Hello all,
With Kris's excellent new logo, I was wondering if anyone knew of a good
replacement for e107 to make the site look at bit better to match the
quality of the logo.
Any ideas would be gratefully welcomed (remember I only have ftp access to
the site, so setup would have to be straight forward!)

"windows must be the best, everyone else uses it"
"lets get an ipod, cause everyone has one"
"lets buy a red car, so we can be like the neighbours!"
sound similar? ... lol
IMHO joomla isn't the best CMS out there, why not compare them and
give your constructive opinion, compile a shortlist and vote... or
just have dave choose!

I only vote Joomla because we have somebody on hand who actually knows
about it :-)

I'm back from the dead!!
Right first things first. I've tried pretty much all the suggestions
so far, most of them are shit Plone is crap Drupal is pretty tight but
slightly unforgiving in the customisation area, PHP-Nuke is a bit
basic in respect of add-ons.
So what can I say about Joomla? Well for starters I've used it and its
for runner Mambo for, hm, five odd years? I like it that much that
I've spent about £150 on one or two proprietary modules and templates
over the last couple of years.
Now I'm not foolish enough to say Joomla is the number one but it is
the best of the bunch plus with Joomla 1.5 ftp is handled within
Joomla itself (After initial ftp upload of the site) TBH any idiot can
'work the site' from the control panel its really simple, New-->type
title-->type text--publish front page-->save anyone can do that!
I've just purchased a new template for my site and used the customised
Joomla they provided it has everything you guys need, Fireboard Forum,
Community builder etc etc.
The beauty of Joomla is there are loads and loads of add-on freebie
modules for it which with a little easy peasy work can make your site
look stunning.
P. S. Heres my touché
Ubuntu must be the best everyone uses it.
I use Ubuntu cos I'm a sheep and everyone else uses it.
If its decided to go down the Joomla route I'm happy to help/advise
however what ever you guys choose I'll be happy with although one
question I've not seen raised as such, are we sticking with a 'mailing
list' or switching to a forum based system?

System packages are regularly updated and an ISO release is just a
snapshot to the stable packages at that time. So there's no need for a
fresh install the command 'pacman –Syu' upgrades the whole system.

Well.. What can I say.. In the words of Cmndt. Eric Lassard. There have been
many, many, Many, many wonderful suggestions, all of which I am considering.
With the help of the friendly sysadmin (thank you up there!), more doors
have been opened up.
Had a quick look at Joomla (even the youtube video!), seems ok. But if
anyone has any reservations about it, speak now!
Thanks for all the posts by the way :o)
Dave

I believe you do
"lets get an ipod, cause everyone has one"
I'm sure you do
"lets buy a red car, so we can be like the neighbours!"
Do you have a car yet?
