    Real good content management system ?

    Hello everyone,

    I'm getting somewhat annoyed about how many cms's
    there are in PHP/MySQL while so few are really good.
    Yesterday I started to like ezPublish, until I decided
    the template language is ugly and the process for creating
    a maintenance template for a content class is not logical.

    I'm starting to think I should write my own cms, but that
    will increase the leadtime for my site enormously.
    So I would like to know from you if you know a cms that ..

    - Is free and open source
    - Is PHP/MySQL based ( usable with just about any host )
    - Doesn't enforce site/navigation structure
    - Has a WYSIWYG editor or one can easily be plugged in
    - Has a forum module
    - Is also an application framework with good
    separation of content, code and layout.
    - Does not have its own insane template language
    - Supports a moderation process for content
    - Has an intuitive process for creating maintenance forms
    for posting and maintaining content.

    I think Zope comes close, but that's Python :-(

    Best regards,

    Eric

          Try looking through http://www.opensourcecms.com/ for some ideas. e107 is
          pretty nice. Then there's Mambo, which has a big following.

              Is this even possible? I do not see how it can be a CMS if it has no
              navigation structure. Explain, please?

              I have never seen one worth a damn.
