Anyone using CMS here? I'm working with non-profit organizations that don't want to spend much (meaning not much of my time will be spent setting it up) and they want volunteers to maintain the site. Volunteers without skills and/or expensive software are easier to find. I've tried various programs (I'd be happy to name them and point to sites that use them) and would like to know what you all have tried and what the plusses and minuses might be. There are new ones all the time. Anyone use Drag & Drop? I'm also looking for CMS templates if you know of sources besides what their developers provide. I appreciate whatever information you might have.

Hey all, I'm looking for some kind of PHP-based image archiving software.

I need to be able to upload images to it, and assign keywords or other kinds of data to each picture.

Has anyone here worked with any such application. Open source, or otherwise?

Thanks!

Edit: Specifically, I need to be able to create arbitrary fields that describe each picture. Most CMS and photo gallery systems only allow you to assign a name, description, and keywords to a photo. I would like to be able to add things such as category, sub category, dominant color, to each image.

I am writing this from Opera Mini beta 4, and so far so good! There are a few things that can be worked on, I would love to see the feeds on here (and podcasting would be a dream) but the load time and render time are both faster, as well as the virtual mouse and zoomout providing a better overall web experience.

Already, with version 3, I could do eBay, my banking, and administer my cms, but now it seems to do even better. It seems to render margins in webpages now, and has visual effects on a BB, but no skinning on the beta makes my eyes hurt from too much light! I am glad that I can have my 3.1.7 (don't ask me how I got that version when only 3.1.2 is available for dl, even I am not sure...) alongside the beta 4, so no real loss having it, and I can get the best of both. For any wondering if they should try the beta, I say go for it:

For the beta:
http://mini.opera.com/beta

For the stable:
http://mini.opera.com/

Go to it on your phone, nextels need a data cable to grab it, if you have a tmo unlimited data, especially with a blackberry, it is invaluable. As for tech savvyness, what can be better than a real browser on your phone?

Of course, it cannot be used with verizon last I looked, but who would want to?

And last, to mention the price: free as in beer, from the fine people wo brought you Opera Browser!

I need to choose a CMS and roll out a website fairly fast. I've never used a CMS before and I don't have time to test several of them, please help me to choose. I've narrowed the field to Drupal, Joomla and ModX, but let me know if I've overlooked anything good. I don't mind coding but won't have a lot of time for this, so the more I can have out of the box, the better.

What I need:
This is a site for a professional organization with paid membership. This site will be edited by volunteers who don't know anything about web development, so I need to create a separate minimalistic back-end for them, that doesn't show any admin functions.
I'll need a calendar, user registration with custom form (and SSL), some members-only pages, forum, possibility of user rating/comments on resources, possibly shopping cart. Also some kind of bookmark app, so users can see a list of their favorite site resources when they log in. I'll also need to provide a chance for state-level organization to have their sub-sites with their own navigation and graphics, but using our templates.
As all this is probably hard to find in one package, I'll need above all flexibility and to be able to integrate easily with other PHP scripts.

Please help, I have to make a decision in the next few days. Thanks!

I know some of you are fabulous bloggers.  Have any of you found blogging software that allows threads (ie instead of just comments to the original post, they can or I can respond to them directly)?  What about blogging software that automatically updates the blog, like for example, a mirror like if I post in livejournal for example, the post would also automatically be made in a seperate blog outside of livejournal.  Frankly, I wanted to use livejournal for my blog, but they don't allow non-members to comment except anonymously and I don't want my friends outside of livejournal to have to make anonymous comments. 

This is what I've got so far!

That's using http://www.nucleuscms.org

I'm not married to it.  If there is anything better, I wanna know!

Hi all,

I have checked time and time again on the 1and1.com website to see which CMS they support, but their website isn't much help, or perhaps I am looking in the wrong direction.

