b2evolution is a multi-lingual, multi-user, multi-blog publishing system written in PHP and backed by a MySQL database. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License and is available without charge. François Planque forked b2evolution from version 0.6.1 of b2/cafelog in 2003.[2] A more widely-known fork of b2/cafelog is WordPress.[3]
Most of the early major releases were named after famous cities or particular places [4] the project maintainer has visited and/or was inspired by.[5]
Main Features
Known primarily for its multi-blog capabilities,[6] b2evolution also includes "all the features of traditional blog tools"[7] like file & photo management, advanced skinning, multiple domain support, detailed user permissions, and W3C standards compliance. It installs on almost any LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) server. Configuration is handled through the installer or administrative back-end.
In addition to its ability to manage multiple blogs, b2evolution supports multiple users and admins under a single installation without the need of external plugins. b2evolution is also supported by numerous third-party plugins. These include text format extensions enabling Textile, Auto-P, Greymatter, BB code, Texturize, LaTeX, and graphic smilies. Also, plugins which facilitates full integration with third party tools such as Gallery 2, YouTube, and digg are available.
Other features include community-wide spam filters, in which many b2evolution sites aggregate and tag spammer IPs into a central blacklist for the benefit of all b2evolution blogs, a fully skinnable interface, localization into a dozen language packs, and a fully exposed API for plugin developers to add new functionality.
