Which CMS is for me?

I want to build a site with a blog and forum.

People can join and post their articles on my blog, leave comments, or join forum.

I have three CMS to consider:

Jooma

WP and BBpress

IP.B & IP.Blog

Which one is better?

Bagi Zoltán · 01-22-2008, 05:51 PM

I would put my vote on WP plus BB press. It may take for a while until the two scripts will have the same design but i found both of them very handy.

Hi Bagi Zoltán,

I also consider WP is better.

There is a new CMS called CMSMS.

What do you think about that? It's seems easy to customized. But it may have less function and plugin.

Bagi Zoltán · 01-22-2008, 06:42 PM

Sorry to say but never heard about CMSMS. I know that modX is said to be an excellent CMS but unlickily had no opportunity to test so far.

jimmychuang · 01-22-2008, 06:46 PM

Does WP has link manager and frontend user plugin?

Bagi Zoltán · 01-22-2008, 07:44 PM

You may easily manage links at the backend at the blogroll options. But i am not sure that i know what you mean under frontend user plugin

For this kind of web site you should try Joomla or Word press, i think is better with Joomla, I have try it and is working very well....

Mad Cat · 01-23-2008, 06:44 PM

Well, I'd recommend you to install wp + ip.board and make them having sinle registered users db.

WP out of what you listed, but with what you wanna do..go with XOOPS!!

Xoops is absolutely awesome, free, and easy to customize. If not xoops, check out pligg or joomla.

WP is my recommendation even though I have no idea about BBpress. Joommla uis good, but I guess little too complicated and heavy.

roje0913 · 03-12-2008, 09:15 PM

I think Drupal is the best for you, real simple to set up and lets users have their own blogs also, quite a few templates out there for it also and a decent user support network, all for free.

I've been playing with CMS over the past few months. I am a member of a blogging community - http://www.communati.com - that uses Drupal. I think it works well, though the site is always in progress and there are always kinks that the admin is trying to work out.

As for my business, I just migrated over to Joomla. Most of the data will be static, but I like the flexibility adding, editing and removing content that Joomla provides.

I can't speak for WP or BBpress, but I'm sure they are good too. It really comes down to your technical knowlegde and personal preferences.

Good luck!

I am a big fan of wordpress myself. I think wordpress with a seperate forum software installation would fit your needs.

imrankhan · 04-11-2008, 06:19 PM

I only used word press and that looks to me easy to install.
