Need Help [E107 or Joomla]?

 


GDG
Hey everyone,

Ok so I finally came here to ask you guys for your opinion because I have been switching on what CMS to use. So my main two CMS that I would like to chose between are e107 and Joomla. Now here the specifications that I would like:

- Easy to use
- Easy to code plug-ins
- Easy to create themes/templates
- Content can be easily organized, based on categories and sub-categories.
- Easy to install plug-ins
- Control over user groups, and their permissions [If possible]

Ok so I hope that gives you a picture of what CMS would be right for my site. but here is a little bio of what my site is going to be all about. I want to create a WEB 2.0 experience where the users will be able to upload almost any type of media [mostly pics and videos] and comment on them, rate them, etc... Now I want to be able to make plug-ins for such a site since I have certain ideas of what should be added to the site. So I need a CMS where plug-in managers and creating plug-ins for it is very simple.

So which CMS based on this info do you recommend?

P.S.

Just a quick question, Is it possible given time and knowledge of PHP to change the look of the e107 back end admin area? Like add bigger buttons and all and rearrange items into groups, etc...? [Not part of the decision making process up there!]

I haven't worked in e107 (only my freinds opinion). I thu=ink that joomla is a bit better. at leaST EASIER TO work with, it is new and fast developing. I prefer to work in joomla

Joomla is nice and all and I have used it for a little bit but what worries me though is that I think I might have to use a lot of their already made extensions rather than making my own. As Joomla only supports PHP which in my opinion is ridiculous. Also I am not very fond of how their plug-in manager system is divided into three different parts, components, modules, mambots.

Although I have been getting thoughts on taking maybe one of them most probably e107 and trying to recode it (not totally but most of the admin area stuff) although leaving the basic e107 core in their. this way I could suit my needs, as in make a nice looking admin system that looks like Joomla's back end admin area yet easily configurable like e107.

Anyone else have any thoughts on what to choose. I have seen this one site where the admin made his own plug-in called PMP browser. Pretty need in a way that it truly shows the power of e107 and I would have never guessed that it was e107! If you ask me, it all depends on the person using the CMS, if you can change it than I think you could use any CMS to any capacity! My point of view!
