Hi,
Can anyone tell me the best CMS script to use for linux hosting server? I would like it simple but full of features.

Thanks,

Here is a few best CMS for you.

PHP-Nuke
Joomla
Vbulletin

Thanks, ill have a look at them.

Your welcome glad i could help, and i hope one of teh above is what you are looking for.

vBulletin isn't a CMS
PHP-Nuke is more portal based
Joomla isn't my cup of tea

I suggest ImmerseCMS, WordPress or Drupal.

Vbulletin can be made to fit anyones needs and can work as a CMS.
PHP-Nuke is a portal/CMS

WordPress is a blog software more then a portal or CMS.

Any of these applications can be adapted to do just about anything - the trick is to choose the one that's as close as possible to what you want "out of the box".

Although primarily intended as a blog app I also find Wordpress makes a great cms for simple sites. It really depends on what the OP means by "full of features".

I'd suggest spending a few hours browsing opensourcecms.com (http://opensourcecms.com/) - read the comments and try for yourself.

PHP-Nuke is awful.

portal/CMS
Don't ever name those two at once again please. A portal is NO WAY equal to a CMS.

Hi,

there are several "small" but actually very powerful CMS:

CMSMadeSimple (a favorite)
WebsiteBaker
Contenido
Redaxo
Spip
Drupal

Wordpress can indeed be adapted to do much anything, but then starts to be highly uncomfy. Textpattern would be the better choice among blog-CMS.

It all depends what you want to use it for and whether you need unicode and multilinguality. There are loads of CMS to be used with ISO-8859-1, fewer which stomach UTF-8 well and only a very tiny amount which actually are able to display and work properly in several languages at the same time.

Greetings

OK

I think Joomla is the best, i use it for my site, and its brilliant :D
It has LOADS of features, and more can be gotten from the extensions site :D

Your gonna love this.. www.subdreamer.com but their sort of new around the block.. their skins are awesome but i'd like to stick with the pro's and go for joomla.

How about where would one find a CMS expert/web designer who will install and customize based on my specifications?

I can do this for the most part (which means I can maintain it), but I'm looking to save time and plug in content once it's finished. I have a very specific feature request list.

IMO there's nothing special about their skins. I suggest finding a CMS that best matches your functionality and backend needs. Skins are easy to modify to your exact liking, but making a nice looking CMS with a skin you like function the way you want it to is much harder.

A CMS with a good selection of plugins/addons is good, but be weary of ones that may break with upgrades, etc.

I personally like my CMS(yet to be named and released). With the use of smarty templates it further separates content, functionallity, and design which is very helpful for those who know enough to be dangerous, but not enough to fix things. The cache is nice too. I'll be posting once it's out of beta and of course it's open source :)

Is this something your making?

Yeah, it's been in the works for a while since I only work on it here and there. Beta testers are welcome, just PM me and I'll get you a copy.

Yes, skinning a CMS is not the problem (well not for me :D ), functionality is, I'm no coder.

And as you're building your own, let me say that the greatest problem I have with the absolute majority of CMS is that they are conceived usually only with the programmer's own small geo-political horizon in mind. Understandable, but it's more and more going to be a problem in our world.

A CMS needs to be multi* and "diversifiable" in many respects. That means TRULY internationalized, backend and frontend, and TRULY multilingual, which means EASY translation of content with translations clustered around the original article page (being one of ANY language too!).

I can right away click off those very few UNIX opensource CMS which are able to do that:

Spip
Typo3
WikiMedia
Campsite

And only the above and another very few CMS have stayed cleanly UTF-8 on a large variety of different servers and server constellations and also with in/out mail/upload traffic:

Wordpress
Textpattern
Nucleus
CMSMadesimple
Websitebaker

When you compare that to the actual number of CMS out there, it's really a bit shocking. Especially as several of the above are either highly specialised or the sort you won't hand over to a client or need root access. The day CMSMS will fully internationalise content, as they are planning currently to do, it will way outreach Mambo and any Mambo-derivate in excellence and usability. The day Campsite is finally ported to PHP (as is also planned), it will be *the* newspaper CMS like WikiMedia is the wiki one.

The point and problem is: full internationality is something which needs to be pre-planned into the core, it's more than simply using UTF-8 and as all devs have found out, these days it's something which users will inevitably demand, even if the devs themselves are used to speaking one language only.

Off my soap-box, but each time I read someone tell about "his own CMS" I get into that"soap-box-mode" all by itself :D

OK

Not a problem. I completely agree, so thanks for sharing. This CMS was initially created to use for many client's sites, a few being French, another was Japanese, and the rest English. Although that forced me to plan as you mentioned, there's still much work to do to satisfy all.

As far as the best current CMS it's a matter of opinion and meeting your specific needs. There is no "best", only the best for you. That may take quite some time to discover, so I wish the OP the best of luck.

CMSMadeSimple is extremely flexible and easy to use. Highly recommended.

CMS Made Simple is, indeed, made simple. Great for Joe Average's website.
