Drupal matches all of those criteria except the "easy to learn" one.

ElevatedX ?
Awiz?
Carma?
Joomla?


Anybody who's got experience with any of these or any other CMS - answer the man! :)

Your question is too vague. By miles infact.

You need to include your budget, and what you are looking to do.

1. Pay site? TGP? Adult or mainstream?
2. Your budget?
3. Define your knowledge of CMS's out there. As that will help in "easy" recommendation.

You simply need to narrow the field chief, or go out and piss in the wind. No offense, but it will basically be spinning your wheels otherwise. The more detail, the better people can recommend.

MAS by Mansion Productions or CMS by Envisionext

I must say AWIZ is not the answer unless you really understand Engrish and instructions that only may make sense to someone who really understands code.
However if you want a copy and its transferable I have a copy that I do not need.

Check out Joomla.

:thumbsup

head over to http://www.opensourcecms.com/ and try them out without installing :thumbsup

Always a good tip. :thumbsup

Check out www.ThePaysiteCMS.com

Thank you for the info.

Now, what CMS do you use?

I use a custom script for my celebrity site(s) and SiteDepth ($599-899) for my adult site(s).

sitedepth

good fast and easy to learn plus good support

I use some wordpress, some customized wordpress and several custom script.

another vote for drupal, though it has a bit of a learning curve.

I've had a very good experience with http://www.elevatedx.com/

I've tried a couple of the others mentioned here and don't have anything nice to say about them.

Custom script is always the way to go IMO, and that's what I use.

Stay away from awiz...

I'm trying to learn Joomla. I have Drupal installed on one site, but man it is hard to work with. Seems like those two are industry standard.

I don't see any reason to go with anything but CARMA it's the best...

custom coded, tailored to specific needs - agreed always wins, but i think out of **most** webmasters skill sets and requires upkeep (security/exploits - tweaking) ... but if you got the skills hit up cake framework. If you don't have the skills and someone else builds it custom for you, get ready to form a long relationship with the developer.

otherwise its fair to say -- you can get rather sick with Joomla or Drupal and by just building the custom mods.

Would you be so kind to explain yourself?

I use XTract, which is in the process of being completely rewritten and is in Beta as Calidiapex.

http://www.calidi.com

From what I've seen of the new system, it's a nice improvement...and there will be some nice documentation this time around which should be a big plus. :thumbsup

Joomla could be one of the best. But it always depends on your needs.

the one coded by yourself is the best :)

Awiz is not bad. I am running about 9 sites on it. I am happy with it.

It has got to be the worst written script both in docs and code I have ever in my life worked with.... Support sucks also!

Well, well:)
So the support which answers to the day to the all customers needs already during 6 years, teach the clients what is HTML, makes reworkings free of charge in many cases, works at holidays and weekends - is bad... No comments:)

Would you be so kind to proclaim your aWIZ licensed domain? It will help to make situation clear, since for now your profile data (email, icq, name) says us nothing, we never had a customer with these data.

to att of dear readers.
We really wouldn't like to offend anyone here..., but for some reasons the most of the real aWIZ customers seems to haven't time to smear a snot on the boards and to have a thousands of posts, as some other "knights of pen" here.:) Although we hope it doesn't make their opinions less considerable. So if you wish to know what they says about aWIZ, you always can check it here:
http://awiz.org/testimonials/

Also, you can test the real fastness and quality of support yourself at any time, just by contacting us directly.

Anyone who speaks proper English/American can read your replies here and understand the frustration alot of us have with you.

It looks like you wrote something in your native language and then ran it through a translator program. The entire manual and all replies from support personnel are also written in the same horrible English which makes it impossible for us to understand.

Which is why we threw your script out and moved on to something else.

You "may" have a good product, but until you hire people who write English well to develop a manual and answer your support replies, you will continue to get shit on the boards over your product. :2 cents:

Not real helpful (not your fault!) - since there's nothing there yet but a "coming in May" and a beta login. Is there a URL for the old system, to see what the thing generally looks like?

:thumbsup

The old system is nothing compared to the new one :winkwink:
Use the contact form at http://support.calidi.com to open a ticket and i will send you a login to test the next beta version.

nata25 it looks like Snake Doctor gave some valid advice.

Elevated X is a really amazing cms that you should definitely check out before
making your decision.

They all have issues.

Try them all, and pick which one you dislike the least.

Snake Doctor: LOL. For this price you should be happy that don't have to translate it yourself "through a translator program"! :) Joke.

OK, maybe you are right, but:
1) the 6 years practice says that in a whole English is at enough level since we understand each other with a customers.
2) maybe for the cheap price they paid some people prefers to get a fast and stable support during a years, than to get a silence in perfect English...

But if for someone the only does matter "ENGLISH, MOTHERFUCKER!" - sure he have to choose 5-30 times more expensive solutions with the same functionality:) Support guys are developers before than linguists.

As to the Manual. It looks strange that the most problems feels some unknown for us board's writers, whereas the customers complains to us about it not more than 5 from 1000. Well, doesn't matter. In a few weeks will be finished a 6th version, and also will be made a new Manual, much simpler and more correct.:winkwink:

I use Joomla for my mainstrean sites.

Each criterion is usually mutually exclusive to the other it seems for adult CMS products.

surprising there is no consensus on ANY of the CMS software out there
if this was a poll, seems it'd be about like the Democractic party Presedential race before the primaries.

My vote is for elevated-x. Easy to use, great support. If a pornstar can use it, anyone can. :1orglaugh I think they should use that as their slogan. :thumbsup

Add scalability and stability to that list and www.elevatedx.com has them.

I have no idea what you're trying to say most of the time, but you are adorable.
