Xaraya is a Content Management System and is Free Software published under the GNU General Public License.
Xaraya is written in the programming language PHP, and is based on the previously unpublished 0.8 branch of
PostNuke (circa mid-2002), however the codebase has undergone a complete rewrite. [2]
Xaraya features a modular and secure architecture, with a focus on separation between design and content, in order
to achieve a more flexible product. This added flexibility allows Xaraya to be used in many different ways, including
blog portals, online communities, e-commerce and brochure sites.
Xaraya can be operated with different databases, including MySQL, Postgres and SQLite.
Core Modules
Included in Xaraya are 10 modules which provide the basic functionality of a Content management system.
• Authsystem: Default user authentication module.
• Base: Provides an interface to basic configuration settings, as well as the ability to create custom static pages.
• Blocks: Manages blocks, block groups, and block types. A block is an area of auxiliary content on a page.
• Dynamic Data: provides the functionality to define data objects using metadata (stored in the database). The data
objects can be used to extend existing data objects in most modules, or to provide all the database access required
in a module. The dynamic data objects can map onto individual physical tables, a single shared table, text files or
any other underlying storage mechanism by extending classes.
• Installer: Supplies the routines used to install Xaraya.
• Mail: Sends mail from Xaraya, and manages mail templates.
• Modules: Manages modules, which provide additional functionality in Xaraya.
• Privileges: Allows the management of user access rights.
• Roles: Manages users and user groups.
• Themes: Manages themes, which alter the appearance of the site.
