[help] User Login and Content Managemet

Hey everyone, first time here and first post as well. Thanks ahead of time for any help offered.

I have searched around for a small content management system that will allow users to create accounts and enter/change a few items. I have found some user login scripts and whatnot but nothing I can actually use. My knowledge of PHP and MySQL is very limited.

I run a guild for the game Dofus and I want to make users able to login and add/change a few pieces of information, such as; Name, Level, Alignment, Professions, etc... Maybe 5 or 6 items in all.

I found some CMS's but I don't want to go phpnuke or some such, and have a large thing going on. My web address for the time being is http://www.wk-emporium.com.

If anyone could point me in the right direction I would very much appreciate it. Perhaps there is someone who already created something I could use or, perhaps, would be willing to take this on. From the limited knowledge I do have, I know this isn't particularly difficult.

Thanks again,
Painful-One

I said I didn't want a large scale CMS. I am looking for something small and standalone.

Well, if you have any experience with PHP or MySQL, you could program this yourself fairly easily. If not, you are going to have a hard time finding a CMS that stores fields like "Alignment" and "Level". CushyCMS is a very easy to use system that handles basic content, but not user login. Wordpress handles content well, and login but won't have the fields you are looking for. I've heard good things about Concrete5 and Frog, but I have never used them. Hope this helps.

Would there happen to be a place I can check that has scripts and not CMS's per se?

I would suggest checking out one of the frameworks. Several already contain user login/management and other features: http://www.phpframeworks.com/index.php

I like CakePHP, but Zoop and Seagull are probably closer to a CMS that should be easier for an inexperienced person to get going.
