Content Management Systems - or, manage my CMS and upgrade it daily to avoid security breaches?

who, what & where - W.H.Y.

Personally running an assortment of sites and playing with more than just the three title codes, each have their own kind of 'niche'.

any views on yours?
 
Sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about?

Are you asking for help with a CMS?
Are you asking about the best way to update one?
Are you posing a discussion on why anyone uses them?
Are you asking if it's better to DIY or have someone do it for you?

just sparking topical conversation on free-source CMS systems, seeing if I got a response - which I did, it was kinda hostile, especially seeing as you had no idea what I was talking about...

How was that hostile? It started with "Sorry". Offence culture TBH!


We use Joomla for a project management system at work, everyone seems to hate it, but I quite like it. I think it's just the done thing to hate on internal tools. That said, Lotus Notes deserves the hate.

oh well, ho hum. How are 'new' folks finding the entire Joomla experience, considering it is probably one of the most complex of admin consoles?

Your writing style is very ambiguous, if I hadn't posted, nobody would have. Anyhow, you now have at least one on topic answer. ^^^
 
Ok. Yeah, CMSes are quite nice. Drupal is really really good, especially if you dress it up so it doesn't look like Drupal.

Security for each is best handled individually. Since there are so many users there are sizable communities built around management, maintenance, and security for each of the big ones.
 
I have to admit, I'm kind of swinging towards Drupal as a medium between E107 and Joomla. I keep getting sidetracked and swapping about. What matters i.e. joomla (forums), e107 (simplicity), joomla (depth).

On another note, do you prefer oscommerce or zencart. one bare and the other extended complexities. anything goes
 
phpMyAdmin is a must for almost all of these systems.

For those who don't know, it's the be all and end all manual MySQL database editing GUI.
 
I found Drupal to be an awkward system which honestly never seemed to suit what I wanted. E107 has always been my favorite of the portal systems by a significant margin.

we use drupal to do the same, in conjuntion with Microsoft Groove for holding precious docs within the teams.

Many sites are running on Joomla, removing the licensing and maintaing favicon.ico, why is this?

I use e107 on customer managed sites, it seems easier to configure groups/permission and user rights within. Is this something drupal/joomla misses underneath swapping menus and configuring user permissions for each block/module/page?
