I think I'll do a Drupal and Joomla deployment and give them both a second look
Thx everyone for the help!

For instance you should create Categories and Sections for your content and if you want to create separate "child" sites under the parent site you can look at the multisite component. There are also components for AD integration and single sign-on. I can also tell you that you may not be satisfied with the canned templates that come with it so you may have to venture out to locate a template that fits your environment. From there you'll need to customize it via the CSS stylesheet. This can become an issue if you're not creative or familiar with editing style sheets. For reading material there are a host of sites supporting Joomla so you shouldn't have a problem googling for help on a particular issue. hth gl marvC On Thu, Oct 9, 2008 at 11:15 AM, Garcia-Moran, Carlos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Sorry I misspoke, the setup was cake indeed to get it up and running, but how did you find it for configuring after the fact?, loading docs, creating pages, layouts etc... that's the part that I couldn't get working easily, perhaps I need to give it another try, did you read up on any good places that helped you?

You only have to set like 6 values to get joomla running. Up and going in less than 5 minutes. Regards, Michael B.

Would I worry if it was only accessible inside I liked what Joomla is / has , but it was kinda dauting at first to setup, I got it all up and running, but the config seemed to be complex.

I know that they can happen with any framework; but right now - I'm pissed off at Joomla. Regards, Michael B.

I started playing with Drupal, and I really like it. I'd love to know what some of the major differences, drawbacks, etc. are between the two. ________________________________ From: MarvinC [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2008 10:08 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: IT Portal / Wiki Suggestion _________________________________________________________ This e-mail, including attachments, contains information that is confidential and may be protected by attorney/client or other privileges.
