[ ... snipped ... ]


I've looked at <http://phpnuke.org/ phpnuke>, <http://www.postnuke.com • postnuke>
and even <http://phpwebsite.appstate.edu/ phpWebsite>. I know
<http://www.ldraw.org/ Ldraw.org> is running on a modified version of • postnuke,
which is a nod in that direction.

Does anyone have some suggestions, recomendations, experience with one of • these,
or comments? I'd been open to other content management things, I just need
something that is easy to setup (1) as I'm only sorta in tune with all • this.


[ ... snipped ... ]

The NCLTC (www.ncltc.cc) and NCLUG (www.nclug.cc) web sites are both based
on PostNuke.  I also played around with phpWebsite from ASU and ended up
rejecting it because it was extremely sloooow.

I like PostNuke, there are lots of modules freely available to extend the
core functionality.  I didn't investigate PHPNuke much, as near as I can
tell, PostNuke is an offshoot of PHPNuke and has better support and more
modules.

I have also used PostNuke at work for a couple of projects and it has worked
well.  It is very easy to get a web site up and running.  Developing a theme
takes some time as the process isn't well (IMHO) documented but by playing
around you can figure it out.

Hope this helps.

Mike

(...) Hi Mike, I just visited ncltc.cc and it appears the "whats new in lugnet.trains" sidebar is doing strange things. The 5 headers it lists are the last 5 posts to .trains, which are numbered 23395 to 23391, but the numbers in the links are 23393 (...) (20 years ago, 31-Aug-04, to lugnet.publish)
  Re: Content Management - Starting a new Club site
 
(...) Slow is no good. I actually only came across phpWebsite because a friend had used it on his site. And he had only used it because it came already installed on his host. Both ncltc and nclug have very clean interfaces, which is something I (...) (20 years ago, 31-Aug-04, to lugnet.publish, FTX)

I've got a question for all you web gurus. I'm start work on chicago-builders.org and I am hesitant to just copy the ground work I've already laid over at <http:www.michlug.org michlug.org>.
