Project Description
Morphfolia is a CMS and web application framework (for the typical Microsoft ASP.NET stack), designed to work in a hosted environment.

It's been in development for the last 4 years, and is now available on CodePlex.

For more info see its offcial site: www.morphological.geek.nz

Rather than starting a new web application by opening up a blank solution in Visual Studio, start with Morphfolia instead - you get a lot of capability out of the box that you can leverage quickly. If you like the ASP.NET MVC you may like Morphfolia - because it makes extensive use of HttpHandlers it has a lot of the integration points available in the ASP.NET MVC Framework.

Out-Of-The-Box Features / Capabilities

CMS / WCM (End User Features)

• Editing: content and page separation (for more flexible management and reuse of content).
• Human and Search engine friendly URLs
• Blogging.
• Dynamic / auto generated site map
• Site Index (just like an index at the back of a text book).
• Tag-clouds auto filled based on content.
• Search engine, with “Google Suggests” type search preview as the search criteria is typed, including page count and word count.
• Web based admin section.
• Real-time Web Stats, including: traffic flow, ability to view individual session “history” and flow, search and export.
• Supports templates for layout, look and feel.
• File and Image Managers for uploading and management of files; auto generates thumbnail images for uploaded images.
• Basic WYSIWYG content editor, with Image Manager and File Manager integration.
• Also allows “forms” to be defined (at dev-time) for capturing data in a “form” rather than “open HTML” format via the WYSIWYG editor.
• User management; support for individual user logins across multiple directories.
• Audit logging

Framework (Developer Features)

• Purpose built to work in a hosted environment (where you don't have a lot of control over the box), with self-support functionality.
• Searchable administrator audit trail.
• Authentication via standard ASP.NET forms authentication.
• User / role support via standard ASP.NET System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider, System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider and System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider
• Logging: extensive and customizable system logging via Microsoft Enterprise Libraries 3.1; plus online search and extract facility.
• Performance logging via Microsoft Enterprise Libraries 3.1 Tracers.
• Abstracted data access, with a Microsoft SQL 2005 implementation (utilizing the Microsoft Enterprise Libraries data access block).
• Anti XSS provided via Microsoft AntiXSS library.
• XSS and SQL-Injection resistant.
• Multiple integration points: supports (MVC like) HTTP Handlers and WebForms.
• Attribute driven templates and modules.
• Supports addition of templates without recompilation.
• Re-useable custom-property facility.
• Layered architecture.
• Small dependency footprint.
• Library of re-useable web controls (such as Tag-Cloud and Search Input).
