Content Management Systems

[ajruss]

Putting this here because your website helps with Station Promotions where can we find good website Content Management Systems that fit with radio and will not break the bank?And that is easy to use.

Well there are a few out there.

 

Good free ones are

The one thing I would bear in mind is what are the security risks in using a CMS?

I run a Joomla 1.5 site and have a joomla firewall for protection against PHP / SQL Injections along with other forms of hacks.

I'm using wordpress on several websites. I find it easy to install and use and it has hundreds if not thousands of plugins and widgets. There are lots of both free and paid templates available for it as well.

I know a lot of different ones, and can configure all of them. Right now at my station site, I am using E107. If you need a CMS that can fit your needs, send me an email to admin@fps-radio.com and we can see which one fits everything you are looking for.

i am using joomla for all my stuff, and i love it

[wildun]

As always, I'd be happy to help you along AJ, I can and do support any and all cms systems. It's only a matter of which you prefer.

Although it may not be as secure as some other CMS's I create my own. I find it fun (somehow, I guess when I have no errors) making my own CMS, I know everything that is in it, and can build it how ever I want, no spending hours reading through tutorials or waiting for someone else to make a widget for a different CMS.

Nick...

 

You created your own? Can I see it? or your site?

[NickolasM.]

I would love to let you see it, but I have only one account and that is for me, so you would have access to my full site. If you want me to make you one, just let me know via PM or email, I can through something togeather if you want to show it.

Welcome to my world! BW is a custom cms, I'm still working on it now haha. It's half integrated with the forums (vbulletin) which is handy. But yes, BW is a custom coded site!

Nick, check PM's, I think I wrote it while you were writing this.

[NickolasM.]

James, just remember spacing! It helps alot more then people would think!

 

And Sailor, never got a PM, .

 

P.S. James, have fun working with the forum.... Hehe.

What do you mean about spacing? ;)

Depending on which program you use to edit, some do it automaticly. I use notepad, so it doesnt.

 

Which is easier to read?

 

 

OR

 

session_start();
if(isset($_GET['logout']))
{
session_destroy();
header("Location: read.php");
exit();
}

if(isset($_POST['form_submission']))
{
$login_name = $_POST['login_user'];
$login_pass = $_POST['login_pass'];

include("../Important/Special-Logins/Feedback.php");
} ?>

 

The second one makes it much easier to identify errors, and easier to read

 

 

~~~~~ The code is a random snippet from a page I had, don't ask I don't know. :D

[Brutish Sailor]

You never got the PM?

[NickolasM.]

The BW sites are all spaced out properly if you check out the source code.

Also, spacing is good for when you're editing the site, but there are tools which take all the spacing out of it for when you upload because it loads slightly quicker and quicker loading time is always a good thing

My coding is sloppy in some of my sections i coded. I like my spacing anyway, as i tend to change coding alot as i learn new things. Spacing does not in any way "slow" the website load times down though. The average user will not look at the source code so i figure theres no need to get rid of spacing as its easier for me and thats all that matters

hi, if you know html, css.. so its not so hard to put a php script for ur needs

look at this site www.hotscripts.com (its a free php scripts)

As James said, spacing plays no part in load time. Way back when I was learning html there was a site that claimed compressing the file (removing spacing) would speed up the load time. They had an online tool to do so. I gave it a whirl and it was no faster on the load time whatsoever. It did however make editing a royal pain. I now put large spaces between things I know I will have to edit frequently so they are easy to find.

I use Drupal for most sites I build for the last few years. I've also used Etomie and Website Baker with good results.

[WizzSolutions.com]

I would vote for Drupal, We have few clients using this for their web sites and I can tell from my personal experience, This is one of the most flexible and secure content management systems, dozens of plugins, Gears support, and security for my personal opinion far beyond the other CMS systems.

 

So drupal

Security wize? Joomla has the best scripts for that.
