http://www.midgard-project.org/ Midgard looked good but I couldn't get the admin to work right, and it requires php-4.2.2 or lower (which drove me a little nuts at first). It's optimized for php as it's functions are written in C and become built in php functions with --with-midgard, plus it has a mod_midgard to link into apache. Midgard allows lots of customization and you could place php code just about anywhere. Runs on *nix only and requires access to add modules to php and apache. http://www.tikiwiki.org/ TikiWiki had lots of cool features. It looked to me to be more suitable for a community CMS (baseball team etc) rather than a general CMS. All php. http://www.geeklog.net/ There's also GeekLog, with a similar community slant as TikiWiki, and it was reviewed in last months php-architect magazine. All php. http://www.typo3.org I agree with what Nick Tabbet said. Of these 4 CMSs, this one has the most refined user interface, and most general purpose features. It's written in all object oriented php and will easily install on an ISP hosted system. Quick setup 1-2-3, and your ready to go. It does have a long learning curve, but anything complex does. Since it's all OO, has it's own TypoScript code to design content and big, it will really benefit if run with a php accelerator to cache the intermediate code. Has good tutorial for getting started, and another good intro to it's templates. It's more for small to mid-sized sites, as anything larger should be written in native C, C++, etc. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
