Why ManiaPress?
As the Maniaplanet community is growing, more editorial Websites appear. With ManiaPress, we hope to bring all this great community content directly to the players (and vice-versa).
First, we're giving powerful tools to the editors so they can bring their content directly in Maniaplanet. Then, they'll be able to use the tools to bring the players to their content with ManiaHome bookmarks & events (and later with ManiaPub ads).
Demo
This URL is the Maniaplanet Blog: http://blog.maniaplanet.com/
Now try to paste that URL in the address bar of the Manialink browser in Maniaplanet.
Components
ManiaPress consists of:
- ManiaPress Core plugin: shared config and libraries
- ManiaPress Theme Switcher plugin: automatically selects the ManiaPress Theme when viewing from Maniaplanet, so your install can be both a Manialink and a Website at the same time
- ManiaPress Theme: a theme to display WP as a Manialink
- ManiaPress Event Publisher: automatically post an Event to ManiaHome whenever you publish a post so that everyone that bookmarked your Manialink is kept posted
This is a very early release, so it will lack features and have bugs.
