i m building a website that provides travel info etc, and it is expected to have a great click rate. i dicided to adopt php to build this site, there is the question that confused me: plone or xoops, which one is more stable, operational on use? or maybe which one has better capability to support more users online simultaneously?

and i heard that mmcache is a good tool to accelerate php site. is it suitable for xoops / plone?


thanks for the kindly advice.

anyone knows pls?

The one major difference is that xoops uses php and plone uses python.

I looked at both of these, and others, over a year ago. They were either too complex (in the case of Plone/Zope) or not functional enough (in the case of XOOPS).

I d/l Plone 2.0 a few days ago. Not bad at all (it's really improved), but you have to join an annoying mailing list to get support. It really depends on what you want to use it for, what kinds of features you need. That's the most important thing to decide first.

I'm still researching (and right now looking hard at opencms) -- check out cms matrix if you want to compare and discuss pros/cons with ppl who know lots about this stuff. or you can go here and test-drive most any cms tool you like before installing a kind of try before you cry thing.

Plone is more about web content management (i.e. with workflow capabilities) for an intranet, while XOOPs seems to be more about community/forum portal-style sites.

By now they're both more than reasonably stable products. They can both handle plenty of concurrent users (more a function of how you've tweaked your web server. caching, load balancing, etc. -- do you really need all that?)

Did u setup the site finally using xoops?

286,

have you checked out Drupal? I like it better than almost any other CMS.

There is also DotNetNuke (it may be named "Nuke" but in no way resembles phpNuke) which I like a lot better than every other CMS (Drupal excepted) EXCEPT that it's married to Windows/IIS/SQL Server and the URLs and generated HTML are totally un-search-engine-friendly.

Oh wait, to be totally honest now that I think about it more, there are other things I dislike about DNN, but really I like Drupal and DNN the best out of all the open source CMS packages as of six months ago.

Thank you for the respond, the tips above are quite nice.

The reason I post the message is I looking for help if anyone makes xoops (one of the cms) work.

The basic configuration with MySql, php, phpMyAdmin, apache, dynamic dns account, domain name forward, settings in my router...... should be fine on my Linux box, but I still can not see the site work propertly, poor =(

There are quite a lot of topics about cms and I found some tips on it. I think I'd try the Drupal and hopes eveything is working. =)

I just want the simple website working.

Somehow I am not very comfortable with CMS. Somehow I've never been able to understand the concept behind it. And the admin panels are quite complex in many of them too.

However, the CMS matrix posted by hyper guy is quite cool for feature comparison and gives a fair idea of the scope of each tool.
