Good cms to use along side vb?

[mmw]

Hey just wondering if anyone knows of good content management system's that work well with vb3 ?
So far I,ve found Nephp Publisher & Miraserver which seem ok.
Tempted by both but if there's better ones people know of it would be helpful
Thanks.

there have been a ton of discussions about this exact thing.. if you do a quick search, it should turn up quite a few results.. include in your search these terms: portals, cms*, vBindex, vBadvanced..

just have a look at the results generated by those searches and you should be able to come up with adequate results that give you enough info to make a determination or allow you to keep searching.. also check the vB.com forums.. there are several portal/cms based solutions mentioned over there, as well..

Cheers for your reply i,ve searched loads everywhere belive me
I'm not really into the portals like vbindex etc
Just want a good solid cms for managing lots of pages, reviews etc with some form of intergration with vb.

there really isn't, what i would consider, a good CMS with vB integration.. you can always have a look at the miraserver deal.. but with the lack of updates on his forums, i question it, to an extent for the kinda bread he is asking.. also, no integration, but quality work, look into Mambo.. http://www.mamboserver.com

very nice deal there.. and of course there is always PHPNuke and PostNuke.. also, vBportal.. but i hear they may be having issues.. http://www.vbportal.com

i have been looking into typo3 recently.. http://www.typo3.org

but that is an extreme CMS.. of the calibur of something like Vignette.. not easy to setup, configure.. but hands down the very best free/open source based CMS there is.. Built in scripting language and template system from the get go.. but as i said, extremely complex..

Just trying out typo3 at the moment, very complex like you said but seems promising.
I can't belive its free

Cool.. Let me know what you think of it when you have had a bit of time to work with it all.. I wish i had more time to donate to messing with it, but as it is now, i have only had time to get it installed once, and yet to have a real chance of configuring it..

I agree... Typo3 looks like a killer-app... just look at its official tutorial section... those videos are amazing. Unfortunately, I think it is also an over-kill for my needs... so I go with something like Mambo instead.

Well, the reason I originally looked into it is to do a huge content site dedicated to all the games running under a specific engine and discuss the engine technology and things like that.. That right there is enough information to choke a horse.. But those plans are put on hold for now because of a couple of other ideas that are now in the forefront of my mind..

But I will be using typo3 on something at somepoint.. It is too nice of a piece of software not to get used on something.. Not to mention, as far as content management, I doubt there is anything in the Open Source world that will even compare with its ability..

Well, I'm working on a phpNuke integration with VB now. I'm currently rewriting the stories module so that it will post articles into the designated forum. Basically, you'd have a forum or set of forums that form a topic, like football, baseball, etc grouped into a sports topic.

The sports topic will have its own unique portal, ie Nuke will be modified from a single to a multi-portal. The portal will display all sports articles. the articles link back to the forum where the discussion on the article takes place.

You can queue articles for future submission. Even though they're in the database, they'll become active on the release date, at which time they'll appear on the portal and the thread will be created in the proper forum.

You will be able to create articles with no discussion - such as website announcements. They'll appear on the particular portal, but the thread that is created will be immediately closed.

Also you can set an article kill date. On that date, it becomes an inactive article and the tread is closed. It can still be viewed in the article archives, but it will not appear on the portal.

At present, the work is 70% done. I am planning on releasing this as VB3Nuke during the first week of May.

I,ve given up on typo3 as its an complete overkill for my needs
Looks really good FASherman.
I take it the template system will be pretty much the same as phpnuke or will it be able to use your own forum styles?
keep up the good work on it.
