Hi there,

I want to setup a cms but wich one is the right?

...Joomla? Mambo? Typo3?

Check with your Host -- I found "PostNuke" to be better; maybe they already have it loaded for you in your CPanel ... beyond that, Joomla seems to be the main choice these days.

AGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

To start with Joomla IS Mambo... they split from the 'sponsor' last fall and the whole Open Source aspects moved on to Joomla

Now... Typo 3 is real tough as far as the learning curve and PhPNuke ..well... too limited and not as well set for SEO

So.. It's Joomla man...all the way !!

I use Joomla on ALL of my company and personal sites. We are also well ranked for and do a TON of Joomla work. We have been toying with many different CMS apps over years and settled there

More add ons for Joomla you say? http://extensions.joomla.org/

You can try out various different CMS, they're already installed for you to play around with so you can see what you like or dislike about the choices before you commit to work with one.

I tried that one and it's a BIT*H to upload and change all of the numerous php files!

I agree; only had it on-line for a week, and dumped it!

Ever tried Typo3 TA? Real user friendly..uh huh...argggg

That's why we settled on Joomla for clients since it was powerful and flexable while still not TOO intimidating to NON webby customers...

I used to work with Mambo as well until it moved to Joomla... playing along ever since... about 3 years now.. since Mambo 4.0 or so I think... soo long ago

Yeah guys,
thank you very much for the informations,

Let´s say, I take Joomla, is there a way to sign out the headings with h-tags? (the gyspys?, I think I saw it on http://www.vervedevelopments.com/servic … oomla.html, but no where else )

best regards,

ak

Never tried Typo3 -- just d/l Joomla; way too many php files to go thru and make 100's of changes ... had me in seconds ... why can't someone come up with a SIMPLE CMS -- ARRGGGHHH!!!

ha ha ha - silly - they're already installed on that site all you have to do is register and play with them all and see which one you like

you don't have to upload anything

you can try out all kinds of CMSs, Blogs, Forums, etc...

hihi

I have tried Xoops, PhpNuke, and Joomla. I sticked to Joomla.  Haven't got any serious problem whatsoever, just yet. Hopefully, I won't.

Joomla has just been too complicated for me......I tried and tried again....the next time is going to be my fifth...the thing is I see the potential but I keep getting errors. I can't even get the search engine friendly urls to work

@oseymour
did you use a 3rd party SEF component? did you edit your .htaccess file? haven't had any trouble doing it myself...

which is better, stable or beta?

stable for production websites... beta for tinkering and some headaches

Yeah, that makes sense, and the size of the download? it doesnt say anywhere?

joomla 1.0.11 (stable) is 6mb++ while joomla beta 1.5 is 9mb++ ... uncompressed...

I knew you'd say that ... yes; I d/l all of the files to my server and played with 'em -- guess I'm getting tired of trying to figure out WHICH php files to massage.

Sounds like a problem with the .htacces file... it usually screws up the SEF URLs....  you can get in touch if U need some help...:0)
