Content Management System Plugins For WORDPRESS

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know of any content management system plugins for wordpress that makes wordpress more a CMS than a blog?

I would like to use it to manage a membership site that includes member subscriptions, member areas, articles, download area, and a forum.

I know many people recommend Joomla but honestly I am already familiar with wordpress and really like it and would prefer to stick with it if I could.

Thanks,

Sunshine

 

Semiologic has plugins that turn WP to CMS. But there are a lot of WP plugins out there so chances are you can find one for each feature you want (forum, etc). Start at WP's plugins page

 

I've visited semiologic and even looked through codex for plugins but I haven't been able to run into anything that can do exactly what I'm trying to create with wordpress, i.e. set up a subscription site with a members area, download area, forum and an area for articles.

So, if anyone knows of anything, please post them here.

Thanks,

Sunshine

 

If you have installed WP than you can find a list within the admin panel that takes you to sites that have a large library of plugins. I believe that I did see one on one of the links here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ Those links lead to all the plugins that I know of. I use alot of them for my site as well. Hope it helps you.

 

There is a WordPress component for Joomla that installs WP into Joomla and then you can get Remository or DocMan for your downloads section. This could possibly do every thing you want. Then you have a good cms and have WordPress integrated. This may be an option for you.

 

Wow! that's fantastic information. I think I'll add a few points to your reputation

And BTW, do you have any links for what you mentioned (WP plugin for joomla, remository, docman)

Thanks,

Sunshine

 

Sunshine,
Here is a download link for Remository and DocMan: http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,listcats/cat_id,1771/Itemid,35/
And here is the link for the WordPress component: http://extensions.joomla.org/compon...rch/Itemid,35/searchword,word press/cat_id,0/

These are all direct from the Joomla extensions site at: http://extensions.joomla.org

According to Joomla they will release version 1.5 this month which is a big upgrade from version 1.0.8
When you install Joomla I suggest you install the component JoomlaXplorer. It is a great file management system for Joomla that you can download from the extensions site. Soon I hope to have all the latest options and templates for Joomla available for free download on my Market Place site.

Good luck with your project and when you get it done feel free to post a link to your site in my directory.

 

Intlws...You've offered fantastic help here along with everyone else.

Hi Sunshine, How did the Joomla Project go, did you get wordpess to work with it? I am working on a similar project and wanted to know if the two integrated nicely.

 

Has anyone found a worthwhile PHP3 BB bridge for Wordpress?

 

There is only one PHPbb bridge for Wordpress, and from what I hear, it can be a disaster - worse yet, it can corrupt your site to the point where an uninstall isn't possible.
