you can use either SMTP or PHP Mailer.
Theming Template is a lot more better than most.
Easy to manage and install.
You can integrate other scripts like Gallery2 from Menalto with ease.

I got out of the use of CMSes a while ago and have started coding my sites entirely on my own. However before I did this I used PHP-Nuke, Post-Nuke and MD-Pro.

PHP-Nuke
Not many pro's here but a large amount of con's

Post-Nuke
This fixed alot of the problems with PHP-Nuke

MD-Pro
This was the best I have used.
Pros

and there are hardly any cons.

So based on all this if i had to choose I would choose MD-Pro because i just loved using it. It was extremely user friendly, and fast.

Hello!
I'm interested to use a content management system, but I didn't decide for one of them... however, I think that PostNuke is good enough....
I'd like much enough Drupal too...
I'll probably use one of them... I'll say to you about this later...
Good bye!!!

freakitude

I like php nuke. I got everything.

Your own. By far. Out of the common ones, Mambo.
Favorite forum: http://ekinboard.com. I use this board now and it is awesome!

Hello all!!!
I'd be very curious if there is here a blind user tho be tried a content management system and that of them looks more accessible for this category of users...
I tried "WordPress" and another some, but I didn't find something very accessible...
I'd like very much "Php-Nuke" or "PostNuke", but these looks very difficult to manage...
Thank you for your information and I wish you all a good afternoon!!!

If you have the skills to create your own then it is by far the better option, I make my own because for some sites I was limited CMS capabilities and others I want alot more. Integrating with PHPBB is the only frustrating thing I come across because their login is different to mine.

I've only had experiece with two content management systems: PostNuke and Mambo. Out of the two, I'd have to say that PostNuke is my favorite. It's much easier to manage than Mambo, and I only have to login once. (IIRC, I had to login to my regular account, and them login to my admin account on Mambo.) I also like the easy integration of phpBB into PostNuke (PNphpBB). PostNuke was also very cutomizable.

desertwind

Initially it was xoops for me. Later on i moved to Mambo, and in turn Joomla.

For the time being, I believe Joomla is the best CMS available. Extremely customizable, many themes, mods, better integration with amny other services, nice backend. The only minus i found is that it's a little bit heavy.

The ones i've been using for the past years are mambo and xoop,most xoops. It's easy to configure, has nice templates and much more Smile

u even can integrate 4images gallery ( the best one) and smf forum (the best) all together Smile

Know i just found an cms that is in the beggining and seems to be very good and light Smile

I've tried some like php-nuke, post-nuke, wordpress, maboo etc. This time I use drupal for my site. I find it is very nice. It use a very simple structure to manage all type of documents. It has lots of modules, themes and still grow up fast now.

You may download it from http://www.drupal.org. The site itself use drupal.

PHP-Fusion is very good CMS for you web site. It has very much good functions, and it's very easy and stable.

riv

A little known one called TextPattern is for me. I like it since it is flexable, fast, easy to maintain once you've set it up, simple, and extendable using plug-ins. It also has a steady base of resources and users. It may be a bit brutal to learn, with pages, styles, forms, articles, its own syntax, and what-not, but it is the best thing since the internet when it's nice and set up.

I prefer to make my own - I love the feeling of accomplishment, and it feels cool to be like "wow, I made this all by myself!".

Plus, you can construct really simple ones using PHP and text files.

I just started working with a CMS and I use PHPNuke. I like working with this CMS becauses I think it's easy to handle and you can also make websites with many features in a few steps. I haven't tried other CMS yet but I think PHPNuke isn't that bad as a lot of people say.

Joomla is very easy for administration.
Joomla have very mods/hack.

Joomla is the best cms Very Happy

uslhoops

Are there Free CMS on the net that is really good?

Soulfire

I tried Joomla and I was not at all impressed. There weren't many themes, administration was easy but more complicated than it needs to be, and they put so many advertisements on your website that its not even worth it.

