Which Open Source CMS you are using out of Joomla, eZ Publish and typo3 What do you think? which one is better and how? What are the advantages and disadvantages of these 3? Thanks Dizyn
C'mon, there's so much better quality software than Joomla... Typo3 is very good, actually the best, but you have to consider a long time getting confortable with. They talk about at least a month to understand the basics. If you don't plan to have a very big homepage, sort of enterprise thing, Typo3 is in my opinion to heavy. I am using MODx, it's pretty new but very good. One of the first AJAX CMSs. Very flexible and stable, a good API. I don't know about ezPublish, but you can also try out Drupal.
Joomla (my relationship is love/hate with it) Drupal (SEO kind of sucks) sNews (one of the best, very lightweight) Wordpress (not really a CMS)
Joomla has it's advantages because it is popular. It is very easy to get help, and very easy to get plug-ins that do what you want. It's like mp3 players. Yeah, there's much better than the I-pod, but, for now, there are so many hacks for it, it makes it more powerful.
I used to have Joomla, now I switched to phpwcms. Its much more easier to navigate and manage, in terms of time.
I am looking into CMS for the first time...Which of the ones mentioned above handles SEO the best. Sounds like Joomla is the most popular, but for my application, SEO is huge... Starting a site that I don't want to have to migrate on...any help is appreciated. Best; Eric
maybe you should put voting. it might be interested to see which cms would be most popular here. typo3 is maybe the best but it is 80MB and very complicated. i didn't even try to learn it... joomla is popular and there is a big community behind joomla/mambo. the question man should ask is 'do i need such a big machine of 3 or more MB, just to display 25 or 30 pages?'. wordpress in not a cms, but it is very nice. modx looks very interesting, and freeflex too. maybe drupal is the best.
I use Drupal and customized WordPress. WordPress is indeed not a CMS, but is a great platform for article and information centric sites. It has tons of plug-ins that can turn it into a very CMS-kin platform.
I use Xoops on many of my sites and find it to be very flexible. Check-out www.xoops.org if you want to learn more.
i am using drupal and wordpress for now * wordpress is not a CMS * but now also looking to try out joomla in next project .
Ohhh you bunch of LAMP's. LOL. Just kidding. Hope not to get kicked out. I'm an asp.net nut, and I use DNN, and customized CMS400. Telerik I have in my box as well. I like DNN for it's ease of use and skinning architecture. I hate DNN's menu system. I don't have enough experience using PHP or MySQL to feel confident about using Joomla, WordPress or Drupal, but I've always loved the sites that I've seen with them.
Well, I don't know about all these other systems but I use sNews CMS and it has SEF URLs by default from version 1.4 (currently awaiting version 1.5 with many improvements) and searching in mods section on sNews forum you'll find a neat little mod that will allow you to enter/edit your meta tags (description & keywords) for each article you have from admin interface. I should also point out sNews is a one-file ~80KB CMS that if you have any experience with PHP and MySQL you can do wonders with (actually I was a total newbie when I started using it, like 3 months ago, and I've modified it for my need countless times already and now I even started creating my own simple mods). There are many useful mods you can add sitting there in the forum and the new version will have some of them included by default. And the community at the forum is unmatched. You can try a demo at OpenSourceCMS.com. Also it's very easy to use it with any CSS template...
