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.
Maybe you think it sucks but for me it's a easy job!
Succes with it,
Franklinweb

In future postings, please use quote tags for material which is not your own. I have added the quotes around the definition found on the Wikipedia site. Because you are new and because you referenced your sources, this a verbal warning only.

Right, easy and quick way to get the job done. But I prefer to hand-code my sites, since I'm a proffesional 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
Wow thanks for replying jlhaslip sorry man but did you see resources?
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 http://www.neocrome.net More info ^^
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 ratjer skin my own template using Adobe photoshop. These seem more for the lazy ppl, but they do get complicated on installation etc. I do beleive php-nuke is the best one.
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. 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.

Now that we all know Microsoft is comming out with a new windows soon. It's called Windows 7.
Now after reading an article about that comming out, i got a little upset. For one in the last
sentece that i read, microsoft says We are trying to create an operating system that can make you
stop dreaming about OS (Operating System) X or Linux. Well for all of that don't know what OS X
is, it's Macintosh's Operating system. Last time i knew was that MAC has created an
operating system that runs off of the same hardware as Microsoft Windows does. The hardware th....
I wonder if there is a problem with the PHPMyAdmin system again? When trying to get into it, I once
again get the following: QUOTE Warning: session_write_close() : SQLite: session write query

Hi all! I've been searching the internet like crazy but just can't find any answers to

smaller layer/apDiv or perhaps something i've yet to discover. I just can't for my life
understand how to do this nor what tools and options to use. I am using Dreamweaver CS3 in design
mode and have no clue how to hard code in html, CSS etc.. Here's a picture of what i want to

I have a very irregular comic strip that I make, and I want my next strip to be in the spirit of
XKCD's comic "f--- grapefruit", and rate operating systems instead. I'm running a poll
here, based on whether people think an operating system is better than Windows 2000 or not, which
I'm going to use as a benchmark (sea-level point) for rating systems. The rating system is on 3
axes, "usefulness", "reliability", and "security". Basically, for the poll, check which ones you
think are more useful than Windows 2000 on the first poll, which ones are more reliable ....

Alright, I love the new rating system as you can tell how much I've been using it, but there are
a few little things about it do annoy me. I've waited up until now to share it just because I
thought it was in beta or something and was going to be changed, but I think I'll post my
opinions now. First of all I'll talk about having your icon next to your name: People with
names as long as mine, it goes onto the next line, and when you mouse over, it goes back up to the
previous line. It is extremely annoying. And then when I try to click on it to se....
The quickest way to get a password protection system up and running is to use a Prompt box in
JavaScript that has a title like "Enter your Email Address". Only you and the relevant users know
what the password should be, could even be one each, that can be sorted out at the next page then
pass the "input" directly through the url by changing the .href, like
http://www.iSource.net.nz/users/?leTmeIn= The page that then processes this should also check for
the referring page, and three fails from an IP if you like the php (the next page): CODE

RBC (red blood cells) is an important element of blood. There are many antigenic substances present
in the surface of RBC. Depending upon the presence or absence of inherited antigenic substances on
the surface of RBC, blood may be classified in different groups; these groups are called Blood Group
or Blood Type. Other then human, animals and bacteria have cell surface antigens and they have also
blood grouping, but their blood groups are quite different. Human have 29 recognized blood group

tutorial which would show me how to create some kind of notification that would pop up from

About three years ago I decided to learn how to use Linux and after a lot of posts on a forum I
tried Ubuntu Linux as it was recommended as a good first Linux distro. Ubuntu is not the easiest
Linux distro to use but with its unmatched forum community support it is one of the easiest to learn
to use. One of the problems with learning Linux is that a lot of users have an attitude that Linux
should be a free Windows knock off which it is not. Ubuntu is build on a Linix core or kernel and is
a different Open Source and free as in to use operating system. This brings us to t....
Hi, I came across this website www.planmylifestyle.com which offers an innovative login system. In
the traditional login system, a user is asked to enter a username and password besides many other
personal information. In this website, to register the site creates an ID file that the user can
download to the local hard drive. After registration, to login to the website, the user has to
simply upload the registered ID file (browser and select ID file from local hard drive) and click on
the Login Button. The user is then taken to the website which seems to be a searc....

dvd/cd rom drive (the drive icon doesn't show up in My Computer). he told me that the drive
doesn't even open up (meaning he can't put any cd there). i thought he was just joking so i
just shrugged it off. that was until i checked the laptop myself. he was right. the drive is not
detected and the icon doesn't show up in the My Computer window. when i checked the drive, the
drive light was on (just on, not blinking or anything). i tried pushing the open drive ....

According to this article , some 12 million people worldwide actually have tails. These tails (see
images below) are long, hairless extensions of the spine that don't seem to serve any apparent
purpose, as far as has yet been discovered. Whether it's a birth defect, a mutation by chance, a
hidden gene, or some remnant of an evolutionary process is not yet known. Christians have claimed
that this appendage is actually a sign of the Devil and shows that all people will this mark will be
damned forever and have tainted souls. Most people with tails are embarassed b....

Well, I'm from Argentina and I like eating meat alot, but I don't like spice food, or
fattening like Fast food, but well when I'm hungry I'd eat anything, snaks are the worst,
specially if there's cheese around...I like Italian alot I make pizza all the time, in fact last
night I made two and they were pretty good. I like Japanese, because I like fish a lot too, Indian
