A typical CMS resided on your server and offers a fill in the blanks way of creating and managing your site.
I don't use CMSs so I can't help you in choosing one, but there are a few in the cpanel for Trap17, so my advice would be to just try them.
10x, wondering if cms means for a normal site or portal what wordpress&co means for blogs...
I mean if i want a blog i use some bloging system because it's optimised for writing/posts, if i want a portal i use a cms, if i want an image gallery use one. Does this work like yhis? -of course assuming i don't want to hard-code all that site, just a few adjustments...
I am actually starting a process in a search of a content management system. I really dont know too much about them but visit this site: http://www.opensourcecms.com/ This site has a listing of several content management systems and also allows you to demo them a little bit. They also have ratings for the systems. Thats really all the advice I can give, as I am really unfamiliar with them. Good luck
thank you for the advice, i've already went through that site and even tried a few of the cms' but as i am tottaly unfamiliar to cms' i don't know what to look for and what to evaluate. At most i could evaluate them by the look and feel of the sites being developed around them. And thus i liked mambo/ joomla, but i just don't know if i'd do for me more than wordpress for example would.
Features - make sure it has the ones you want Html/Coding - Make sure it doesn't make you do more than you want with html or coding Support - It needs to have good support or you are pretty much on your own User-friendly - Should be user friendly too Would have edited that post but it won't let me so: Make sure its compatible with your hosting company (like it doesn't use the wrong type of scripting or anything and make sure that it's supported by your host) otherwise you might run into a few problems also read reviews that users of the cms you want have written and some tutorials before getting it if you do all of that you shouldn't have much problem with it once you decide on one ok that was strange but i just noticed something else that might help find out all the info about it that you can ... well anyway if that doesn't help ne ask a specific question i know enough about them (been using different cms stuff for 4 years) that i should have an answer but heres a warning i mostly use online ones (the ones that you use online then it tells u some info and you can make an html code from it)
Pk, here it goes what i want do get:
-easy to change the overall design -very flexible templates- -able of setting up a photo gallery; -able to set up a blog based on text mostly; -able to get a log-in system; -eventually gat a shopping cart to work easily. Guess but the final one i could use wordpress and plug-ins as it-s fast and looks good. So i'll wait for your answers:) Thanks
Wow.. I forgot about this, I thought it was "Console Management System" also some of these cms are PHPNuke, Mambo, e107 .. which one do you think is the best?

Thanks man for that time u took. I really don't have all that time and furthermore that's why i love forums there are many other possible wise-enough guys to give u a hand without reinventing the weel as long as they already know the answers. Also when i know anything asked here i try to help cause it takes less to give an answer than doing research on a tottaly new topic, which i would if i only had time enough. Thanks again and keep up, u're doing great. I'd like forums have more people like yourself.
Here some links that might be of use. I only numbered them because that helps me out in ordering and organizing them.
1.Read it's Editorial Style Guide 2.Go Here so you can see a tutorial (I read through a little of it but not all of it... It does give information about Joomla you might need/want) 3.Click Here Thats a helpful site 4.Try the forums... Click Here to go to them 5.Joomla Module Tutorials 6.This site might be useful. It's called "Joomla Resource" 7. Joomla Cafe's Tutorial Page 8. Joomla Shack has some useful stuff but you have to register )registration is quick and easy just type in your name, e-mail, choose a username/password then check your e-mail click the activation link & login and you can browse all their stuff) 9. Search results for "Joomla Tutorial" in: MSN Ask Jeeves/ Google/ Yahoo/ LookSmart (on the search engine i used it does those 4 in one just click on name of search engine for other results) Those aren't in any particular order but they all have information about Joomla that could be useful to you. I couldn't find any tutorials for joomla that specifically said they were for building a site whether it was from scratch or not. Sorry. Oh yeah key words : might and could... I don't know if you would think those are useful but they have alot of information and stuff. Sorry if none of it has anything of use. Good luck with finding a good tutorial. All that was only 88 minutes worth of research anyway.
I tried out the demo site for Joomla, and it looks really organized. Plus it has features aplenty. If you're thinking of putting up a big site, this is a good one. On the other hand, if you're aiming more like a blog/small personal site, then either Nucleus or WordPress will do nicely.
