    Marcus,

    Personally I would recommend e107 or vanilla:

    Vanilla is more of a forum though and may not suit your needs.
    Nonetheless check it out here:

    http://getvanilla.com/

    and e107 (one of the top rated CMS's on http://www.opensourcecms.com ) is available at http://www.e107.org

    Outside of that: I'd only recommend maaaaybe mambo but I don't like it overall.

    Hi David,

    Thanks for your recommendation.

    I tried e107 but i got difficulties in creating new custom page because i am using a mac and the custom page thingy had a windows installer execution file.

    So ... ya .... u know.

    Mambo, tried it, been there, took a t-shirt, done there, might not be good for a long term run ....

    Thanks.

    Marcus,

    You can disable that 'popup' WYSIWYG editor within the preferences if it was causing issues with your browser.

    It's also not included in the latest version either.

    using custom pages should really be done by simple templating.

    eg:
    PHP Code:
    <?php

    require_once("/class2.php");
    require_once(
    HEADERF);
    include(
    "anything.you.need.php");

    // you can use your own php functions, this is one from my newsfeeds plugin

    $menu SomeCode($channel,$feed,$max);

    // you then render the code or just paste your html

    $ns->tablerender("<br />","<div style='text-align:center'><br />".$menu."</div>");

    require_once(
    FOOTERF);
    ?>
    you could try a beta version of e107 0.7, i use it on my site (see sig)

    get e107 0.7 (beta) it's far better for custom pages, now all handled by the site code, in your browser.
    <erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

    Simple templating? You meant paste :

    PHP Code:
    <?php

    require_once("/class2.php");
    require_once(
    HEADERF);
    include(
    "anything.you.need.php");

    // you can use your own php functions, this is one from my newsfeeds plugin

    $menu SomeCode($channel,$feed,$max);

    // you then render the code or just paste your html

    $ns->tablerender("<br />","<div style='text-align:center'><br />".$menu."</div>");

    require_once(
    FOOTERF);
    ?>
    and then edit in the -> // you then render the code or just paste your html

    upload and run and of course after setting up the custom page??

    Is is that you are refering? Algothrim???

    Thanks for your kind advice!

    well i guess i should explain it in a little more detail. the basics needed for a custom page in e107 are:
    PHP Code:
    <?php

    require_once("/class2.php");
    require_once(
    HEADERF);
    ?>
    <h1>Example HTML content ONLY</h1>
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Duis in ante at libero imperdiet tincidunt. Quisque tincidunt, elit in porta venenatis, leo nulla mollis dui, id viverra tortor augue ut urna. Nullam velit. Nam imperdiet pede non nibh. Curabitur urna urna, nonummy in, rhoncus a, tristique non, lectus. Vivamus vel nisl. Ut porttitor vulputate urna. Aliquam erat volutpat. Duis justo. Praesent eu enim. Nunc id erat sed nunc viverra interdum. Donec consequat. Morbi sed neque. Nunc bibendum. Mauris porttitor dictum nunc. Suspendisse potenti. Nunc molestie mollis neque.</p>
    <?php
    require_once(FOOTERF);
    ?>
    for php content:
    PHP Code:
    <?php 

    require_once("/class2.php"); 
    require_once(
    HEADERF); 

    $title "Content with PHP";
    $content "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Duis in ante at libero imperdiet tincidunt. Quisque tincidunt, elit in porta venenatis, leo nulla mollis dui, id viverra tortor augue ut urna. Nullam velit. Nam imperdiet pede non nibh. Curabitur urna urna, nonummy in, rhoncus a, tristique non, lectus. Vivamus vel nisl. Ut porttitor vulputate urna. Aliquam erat volutpat. Duis justo. Praesent eu enim. Nunc id erat sed nunc viverra interdum. Donec consequat. Morbi sed neque. Nunc bibendum. Mauris porttitor dictum nunc. Suspendisse potenti. Nunc molestie mollis neque.";

    $ns->tablerender($title$content); 

    require_once(
    FOOTERF); 
    ?>
    the main difference between these is that using raw html in the first example allows you to set up the structure and styles exactly as you want. in the second example the content will be structured and rendered according to the current theme's $tablerender function.

    it's simple enough for me i guess but you might want to experiment.

    Marcus,

    I currently use e107 on all of my sites actually.
    Shoutlast is another example of e107 (and with no custom configuration)
