Textpattern Resources at textpattern.org

This site is the resource base for the Textpattern CMS Community. Back in the day, various Textpattern resources were loosely gathered at the forum, which remains a beautiful place and a wealth of information and support, but there was a need for a comprehensive site where authors could post their resources and the general community could easily locate and access them. ::Enter this site, in the autumn of 2004.

A Textpattern installation is the obvious choice for this project.
Textpattern is our common tie and what we’re all familiar with, or becoming familiar with.

/originally 19november2004, open 24november2004, revamped as TRv2 in november2006

This is a resource site for Textpattern users. If you’re stumbling across this without specifically looking for Textpattern resources, you should probably head over to the main Textpattern website to learn what all this fuss is about.

The brief is: Textpattern is a CMS developed by Dean Allen. This site, Textpattern Resources, was developed as a resource base for the Textpattern community, with all information gathered from Textpattern users, and entirely managed with Textpattern. For more answers, including a half explanation of Usel, visit the Help page.

This site is managed, naturally, by Textpattern and is hosted at Textdrive.

This site was founded by Alicson, and would not have been possible without the gracious efforts of Remillard, who also authored several custom plugins for this site as it was being built, Wilshire, who put together the first extensive archives on this site, added many key plugins, and helped conceptualize TRv2, and Ruud, who built half the backend (expanding, streamlining and adding crucial plugins, adjustments to the admin side) of TRv2 and spent countless hours making everything work in general.

Their work, along with may other very beautiful plugins and mods made available by the talented and generous textpattern community, are what makes this site do what it does. Further and continuing immense thanks go to Osei, Manfre, Andrew, Obeewan, Variaas, Sencer, Zem, Hakjoon, Skubidu, and Eric. And a genuine note of appreciation goes out to everyone who makes this community what it is.

Questions, comments, and inquiries about participating with the site are very welcome. There is a page that might answer some of your questions, and otherwise you might want to submit a question there. If you are looking for feedback, technical assistance or other support with your own website, the best place for you to communicate is on the Textpattern Forums.

Comments form is currently in timeout because we’re running an old old copy of Textpattern with some mods that have been too friendly to spambots; will overhaul everything at some point and contact form will be restored and more convenient. Meanwhile, please reach us directly through email.
