I have a custom made website and right now each time I want to put some news on the front page of my site I have to edit the HTML and then re-upload via ftp.
I'm trying to find a simple feature/program that will allow me to post news to my site without manually having to edit the html and possibly allowing it to have comments.
I've tried wordpress but that seems to have too many features. For example it makes me pick a template, which I don't need because I have a custom website. And it has categories, archives, etc. I don't need all of that.
Any suggestions?
wordpress is quite lightweight imo, but if you think it's too big, you might want to use one of these: http://web.appstorm.net/roundups/self-publishing/10-ultra-lightweight-cmses-for-simple-projects/
Develope your own. Shouldn't take more than a couple of hours.

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 am currently working on a content management system to be used by future clients sites. The project is currently in its infancy, and whilst thinking through some of the workings I have come across an issue.
I want the CMS to be very easy to use and edit site content, and add new content with minimal technical knowledge for the end user. What I am struggling with is creating a page designer for the admin backend. It will essentially allow the admin of the site to add new content, whether it be image, text, a twitter feed or some custom HTML. My aim is for it to be similar to the content editor used by Concrete5. I have done research and tried to figure out how they do it, but it has alluded me. Unlike Concrete5 I am hoping mine will just display simple blocks in the editor, rather than editing the full site. The blocks will then be stored in a database individually and then output when the page is requested.
I have experimented with the jQuery UI, using draggable elements and constraining them to a set layout, which seems okay but it is not ideal.
I am flexible to changing the way of doing this and very open to any suggestions you can give.
Sounds like you want the admin-users to be able to add some sort of widgets to the site. I would take a look at how for instance Kentico CMS is solving this: http://www.kentico.com/Product/All-Features/Content-Management/Widgets. You may download a free demo from http://www.kentico.com/Download-Demo/Trial-Version.
I want to, create blog page in my website.
There are bunch of huge blogging platforms such as: Wordpress, Blogger ... But the problem is, they are offering a loads of unneeded functions. Of course, I can create simple blog. But it will cost a lots of time and I don't want to reinvent the wheel.
So what I need is, "core" functions of blogging system such as:
Adding, removing, editing posts, inserting attachments, images o posts
Pagination
I don't want to integrate wordpress because of reasons that I explained above.
Any suggestions?
I used cutewnews for a while when I was new to coding (http://cutephp.com) it's pretty much the same as a blogging system. Create posts, edit posts, archive posts, categories, template is very customizable, allow/block comments, require users to register in order to add comments, block IPs, WYSIWYG editor, etc. It's all done in the back end and then you add a few lines of code in your page and the posts will appear. You can also designate how many you want to display per page. It's simple but effective and free. I believe there is a link at the bottom of the script going back to http://cutephp.com/ but you should be able to find it and delete it. It takes about 2 minutes to install and get set up. You don't even need mysql. Will work with any php frame work or coding style as long as you have the ability to create your own blank page where you can plop the code.
Heres what I am trying to to:
I want to create a site which allows me to syndicate news from all over the web. I want this to be able to be categorized and possibly tagged.
The process:
I find an article I like, go to my CMS, and add it to my site. To do this I simply want to add a title of an article, a small description, and possibly and image. Then, categorize it, add some tags to it.. and submit it. Now it would appear on my site.
What do you recommend as the CMS of choice? I am thinking wordpress may do the trick?
Any suggestions?
My choice would CMS-Made Simple .
Yes, wordpress would be the way to go. You can type the articles and categorize/tag them. You can also install plugins which will read through RSS feeds you add to create links to other sources of new automatically.
The plgun in question is : FeedWordpress
I would like to know if there's a PHP CMS which makes things like editing a block of text easy.
It also should let the user separtare content in columns.
I'm using Wordpress right now, but it seems like the only way of letting the user add content is in form of posts.
Any suggestions?
Take a look at MojoMotor it's different from the standard CMS packages and is based off CodeIgniter.
Joomla is the Answer. It has all the properties you mentioned
Wordpress allows adding pages too. These live outside the blog and are not automatically shown in the blog index.
