Very dissapointed by this CMS. The calendar doesn't work like it should, gallery "integration" is a pain, recaptcha on articles doesn't work. The plugin API's "documentation" is a joke.
Avoid.

Serendipity is one very good and solid piece of software... try it out, install the Spartacus plugin, you'll be amazed. Better than WP
Posted By: Judebert on April 17 2008 01:12 pm
OpenSourceCMS shows only the basic installation of Serendipity (s9y), which is fast and lightweight for blogging. But with its central repository of themes and plugins, Serendipity can do so much more!
The SPARTACUS plugin gives you access to the repository. Check out [spartacus.s9y.org] to see what's available! Unfortunately, OpenSourceCMS won't let you install new plugins or themes from the repository. At your own website, it's a one-click process to modify Serendipity to do almost anything you want!
Here at OpenSourceCMS, you can check out the Bulletproof template. It allows customization of tabs, links, and appearance from a simple web interface. (Just remember to clear your cache so you can see the new style.)
Serendipity is fast and easy for beginning bloggers, with powerful plugins and themes. Web designers will appreciate its Smarty template system. Advanced users will love the elegant code and customization possibilities. And support is amazing at the Serendipity forums.
I highly recommend Serendipity for anyone who wants dynamic content on their website!

Hi All,
I have played with Serendipity and quite frankly, love it. Check out keyword Bulletproof template on google. A great template that is fully customizable and looks great regardless the browser you are using. That alone makes Serendipity the standard to beat. Encore!

* amazing perspecuity
* permission system by category flexible by defining groups
* but only flat single category layer...no tags
* syndication by category
* WYSIWYG editor? (Works on IE5+, partially in Mozilla 1.3+)
* excellent import from all other blog engines!
* full rss feed export
* nice templates and skinning options

Clean and well-structured Frontend. AdminPanel is somehow untidy: Many clicks to get back to starting point after an action. Excellent handling of images; photo-blogging is fun with this blog. Nice plugins (FAQ, static-pages).
A little slow to me, wordpress is only better in speed, text-handling and handling of static-pages.
Posted By: Sebastyne on October 13 2006 06:59 am
I was disapointed after these praises to find that it didn't support multi blogs - just multi user. I couldn't find a plugin to add that either. This was after spending hours trying to get the custom setup to work but had to do a simple setup in the end. However it is great for what it can do, but it's not better than LiveType, which has that certain something about it.
Posted By: sprocket on October 12 2006 09:48 am
Blogs are pretty crowded territory these days, however this one rises above the crowd by a long way. Wordpress people love Wordpress and Textpattern people love Textpattern. You will never change their minds. However for everyone else, this is the best blog, bar none. Very intuitive Admin, and in the advanced mode everything is configurable. It is a system you can grow with and the quantity and quality of plug-ins is very impressive.
This is a mature system and it shows. Nothing is wasted and everything has a place clearly and logically designed and carried out.
Check it out...you won't be sorry!

Serendipity is a really great weblog software, simple and yet advanced. Have been using it for quite sometime now, and i can tell you this, it's excellent. Posting an entry is easy, making a template for serendipity is totally uncomplicated, and you just got to love the amount of plugins that they have. I have written the top 5 reasons why i chose serendipity over other weblog software, you may find it here http://technovice.net/archives/31-Top-5-Reasons-Why-Serendipity-Is-Better.html

This is one of the best blogging programs out there. Serendipity was very easy to set up. The administration features were intuitive and easy to navigate. The one problem I did have with Serendipity had to do with its trackback tool. I have gotten the following errors when I link to other blogs. 'The autodiscovered trackback URI does not match our target URI' 'Trackback failed: No trackback-URI found'. The Serendipity website (http://www.s9y.org/48.html) describes these errors and recommends that you download a plugin. However the link to the plugin doesn't seem to be working. - http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/php-blog/additional_plugins/serendipity_event_trackback/ Overall I highly recommend Serendipity to anyone who is looking for blogging software.
Posted By: Chris on April 25 2006 03:59 am
To the reviewer who said 'The only thing missing to Serendipity is the ability to create HTML pages next to the blog.' - There is an auto module called Static Page that allows you to create a static text page that is not part of the blog. The static page allows HTML code.
Posted By: Jesse Collins on March 29 2006 01:31 am
This is the first CMS that I have used and I think it is unbelievable. The administration tools are extremely in depth and easy to use. I was initially thinking of writting my own CMS from scratch but once I fiddled with Serendipity I decided that I couldn't do any better myself. I would highly recommend Serendipity to anyone.
Posted By: Owen Stubbs on March 20 2006 09:11 am
You will simply not find a better blogging solution anywhere! I have never experienced a greater level of support from developers and users alike. Never. Every single question I ever posted on their forums was answered completely, and quickly. The main site is mostly a wiki, which can be a real turn off to some. I personally think they should implement more of a dot com front end. However, get to their forums at http://www.s9y.org/forums/index.php, and users there will help you find anything, and everything, you need. On a scale of 1-10, this solution, and its developers and users, are an 11... or a 20... or a 100! You get my point!