I was wondering if anyone here has uploaded a CMS (Content Management System) to their 1and1.com domain and I was wondering how you went about doing this? We prefer a CMS in which users could easily add new pages/delete pages, add new content and with which we could upload our own files - since we will be handing them the site after we've built it, and since they cannot afford to hire someone to maintain all the coding.

We thought about using the WebBuilder feature, but that only limits our website to 8 pages and wouldn't allow us to upload our own content.

Our webhosting includes Linux, with PHP and MySQL support - if this means anything to anyone.


Thanks,

A couple of years ago, I used this code to build a rich text editor for an inhouse CMS at work. One of the smaller bugs that I've never bothered to deal with until now was that whenever you used the editor in a Firefox/Mozilla browser, the page never stopped loading. I've been Googling and working on it today, with no success.

Has anyone else ever had this problem? If so, what did you do to fix it?

Hope this is ok to post here.

I'm working on a site that is based around the Xoops CMS... and I've never used that particular CMS before and would rather just write the site from scratch but the contract I'm working on already has it started with this.

So does anyone have any familiarity with Xoops? Suggestions on where to look for tips on how to handle the Modules for it? Documentation (maybe I'm missing it but it doesn't seem to be kept up much at all on the pages for most of the Modules, and most aren't even rated and are dated 2005....).

So any suggestions?

Hopefully?

Thanks.

First off, I'll state that I'm working with C# 2008 express edition, SQL Server 2008 Professional edition, and .NET 3.5.

Second, I'll state that one of the ideas behind this project is to do it without .Net's auto-binding. If it can't be done without auto-binding, it's not going to get done at all, for reasons having to do with extreme customization of the data access code that will be happening way, way down the line. So I need an answer in code, not in designer. Thanks.

Okay, what I'm doing seems to me to be simple and obvious, but either .Net doesn't agree with me or I'm looking in the wrong place. I have a simple form. It contains a datagridview and three buttons. One button works perfectly--it's the one that closes the form, and we don't need to discuss it here. The other two buttons, however, are giving me fits. They are labelled "save changes" and "cancel".

The datagridview is bound to a DataTable. This is pretty standard code, I think:

SqlConnection cnErasmus = new SqlConnection();
            //populate the datatable with the data already in the table.
            tblAuthorType = PopulateDataSet(cnErasmus);
            //Attach DataTable to datagrid.
            dgvAuthorType.DataSource = tblAuthorType;

        private DataTable PopulateDataSet(SqlConnection cnErasmus)
        {
            string strAuthorTypeSelectQuery = "SELECT AuthType FROM AuthorType";
            using (cnErasmus)
            {
                using (SqlCommand cmSelectCommand = new SqlCommand(strAuthorTypeSelectQuery, cnErasmus))
                {
                    CreateConnectionString(cnErasmus);
                    OpenConnection(cnErasmus);

                    {
                        tblAuthorType.Load(theReader);
                        CloseConnection(cnErasmus);
                    }
                }
            }

/******************SqlTransaction trnchangeAuthorTypeData = 
       cnErasmus.BeginTransaction("Changes");
            //Must assign both transaction object and connection

            cmTransactionCommand.Transaction = trnchangeAuthorTypeData;

Hello!

I've created a CMS which deals primarily in links.

When someone adds a link, I also compare it to other links to see if there's a match.

Here lies my query:

How do I make it so every link that gets passed is "cleaned"?

By clean, I mean something like: http://google.co.uk/ (i.e. URL normalisation-ish)

I'm just looking to ensure that all URLs submitted follow the same "pattern," so if someone omits a www and one doesn't, then I don't get any duplicate records.

I've tried, at the moment, a str_replace on www. and converting the link to lowercase, but I'm not sure it's entirely "functionable." If someone has www in the page name, for example...

Much help would be appreciated, thank you!

Hi,

I am adding a search engine to a CMS I built.  I want the results to come out like on google or wikipedia, with the relevant parts of the page highlighted.

I know this has been written and implemented so many times,
but on a preliminary search I realised I must be bad at finding shared code.

Can any one suggest a quick way to find shared code?
