use drupal. it be the shiz.
http://www.drupal.org/

a lot of the concepts were taken from scoop and slashcode, but it's lightweight and uses php/mysql. insanely customizable... the documentation kind of sucks though, so you'll have to play to figure things out. it's worth it.

see an example of a drupal site at http://nerdcore.org

there are a ton of files there, what does what? what do i download to install it


.

[robin]

oh. yeah, it's a little confusing; download link for drupal 3.0.2 is on the front page: http://www.drupal.org/drupal/drupal-3.0.2.tgz

everything on the download page is just add-ons and extra themes. installation is pretty standard, i guess... documentation is in the tgz file

thanks, what addons do you recemend? im going to try this out and see how i like it


i cant freaking un zip the files i need to :mad:

[robin]

definitely the bbs addon; the forum module included in the source code sucks. the chatbox is okay; haven't tried any others.

the cvs code (which is pretty buggy at the moment) has a lot more modules, and they're pretty cool -- hopefully they'll put out a new stable version soon with the updated modules.

If you want cms++ (portal style) I recommend you the following:

http:\\developer.ez.no - ez Publish (very rich of features, but a bit complex in customizing, for unix and windows)
http:\\www.dcp-portal.com (easy customizing, reach of features)

Both made in php+mysql.

i need something like this

http://www.nelogic.com/index.php?topic=nepublish (my friend made it but its 300$)

Well, if you're looking for php powered cms like you mentioned before (nepublish) I found this (http://www.edit-x.com) looking very similar in style and functionality, but not in cost... because it's free! :D

Hope this helps.

Note. You can find many cms at hotscripts.com
