I am very excited to announce the initial release of Slatwall, a free and open source enterprise level eCommerce platform.  While it isn't the first open source Coldfusion eCommerce application, and sure not to be the last... I am very confident that it will answer the needs of businesses small and large in a wide variety of markets.

Over the course of the past couple of months there have been a number of questions that popped up on the mura forums regarding URL masking and redirects.  I found myself copying & pasting the same snipit of code for a handful of different users and finally decided that I would take a couple extra minutes to turn it into a plugin and add it to the mura app store.

I've put together my first beta version of a new plug-in for Mura CMS that I call the muraManager.  The plug-in is designed to help administrators that manage multiple mura installations to stay on top of content, comments, site versions, themes, plug-ins, etc.

With the launch of my new website, some people will notice that I no longer have a section called "Mura Plug-ins".  Not to worry, I haven't stopped working with Mura, or given up on those plug-ins but now there are new ways to accomplish the same tasks my plug-ins did before.

After much feedback from the community it was clear that the original idea behind Slatwall, to only operate as a "piggy back" on top of existing inventory management platforms, just wasn't going to cut it.  So we have scratched the original code and with the assistance of Sumit Verma we have designed a new Open Source platform that doesn't rely on an additional database system.

I have received a lot of questions over the last few weeks about the eCommerce plug-in for mura which I have developed.  I hope that this will answer all of your questions.

While developing new plugins for mura, my CMS system of choice, I decided that there was some need for front end integration.
