All the CMSs I've used have the ability to refer to a 'resource' that is in the file system. Some will *not* put things like images, icons, PDFs into the database. -- 'You know me,' said Rincewind.

So, what are the names of some of them, so I can look at them and decide. -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ - Tuning, Servicing & Rebuilding (314) 838-5587 / dahechler@att.net / www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com Home & Business user of Linux - 13 years -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

All the ones I've used have been based on Ruby. My favourite is Radiant. You will also find that many Wikis also put 'resources' in the file system rather than the database. -- "You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it." -- Margaret Thatcher -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I'm very happy with Joomla http://www.joomla.org/. My site is at http://brightonbelle.org/ I have images stored in the 'Picture Gallery'. These are not in the database, but stored in folders on the server.

I use Gallery 3, http://galleryproject.org/ very easy tool. I like it. If You wish really full-featured CMS, I like Drupal https://drupal.org/ All the best, Vojtěch -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux http://www.opensuse.org/ http://trapa.cz/
I found the PHP based CMSs such as Joomla and Drupal required a lot of work to set up compared to the Ruby based CMSs I've tried. I suspect its because of a programmer bias rather than a content editor bias. I do know PHP products can be easy to set up and use: Wordpress is an example of that. You can use Wordpress as a "CMS" if you squint a little, and its one of those 'elastic band' things where you can put more effort into it and uncover more options and plugins and if you are programming inclined customise it at the code level. And so too with the Ruby CMSs. I just think Ruby is easier to understand and the RoR model easier to work with, but that's me, and I'm biased and think that when I do put the effort in I want something productive rather than just wallowing in editing code. http://www.exist.com/blog/five-popular-ruby-rails-based-cms#.UjhFS1Qz7cs Most RoR CMSs work out of the box because they are implemented as GEMS - library modules in effect, and I've found it easy to set up templates. Certainly easier than when I tried with Drupal. "Radiant" seems to be the reference standard, although right now it is behind the curve as it is being completely rebuilt for Rails3. If you can live with running the 0.9 with Rails2 then it has a fantastic number of plugins available. And they aren't, as is the case with something like Wordpress, variations on a theme -- they are different and are useful. If I were starting over, I'd try "Locomotive" first and hope that https://github.com/svenfuchs/adva-cms2 works out soon. http://blog.arunace.com/12-ruby-on-rails-content-management-systems-cms/ -- "Context is everything" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
