I have a website with HTML files, and not PHP. I wanted cutenews, but I don't have PHP. What's a good content managment program like cutenews that I can use on an HTML based website?


Answer
Hello,

Below are the most popular open source content management systems from which you can make a decision.

Joomla! 1.5 is the new and improved version of the award-winning CMS. It provides refined and simplified menus and improved site and media management. If you would like to see how Joomla 1.5 works, here you get Joomla 1.5 pre-installed and activated in less than 15 min.


Mambo is among the most powerful and commonly used Content Management Systems ever. With its help you can create simple as well as more complex corporate website. It provides a lot of wonderful functionalities, it has easy to manage control panel and is user-friendly. Mambo disposes of a growing community, support and template resources. Get Mambo pre-installed here.


With Drupal you can easily build many different types of web pages - from simple web blogs to large online communities. Drupal's design is not as fancy as those of Mambo or Joomla!, but it is very easy to customize, has built-in search tool and search-engine friendly URL's as an extra module, discussion capabilities and news aggregator.


phpNuke is another powerful Open Source portal application. It can be used as a weblog or as a CMS. The webmaster can add a lot of new features and customize the appearance of the website. PHPNuke is suitable for game clan and guild sites. Each user can post articles and comments. PHP-Nuke 8.1 can be ordered for only $12. Earlier versions are free software.


PostNuke is both a weblog and a content management system. It also serves community-based web projects with its built-in discussion features. PostNuke is designed to offer more open development environment. It is very powerful and works in high-volume environments with ease.

TYPO3 is suitable for enterprise websites and for intranets. There is a flexible basic Typo3 installation that can be extended through extra ready-made modules and interfaces. The design of TYPO3 is template-based and the webmaster can create own templates using the configuration language TypoScript.


With e107 the webmaster can create easy and quick business (intranet) or community websites. There is a powerful forums system as a built-in application and a high performance file-based caching in e107 CMS. It is released under the GNU General Public Licence.

Just pick the one that fits your sites best. Good Luck!

Can Joomla! have add-ons feature like chat or games, like in facebook?

Hello,

I am planning to build a site for myself. I know joomla's basic features as a CMS but i wonder if using it, is possible to later add features like those on facebook where you can chat, or install "apps" such as games, weather report, stock report, etc.

In other words, i'm starting my site as a simple news site. But if it becomes more popular i want the option for people to install game apps that people can play in my site like facebook. Later, even maybe chat with others also like in facebook.

Is this possible?

Thanks.



Answer
Joomla is not exactly what I would call a basic CMS you can add loads of features to your Joomla website using Joomla "extensions" (including chat) the best thing you could do is to have a look at:

http://extensions.joomla.org/

and search through their extensions to find what you want.

Also WordPress (also a CMS) also has a massive range of add on features called "Plugins" visit:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

And Drupal uses "Modules" to add on features to their CMS:

http://drupal.org/project/Modules

Each one of these CMS will have both free and Premium (paid) features that you can add to your website. Good Luck
