i need a cms mainly for articles but also need a sort of directory within the site. any ideas. paid or unpaid thanks
Joomla has a free plugin called SOBI2 (extensions.joomla.org/extensions/directory-&-documentation/directory/1113/details). It's free and works well.
Joomla! if you need directory for links, than you will use LINkX ... but if directory for persons/ firm, than you need to use SOBI2! if have some problems, ask Cheers
Wordpress has a few here's one I've seen used: http://www.linksback.org/wordpress/wordpress-plugins/wpdirectory-wordpress-plugin/
Drupal has directory module... conceptually similar to DMOZ, Yahoo, etc Details, and download link: http://drupal.org/project/directory
They all have diectory plugins I prefer Joomla but it just comes down to what your comfortable working with
try subrion.com, it has both articles and directory software. both from the same team perfectly compatible with each other.
