What's The Best Content Management Software?

Codemaster Snake
I would suggets you to go for XOOPS. It's a very flexible CMS and very easy to use. It's also very popular on the internet. You can find it at www.XOOPS.org There is a very huge community to help you out. I have been using it for past three years now and It has evolved so much.


And regarding PHPBB. I'll say that it's the best forum script

And for wordpress you just can't integrate it with Joomla as it is by just giving a link.

Well, it really depends on what you want to use it on.

DokuWiki is good for small time developers. PostNuke is good for clans. Siteframe is good for blogs and community based sites. Drupal is a little better with some communities. Coranto is good for sites that just need news updated frequently, without extreme bloat.

However, there are bad content management systems. Joomla is rather bloated, with a poor interface, and an even worse templating system. I wouldn't reccomend it to anyone. Siteframe can do what Joomla can with half the bloat and twice the performance. Joomla is suberior to any given content management system, I believe. phpBB is even worse for forum environments - it can't contain spambots, its CP is out of date, trying to remove multiple users is like pulling teeth even with a mod, and there isn't even a decent moderator CP. SMF is much better at what phpBB does.

For me, its Subdreamer. It costs a bit of money, which sucks, but It comes with heaps of different skins and plug-ins you can use, so its really customizable.

The main reason i use it though is because it integrates with IPB, which is the software im using for my forum. It can integrate with the other popular forum software too, so you can log in with your forums username and password, which is really convenient. Here is the link: http://www.subdreamer.com/

I think Joomla (www.joomla.org) is the best CMS. It is very easy to use. You do not need any knowledge of php, html or whatever (although it will help if you did a bit). There are thousands of cool mods, themes, components e.t.c.

If you're thinking of making a content site, but don't know any knowledge of php or any other internet language. Go For Joomla.

Regarding the forum script, no doubt there exists better forum scripts than PhpBB .But ,I want a forum script which is open source/free.
Is there any better scripts than PhpBB in open source/free sw platform?

    the text is bigger, the hegiht of the layout increases, without affections the layouts design. A
    good example would be blogs, where when you make more entries they go down the page rather than
    making new pages. I did think about i frames, but that is not what i was looking for. I dont mind

    software... I like the ease of use, and simplistic design of phpBB. I like the many feature of IPB,
    such as changing rankm colors, and the rank masking system for forum permissions. I also want three
    of the mods I currently have on my forums, the Army System, IBPro Arcade, and D2-Shoutbox, I know
    phpBB has an Arcade mod, and a Shoutbox, but frankly they both need some work ....

    might want to consider using a "Content Management System," also known as CMS. With CMS, content is
    stored in a database away from the site's templates, which makes it impossible to destroy the
    design structure of the site when editing. CMS systems allow anyone to edit his or her website,
    regardless of technical skill level. Pages can be added or changed easily without knowing any
    intricate coding. Many websites that use CMS resemble a portal design. This type of sy....
