Recommended Posts

Ok soooo, i need cms. :P Thw whole idea behind the site is to be something like bcdb.com but hack a lot better, but also only on serbian languange(maybe english l8er). So i really have no idea how to do that, which CMS to use or anything... I need it to allow some of my members(2 or 3) to be able to add info about some cartoon... :)

 

 

Any advice is appriciatable about CMS choosing :lol:

Anyhow just to let you guys know i started using SubDreamer CMS and it's kewl. I mean it's really simple to set up, large collection of modifications, skins... And best of all it integrate's with IPB just fine... :lol:

But i just want to clear thing's, this is not some advanced CMS like say joomla is, there are some pretty basic stuff's, and some advanced plug in's but that's developed unofficialy so you have to pay for those plug in's.

 

So if someone need's simple, straight forward CMS which get's the job done, SubDreamer is for you. If you need something more advanced and complicated i would go for joomla.

 

SubDreamer cost's $100 and joomla is free, but bridge to integrated IPB with joomla cost's around $20 and i dont know how it works, but anyhow for the time being i'll stick with sd... :) Maybe later i'll switch wo joomla... :lol:

I have some expirience with Joomla, as my site uses it. The bridge to IPB costs nothing at this point and is maybe not bugfree, but it gets better. The Joomla plugin is called JFusion. I can guide someone that installs it for the first time (if there is interest - the process is not so complicated but the dev docs are confusing and incomplete, so you have to figure some parts by yourself).

 

In Joomla there is an option via iframe (wrapper) to wrap any website, your forum also, but it is still buggy feature that is interpreted different by the different browsers. If you decide to integrate your forum with Joomla via JFusion, then the best solution will be to make the header of the forum look like the one from Joomla. This will keep your site/forum tidy.

For that purpose you will like to use FireFox extensions like: Firebug Firebug Lite , Web Developer.

Joomla is by far the best. And the someone made a bridge (thats working 100% for me :D) and its FREE!

 

jfusion.org

 

Though joomla is kind of confusing, once you learn how to use it, its the best :)

 

Still something that I do not like about it is the fact that you have to have a module assigned to a menu, in order to load it in the desired position. Loading a module in an article in a fixed module position simply do not work at this time.
