Shoutbox

want a CMS package that has moderators rather then admins ? basically i'm trying to make 3 slightly different sites(likely to rise to 15/20+), but have them all use the same database. so that i could be super-admin over all 3 sites, but then have admin/moderators that could only look after the separate articles/custom pages/pics that are to do with their club.

superadmin - would be the yellow box
moderator team 1 - would be the red box
moderator team 2 - would be the blue box
moderator team 3 - would be the green box


i've tried php-nuke, and php-fusion, but both only seem to allow control over nothing or the whole website. i guess with quite abit of editing you could change this, but i don't really know what i'm doing, plus i'm been lazy as the sites have little to do with me.

Couldn't you just set multiple instances of the same cms up and give each team the admin user of each one. And then maybe make another than contains nothing but links to the other three systems.

Just a suggestion.

Or you could try this site and select the features you need:

Good luck

no, then they'd running off different databases (and i don't want different databases to look after).

When you are installing most cms systems, they will allow you to put a table prefix in... this allows you to run multiple cms systems in the same databse.

For example you give each team a prefix. Then when the system comes to creating tables it will put the prefix in front of all the table names. Doing this makes sure that none of the tables are overwritten by the other versions of the same cms.

Yet, I have to admit it can be a bit of a pain maintaining all the tables. So yeah you probably are better off looking for a system that comes with the features you need built in.

why is it so hard to find what i want doesn't help that the search on that site doesn't work any more

Hmm... well I've just done a bit of searching for you on google.
I found this:
http://www.midgard-project.org/midgard/1.8/
Seen that one yet?

And I'll update this post with a few more if I find any... but that looks like what you need


EDIT:
I'm all out now, can't seem to be able to find any more...
Mambo looks like it might be able to do it, but while I've been using it I've never seen anything like that... Could always try it though:

couldn't find anything on there website about been able to do it, so haven't tested.

openphpnuke says it should be able to do what i want, however after 3 days of trying. i still can't do anything, mainly because they admin set-up is shite.

Well sorry I couldn't be any more help, but good luck with getting midgard set up. And hopefully it does what you want

Well, check this website out: http://www.opensourcecms.com/

There are a LOT of cms there...
