Tripredacus Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I am getting my webserver back tomorrow after being without one for almost 2 months now. I am going to go for a total site redesign but I don't feel up to coding my own CMS. I am looking for recommendations. I have used Xoops and Mambo in the past and I really like how they work and look. Are these good pre-packaged CMS to use or is there better ones?I am only looking for the ability to have a wiki, a meta gallery, support PHP and MySQL. Integration with IPB would be a plus.Basically I need a CMS to provide me the account management. I've written one in the past but I remember it being difficult and annoying. I don't feel like writing one again.So what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 (edited) my vote is for Joomla but im not sure if you are looking for that much stuff of not, you can do ALOT with Joomla. Edited November 25, 2008 by ripken204 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 my vote is for Joomla but im not sure if you are looking for that much stuff of not, you can do ALOT with Joomla.I've tried Joomla and Mambo and played around with integrations, but I couldn't get the desired design aspects I need out of them. They are great applications but do not meet my needs. I am currently working on another integration project where a CMS isn't going to be required.

Kenny McCormick Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I recommend CMS Made Easy... It's very easy to integrate it with a static website without changing to much code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumpy Dooby Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Drupal is the best. No if ands or buts about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarle Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Generally speaking using either Joomla or Drupal goes well due to their obviously widespread acceptance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 My research group's site is based of Drupal, but there were some pieces of functionality that I simply wasn't able to create or find. I personally found the content structure more confusing than Joomla's as well (you've already mentioned Joomla doesn't do what you want/need, but I figured I'd mention it anyways).Just my two cents.

nomadturk Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) CMS Made Simple is quite easy to deal with. You can integrate your designs pretty quick too.People say Drupal is very powerful too. You may choose that too.About Joomla. I used it, and i hated it. Sometimes it's too hard to deal with (v1).I think you should better take a look at http://www.opensourcecms.com/That will suit you better.

fizban2 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 give Umbraco a tryhttp://umbraco.codeplex.com/ watch the video it is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 Oops I forgot about this thread. I had settled on MediaWiki instead of a CMS. After all that work I still don't even update my site anyways. The motivation for me doing it has left me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
