Expression Engine (CMS) with SQLite

Question

Has anyone out there hacked up Expression Engine (CMS) to work with SQLite? If so, any good tips or guides on how to do so?

Answer 1

Given that it's proprietary software under copyright and not available (so far as I can tell) under an F/OSS license, tightly tied to MySQL (no other dbs supported and you can't run MySQL in strict mode, meaning they rely on nonstandard extensions) I don't think you're going to find what you are looking for.

Even if someone had done it for their own use it would look an awful lot like a derivative work (though I suppose you could try to claim it was a parody) and distributing it would be a copyright violation.

Why don't you contact the vendor and offer to shell out some $$? Or look into a F/OSS alternative? There are (*cough*) several of them out there.

I don't know of any Expression Engine 1.6 that has been modified to support SQLite; however, the next version (2.0) is based on the CodeIgniter framework which has a DAL which supports many databases. Here is a post from an Ellis Labs employee confirming this.
