Y'know, I can sort of understand people mis-hearing "Mark" as "Mike" on 
the phone or in a meeting (I get that a lot), but how do you mis-read 
"mark" as "Michael"?!?


Oh, well...

Re: [WSG] Standards compliant CMS?

2008-03-13 Thread Kurt Lovelace
Some excellent OpenSource CMS systems that I have had the pleasure of  
working with for real production work in various client environments  
include:


1. Joomla
2. XOOPS
3. WordPress
4. PhpNuke
5. PostNuke
6. TextPattern

Joomla is currently my favorite for clients with broad needs -- say,  
bbs, doc management systems, stock quotes, scheduling apps, booking  
apps, et cetera -- or very industry specific needs such as an auto  
sales site joomla has it pretty much as there are over 2,700 different  
modules that easily plug-in to the base framework to do anything.


Also, most if not all of these CMSes are "skinable" with the option of  
even allowing users to select their own custom skins in their log-in  
profiles.


For a simple yet elegant blog site, WordPress is a good match.

All of these are mature projects and each is worth gaining some  
knowledge of if just to know how very sophisticated these frameworks  
have become and how useful.


Most frontends in these projects may be modified with just acgiod  
grasp of CSS while others require some good coding experience.


As always, YMMV.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your suggestion, MySource Matrix is already on our list of
solutions to evaluate. I didn't know Squiz has an office in Melbourne
though! Along with solid community support we're also looking for a

certainly fits the bill.

Hi WSGers,

We're currently looking to move all of our websites to a single
Content Management System. As part of the CMS evaluation process  
we're

interested in finding out what's currently in use out there.


So my question is three fold:

1) What CMS system do you use to manage multiple websites?
2) How well has your CMS held up to expectations? Does it handle

scaling, was it easy to learn, what were the drawbacks (if any)?

3) Does your CMS solution get in the way of producing elegant,
standards compliant websites? Is there special considerations for  
standards

and accessibility built into your CMS?


There's lots of solutions out there, but unfortunately for many  
it's

not a simple apples-to-apples comparison.


Cheers,
Sarah

Hi Adam,

We've tried developing in-house ourselves but we've found the solutions we
have in place has become difficult to maintain. With a pre-existing CMS and
a solid community behind it we won't have to build upgrades ourselves, we
simply need to install them.

I've heard lots of good things about Zend framework though. Unfortunately we
haven't found any CMS system which fits the above criteria that uses it.

Cheers,
Sarah

Re: [WSG] Standards compliant CMS?

2008-03-12 Thread Adam Martin
I have developed my own cms system - it does not limit designs at all - let
your designer go wild. It is very easy to use for the end user. 100%
standards compliant (unless the person that creates the sites templates does
not know what they are doing). I found the problem with most solutions is
that they are bloatware - ie way to many features with no real benefits. The
way my system works is that I can easily plugin modules as my clients need
them - ie. Ecommerce system, blog, forum etc. I can create basic apps in a
matter of a few hours.

It is written with PHP5 (utilising zend framework).

I think that for me the investment in time building an inhouse solution has
been really worth it.

[WSG] Standards compliant CMS?

2008-03-12 Thread Sarah Simmonds
Hi WSGers,

We're currently looking to move all of our websites to a single Content
Management System. As part of the CMS evaluation process we're interested in
finding out what's currently in use out there.

So my question is three fold:

1) What CMS system do you use to manage multiple websites?
2) How well has your CMS held up to expectations? Does it handle scaling,
was it easy to learn, what were the drawbacks (if any)?
3) Does your CMS solution get in the way of producing elegant, standards
compliant websites? Is there special considerations for standards and
accessibility built into your CMS?

There's lots of solutions out there, but unfortunately for many it's not a
simple apples-to-apples comparison.

Cheers,
Sarah
