Lozbo 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2005 I need to know what is the best content management system (free or commercial), for a site that needs lots of modules, general like news, searches, and particulars, like a directory with particular fields and a built in search by field, and things like that, highly customizable and of course standards compliance, multi user and user-privileges restrictive (so not every user can publish or update every other module)...Can somebody help me out with this? I guess i will have better chances with a commercial cms... so if you know about it please... post it! thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rvalkass 5 Report post Posted October 3, 2005 Even if you are willing to pay, I would suggest either PHP-Nuke or Xoops. Both of these have loads of themes, templates and extra modules and addons etc.PHP-Nuke: https://www.phpnuke.org/ or check in cPanelXoops: http://www.xoops.org/ or check in cPanelHope that helps you.

pawitp 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2005 I reccommend PHP-NUKE, I use it for my site, multiple language support(But Using One 1 is better), and big community. I even got PHP-NUKE and it's theme translated into my local language. I don't know much about XOOPS it doesn't seem popular in the country I live in.P.S. : PHP-NUKE IS commercial, you have to pay to get the VERY lastest version Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lozbo 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2005 Thanks im checking out xoops and php nuke, ive heard that the best free cms is mambo (and now joomla), but i was just thinkin that maybe a commercial version would be even better than the free versions, and as i can afford to pay for a license...So thanks and hope people keep posting about other cms...

frony 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2005 definitively xoops is the best cms that exists you I recommend it. it has a great variety of modules that you can use it also adapts other scripts with license gnu so that you use them as modules. also in lapagina xoops.org is very good information and support Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pawitp 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2005 Alot of free CMS can handle a good site. If you really want a site your own style, I one that no one will have. You have to design(or mod) yourself a cms. I once did this and I must say, unless you're a very good programmer since alot made the mistake which made it easy to use sql injection Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spectre 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 If your site is big, then I would recommend either writing your own, or commissioning someone to write one for you. As good as all the CMS' floating around may be, they are generically built to cater for many different types of websites - having one designed especially for your website to do everything that only you require it to do can be very beneficial. That's my two cents worth, anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arboc7 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 I would suggest that you check out http://www.opensourcecms.com/ and http://www.cmsmatrix.org/ to look at a lot of different Content Management Systems. The second site has a great search feature that you can use to narrow down free and paid CMSs that conform to your requirements. The first site is great for all types of open source CMSs.Good Luck with your CMS search!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pawitp 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2005 Having a CMS especially for a site can be beneficial, but there are down side too. If there is a bug, you have to fix it. If there is an exploit you must find and fix it. There will be alot less tester for the CMS you have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shigajet 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2005 Since you'e thinking of building a big site, either xoops or mambo (sp?) are some good CMSs I'd recommend. If it's for a personal site, perhaps go with WordPress or Nucleus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
