what is Content Management System - What kind of CMS do you like?

What is a CMS?

QUOTE
A content management system (CMS) is a computer software system for organizing and facilitating collaborative creation of documents and other content. A content management system is frequently a web application used for managing websites and web content, though in many cases, content management systems require special client software for editing and constructing articles. The market for content management systems remains fragmented, with many open-source and proprietary solutions available.


What kinds of CMS do you have?

There are a lot of CMS. Opensourcecms has organized all the famous CMS. Take a look:

- PHPnuke
- Dragonfly
- Geeklog
- Mambo

Maybe heard of it, it's a many sided structure. You can put Stories, Profiles, Downloads etc. on it.

How to install?

First you have to know is little bit php and database settings.
Second need a nice host (like this one Trap17.com) for database and php support. Third make you CMS to you own flavour. Example modify the color make stories.

At my previous host they didn't support CGI formats so I came to here.

Recources:

http://opensourcecms.com/index.php
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_management_system

Maybe you think it sucks but for me it's a easy job!

Succes with it,

Franklinweb

Right, easy and quick way to get the job done. But I prefer to hand-code my sites, since I'm a proffesional tongue.gif Just kidding!
It's ok to use CMS, but only after you know every detail of it and know how to use it properly. If you can create your own templates, that's a big plus too.
I've used mambo open source, and was pleased with it until I wanted to create valid code (HTML). This was not possilble using CMS like Mambo without some serious coding (and I didn't need all of the features of it), so I decided to do it by hand.
But, in my opinion CMS' have bright future, since people want results fast those days. They want their site up and running with all those fancy features in no time. That's where CMS can really be of assistance.
However, proffesionals either create their own CMS' or buy it from someone.

I like using CMS' that are already made by somebody because I don't know PHP (wish I did). I like e107 the most. After that Mambo is ok, and so are ones like phpNuke.

I haven't tried very many CMS' to tell you the truth because the ones I try usually work just fine.

I always have trouble trying to get CMS' to work with forums. I can't get the usernames and passwords to be the same on both!

Well I used CuteNews for a while. It was pretty simple but missing a few things like the emoticons. They make things easy for you but I like just putting text in myself. I don't know why but I do. I have been thinking about making my own content management system though. I probably ought to learn php first. lol

Just a note, Mambo CMS, is now Joomla! CMS : www.joomla.com
It got renamed/ Re-branded.
It abssicly carried on the last release of MAmbo, and added some fixes to it, and released it as Joomla! 1.0. So development now continues under that etc.
The latest is 1.03. Its a an excellent CMS, with a huge community of support. Tons of themes, modules components etc. Truely excellent smile.gif

It doesn't matter if you listed your resources. The reason why you have to use the quote tags when you copy something verbatim is to prevent you from gaining credits that you did not earn. Everything inside the quote or code tags is not counted towards your credits. If everyone got away with copying and pasting, then we'd have people who can gather up 1000s of credits in a matter of hours.

I use Land Down Under (LDU) for all my websites. Its quite a bit like PHP-Nuke but I like LDU much better. Easier to use, more features. As you can see from my signature, i really like LDU smile.gif

I have been using Mambo for a while now and I really like it. It is fast feature rich, and most importantly, FREE. It takes a little while to get used to it (the mambots, modules and components, templates and all the other stuff), but once you get used to it, you'll find it's really great. I just wish that it had better versioning control (and I knew how to use it). I love Mambo, I will use it as long as there is a community.

I've just been looking at CMS Made Simple in more depth today and it's looking pretty good. Needed to swap TinyMCE for FCKeditorX though because FCKeditorX takes ages to load up properly.

I use CMS Made Simple. Its not to in depth, but allows for alot more hand coded pages. It really acts as a content MANGEMENT system and not a Content WYSIWYG Editor. smile.gif My only issue with it is templates. There are none to download, but it seems simple HTML and CSS to edit it, though I havn't tried it yet.

www.cmsmadesimple.org

And ofcourse Wordpress gets the job done.

I also have CMS Made Simple running on my site - it's not that simple, but it's eficient in many areas. See my topic over at http://www.trap17.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=36520&hl= for more on my view.

  14. Array Pointers Can Be Backwards
    (Kind of) (7)
    I just found this out today: When you're using arrays, when you reference a certain index, you
    can switch the pointer and the subscript around. I know I'm not explaining that very good, but
    here's and example: CODE int a[] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11}; int b =1; int
    c[] = {0,-5,11,0,0,5,0,0,0}; cout << b[a][c];    //Same as
    c[a[b]]; See? 'b' is actually just an integer, it's not an array,
    or pointer, or anything. Usually, you would have to put the array first, then an integer. Like....
