Looking for simple CMS


Hi guys,

I'm looking for a very simple CMS script that works the following way.

I want an admin area where you log in and can add 'areas'. By areas I mean that you may want to have a footer section, so you would create an 'area' called footer and the script gives you a code to paste such as

PHP Code:
<?php include'area.php?id=footer' ?>
then you can put this on any document within the website.

The script then allows you to use a textrich editor to create what should be displayed on this section and save it (with edit and delete capability).

Basically I want to design my own pages All CMS scripts I've found seem to need every page layout to be the same, and some of my pages do not resemble my site in any way at all.

I'm pretty sure that drupal will allow this: http://drupal.org/node/104316

At my company, we've also used modx this way. I'm not the one that implemented it, but I know that we just use modx to pull in the content on the pages that we decide to use it.

both of the above a bit more complicated than what I need really. I just want to be able to add 'sections' and add the text and use an include code to display that section where ever I want.

FYI: Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal all aren't really simple and/or light.

I would try GetSimple. The name explains itself. It doesn't even require MySQl; it uses XML.

You make 'snippets' and PHP-include them.
Extremely lightweight and easy to set up/integrate.

Wordpress is a good choice for CMS, although it may not give the best in terms of flexibility. But it gets the job done easily with a much shorter learning curve.

Joomla works in the manner you need but you can't add areas from the admin interface. Areas, are added in the template code. Or you could add them as html modules.

I'd recommend Drupal; it has a very powerful concept called 'Blocks'. You can define various zones on your template and then dynamically assign any content to it. But, learning curve of drupal is ... well ... quite long.
