PHP blogging software
Posted: Sat May 13, 2006 6:36 pm
Before you answer, please avoid just submitting links as I too know how to use Google...
What I am looking for is hardened experience with people that have used blogging software...
Here are my requirements:
1) Nice interface (hard to judge as my tastes are likely differ than yours)...but...I hate using software with a crappy interface...gimme a CLI already
2) Articles...Not nessecarily sorted by date, but categorized with breadcrumb support for easy navigation and comments allowed for each.
2) Templated using Smarty or similar...I need total control over the way the articles are displayed and generated
3) I would like the ability to add photos for the blogging section...
Basically, I need a CMS but not the stupid over head...so simple blogging software should work ok...
I want an articles section where I can post some of my own articles, and if they could be paginated into *pages* that would be awesome too...
I also need a blogging section where I can post personal comments of the day...like god I hate bannana's or what music i'm listening too, etc...
Also if people could leave comments for both blogs and articles that would super cool
Remember I need a distinction between articles (and pages) from blog posts...
Blogs don't need to be paginated and should be sorted chronologically...
Articles should be initially sorted by date, but also be categorized...offering some form of breadcrumb navigation...
Multiple users would be cool, or rather I should say editors...incase I ever let anyone submit an article, they can edit their own...public signup is NOT required as I would only allow a limited few actually submit articles...but obviously access to the blogging section would not be cool...
The blogging section would be best if left to a sub-domain whereas articles, etc, would likely be left in main directory...
I imagine most blogs/CMS use a single index.php approach, so as long as I can copy the index into the sub-domain directory and change some configs and giver go...thats cool too
Anyways...not looking for just links, but your own personal experiences...
What did you like and why...what features did you most appreciate...or find handy or hate...
Ideally i'm looking for something nice and simple...to learn and use...
Cheers
