Is there a CMS that can manage content on a site without having to implement a template?
I've already designed a site with XHTML and CSS, so don't need a template, but do need active content management in static places, such as articles on the homepage and on a couple of other pages.
Preferably open-source all the way, and tableless layout.
You'll need to add the active content parts to your designed site. That means you are creating a template.
A solution could be wordpress. It allows to add small dynamic parts to your site and has a relatively low learning curve. It's open source too.
I've seen WordPress's backend used as a CMS without a front end template. They used WordPress to write, organize, and otherwise manage content, but used their existing site plus a few database queries to pull in the content from WP.
It may be easier to just create a basic WordPress template from your existing site's design. It takes about 10 minutes when you've done it a lot, or a few hours for a newbie.
Try Cute News.

It will allow you to add new articles, and you can implement it into your current design easy.
Yes. Serene CMS. It allows you to use a powerful WYSIWYG editor and insert that content wherever you want with one line of code.

As mentioned in my previous question, I happened to see this site 22words.com and just can't figure out a few things:
1) in the source code, it seems the name of the WP theme is "twentytwo" but there's no such a theme in existence. How could this be possible? Maybe they used another theme and renamed it to "twentytwo"? Is that do-able? How to actually do it? Or maybe they just custom-made the theme and gave it a name called "twentytwo"?
2) Some posts have a big green "read more" button (e.g. twentytwowords.com/if-you-have-keys-and-a-purse-or-know-someone-who-does-youve-lived-some-version-of-this-story/) how does this work? If I want to mimic this approach for long posts, what's the best way of doing it?
3) The top navigation bar have drop-down menus such as "latest posts" and "popular posts" in the respective categories. Is all this a gimmick or not? I mean, what's being shown are actually "latest" and "popular" posts, or is it just BS and there's no stats to back up "popular"? If it's not gimmick, then how is it implemented? Which plug-ins are in place to calculate traffic and generate "popular" posts?
Any help would be much appreciated!
lets get this done quickly :)
1.) I guess they have made an own theme and named it that way.
2.) In the editor you have a "readmore" tag
if you click this you will insert a special line / markup.
Now your theme nees a call for this line
"Excerpts (teasers) can be shown on WordPress through two methods:
The first, keeping the the_content() template tag and inserting a quicktag called more at your desired "cut-off" point when editing the post.
The second, by replacing the the_content() template tag with the_excerpt()."
Here is all you need: Link to wordpress documentation the excerpt
3.) There are quite a lot of ways to do that. You could order posts by popularity by the number of comments or the number of views or the number of shares. There a loads of tutorials on the web to do so. It's so simple it would be sad to use a plugin AND: you could learn a lot from it...
tutorial by view is here: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-track-popular-posts-by-views-in-wordpress-without-a-plugin/
tutorial by number of comments is here: http://www.jafaloo.com/how-to-display-popular-posts-in-wordpress/
all the best

I have created my own wiki using mediawiki. Now I would like to know if it is possible to dynamically include articles from an external wiki.
For example, if my wiki does not contain an article about the topic "potato" and a user visits the page "mysite.com/wiki/potato", I would like to display on this page the potato-article of wikipedia.org (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato).
Is there a php solution (using the wikipedia-api) which can accomplish this?
There are several possible approaches. Here are some rough ideas:
With the ExternalData extension you can pull in data from Wikipedia's API.
The Anysite extension can put any other page in an iframe. You would probably want to use a rendered version of the page, and somehow add back the CSS to make it look good.
Both of these don't solve the issue of someone landing on a page that does not exist yet. You can take a look at the code of the Special404 extension for some ideas to get started. And if you start hacking something yourself you probably don't need the above extensions anymore.
But you should be aware of the problems with what you want to do. Are you sure you want to have all URLs that work on Wikipedia be valid URLs on your wiki? Are you okay with creating heaps of duplicate content?

I'm looking for a few recommendations for a light weight CMS that is easily editable by an intermediate-beginner PHP person - me. I'm not adverse to making my own, but I would much rather have such things like error handling laid out for me in advance. However, there are lots of "custom" sections to this website, like a member directory, coupon generator, form creator, etc. that it would need to be flexible and allow me to build on it. I don't need forums or other social media stuff, not even a blog.
Any hints, ideas? I can Thanks so much!
I personally would recommend Wordpress as it uses a pretty basic system, and the output is extremely user compatible, the plugin range is great and the support is that bit better.
The problem with this question is that its a question that does not have a direct answer, as the CMS You will use would be down to what you feel comfortable in it may not be the system anyone else would use.
Wordpress is a blogging system but can be used in many ways, There are so many big names using the system and i think this would be a great starting point for you.
Try WordPress / Drupal / MODx / Joomla.
98% of Content Management Systems are easy editable and add-on-able. Everybody chooses the CMS to his own taste.
If you're looking for something a little more lightweight:

Have a look at this:- http://webdesignledger.com/tools/10-simple-and-light-weight-cms-solutions
Also have a look at this CMS: GetSimple
GetSimple is an open source CMS that
utilizes the speed and convenience of
XML, a best-in-class UI and the
easiest learning curve of any simple
Content Management System out there.

I am looking to add some dynamics to our corporate website. This is a secondary role so I'd rather not be spending a ton of time on it.
At this point, all I need is a simple PHP script where a non-technical user can pull up and manage the records in a MySQL table. There's only one table of data to be managed; it's just that it will be accessed and updated quite frequently.
I recall that Grails' default scaffolding feature has precisely this: list of entries with the ability to add, edit and delete, with no nonsense.
What would be the best tool to use for this? I would rather not be writing it from scratch, as this will take me quite some time.
It seems like the kind of thing that ought to exist somewhere.
Thanks!
Have a look at Xataface. It's essentially a CRUD interface to your db. It's straightforward to install, open source and can be styled to match your corporate intranet.
for the db script, I recommend phpMyAdmin. It requires sql knowledge to do complex things, but simple operations are made friendly.
If you are looking for similar functionality of Rails, there is CakePHP, which can automatically generate code for scaffolded views to add, edit, view and delete records.

It is built on laravel, easy to install, endless possibilities.

Can anyone suggest a CMS able to offer the following features:
Free/open source
Support for multiple languages (both frontend and backend)
Support for translating content (i.e. an article can have 1+ translations)
Support for different content types, namely pages, articles (timestamped, with comments) and image (galleries).
Support for basic categorization (just a level of sections is sufficient)
Support for media management (localizable image galleries)
User friendly
lightweight and fast
PHP or Ruby based
mature enough
Personally, I can only think of Drupal 6, but it's quite an overkill for what I want to do, and localization is not working 100%. I basically can live with anything which was built from the ground up with localization in mind.
After days of looking around and tryng out various demo site, SPIP seems to be the only proper solution to my problem. Any other idea?
Daisy was built from the ground-up with localization in mind.
In Daisy, each document can have one or more language variants, and Daisy tracks whether the source document and the translated variant are in-sync or not. This makes it very easy to manage change.
For example, I can ask Daisy 'Give me a list of documents for which either the Japanese translation doesn't exist, or it is not longer in sync with the original'. You can do this for any file type, including screenshots.
I think it hits all of your requirements except that it's built on the Java stack.
How about Joomla? I'm not sure if it fulfills all your requirements, but it's a suggestion nonetheless.
Probably under-kill, but WordPress with the qTranslate plugin works well for i18n of the admin interface plus the main content block of your page.
