Hi Folks,
I have seen, that there are some discussion about CMS and ASP Portals.
Perhabs this will be interesting for you!
I have developped an ASP-Content Management and Publishing System in the last 2 years. Till novembre I only sold it to companies but I decided to put it under the GNU/GPL Licence.
So since the 1. of decembre (really new, new) you can get it from my new Site: http://www.djam-boo.com
Till now we had only time to realize the german spoken part of the site. The english will be created in the next weeks. Nevertheless you can find a lot of Screen-Shots of the System (under the german part) which can help you to see some of the features.
As I told you, the site is really new!!
And people who think about using Postnuke or any other so called CMS (Don't know why Postnuke is called CMS because in my opinion it is not) you should test the Djam-Boo Publishing System.
Perhabs there aren't such a lot of modules but the flexiblity is .
Here are only some features about:
Technically the system is based on MS ASP-Technology and you can run it with MS Access or MS SQL 7/2000.
Info-Manager:
- Create Content with high number of Features
- Browserbased hight sophisticated WYSIWYG-Editor to create Content, Hyperlinks, Text-Colors, Background-Colors, Tables (in every kind you like) etc.etc.etc
- integrate images only with Mouse-Clicks etc.
- ...
Category-Manager:
- Define your very own structure of your site
- Link the Content to your Categories.
- Link Lists to Categories
- Create Popup-Menus only with Clicks
List-Manager:
- High flexibility in creating Navigation-Menus.
Admin:
- Upload Files on the Server
- Define Userrights through Profils. With it you can realize individual Profiles for every publisher working on the system.
- Classes for the administration
- Language-Manager for individual number of Site-Languages
- Template-Manager
- ...
- Admin-Language is english and german (till now)
Statistics:
- Statistics of what ever you want (nearly)
- Graphical overwiews
- ..
Modules:
- Guestbook
- Linklists
- Sell&Buy
And you can integrate very easy external Applikations directly inside the navigation of the system like the Snitz Forum, Chat-Systems and so on, so that for a visitor of your page it seems as it is only one Applikation.
Ciao

Djamboo,
Please let us know when it is available in English. I have a huge (400MB) site that has evolved over the past 4 years. It was created in FrontPage 2000 initially, and has really outgrown that tool's capabilities. I NEED a content management tool such as this appears to be....
This appears to be a powerful system, but it's hard to really tell since I don't know German.

the system is just available in english. You can choose the administration-language (english/german).
Only the documentation in english is missing and we will need again some weeks.

| Well, Iīve tested in and it works fine, but I must say that Postnuke is much better to work with, many more modules, a more complete finished product, while this seems like bit and pieces from different places, nothing wrong with that, but it shows here Iīm afraid. |

I told you, that postnuke has more modules and of course I know.
I tested phpnuke and postnuke (but the php-versions) on a Linux-System, too.
But if you try to create a real structure like in my opinion a Web-Site should have, with ~nuke there is no possibility. You have only the possibility to "throw" Content in the Web.
This does not mean Content-Management.
Or have you ever seen a ~nuke-Web-Site really structured?
What do you mean with bit and pieces from different places? Only because of the reason, that I use different databases. It has a lot of advantages specially with large sites.
And why I should enter e.g. the forum database inside the cms database, makes no sense.

PS: You are the first one, I have met, who understood all features in some hours, and there are just a lot of people working with the earlier version. Wow!! |

Well, everything in life is a matter of opinion - just like I prefer blondes, while others might prefer brunettes.
Let me put it this way: I was asked to design a portal, so after some testing, I found Postnuke to deliver what they needed. Itīs easy to skin the portal to my liking, and if I need a feature not provided by the base code, I just download it and install it in 5 min. Itīs all about support and MODs - Postnuke has existed for quite some time now, and thereīs an excellent danish Postnuke portal if I need help.
Itīs actually the same with Snitz. Even though I find Invisionboard very interesting and even if I could transfer all my members and posts to Invisionboard I would not do it, why? because the support here is fantastic, and I know several people personally that can do anything in ASP. |

I'm trying to find something that I can easily integrate with Snitz -- I don't want to change from the best forums going!
I need something with pretty heavy-duty support for largely textual reference information (including complex tables) yet handles pictures well also. I have over 60MB of HTML pages (not counting pictures), and have probably that much more to add. Some itemss are 40-50 pages of parts tables or cross-reference tables, not 1-2 page articles. I've been running Huwr's portal for several months, which provides great functionality for everything but this heavy-duty document handling and navigation....
That's personally what has me looking still...
