Skywalk

this is INDEED THE BEST COMMUNITY period....

you are right about that one....

when I say features I mean modules that webmasters can benefit from with out outsourcing...

currently I have 2 partners...

1 - to power my dating site
2 - to power my job site

They both are GREAT!

I mean I can compete with hotjobs, monster...etc etc. when it come for job boards..and the dating site is nice also, actually made some lil money from it so far...

BUT


I would REALLY like to run my own Job Board, and dating in the near future....

"Mambo
Now we are cooking with charcoal (yeah, Pratchett fan)
Mambo installation was fast and fine.
Layout of Mambo is excellent."

I dont know why I am having so much trouble installing this then....

I have been trying to install mambo for like..hmm 2 days now...not working!

I t does look great though...

I have also been looking at this new CMS

MaxDev...

LOOKS GREAT ALSO....has planety of modules...

Its just the Block/Permission system is killing me right now....

Xoops is much easier to modify

But the themes/templates look better than most XOOPS templates...

They evolved i think 3 CMS in one...

Also, changing themes is much harder on this MaxDev...Im still playing with it though....we will see

OK that is my next task...

Im going to head to the Barnes n Noble. to pick up a couple of books on PHP....


Hopefully the learning curve will be fast..and I can help out with things in the community....

so to make mopdules all you need is

HTML & PHP knowledge?

anything else I am missing?

Also, when learning PHP? do you need an editor or something? I have Dreamweaver on my PC

will that work?

Quote:
What XOOPS lacks is developers with PHP knowledge and the motivation for making modules and porting existing modules. Too many requests, too few people to produce the modules.


Yeah, I guess that would be a setback..

I am thinking about really sitting down and learn PHP...

its just i been so busy with so many other things...

But I think im going to take the time to learn..


How difficult is PHP to learn...
compared to...
HTML - Javascript - C++ - Visual Basic


Also, XOOPS is DEFINATELY the easiet to migrate, learn, and modify!..

I am still tweaking with these other CMS and they are no way near as user friendly..

JMorris....

good input....Secuirty IS the main key...I rather have that then any other thing....

Actually I did make a post maybe a week ago, saying I will actaully PAY for certain modules, and got no response?


Im also am playing with other CMSs...

Xoops so far has been the EASIEST to install and intially learn....than these other ones....

I do also check the dev. site from time to time...

some I can even get on my system....

Which CMS did you play with before you made the choice of XOOPS?

Another thought though..when it comes to picking a CMS..is the COMMUNITY itself...

I have been on PostNuke, Mambo, MaxDev, phpnuke

XOOPS is the BEST community! PERIOD!

The forums stay active, you can usually find an answer to something in less thna 10 minutes...

On Postnuke = Dont stay by your PC waiting for a reply...

MaxDev= Only 2 people that can really help out...considering the CMS is only a year old. and most of the developers DONT know english....

Mambo= Pretty much the same as PostNuke, but there are people who are willing to help and advise...

phpnuke....ummm

Oh, so the porting is more difficult in XOOPS than PostNuke I assume you are trying to refer to?

Well then I understand that...but why was XOOPS made so different in that aspect of porting?

I know nothing about PhP, porting etc. etc...But why not make a easier system for porting, for those that know how to?

I just think there are way too many xoopers not to have these features and modules available...

with all the willing site owners to contribute to development....financially...there is just no excuse to have development stagnant unless there are just a limited amount of Devs. on Xoops. But that should be the only explanantion....

I think XOOPS can do everything you need...

Honestly though,....Mambo I have seen has WEB HOSTING templates/themes that are spectacular...for Free....
and also has a CSS Module, that makes designing your own template much more user friendly.....

I see it as ...Xoops is a better portal/community based CMS and Mambo May have the best feel for businesses...

First I will like to say I love xoops, and since I found the CMS I have learned so much and my website has grown cause of Xoops.

Well, I have done more and more research by the day

I have noticed that 3 other CMSs are a little past XOOPS when it comes to Module integrations within their systems.

I have went to

MaxDev, Mambo, and Postnuke

All three have many more modules and features when it comes to the overall CMS


They have modules that have been ported to their systems....that also could be ported by Xoops...

for example....

phPro 3.0 Job Board, v4bJournal, zPersonals v3, Quiz...and many more...

are these not able to be ported to XOOPS to?

just a little insight
