History
Typesetter CMS started as Gpeasy CMS, a free and open-source content management system (CMS) for PHP 5 under GPL V2 - license. Gpeasy was developed by Joshua Schmid,[1] who opened a forum on gpeasy.com in 2010. The distribution was at first hosted on SourceForge.[2] Since 2013 it was also hosted on GitHub with version 4.3.[3]
Gpeasy is characterized by its quick setup[4] without much configuration and its user-friendliness (Wysiwyg-page-editor).[5] It has a clear logical division into themes, addons and data as well as the kernel in the include directory.
It contains a simple multilanguage - multi-user content management with detailed rights assignment.
Gpeasy creates a separate php-file for each page. This makes page access fast without file caching.
The built-in page manager shows the page tree visually and makes the creation of new pages particularly easy. It allows to move the pages with the mouse. The individual leaves of the tree can be provided with meta information and since 2018 with classes.The special feature is that several menus can be created and several menu variants can be selected, which can be positioned at different places in the theme. In addition, Gpeasy has the CKEditor 4 with WYSIWYG mode directly in the page. At the top of the pages is a history-button. It allows the creation of additional extra areas that can be edited with the Ckeditor.
Typesetter CMS
In 2015, Jürgen Krausz from Grafik Krausz in Graz, Austria, took over the development of GPEASY CMS and renamed it Typesetter CMS. He extended it with:
- embedded Less compiler[6]
- embedded Scss-PHP-compiler[7]
- Bootstrap framework[8] as standard for the themes.
- Elfinder 2 filemanager[9]
- Improved registration for plugins and themes
- Encrypted Login
At that time, the development was hosted on GitHub and Joshua Schmid closed gpeasy.com and opened the website typesettercms.com with a forum and plugins and themes to download and publish.
Fork on GitHub
In 2020, Grafik Krausz gave up web development, and due to the Ukraine war, three other co-developers from Ukraine also dropped out. Typesetter 5.2 supported at that time PHP up to version 7.4 and jQuery 2.24.
However, Typesetter CMS was forked on GitHub.[10] This allowed the CMS to be further developed and updated for newer PHP versions, bugs to be fixed and new features to be added. The actual version 5.3 is one of the fastest CMSs with Pagespeed over 90%[11][12] without special htacess-caching-parameters. It supports
- PHP 8.x.
- jQuery UI 13.2 and jQuery 3.6
- Bootstrap - Framework 3.4 – 5.3
- Scssphp 1.11
- Lessphp 4.4 (2.53)
- CKEditor 4.22 (with easy plugin-addition and skin-switching)
- a Sil-Fonts - Repo
- Elfinder 2.1 filemanager
- PhpMailer 6.9.1[13]
In 2024, Joshua Schmid closed typesettercms.com and the distribution is now only at Github.
