Nucleus CMS is an open-source blog management software package written in PHP,[1] with a MySQL backend. It is used to manage frequently-updated Web content. With a little tweaking (mainly to skins), it might be considered[2] a lightweight content management system.[3]
Nucleus makes use of a callback function which has led to a plugin system in multiple languages.[4][5] The general drive within the development community is that functionality should exist as plugins as totally as possible. This philosophy has led to a relatively light and uncluttered base install.

History
Nucleus was written mostly by Demuynck while he was studying for a master in computer science. In January 2000, Wouter started a web blog using Blogger. After a while, he wanted a commenting feature, and wrote, for the first time, a PHP script for this purpose. Later, he started to use tricks to have multiple Blogger blogs on the same page (using JavaScript). In his words:
| “ | But the Blogger service was getting less and less fun to use, because of the constant downtimes. I had to switch to a decentralized tool, but could not find a 'decent' one: I tried GreyMatter, but it did not allow multiple weblogs. PHP-Nuke and alike tools did not offer enough flexibility with the layout, and were not exactly what I was looking for. Movable Type, pMachine, Pivot etc. did not exist yet, so I had to come up with something of my own.
So I did. In the beginning of 2001, I wrote (starting from scratch) the basis of what would later turn out to become Nucleus: a set of PHP classes, reading data from XML files. No real admin-area yet, no multiple users. But multi-weblog from the start. It was in the summer of 2001 that I decided to move from XML files to MySQL and started building a good admin interface, so I could release the script and share it with other people. It got a little out of hand. |