The best experience I've had so far is with PHP-Nuke and MkPortal.

last time I'm using Joomla, it's easy to use, and friendly user. Many theme to choose and I love it. But right now I'm using php-fusion, more faster than joomla. I dont know why my host loading so slow when I'm using Joomla.

meto

I use Joomla! Favorite cms is PHP-Nuke

Hughesy

Ive used joomla and PHPNuke

And Joomla is the best one for the reasons everyone has stated as I don't admit to being a webby expert but I thought joomla was pretty easy to configure

{name here}

I've used many CMSes, and I used to like them until I realized it was just a cheap shortcut, and not as easy to make a nice unique custom look as making a PHP page in dreamweaver. Nowadays I just put in some news with a MySQL database using PHPmyadmin. bIt's all I really need for my site to be a-go-in.

budazz

cutenews is my favorite because it is textdatabase fully customizable.. free

Caroli

nondormo

I have used the following...

joomla
blog cms
geeklog
runcms

Right now I am employing Drupal and I think I might stick to it for a while. For one thing, it is easy to handle. The distro is not too big and it is easy to install.

KMKM

I am yet to try it but see this www.etomite.org
Has anyone used it yet?

To branch this topic off a little, those people that are saying they currently use their favorite CMS........would you mind posting your site link so that when we'r e reading your comments we can view your site to see it's capability?

Hello everybody, I am a new user. I would like to use Mambo to build my webpage, I heard it is good enough. So to the question: I use Mambo.

loosu

mY Vote goes to WORDPRESS ,

And i say , dont quarell , it being a Blog Engine , it can do as anything and it does great as a CMS .

The thing is with choosing the right plugins .

The lot of Themes it has , along with the right plugins , and lite themes can get u the best sites online , with chick interface and Flexibility with efficiency .

I am using CMS Made Simple for my projects. It was a little bit searching before, but know I fell I found.

+ VERY easy styling of pages, using smarty templates.
+ friendly comunity in forum.
+ many interesting modules
+ automatic generation of menu

anfboy

my favorite content management system is e107 because it is easy to use and it loads fast when i use it.

Sava

bitweaver is very complex but easy to use and the best looking cms available now. I prefere Joomla, Jupiter Content Manager and SBlog for blogging.

Drastic

One of the great things about Fantastico is that you can try out all these amazing CMS's with just a few clicks - I'd never have experimented if I'd had to work out how to install them myself in the beginning. But when you begin to try things out you find most things are simpler than you'd have imagined...

I began with PHPNuke but found it surprisingly hard to get the look I wanted and the font size seemed way too small (now I'd probably be able to change it). Though there seem to be some interesting add-on features ("club" component). phpWCMS seemed fairly limited. PostNuke seemed a bit clinical and no gripping templates - several of the support sites seemed to have clossed down.

I got quite involved with Drupal ( no longer available via Fantastico...?) which seemed to do what I needed in a relatively simple way, but I preferred the style of Mambo. Unfortunately I had lots of technical problems with Mambo and the support forums seemed under-populated and not hugely supportive. But via those forums I discovered Joomla a couple of months ago - and haven't looked back.

Out of the CMSs I've tried Joomla is certainly the most sophisticated, has a wide range of really good templates - especially the Rocket Themes ones, lots of additional components and plug-ins and a really active community who respond promptly to questions. the iJoomla magazine component makes it much easier to change the look of pages, and is about to get much better. Joomla seems to have a buzz about it which is energising. Also it seems to work really well for SEO even without metatags.

My site(s) aren't quite finished but I will post urls when they are.

Even my 8 yr old son is setting up a Joomla site on his passion for dinosaurs - which demonstrates how easy it is to use!

the best free cms is joomla
the best paid cms is datelife engine

farhad0

Hello,
I think that each CMS has a good points and of course his bad ones! It also depends on what kind and content of website we are going to build.

Personnaly, i use Xoops, PhpNuke and Joomla recently, but for the easy one, Xoops gets my vote.

Regards,

myzul

Right now im using joomla+moodle, its for school
Moodle is for e-learning.
