what's a good CMS script thats free? - GoFuckYourself.com

bbc3826 · 10-10-2006, 02:33 PM

I'm looking for a content management script that's free. Doesn't need to have a ton of features. Just simple and good.

Any recommendations would be highly appreciated

TheSwed · 10-10-2006, 02:37 PM

I dont know if it's good ..but it's free

http://pxsystem.sourceforge.net/index.html

bbc3826 · 10-10-2006, 02:37 PM

psili · 10-10-2006, 02:39 PM

No real issues to speak of. They are going to be releasing the new v1.5 sometime soon, but 1.0.11 is the latest stable one, and probably will be the one to go for, even when 1.5 gets released, at least for a few months afterwards anyhow, until they work out all the kinks.

Download this one: rel4424 1.0.11

joomla , xoops , typo3 are used by big corporations on thousands of sites and they're WAY better than some expensive so called "cms" scripts

stephthegeek · 10-10-2006, 10:12 PM

I have used three full-featured open source CMSes on quite a few sites: PHP Nuke, Joomla, and Drupal.

Avoid PHP Nuke like the plague. It was my first experience with a CMS and a good learning experience, but it's basically run by teenage gamers.

Drupal is great. Very grassroots and easy to get under the hood. Extremely powerful themeing system. Lots of GPL'd modules and bridges with other software.

Joomla is also great. Slicker than Drupal, but can be a little more confusing... but you'll be able to do more without having to touch code. More commercial (as in not free) components than Drupal though, especially for the more complex ones. Way more templates available.

Another vote for joomla here. I've made a few sites for clients with it and they all love it.

gooddomains · 10-11-2006, 12:23 AM

gooddomains · 10-11-2006, 12:23 AM

or was it vice versa ?

lyn1 · 10-11-2006, 12:42 AM

I have at least 6 joomla sites and once you get your head around it, it is very easy to work with.

It can be as lightweight as you like or as large as you like. The amount of extensions...mostly free are awesome.

But, Joomla beats the rest for quantity and quality of extensions/plugins

quantum-x · 10-13-2006, 02:53 AM

Mambo and joomla are essentially the same, the dev. forked a little while ago, but it seems joomla got most of the developers.
They're ok, but the problem is - the bigger you go, the more limited to their way of doing things you are.

I run a few mambo and joomla installs. They're ok - but they really give me the heebie jeebies

They are not essentially the same - Joomla is simply what Mambo it's called now.

What gives you the heebie jeebies about it?

DraX · 10-13-2006, 03:43 AM

the only cms you need to know is joomla

it can be as small and as big as you like

justsexxx · 10-13-2006, 04:11 AM

But are these cms systems not more for txt based sites with a few pics here and there... I mean they are not exactly pic/movie cms systems right?

You're wrong.
Joomla is fork from mambo.

Quote:

Joomla! came into being as the result of a fork of Mambo between Miro Corporation of Australia, the trademark holder of the Mambo name at that time, and the bulk of the core developers. The two groups parted ways on August 17, 2005.

Not at all - there are some great pic and movie extensions. Even streaming movies. Have a look at XE Media's extensions, they are just NICE!

Xe-Gallery for photos

Xe-VideoGalV1 for videos

and they have one for streams and music

stephthegeek · 10-13-2006, 10:45 AM

Extensions and bridges will greatly increase what you can do with the CMSes. I use Drupal with a Gallery 2 bridge on my personal site for media.

borked · 10-13-2006, 12:52 PM

I am a Drupal and Joomla user - my personal preference is Drupal, but it's not the same kettle of fish. Each has their own powers:

Joomla has a good extensions base, and has great point-and-click ease
Drupal, simply because it doesn't have all the bells-and-whistles, has an API that is much less complicated, so making it into a unique, fully-featured CMS is much much easier.

I use Joomla when I just want to get a site up and content loaded. 5 use Drupal, when a site is worth developing and unleashing its full potential.

If you're not happy getting into the code, then Joomla is for you. If you want to expand and customise a site the way you want, then it's got to be Drupal.

Either way, both have stupid names.

Can I ask, what do you get out of Gallery2 bridge, that you don't get out of the Image/Folksonomy/Album module setup??

I'm currently developing a gallery site, and I can't see what I would gain by going the mammoth Gallery2 route... plus skinning it is a nightmare.

It is a nightmare, I agree. But I'm a perfectionist. There are a few things in particular that draw me to Gallery:
- I had a custom module developed (will be releasing to the public once I clean it up a little more) to do automatic webcam archiving
- Bells and whistles such as slideshows, configurable permissions, ratings, commenting, automatic watermarking, multiple ways to add images (including my mobile gallery posted right from my PocketPC)
- It also deals well with additional media formats... automatically thumbnails my videos, ID3 tags audio files, etc.
- You can use the shopping cart as an automatic zip file creator... visitors can add any photos/albums to their "cart" and then download the whole thing as a zip file

Basically I've just grown to appreciate the power and flexibility. I can do things like temporarily hide something, allow guests to only view small versions of images, complex sorting, and generally have very fine control over the media.

Gallery 2.2 is going to have flickr-style tagging support and it's expected that taxonomy tagging of Gallery items will be enabled shortly thereafter for Drupal.

Hunter_ST · 10-13-2006, 07:10 PM

They have SEO optimized plugins for joomla -- you need to know how to use .htaccess but I used it on a recent joomla site I built and the SEO friendly URLs it creates dynamically are great.

If you haven't used it before, joomla can be a bitch to comprehend.

But once you have it down, it makes turning sites out pretty darn easy.
