Top stuff chilliboy, I’ll add all this later on tonight because at the moment I’m flat out.
Very Stable codebase, fork of phpnuke – you’d be negligent to not investigate it side by side with php nuke
the nukes seems to lack flexibility and you can recgnize a nuked website so easily…Those are the only argument against, ohh by the way i think the best one is Ez Publish but you have to be a seasoned veteran in Cms and other to intall it…Plus there is few communty help there…
Something the nukes have in numbers…
The coolest that I’ve used is WebGUI by Plain Black. I’ve tried Metadot, it was great for awhile, and then found that it wasn’t flexible enough for me.
You can find WebGUI at:
http://www.plainblack.com
Also, Metadot can be found on
Guys,
I’m somehow tired of searching … I have searched and searched for a CMS and actually I’m trying to build one now.
But it’s hard and takes time even though I advance day after day.
The problem here is that I cannot test all these CMSs …
… I’ve already realized my complete graphics for my website and I would have liked to give my visitors news, articles with images, links, many links, picture galleries, special section reserved for some members.
But with my graphics that are just graphics, but man, I’ve downloaded Post Nuke, installed it and I was about to scream …
… to a web designer, I mean a graphic side web designer that CMS is just hell …
I would like somethins really customizable, with features above but above all, something where if I want I can add code from other sources.
Any guess ???
Thanks in advance, I cannot try them all … sorry …
Andrea
Try these demo’s and see what you think. I would put them both above ezpublish and the nukes. Both are excellent and cater to slightly different needs:
Thanks Chilliboy,
I think I’ll go with Plainblack for now.
It’s free and since testing is also taking me time, I’ll get this that seems really customizable and powerful too.
Thanks a lot,
Andrea
Ehy, wait a moment …
Plainback is perl based, not php …

No, only two files are written in Perl. The rest of siteseed is written in php.
I was talking about WebGUI, not siteseed …
can somebody fill me in on what exactly a CMS is (and dont just tell me it manages content ;)). Are they like text editors for adding stuff to a database?
Yes, they can add text, images, links, video, whatever …
and place all this content in pre-formatted (always changable) templates in order to separate - that’s the main idea - the content from the way it’s seen.
This in order to allow whenever wanted to update the site and just change templates or some graphics files without having to type in or ctrl-c / ctrl-v all contents from html to new html files.
For sure, some super experts here will add something more … I’m just a new rookie !!
But I’m building my own site this way …

Ahhh sorry about that. I was very tired at the time.
heheheheh, since after noting it was Perl based I have decided to build my own CMS (just internal use, no other stupid CMS on the market) …
… I read your message and I was going “WHATT??? noooo!”
Then I re-read and understood it was not WebGUI but Siteseed.
Anyway WebGUI seems really to rock … unfortunately it is Perl based and I do not like Perl …
I like PHP !!!
What??
I LOVE PHP !!!
Does anyone use the SiteWorks Pro CMS? It seems to have a very cool article section similar to the one on SitePoint.

Hey I took a look at that. SiteWorks is exactly what I am looking for right now. Looks very clean. I would like to see some other people that are using. The only thing that bothers me is the $200 price tag. It might be worth it though.
