Our clients have found SS very intuitive with very little training. Which is pretty much an opposite experience we had with the Joomla sites we were doing a while back. They usually got the swing of things after training and practise, but generally they found the system quite confusing.
Another attractive thing about Silverstripe is the amount of customizing that can be done to the admin area. But this will require a bit of learning of the framework on your part, so maybe not feasable for this job. Drupal would be my next reccommendation. Although there's a bit of learning curve, it has a very fine grain permission system so your clients can do only (and exactly) what you want them to do. After logging in, if they have edit permission for a node type, they see an "Edit" button at the top of the page on the front end, which is very handy. I did see a CMS with an "inline editing" system a while ago. Where after logging in, the user can just navigate the frontend as per usual and click "edit" on certain blocks of content. A bit of Ajax trickery lets the user do it right there without a reload or redirect to a differently styled admin interface. This might be exactly what you are after. I think it might have been Modx. http://modxcms.com/quickedit.html Cheers Aaron ----- Original Message ----- From: "anru chen" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2009 8:20 AM Subject: [phpug] Re: content mangement system > > drupal and Joomla, i have looked both. > > all of them are complicated CMS, too many buttons, lot of tricks to get it > running, not good for end user. > > just a qustion for drupal experts here: > > how hard is to customise drupal to make it end user friendly? > no css, html, just click on a block of text and modify that block of text. > > On Tue, Jan 13, 2009 at 7:46 AM, Craig Cochrane > <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Silverstripe gets my tick >> Craig >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Gold" <[email protected]> >> To: <[email protected]> >> Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2009 6:37 AM >> Subject: [phpug] Re: content mangement system >> >> >>> >>> Tonight!
