I'm searching for a good CMS that allows a user to simple edit data (rich edit form) from an SQL database and uploading files to a hosting, the admin chooses which data is editable and which not, also where to upload the images.
The goal is to fill in the database easy and datasafe (only admin-chosen rows are editable) and get the files into the correct folder user friendly.
The frontend of my website I have completely built in PHP with everything made changeable by the database
Does anybody know a good CMS system or opensource PHP code made for this?
I think the best choice for your requirement is Joomla. It has a rich set of built in functionality and also having thousands of extensions. You can go for joomla www.joomla.org
Drupal is your best choice. There are others like Joomla, PHPBB, etc.
For your info: Wikipedia has a full article about this.
This is a question of 7 years ago :)
Now I am a Wordpress professional and have made over 200 Wordpress websites.
I have also worked with Joombla and Drupal, but Wordpress is my CMS of choice now.

I am currently trying to build a website for a client using WordPress for a school project. The client requires a user system with a log in and storage of user permissions and information.I downloaded a plugin called Simple Membership because it had the best reviews for user membership plugins.
The biggest problem I am experiencing at the moment is the default contact information that comes with the plugin is not the information I wish to store. I need other fields to be stored. I am a developer so I first took a look at the code using FTP and made a few changes just to the registration form to show off to the client for the first iteration.
I have now been made aware that when updating the plugin all of my changes will be overridden. I am here to ask if there is an efficient way to make changes to a plugin without creating a new plugin(does not seem practical, I need to change the function of this plugin not just add to it). At the moment that is the only solution I am aware of. Can someone point me in the right direction?
It may not be the best solution but it's practical on your case.Take a backup of your formula plugin and re install it if a new update comes in.
I have been trying to learn a CMS in php. Visited youtube for tutorials. Joomla & Wordpress.
But when they develop a website using a CMS, I didn't see any php code. It's all just working from a dashboard like building a blog.
I am confused about that.
Don't we have to write code in CMS like we do in Core PHP??
Hi using a CMS you can create a website simply... Wordpress is one of the best content manage system... actually they developed it for easy customization. Only using dashboard you can create pages,blogs etc only... If you want your own functionality You have to learn the coding structure and manual Plugin creation.
But the fact is You will get so many plugins from wordpress depending upon your requirement those it already developed.
As a beginner you can use CMS to create a complete site, but to add any real functionality to create specialist sites you will probably have to write you own plugins and/or themes at some point, or edit existing ones.
For this you will need php/jquery/html/whatever.
I just recently started working with a Magento site, and so far I'm really not liking it. I need to remove a couple links from the main navigation, but I can't seem to find the option for it. I've googled it numerous times, and all I see are examples for coding the navigation. My question is, can you edit the site navigation like you can with say wordpress? Seeing how it's a cms I'd imagine the user should be able to make changes to the navigation using some type of interface, and without having to pull the files from the server and edit them.
Also just out of curiosity, for anyone experienced with Magento would you say it's a good choice for a cms? I've heard of it before, but haven't seen many sites that use it.
No!, so you have three options here.
Learn how to extend the navigation with the 100's of tutorials out there, it is really not that hard, assuming you have a theme you just have to edit app/design/frontend/[theme]/default/template/page/html/topmenu.phtml
Get an extension to do it for you.
Hire a developer to do it for you, we create a static block with installer for the html which make it slightly more user friendly to update in the future.
Stackoverflow is a bad place to ask questions like this, it is aimed at programmers and doing such a procedure is rudimentary stuff, I really hope you are a client trying to be cheap rather than someone who claims they can run this site.
Edit: The cms features are ok but you need to be able to code to set them all up so the end user can make the changes with WYSIWYG.
If you don't want to code for navigation then you can do below things
1) Create category and then Display Settings=>Display Mode=>static block only and Display Settings=>CMS Block=>static block name. In static block u can include in page url or custom page
2)You need to hire developer
If you're using Magento and have an integrated WordPress blog, it's possible to design a completely custom menu in the WordPress Admin using the menu builder. You have complete control over what menu items you want and the hierarchy of each item.
To get this to work, you need to integrate your WordPress blog using WordPress Integration in full integration mode. Your Magento template also has to be using the default Topmenu block.
I know very little of WP aside form it being a CMS geared towards (or started from) blogging, but may people have found the product capable of functioning as their sites CMS.
I was recently asked to write a PHP app to signup, (with email confirm and email notification to admin), login to make and manage orders. - so a user can register and get an email confirmation... once they are approved, they can log in, and place an order. and manage their information. There is also an admin section to manage the users and requests... ALL very straight ahead.
So I write it - and test it and everything is fine... Until the client tells me that it's going to be part of a WP site.
Problem, the client ONLY knows HTML, NOT PHP... I don't know WP.
When I upload a directory to the root - and try to run the app, I get redirect to /$url .. and a page not found displaying in the WP theme.
I have a feeling it has to do with the AUTH module I'm using... but there is a huge BIG PICTURE issue I need to conquer - how to integrate an existing PHP app into a WP site...
Q: how do I reference and use the WP emailing system?
thx - I know it's a broad question. but if someone can point me into a direction...
I have read the post regarding templates in WP and setting up a template with PHP code so it's executed... but it seems 'wrong' to have to create a template for each php page.
What your app is about ? If you got only the Auth module already coded you should only import user and password because WP does this out-of-the-box.
Wordpress can be twist up for your need but you need to do it in the WP way :).
If you want to add some functions to it check out the plugin library on wordpress.org. If you know wordpress and no plugin match your needs then the best way to go is writing your own plugin : https://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin
Or maybe just add your custom functions into functions.php, see https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development#Functions_File
For pages, you basically have to type of it in WP : articles - i.e. blog posts - and the static pages. You can add some custom one check https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types
I know this answer is more a bunch of links but if you don't nothing about WP you should first learn how it works before try to hack it.
Hope it helps !
I am working on a joomla website but as I am new to joomla so I dont know exactly how to write a data uploading form for an administrator.Actually I want to make a form for administrator through which he will be uploading information about properties ,few pictures and some other information in the form of textfields , comboboxes and radio buttons.Once the data uploads then user will be able to search these properties by providing some information (in the form of textfields,comboboxes etc ).I know how to do these things in other own written websites but don't know how to do it in joomla.As far as I know there are a lot of extensions but they are very costly thats why I want to do it myself
'very costly' is a very subjective term. I've rarely seen a Joomla add-on cost more than £30 or £50 (approx $50 - $80). Some add-ons are more perhaps double this - but they tend to be full apps that will just drop in and run a full business.
http://docs.joomla.org/ and in particular this page:
http://docs.joomla.org/Component_Development
should be your starting points.
As you are just starting out you probably want to follow the Joomla 1.7 items where possible. Where not possible Joomla 1.6 is almost identical internally.
Browse the code of the 'core' components that ship with Joomla - within the /components/ and /administrator/components/ folders. Download extensions from the JED (Joomla Extensions Directory) http://extensions.joomla.org/ and pick those apart too.
