editEase - no fuss, no database, no worries
A very simple jQuery CMS that can be configured and set up in around 2 minutes. Plugging in to your site is a breeze, and can be done at almost any time during the life cycle of development.
Note: This is a very small CMS, with no database requirements. Ideal for small sites, or where only a small amount of 'content management' is required. If your site requires all content to be databased, there are many other CMS programs already in existence to choose from, so then maybe this is not the right solution. :)

Update (29 May 09)
As is obvious with lack of any updates, I have found precious little time over the past months to push out any updates. Have had some good feedback, positive and lets say constructive, which has helped with decisions on what to do with this little project.
Suffice to say, the next release (not sure on timings) will be a re-build with a slightly different tack. Same functionality for the end user, but with a no-brainer install, and removal (or optional) of the include requirements for inline content updating. Have started preliminary work on this already, although most in note form so far. Will get updates online and a beta release as soon as feasible.
Update (24 January 09)
Found some time this weekend to finally make some updates as follows.
- editor has been upgraded to the latest TinyMCE release
- editor pop up checks to see available width and height to take up full space on screen
- image list drop down in editor shows all uploaded images so that users no longer need to guess the path
- file manager uses the new SWFupload files
- file manager has some regex to stop unwanted file names/hacks
- HTML Purifier has been added in to assist with keeping nice valid code when uses make modifications
- works with (and includes) jQuery 1.3.1
What is not done yet...
- Removing the includes to allow for full page editing (working on this not sure of a release date yet)
- other stuff that I am sure will be emailed through in time
Update (22 December 08)
The live demo has had the SWFupload upgraded to 2.2.0 beta which appears to now work with FF, IE, Opera and Chrome. Will merge this into the download area shortly.
Update (01 December 08)
There are a number of upgrades that need to be applied to this little project. Least of all is updating SWFUpload to get it working again. (it does appear broken now). On top of that is the WYSIWYG editor which should be updated to the latest release of TinyMCE.
Additional to this, I have had a number of requests to allow a dual form of editing,
- as per current method with includes for the editable content,
- editing the entire page content, so that pages can be .php or .html as per personal choice
Well its going to be nice hot summer, so as I escape some of the heat (indoors), will get this little project updated. This update will be (knowing what I am like) close to a full rebuild, as I wouldn't mind cleaning up some of the older code.
Update (03 October 08) There is an error in the file manager which only effects users that have editEase installed in sub directories (not sub domains). The fix is easy... On the file eepanel.php can you comment out or remove the line 59 which by default has var baseFiles = '/fslib';
Then if you can open the editease.js file you are using and just above or below the eePath variable add in...
var eePath = "WEBPATH_TO/ee";
var baseFiles = 'WEBPATH_TO/fslib';
Hopefully will get some spare time to include these little items below, and have had a few people ask about a forum, so I really need to find some time and get the domain active with some support and sites in the wild pages of editEase in use.
Update (09 September 08) Have a few more updates to come along as the system is tweaked a little over time. One to look at addresses the tinyMCE treatment of image paths. If you add relative_urls : false, just below line 30 ( below tinyMCE.init({ ) of the tiny_mce.php file it will fix up some of the path issues. (I will include this on the next project update)
Update (26 August 08) Updated the sample site download to remove the base .htaccess file that a few people were having issues with (it wasn't as fully compatible as I had hoped). Also a small update to the getfile.php file will come back to the code validity idea shortly. (basically I want the edit areas to be 100% valid code)
Update (06 Jul 08) Yeay, finally made some time to finish (update) this script. Also a face lift was given to the example site so its a little more pleasant on the eye. Updated Tinymce to use 3.1.0.1, and have included a local File Manager complete with Multi File upload using SWFupload. Naturally its all configurable via one file.
Update (30 Nov 07) Bit slower on the next version, although will be including the file manager, and am looking at a very simple form and send process to round out and complete the project.

Update (02 Dec 07) Fixed a little bug in the session destroy script which was conflicting with servers installed with mod_security, creating an automatic Block IP response.

config.php page with the full path otherwise....
"Small customisations in the config.php and editease.jquery.js this for (paths, user access details, pages that can be edited etc..) For tweaking the editor functions please also update tiny_mce.php (notes on that page)"
that file does not have to be in the editEase set of files (although copies
are kept there so you know where to find it)
activate script-on each page that you want to edit (thats all)
$(document).ready(function(){
// load editEase login link and data into the page
$(selector).editease();
