Dragonfly CMS is an open source content management system (CMS) written in PHP and powered by either MySQL or PostgreSQL. Dragonfly was originally based on PHP-Nuke 6.5[1]. It was a very basic CMS, only including Coppermine and several optimizations or rewrites. Previously it was named CPG-Nuke, "CPG" coming from Coppermine Photo Gallery, and "Nuke" from PHP-Nuke. The development team has spent over two years on it, paying close attention to security, reliability, and features. It still contains PHP-Nuke's basic ideas, but extending it by adding cache support, a new theme system, a complete core rewrite, and several other features.