I just installed S9y and have found it a lot easier than wordpress or the other major blog software packages because of the sidebar menu in the admin section. I've also tried out the Zen Package for the online store that I've got and that is pretty nice too. Easy enough for someone that would rather spend more time on the Digital Scrapbooking within the site than the site management.
Posted By: Carl Galloway on December 20 2005 02:25 am
I couldn't believe how fantastic this blog engine was when I first started blogging. The ability to auto-install plugins, and not have to edit your template files to make them work is just brilliant. The Srendipity community is very supportive, and the developers aren't too busy to chat to new users.
Posted By: tigger on November 27 2005 07:48 am
After looking at many blogs on this list, Serendipity stands out in many respects. It's auto plugin system works like a dream, and the developers always respond to support questions. A very friendly community
It's worth perserving with Serendipity to find out what it can do.
The only thing it lack is a true multi-blog enviroment, but with a powerful permissions system, you can can get round this
Excellent blog/cms

For some reason I cannot get the syndication fature to work on the blog. I have been trying to see if I need a plugin or something. the blog url is http://www.futurosusa.com/serendipity
Posted By: David Rolston on September 24 2005 04:06 am
There are few things I think set Serendipity apart. First the wealth of features and plugins. Serendipity developers support smarty templating, SEF url's, anti-spam and captchas, and with spartacus, download and installation of plugins from their central repository with a click. The wealth of great plugins makes this blog capable of doing what many CMS systems do. There's download management, media management, color syntax highlighting for various computer languages, static pages,wysiwig editor integration, keyword rewriting... the list goes on and on. The biggest problem serendipity currently has is in clarifying which plugins help with which problems. Secondly, the architecture is very clean, and adequately documented, so that developers should feel comfortable getting involved. Like any project of its type, it could do more along these lines, and it's outward image is probably the thing that keeps it from getting the accolades it deserves. It's been growing steadily through word of mouth, and the high ranking here certainly demonstrates how well it's regarded, but the serendipity group freely admits it could use more hellp with documentation, branding and design. It's a techie heavy program still, and for that reason appeals a lot to programmers, and hasn't made as much penetration into the world of the average non technical end user as has some of its main competitors. Hopefully that will change. In the meantime, the developers just continue to crank out innovations, improvements and great new features.

I've been working with Serendipity for almost a year now and always use the latest alpha snapshot. I've always had great luck with even early development versions and if ever there is a problem, which I can't say that I've had many, the Serendipity development team is always very fast to help. I tried a number of blogs and once I tried Serendipity, the search was over!

The only thing missing to Serendipity is the ability to create HTML pages next to the blog. WordPress features this, so I picked up WordPress together with the File Manager 1.5 hack for it. Too bad, because i liked Serendipity a lot more, mainly because of the excellent file management.

Dude I cannot second this. supersized.org and jannis.to are delivering thousands of different entries out ouf thousands of different entries each day and it does not produce load at all. Also, have a look at www.bobparsons.com - definitely not a low-traffic site. So there must be something wrong with your setup and not with our software.
At www.s9y.org/forums/ we're waiting for you to help you track down your problem.
Posted By: Garvin on April 14 2005 09:35 am
Dude: This can depend a lot on your used Plugins. I am running a site with 3000+ entries and load times below 1 second, with a similar server setup. I have also talked with many people using Serendipity having 1000+ entries and load times with max. 2 seconds.
We have developed a entryproperties plugin with caching facilities, you should use those.
I consider this issue as a bug in your server setup or wrong plugins.
Posted By: dude on April 11 2005 06:18 am
If you have lots of entries (500+) this piece of software becomes dramaticly slow (index load time aprox 10-15 seconds). Our real-life test with 1400+ entries resulted in in servercrash with 5k unique traffic a day. specs:
Serendipity 0.8-beta4,
PHP 4.3.2,
GenuineIntel, Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
Linux 2.4.21-27.0.2.EL
