Pligg is an open source CMS (Content Management System) that you can download and use for free. Pligg CMS provides social publishing software that encourages visitors to register on your website so that they can submit content and connect with other users. Our software creates websites where stories are created and voted on by members, not website editors. Use Pligg content management system to start your own social publishing community in minutes.
Pligg CMS version 1.2.2 is now available for download. The new version has 3 major changes: Security fixes, the default template is now 2 columns, and the Status Update module is now included. We highly recommend that everyone updates to the latest version as soon as possible since there are known security threats in the previous release (although they are minor)
For quite some time now, Pligg has included an API system with the CMS package. This API allows you to perform a few different actions like get your Pligg User ID number, find the site categories and their IDs, and even submit a story from a simple POST form. Today I'm going to explain all of these API functions, since it is something that we haven't talked about much in the past even though it is one of the most interesting things that you can do with Pligg.
Pligg becomes a place where brainstorms can be propelled or quelled in an instant by the type of voting and ranking system that has made Digg such a hit among consumers.
