I need help finding a CMS software that will allow a user to input certain information about themselves, name address, etc I get to pick the standard questions. Once the user submit the information a page will be opened, almost like a special page for the person and all that information will appear in the page. Let's say the person's interest is "monkeys" so when someone else wants to search for people who like monkeys a list with all the people who chose monkeys as their interest will appear. I need the page to have a contact form and preferably a good layout, although I can design the layout and maintain the site on my own as I know most Web languages, html, css, php, java, javascript etc. The webpage would need extensive conding and since I'm in school I have no time to do that. How would I go on finding something like this? Something almost like errr Myspace? Where a user creates a page and that page is posted for others to find. (And no my plan is not to make another crappy myspace site)
You can have a look ( and even use ) Drupal with their special Profile module, along with Taxonomy. If you get the grasp of it no other software can beay it.
So let's say... I can have a beautiful home page a professional one, and the user can click a button, be taken to a page answer questions that "I" choose and then join? Once the user creates that account I can make it so that their profile can appear public and the information that they plugged in can appear both in search engines and to the public, and when people search in it, the profile of the user based on his choices in the questions will appear in the results?
Yes you can almost do that with Drupal. ( it needs some work and adding modules) You can also try Dolphin Boonex. Both are free downloads and takes only few minutes - why not try with xampp on your localhost?
We've been very happy with both Dolphin and Phpfox. Dolphin is better if you dont mind branding, and phpfox is the best if you can spend the $300. I run modification sites for both of these: DolphinElite.com Konsort.org
Thanks, but I decided not to do what I was planning on doing as most of these cms don't do exactly what I want.
Hey Germz - why not give us an idea what you were planning and see if anyone can motivate you to proceed
