Re: [ilugd] suggest a CMS
I tried out a few CMSs when I had to started with making a website for my department (it is still work under progress and not published yet). I did try Joomla, MODx, and a few more CMS (I have the names on my lab PC) but we finally stuch to MODx. We foudn it to be quite configurable (I'm sure others are as well), graphically and otherwise. I can't really say much about other options but I would suggest MODx because I found it pretty easy to modify its code (to adapt to our requirements) and also modifying some of the add-ons (like EasyNews/EasyEvents or something). It is also pretty easy to make submission forms (for surveys/feedback etc). Oh, forgot the important thing which is that our requirement was that faculty/staff/and even students should be able to manage content (MODx supports that but I will also confess that giving the initial roles is a tad-bit confusing though it seems logical once you get it going). We did not want a website where a guest visitor should be able to modify/add content and that is what I have been able to turn it into (just had to disable a plugin and make a few changes in the template (skin/theme)).

Re: [ilugd] suggest a CMS
in infinite wisdom sonika tyagi spoke thus On 05/01/2008 10:30 AM: Thank you all for your suggestions. I am still reading stuff to decide on which CMS to use. Someone said Drupal is hackprone... and yet Drupal is being recommended over Joomla!!! Security is an important concern to me, so would prefer a CMS which is more secure. Another factor to keep in mind is the programming language you are comfortable with. My suggestion would be to choose a CMS that is in your programming language of choice, since that would make changing/fixing/writing plugins for it easier. If you are worried about security, you can put apache in a chroot jail and run it with suexec module. Not that this would gurantee you anything, but it would protect you against script kiddie attacks. -- raj shekhar facts: http://rajshekhar.net | opinions: http://rajshekhar.net/blog Yoda of Borg are we: Futile is resistance.

However, since you mentioned plone can I clarify some of my doubts on this: Plone is based on Zope which in turn is based on Python. Zope is locked today on Python 2.4, where most distributions have moved to Python 2.5. Zope development 2.9(??) is being done more like a Python Module/package than as an engine, which was the case earlier. Zope3.0 seems to be a disconnect from past. May be I reached a wrong conclusion, but would like to see opinion of others in this regard. anand ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
Re: [ilugd] suggest a CMS
Thank you all for your suggestions. I am still reading stuff to decide on which CMS to use. Someone said Drupal is hackprone... and yet Drupal is being recommended over Joomla!!! Security is an important concern to me, so would prefer a CMS which is more secure. I was looking at the old version of the website I am working on- It was developed using asp.net... I was wondering if is possible to import the old content/structure into Joomla/Drupal/other.

If it ain't a very crucial site (by crucial I mean it's not hosting some kind of service which if hacked can result in huge monetary loss) then you can also try out Drupal, I don't know why but Drupal seems to be the easiest and most hackprone CMS around. ezPublish seems a bit daunting at first as it requires one to understand it's language syntax and all, but the end result is quite good.
