    Hi All,
    With so many open source CMS Scripts out there it's difficult to pick which one to install. I'm looking at setting up a simple CMS for my kids sports club (a 'love job'), and they need features such as, multiple users, upcoming events, calendar, photo gallery (all uploaded via browser), a news page and a simple registration payment system via Paypal. I was told by others that they all work well, but of course after trying a few out, I found that's not the case. Can anyone recommend a few that you've used and that has all these features included in the package.
    Thanks Heaps

    You can use social networking scripts like SocialEngine.. it's kind of a MySpace clone.

    If you want a flexible easy to learn and free CMS, go for Joomla. It has a lot of free and commercial extensions as well.

    Here are some JomSocial extensions for your site's need

    Community = Jomsocial (commercial), Community Builder (free)
    Events = EventList (free)
    Calendar = you can use eventlist module or use JCal (commercial)
    PhotoGallery = Joomgallery (free)
    Registration = Jomsocial and CB can do this

    Wordpress MU with Buddypress could serve the purpose perfectly for your requirements.
    Else Joomla could be the right choice as well.

    I agree with Tearabite
    Drupal has all modules you need, stable, secure
    It's themes, admin interfaces and codes simplier than joomla

    I've been running several social networking websites in the past.
    I used mainly Social Engine, PHPFox and PHPizabi (which for the record is free).
    If you're not planning to earn bucks from this project, PHPizabi should fit your needs perfectly I think!

    You can Choose Joomla Many Plugins and component and modules available which will suite your needs. More joomla admin interface is good for the designers :)

    joomla and drupal have alot of extensions which might be easier for yourself to support... the other apps mentioned here are good but lack plugins created by a large community base
