(total geek mode ON)
Just wondering if any of the web-geek-oriented Dopers out there can throw out some recommendations for a free content management system. A brief search of the field turns up hundreds of stuff, way too much for me to sift through, so I thought asking the SDMB hivemind might be a more productive approach.
Currently, I’m looking for something with the following features:
[ul]
[li]Free (natch)[/li][li]Not restricted in page layout/design[/li][li]Works with PHP, JSP, or some other language that works well with HTML[/li][li]Plays nice with CSS[/li][li]Doesn’t require cryptic URLs[/li][li]Doesn’t require extensive SQL expertise[/li][/ul]
Basically, I’m envisioning some sort of CMS that will let me upload/enter content via a web-based interface, where I can then write web pages and scripts to access/manipulate/display that content as I see fit.
I looked briefly at PHP-Nuke, but rejected it because everything is built around the same three-column layout. PHPcms also seems promising, but I don’t know if its lack of a database limits it to text-only content.
But again, I’m barely getting into this area right now; what do you recommend?
