The best thing about Mura CMS is that much of what you need to build a typical content managed site is already built-in. However, the second best thing about Mura CMS is that anything that isn't built in can generally be added in using its extensibility without breaking your upgrade path. In the case of my application, one of the requirements was that we use ColdFusion 9's new Solr-based search engine to index all of the site content. By default, Mura uses a standard query based searching, in part, I suspect, because its designed to run on the other CFML engines should you choose to. I am running ColdFusion 9, so I want Solr! Here's how I did it.

Three new projects and three updates this week in ColdFusion open source. Actually, this post covers more than a week as things were a little slow the week before last so I held the post. My guess is that with summer starting, the warm weather and vacations are getting in the way of coding. I know they are getting in the way of mine.

One new and one updated project this week in ColdFusion open-source but also a number of plugins for a continually growing open source ecosystem in ColdFusion. In other news, it sounds like NCDevCon was a success and I congratulate the team who put the event on, including Dan Wilson, Jim Priest and many others. Hopefully I will get to make it next year.

Two new projects and two updates but lots of announcements and tutorials this week in ColdFusion open source. I am sure a lot of you readers are excited preparing for your trips to NCDevCon this weekend. I wish I could go, I just can't make it to every conference out there. Basically, what I am saying is that I am no Simon Free, conference junkie extraordinaire. Methinks Simon probably still has alcohol running through his system from last weekends Flash and the City even as he heads to NCDevCon. Have fun Simon and the rest of you!

Three new projects and three updates in the world of ColdFusion open source this week. This post was actually done yesterday but I've been unable to get computer access all day while enjoying the Flash and the City conference in New York City. For what its worth, the conference has been a lot of fun so far and I am meeting a ton of people in the Flash and Flex community that I had not previously met and learning plenty of new things. Anyway, this explains why, if you posted something since yesterday around 5, it wouldn't be on this post.
