Looking for CMS/Framework/Language for my website

    Hello! I've been working in PHP for years, made few websites, used different tools like: clean PHP, Drupal, Joomla, Wordpress, CodeIgniter and lately Fuel CMS. However I think that I'm somewhat limited by PHP. Now I'm working on a project which:
    - site has to be easily modifiable by people who know nothing about PHP/HTML/CSS,
    - there are pages and subpages,
    - there is blog-like system of posting news & comments (only on front page),
    - there are 5 calendars, which can be edited by admins in admins panel (normal users can't view them), and one can be also edited by users who have permission given by admin,
    - there is one global account (for calendars, for admin panel and for news & comments).

    I've done this in FUEL CMS. It was fun, because this CMS really s great architecture and is well written, but sometimes I had to do "nasty" tricks because of PHP/javascript limits. So my question is: which language will be best for me, and what CMS/framework?

    I personally try to develop CMS myself using codeigniter, you have more say in how things are put together instead of using an out of the box CMS. BUt then again, the project maybe simple enough to warrant a CMS.

    If you want to use CodeIgniter I suggest reading through the official docs and having a look at some decent tutorials just to get yourself off the ground.

    The server-side language will probably be PHP regardless of which library or CMS you use. The client-side language will be Javascript - you really don't have much choice. Adding a CMS or a library limits what you can do further than using a language itself.

    Check out PyroCMS. It's written with CodeIgniter. I personally love it.
