Re: [mezzanine-users] Some newbie questions for someone moving from WP to mezzanine
disable the wysiwyg editor for my account? 2. Not being able to write html from within the editor is horrible, I need to fix it. I spent all last night trying to think about how one could change the user permissions on them self, but couldn't come up with anything. Perhaps it has to do with the backend, but it just seems so unlikely it will never happen. 3. Is it possible to add short-codes or code within the editor so I can access variables and or functions that I have created without making a template? 4. Has mezzanine considered distributing brython along with the servers? I can add it, but it would make more sense to have things in brython rather than javascript for a python based product... 5. How is the user account support? I would like to have people connect with Facebook or google and grab info from there to populate the user's fields on their account pages. 6. What hosts are easy to use with mezzanine? I am looking for a new one and would prefer one with CPanel. 7. Are all the plugins there on the front page? Is there a way to get plugins or templates from within the dashboard? This is something that makes wordPress exceptional for quick development.

Re: [mezzanine-users] Mezzanine and XHTML
You should be aware that any page that has a form in it is not likely to render as correct XHTML, because that will probably come from core Django, which uses HTML5 these days (it tends to render with XHTML 'style', because of history, but it is no longer attempting to generate code that validates under XHTML rules). You need to be clear which XHTML you are aiming at. Are you going for XHTML 1.0 Transitional/Strict? If so, that is a major disadvantage, since it doesn't include things like input type=email etc., or anything modern really. XHTML 1.0 is dead. The only thing that XHTML used to give you that HTML didn't was being able to include SVG inline. But you can do that in HTML5 now. If you are going for XHTML5, that seems fairly pointless - HTML5 explicitly allows both XHTML and HTML style tags (e.g. br and br/), while XHTML5 just disallows the br style. So using XHTML is only likely to give you more headaches (e.g. case sensitive CSS selector matching and other subtleties https://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/HTML_vs._XHTML ) In other words, XHTML 1.0 is dead and XHTML5 is pointless. If you have a policy that you need to meet, you can tell them that XHTML (1.0) has been superseded by HTML5.

I know from listening to Stephen McDonald talk about the birth of Mezzanine - https://vimeo.com/103614826 https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2F103614826sa=Dsntz=1usg=AFQjCNGKZjTWp3ZDvp7rxWqo6T5u6cBdJQ that it was in response to his management wanting to 'go with Wordpress' My working hypothesis is that creating websites with Mezzanine is *not* for non-developers. Other things would be better... Having something that functioned as a WordPress replacement would be awesome. I'm trying to weigh up whether Mezzanine could be that. At the moment, I'm still at a loss for what to say to people who just want a website with a simple CMS. For the typical person, WordPress is going to give huge problems with security etc. - I couldn't sleep at night if I was recommending it or using it for clients. Alternative web site builders like weebly.com get people so far, but you've essentially got to start from scratch when you outgrow what they provide.

[mezzanine-users] Hosted solutions for Mezzanine
Hi all, Are there any hosted solutions for Mezzanine? I'm talking about something oriented at people with zero web development skills - an equivalent to something like Dreamhost for installing WordPress http://www.dreamhost.com/wordpress-hosting/ Unlike most WordPress hosting, the solution I have in mind would automatically manage things like all security updates, and allow point-and-click selecting of different themes. An ideal solution would allow users to export their project so that they can continue to develop it themselves, on hosting of their choice. Does such a thing exist, or something close?
