The company I work for is currently using Contribute. I hate it. I’m looking for a full fledged CMS system that is easy to use and not too bulky (ie Joomla) Any help is much appreciated.

Go to opensourcecms.com where you can try out all the available CMSes out there.

I tried PostNuke and Joomla. I am evaluating some of the others. It really bears some thinking. If you want to integrate with other tools like forums etc, you have to make sure the cms you plan to use can do that. Also, pay attention to those that have adequate numbers of developers and templates out there.

DragonnFly is nice, but doesn’t have many templates.

I have a requirement for a J2EE developer with CMS…what different types of cms could the client be looking for?

One that allows them absolute control over the website, pages, options, blog, formatting, styles… etc.

I’m looking for a content management system similar to Fark’s or Reddits. It will have to be simple and collaborative. Any ideas?

I want to make a website where users can submit there own articles/opinions on one subject but I don’t know how to go about it. Is there a CMS that would help?

We’re creating a portal to enable members of developing communities (around the world) to exchange documents and interact with each other. Any suggestions on which CMS tool to use would be appreciated!

The different possibilities range from expensive to free depending on your feature needs and wants, size of your community, and hosting options. Here’s a few good ones.

Leverage Software
http://www.leveragesoftware.com
starts at $300/month with a comprehensive feature list.

webNetwork, about $200 for the software.
http://www.webscribble.com
Host on your own system or ISP.
For extra $, host on webscribble systems.

ONEsite
http://www.onesite.com/products.html
offers several levels of communities, including a basic free community.

For a small business, ideally a free CMS. I would need e-commerce and gallery functions…

Thanks for any help!

Unfortunately, people tend to scream Joomla the moment someone mentions a CMS.. this is a bad response. Joomla is simply not a very good option for most people. If you want to find a good option, check out http://cmscritic.com.

There are tons of them with explanations as well as reviews. If you can’t find one there.. then it doesn’t exist.

I’m looking for an easy to use client side content management system. It must be able to integrate with a client side database for generating web-page content and then uploading to the webserver using FTP. Thanks for any advice.

You can set up Apache on your computer. This will require an installation if you use Windoze, Macs come with Apache already installed.

Read the instructions on how to configure the database connection.

Then you can use any web editing software to generate and test the content before uploading.

The ability to instantly and easily update content is essential for happy website ownership and effectiveness. That’s why Newfangled gives each client a free and unlimited user license to our CMS.

I’m looking for a script that will better help me manage the graphics website I am building. I want it to make it easier to update, add pages, have everything organized, maybe with some sort of tagging/category system. The type of site I am building is a myspace resource site… you know, like Aerocharm, iRockstarz, Whaterverlife, etc… I want something that will better help me manage my content. Something simple and not overly complex please, thanks.

Joomla is the top rated CMS available on the market.

I would suggest using Joomla for any CMS needs.

Hey hey.

I’ve just mastered making a php blog using dreamweaver, and now I want to make a content management system…I suppose the only real difference is that with the blog, postings can’t be removed or modified…

Does anyone know where I would be able to find a tutorial? Would much prefer a dreaweaver based one because I’m on a deadline and need it doing asap (and dreamweaver’s useful for that)
I don’t want something complex. Just a case of updating content, being able to delete or modify.

Zahir is right… writing a CMS yourself is like trying to build a car from iron ore you found in your backyard.

Given your question edit, I think you are not looking for a full-fletched CMS. I suspect that what you actually only want to do is being able to have a web interface which will allow to edit and delete the blog posts etc you make.

Nevertheless, writing this from scratch is quite an undertaking, with or without dreamweaver. You would not only need to understand PHP quite well, but also have a fair deal of knowledge of MySQL or any other database you use to store your data in.

What I would really recommend is that you download and familiarize yourself with an existing open-source PHP-based CMS and adapt that to your own needs. This still requires quite a steep learning curve if you want to modify a lot, but it is likely to be much simpler, less time-consuming and more secure than doing it ALL by yourself.

A good open-source PHP-based CMS with an excellent users community which will be happy to include you is Xoops. (http://www.xoops.org)

A more blog-focused open-source and still PHP-based is WordPress, which you probaly have heard of. (http://www.wordpress.org, not to be confused with www.wordpress.com, which is ready-made hosting).

Good luck!
