Nucleus Core Features

Maintenance of one or more Nucleus weblogs/news-sites

With Nucleus, you can set up one or more weblogs. If you want to, you can even show the contents of multiple weblogs on the same page.

Multiple Authors in Nucleus

Each blog has its own team of authors. Some authors will only have posting rights, others will be allowed to change settings for the blog as well.

Categories in Nucleus

Within a weblog, you can set up one or more categories. Each item you add in your weblog will be put in one of these categories.

Built-in commenting system in Nucleus

Nucleus provides a built-in Commenting System, so there's no need for external commenting tools.

A karma-voting system is also provided.

FancyURLs in Nucleus

Nucleus can provide URLs optimized for both readers and search engines

Drafts and Future Posts in Nucleus

In a hurry? Need some more thinking? Mark an item as draft and continue working on it later. Or would you like an item to only appear starting from a certain date? Mark it as a future item.

Nucleus is Fully Tweakable

The way your Nucleus site looks is fully tweakable through skins and templates, and multiple CSS files. Next to that, the language used by the Nucleus admin area can easily be changed through language-files.

Plugins for Nucleus

Additional features can be programmed in so called plugins (see Nucleus plugins API) and be installed on Nucleus. This allows you to have the features you want, without having the Nucleus core to become bloated. The Nucleus plugin interface offers plugin authors lots of flexibility. For examples of how plugins can extend Nucleus funtionality, see further down in this document.

Nucleus and Plugins?

Plugins can extend Nucleus to almost everything you desire. The reason why these features are not included in the Nucleus Core, is that we didn't want it to become bloated. Some of you will like these features, others will like others. Nucleus provides a lightweight tool that can be used for different purposes, by simply plugging in the needed plugins.
