I am Going to be releasing a new site soon. Due to issues i don't know if i want to keep my current joomla website or make a new site in a different cms. This is a list of Cms's i have access to, which do you think is the best.[List at end] The website i am trying to create is a collection of text files with forum integration (possibly smf) and user management. The users should be able to submit text files but only in a plain text editor. Hopefully there should be a link manager and the ability to have the users have default submitting rights. I know its a lot to ask but what do you think would best fit this criteria? Drupal Geeklog Joomla Mambo Open Source PHP-Nuke phpWCMS phpWebSite Post-Nuke Siteframe TYPO3 Xoops it should also be seo friendly. Any help would be appreciated.
I'd stick with Joomla if you're already using it. You can trial a range of free LAMP systems at www.opensourcecms.com
Well it seems that i will be keeping my joomla website, the other question in have is what components mods or mambots would you recommend to pull this type of website off? I have been doing some tests myself but its always good to get a recommendation. The main thing i could not yet find was the plain text editor.
