Hey guys,
I currently have a ton of postnuke (cms) sites. I recently purchased VB as my forums and there is no connector for postnuke to VB. I really like VB's template options but there is really nothing in VB with the flexiblity of postnuke in regards to building pages. I have tried, vbadvanced and a few others but they just don't seem to be what I want.
I want pages that look like webpages not posts.
I really like what sitepoint has page wise but I haven't figured out if it is a custom script of what, i saw the text editor they use, its nice but how do they organize the pages?
Also if anyone have any other suggestions on what I should do.
Here is my delema, I use postnuke because I don't know php and I can create multisites very easily. I plan on making many sub-sites each with their own template and content pages but they all share the same forum.
I have a few options but I wanted to see if there are any php experts on here that can help me see others or point me in the right direction.
1. Keep Postnuke and Pay someone to connect postnuke users with VB users and integrate the forums in.
2. Customize one of the third party apps of vb like gars, vbadvanced or webtemplates to do what I need and port over the 1200 article in postnuke to Vb.
3. Create a whole new content engine that uses VB templates and pages and port over 1200 articles over.
4???
What do you guys recommend? I really don't like option 3 just because it forces me to recreate the wheel, I basically have to go through all the features that I want and hope I don't miss any and include it in the job description but I am open to anyone's suggestion.
I only have a limited budget so I want to do this right.My sites need to look professional, the forums are only part of the site, Not the whole site if you know what I mean.
Also I checked out VBDirectory.info (http://www.vbdirectory.info/index.php?module=Pagesetter&tid=1&filter=category^sub^33&cv=33) under CMS and see three there are there more?
I appreciate any and all responses.
Thanks
