Hey Codeigniters,
This Library is a wrapper for Osmek's API.
You can download the Osmek CI library here (includes Osmek Library, config file, and helper)
Complete documentation of Osmek.php
Our Support Site where you can ask questions and chat with us.
Any feedback or comments would be much appreciated.
Attached is a diagram explaining how Osmek can be utilized.
Updated with Sample Site: CI Sample Site for Download
Includes a Blog, Photo Gallery, Events, and a Single Entry page.
Thanks,
George Henderson

Just updated Osmek.com with a new design and most importantly a new pricing tier. Osmek now has a free package!

I really like the idea of having all my content on a central server. I wonder, however, how the performance hit of your solution is. And, second, how safe is the data transmitted and backed up? If someone uses your service as a central data storage for the contents of multiple sites, a nice and clean backup solution would be required.
Plus I noticed 2 bugs:
- Many fields don't properly support UTF-8 names (my name for instance): "Uploaded by", "Recent activity" etc.
- The image uploader can't (really) handle apostrophes ("Le Temple d\'Athena.jpg").

I definitely give it a try :-)

I'm glad you like the idea of a "Cloud CMS", its an idea that sort of fell into our laps as a solution for our own client's sites. As for performance, I have never noticed a lag in response using Osmek, but we do offer the ability to cache both text and images using our client-side library. With caching turned on, your site will load text and images faster than pulling them from a local database because its as if they were hard coded.
Security is very important to us and our clients. To access your information through our api, we require the api key associated with your account. Only users with permissions to access your account settings can access this key. If you have any other specific security concerns I would be happy to address them.
We don't currently offer a public utility for back up. We do daily backups of our system and the database so the data is secure. Because everything is read accessible through the API however, you could create a custom utility with the API. For instance, the Osmek.php client side script (http://osmek.com/user_guide/resources/integration_scripts/Osmek.php) has a caching method which will save all responses to your server. This may not be exactly what you're looking for but I'd be interested to hear about what you would like to see in regards to back ups.
Thanks for the heads up on the bugs. Ill look in to them.

Thanks for the feedback. Matt, my partner, said he had a nice time exchanging emails with you this morning (well... morning for us ha!). Its really nice for us to have people like you willing to dabble in a new product. I really believe ci and osmek were made for each other. Placing content management in the cloud seperate from where its viewed is revolutionary idea. Any more suggestions or questions you might have would be invaluable in helping people understand what Osmek is all about.

Philipp,
I was able to fix the two bugs you found
-The lack UTF-8 support in Osmek for names was caused by our signup form not having UTF-8 support. This has been addressed, nice catch
- The image uploader now supports apostrophes without escaping them, thanks for the pointer

Yesterday we added a Create() method to our API via _xammax_ suggestion, allowing users to create new posts and items remotely. This exciting addition gives Osmek's API CRUD support!

Thanks do far, the feedback has been great. We plan on adding an account_info function to the API that returns some basic account information, and also give users the ability to set a timezone for each account thanks to some great suggestions. Any more takers? I'd love to see what everyone is dreaming up with Osmek.
