Thanks for this great article. I'm also running multiple koken installations and could fix all problems with php 7.4.
However, I decided to completely reprogram the frontend and backend version of Koken. If you are interested, take a look at my article: michaelkirste.de/artikel/koken-cms...

That looks really interesting! I know a few people have been looking to do that but haven't found the appetite to do so.
Is any of the Koken codebase left in your code or have you built an entirely new solution from scratch?
If you make it public at any point I'd be interested to take a look!

Hi Alistair, thanks for your reply. I did a complete rewrite of the system. This approachs offers the best performance and the new systems does not depend on so many other libraries.

Don't sell yourself short then, market it as a new system!
Koken was great but has a lot of baggage and although dead, someone still has the trademarks so probably worth distancing yourself a bit.

Regardless, good luck with it and if you do make it public I'll definitely check it out.

Hey guys,
I finally finished the new CMS system for managing photo portfolio websites called PortfolioSiteLab. There is even an automated script that migrates your Koken data.

If you are interested, check out: portfoliositelab.com

BR regards and have a great weekend

Hey folks, over the last year I further worked on PortfolioSiteLab. Nearly all former Koken functionalities have been implemented and many more added. Furthermore, setting up the new system is much easier using an automatic install script which also migrates an existing Koken installation.
