I set up an affiliate program, and I buy one software… and you buy one software… I give you 50 dollars back through paypal
There is nowhere listed that says we can’t do this…
There’s nothing wrong with it… It’s not like i’m doing anything against copyright laws… just an affiliate program
if your interested pm me
Sounds legit to me–it’s all within their guidelines.
Actually, I really, really need a PHP CMS, and I’ve been hoping that the Invision Power one would be ready soon, but there’s no way to tell how long it’ll be.
biggazilla - is there a preview/demo of power one’s cms? Went to check out their website, but don’t see anything written about it.

No demo, but this page is powerd by IPDynamic. That’s the only one I know about.
I hate when people try to sell software and don’t offer a demo… That’s like putting a car for sale in the newspaper with no price… (i guess) lol…
But screen captures, pictures and such doesn’t take the place of a good demo…
I can see if someone is offering free software and no demo… fine with me… he doesn’t have to put a demo out…
But if theirs no demo… I don’t buy! 
Not sure if this post is in reference to my post about IPDynamic, but in case it is, I should say that IPDynamic is still being built, and hasn’t even been released as a beta.
Needless to say, it’s not for sale yet.
It is… My bad… lol Tell me when it is for sale!
I’m checking their site every day to see when it’s ready, I can’t wait!
I’m currently tarting about with NePHP here. Nowhere near done yet, but so far it seems much better than anything else I’ve tried. I’ve also had no problems with answers to support emails. It is pricey, but worth it.
I just downloaded the Mambo zip file and I’m reading the install documentation and it’s like Greek to me. Is there anything I can just friggin upload and install??
I’ve installed it successfully.
When you download the file, try to use winRar instead of winzip.
Upload everything to your server.
CHMod all files instructed.
Edit the configuration.php file.
Upload the .sql database to your server.
Type into the admin URL and should take you to the login page.
I know installation can be very frustrating.
I had some difficulties. (like Typo3)
Wild Boar, did you get the SiteBox CMS?
no, I’m looking into siteworkspro new edition coming out or evo articles whenever it comes out… just depends on pricing
Wild Boar, can I still purchase the CMS through your affiliate and get fifty back? I am having some technical difficulties with Paypal at the moment.
PM sent.
Looks like NELOGIC needs to run their site through an HTML validator. It’s completely broken on browsers other than IE.

eZ system website is currently not working, either.
Here’s a bit of information on Content Management Systems available from SitePoint:
However, the Content Management System that sitepoint.com itself uses was coded completely by SitePoint for SitePoint and is not available.
Do you think it would be viable for me to say, create a script where people could add CMS’s to a list, which then could be search (i.e. free, code type (asp/php/perl) and what not?)
If anyone is interested, and thinks I should do it, say so… if anyone wants to give me a hand, PM me
Sounds like a good idea. What purpose would it serve that existing sites don’t? Just the searchable bit? Want me to split this to a different thread?
Split it if you want…
Im not sure if there is a listing of all the cms’s (only CMS) out there, all different platforms and what not… that I could make a searchable, addable directory

Okay I don’t think this one has been mentioned yet - http://www.e107.org
I’ve just converted my existing site over to this cms and can highly recommend it.
e107 basics:
Powered by php and mysql.
Fully customizable.
Plenty of plugins available.
Additional code can be added (such as Adsense).
Easy to install.
Ever expanding community willing to help.
No doubt someone will have issues with it but for me (a complete beginner with php) it was just what I was looking for.
Honestly, all I find that virtually all of the PHP CMS are horrible. Few do any of the basics well or easily and most are neverending works in progress that are never really “complete” at any given point in time. This shouldn’t be rocket science and I think that the day is soon when someone creates one that will clean up on the mediocrity. I think that there is very little direction in the Open Source world and a lot of fly by night creation with those trying to make a buck. It’s a half-a$$ed attempt that never gets completed or cleaned up. And there is no way on this earth I’d spend more than $250 on a script that does not have a solid user base and history of support (get the hint you guys trying to get us to pay $4-500 per license? We know you’re running your big company out of your basement.) For the most part, here is what I find:
Slash Family: A GUI you get when your coder spends too much time at the monitor and the rest on speed.
Nuke Family: Cleaned up GUI to some extent but still way waaay too busy and with more menu/text boxes than a moving company. Usually bloated code, security issues, slow, with unweildy code. Tries to conquer the world by creating a story-telling CMS and confuses all but those who have spent a significant time working with it.
Wikis: Usually technical works in progress and not flexible enough for a true CMS, IMHO.
Weblogs: Usually a log which is not a CMS. Best for personal use.
I will give some of the attempts credit and that they are getting there. Of the better ones I’ve seen is Article Manager – it’s clean, easy to use, has a nice look and easy to make look “professional” (ever look at the demos to siteworkspro? Yuck…) Unfortunately it’s in Perl, encoded, and uses a flat file, neither of the 3 I’d like to deal with. Too bad, I find it more focused than other attempts… What are my goals?
Easy to customize the look and feel (e.g., good use of css and template files.) W3c compatible, please? It’s hard to believe the jumbled mess that comes out of some of these generators…
Simple categorization of articles and archiving system.
Search engine friendly URLs.
Ability to have moderators approve article submission.
Bonus – ability to allow readers to comment on articles linked to a thread in a messaging forum software (Miraserver has tried this but unsuccessfully and does not link backwards.)
A lot of the other items can be handled by 3rd party software, e.g. newsletters.
Last but not least, I’d never go to hotscripts and NEVER trust the ratings there. They are biased. They do not approve some bad ratings of favorable software and vice versa. It’s remarkable how some of the ‘nukes’ have received so many good ones while friends whom I saw rate them poorly (intelligent reviews without expletives) had their reviews/ratings never appear. I would NOT trust hotscripts for your ratings. I’d say sooner go here and read substantive discussions…
Here’s looking at a new crop of CMS… or maybe my finding the time to do it myself the right way…
I found a new opensource php cms. Looks good.
