Official Barebones CMS Shortcodes
The official set of Shortcodes are designed to allow content editors access to the most common elements on the web. Shortcodes extend the capabilities of the basic Content Widget. These are not included in the core package to simplify the core distribution. Official Shortcodes are developed by the author of the Barebones CMS.
Flash Object (SWF)
This Shortcode allows for content authors to insert Flash objects/SWF files into content. This is a very general-purpose Shortcode and can insert screencasts, advertisements, videos, and anything else that is pure Flash content. To mix Flash and Javascript, combine this Shortcode with the Code widget.
Code/Syntax Highlighter
This Shortcode allows for syntax highlighting source code (PHP, Javascript, C/C++, etc.) that leverages the SyntaxHighlighter Javascript library with some modifications to improve certain languages. It is used on this website to show various source code examples in a friendly fashion.

Ultimate E-mail Toolkit
The Ultimate E-mail Toolkit is a PHP library designed to handle all of your one-off e-mail needs on nearly all web hosts. This toolkit directly talks to SMTP and POP3 servers just as a regular e-mail client would instead of relying on the PHP mail() function. The result is a high level of reliability in delivery of e-mail messages to recipients. Functions like ConvertHTMLToText() and MakeValidEmailAddress() make it easy to do complex tasks such as convert ugly HTML input into a beautiful plain-text equivalent and analyze an e-mail address to automatically correct common mistakes. All of that while following the various IETF RFC Standards surrounding e-mail. The Ultimate E-mail Toolkit is extracted from Barebones CMS and the license is also your pick of MIT or LGPL.
Ultimate E-mail Toolkit 1.0RC4 is the fourth release candidate of Ultimate E-mail Toolkit.

Ultimate Web Scraper Toolkit
The Ultimate Web Scraper Toolkit is a powerful set of tools designed to handle all of your web scraping needs on nearly all web hosts. This toolkit offers clean, RFC-compliant web scraping that makes it easy to create web requests that are indistinguishable from a real web browser, which minimizes headaches with browser sniffing servers. Once a document is retrieved, the included copy of the Simple HTML DOM library makes it easy to extract the desired content from the document via the jQuery-like selector syntax. This toolkit is extracted from Barebones CMS and the license is also your pick of MIT or LGPL.
Ultimate Web Scraper Toolkit 1.0RC8 is the eighth release candidate of the Ultimate Web Scraper Toolkit.

Admin Pack

CSPRNG
This CSPRNG was born out of the need for generating cryptographically strong random strings for session keys and security tokens in Barebones CMS across all platforms that PHP is supported on. If you have been looking for a good, cross-platform CSPRNG solution for PHP, look no further. While it is primarily for generating security tokens, it can also be used to generate random numbers. The CSPRNG license is also your pick of MIT or LGPL.
CSPRNG 1.0RC3 is the third release candidate of CSPRNG. This product is feature-complete but really needs some serious cryptanalysis by industry veterans before I feel comfortable flagging it as a 1.0.

WebCron
WebCron is a unique product that offers a complete webcron solution to programmers to fake a cron-like interface on web hosts that do not offer shell accounts. 'webcron' is geek-speak for a scheduler that runs a task periodically on a web server. This solution operates by either manually adding a HTML 'img' tag to your site header/footer or by periodically running the WebCron client component on your local computer. The WebCron license is also your pick of MIT or LGPL. If you need to periodically run code on some sort of schedule on your web server, please try this tool out and provide feedback.
WebCron 1.0RC13 is the thirteenth release candidate of WebCron.
