What I'm looking for is some kind of article system. I've found a few that's quite good but none have all the features needed:
- user management
- admin approval of new articles
- image uploads
- comments from viewers
- must be able to handle special characters
- wysiwyg html editor (not a must, but wanted)
- templates (not a must, but wanted)
- voting (not a must, but wanted)
- database (not a must, but wanted. Mysql!)
Anyone know about something like this?
I'd preffer a freeware, but would pay for a really good system.

How could I miss that one? Looks very nice, and it's free =)
I'd like to use the snitz userbase/security, so I'll probably have a few hours of coding to do.
Thanks alot!!

Well, if I recall correctly Mambo = PHP.
So...I'm not sure if you can use the snitz userbase....
forget what I just said ; if you're using MySQL for your Snitz, you can ofcourse use the members-table within Mambo ... after a little while coding that is  |

phew... I thought I had missed something =)
Yeah, it's too bad it's php, but it's by far the best alternative (free alternative, that is.. But I can't spend $300 on this thing. ) I've seen.
I'm not sure how to do this though... :
- either I use the mambo code, and alter it to use my userbase and so on.
- or, I use mambo to INSERT articles into the database, and then build a "snitz interface" to show the articles and categories and so on.
I'm even worse at php than asp, so I think it'll take more time to alter the mambo code, but I really s*ck at design, so the "snitz interface" will look really bad =)

Podge: I want my forum users to be able to write articles and test reports (testdrive cars and like..), then some moderator approve the articles. wysiwyg is a must because most of my users don't know html.
I don't have asp.net on my server.
pdrg: I tested some wikiwig or whatever it's name was, didn't like it. What do wiki stand for anyways? =)

It stands for Truth, Justice, and the American Dream.
there are lots of different WIKI engines (moinmoin, wikiwiki, even Microsoft have one they use for http://channel9.msdn.com), so you may find one you like if you hunt around.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki will tell you all about wiki (if somewhat recursive)
EDIT: the C9 guys use flexwiki http://www.flexwiki.com/ (but it 404's for me this morning). If you don't know C9, it's worth a visit :) |

Well, that look really nice, but it's kinda the same thing as mambo I think?
The biggest problem is how to integrate it into snitz without it looking like a forum inside a forum..
