Hmmm... just finished setting up CKEditor in a site manager
for specials... just title, description, and image.
Successfully uploaded all content, processed 5 different
image sizes from original, and entered all into database.
When I went to view the new Special on the development site,

For a 'title' you may not want them to be able to format that within a rich
text editor. It would be more consistent to have all the titles be the same
style.

Is this always the case with editors that provide style control?
Since the editor enters its own tags and styles inline (boo),
would this mean that all styling has to come from within the
CKEditor and its styles would override my stylesheets?
You can customize the style list shown to the

Rick,
As a developer who has recently become involved with CMS environments, let me
assure you that the introduction of a CMS by no means indicates that a
developer is no longer required. I actually work full time supporting a number
of web sites that all run from a CF based CMS and recently
Rick,
Allow me to second this excellent comment. CMS is just the next level for
an active content based or content critical website. Both expense and
development tend to go up rather than down or level off.

I've spent about 70% of my time over the last 5 years developing in PHP,
including developing a customized installation of Joomla for a radio station
client that included live streaming and audio archives. I've also rolled a
customized CMS through the PHP framework Kohana. I, for one am happy
Thanks, Jon and everyone for your feedback.
I've look at the various pre-rolled CMS offerings
and have found them to be serious overkill for all my clients.
I've always created my own CMS for each website I created
to insure that clients were comfortable with them. Mostly,
I just provide a

Most full-blown CMS solutions allow the clients to add pages to a site whenever
desired, they simply select the underlying template (that you develop and
provide) for that particular page and go to town creating the content and
adding web parts into the areas that you have defined in
if you just want simple then try Wordpress as I mentioned before, anyone
should be able to use that. the CF equivalent would be mangoblog. Both
these apps are not just for blogs, they allow you to create pages and have
a basic CMS and use plugins.

Thanks, David...
Yes, the live content editors are very attractive. Several
of the CSM's that I reviewed offer that option. It's very appealing.
And it certainly is a balancing-act, trying to provide desired
functionality so they don't look elsewhere, but not giving them so
much control that
Hi, guys...
Just need some recommendations from some of you who have been
down this road before.
I have a client that is asking for what amounts to absolute control
over their site through a CMS. Among a few others they metioned,
Joomla was brought up.
I'm checking them out myself, but wanted
As content management systems go, Joomla is a good one, but it doesn't
replace a programmer for anything other than changing the content on
the site, which is something I usually want to give to the users
anyhow.
Joomla requires installation and security updates, and some degree of
training, I
CFML-based CMS's are also readily available:
Mura: http://www.getmura.com/
ContentBox: http://www.gocontentbox.org/
Xindi: http://www.getxindi.com/
All free and open-source.
They certainly do not replace a developer - instead they compliment you.
They allow you to avoid needing to develop a
another (free) open source CFML CMS for your consideration
Farcry CMS

CMSs do not replace a programmer - they are for managing content.
Most will have a WYSIWYG editor so they can do formatting via a tool bar.
If customisation is required, you will most likely
while the CF CMS solutions are good, esp Mura, they lack the plugins and
themes and support that exists for the likes of Joomla. Mura seems to be
the most popular CMS in CF land these days, but if you get stuck the chance
of getting any help on the mura forums is almost non existent in my
