CMS Made Simple 1.10.3

Anyone tell me how to change the lanuage for the back end (admin area) because I can only read english, this shits me to no end, I have spent half an hour pressing this and pressing that to no avail, please! someone! I would like to try it, thanks

The name says it all! This is hands down the best open sourced CMS for managing a web site (not a blog). I've tried Joomla and Drupal, and both drove me insane. I hate the admin areas of both Joomla and Drupal, and teaching them to my clients is EXTREMELY frustrating. CMS Made Simple is intuitive and powerful at the same time. The admin area is clean, and layout nice and easy. Most of the modules that I need are installed by default, such as TinyMCE, and the ability to upload documents and images via the admin area without the need for an FTP program is a real time saver. I also like how I can upload documents and images, then access them using TinyMCE.

FYI, WordPress is mainly used for blogging not for managing a web site. You really can't compare the two. If you want a REALLY simple blogging engine, then WordPress works, but if you want to manage a web site, then CMS Made Simple is the way to go.

If you cant use CMS Made Simple, then frankly you should stick to things much smaller. This is as simple and powerful as it becomes. Have dug around in Joomla, Drupal,Wordpress, but CMS MS wins hands down. But if you can't code or wish not to....stick with something more 'modular' like wordpress or Joomla.I have migrated sites from Joomla to CMS MS and did not need to teach the client to use it. Now that is a true CMS.

Nice and cool work Done :) but still need some functionality like Creating Forms

If you have trouble installing it there is a good chance your host wasn't up to the task, even though I've found very few that can't handle it if you get PHP, mySql, on a linux server.

Garbage... plain and simple.

I tried to install three times. never worked once. tried contacting devs and reading forums for help. NONE!!!

Simply said, "We cant help you. But you can bypass certain aspects of installation. BUT... then we will not be able to support your installation."

In other words, sorry bout your luck... figure it out yourself... FU!!! This thing is crap!

It looks good. Though I can't let my costumers use this, its still to hard for a novice user. Anything but simple to them.

Also I get 30975390475938535 errors before it even works stable

I simply LOVE CMS made simple because everything really works the way it should - you install it and it works - meanwhile I use it on 5 different pages that vary in complexity.

The basic page is really good and solid and it's easy to add more extras when needed. Also there is a huge helpful community. Whenever I had any problem I found the solution there. Our clients really love to use it because the backend is really intuitive and you can block away functions that would only confuse a simple content editor. We had a client that used typo3 before as an editor and wanted our webcompany to do the editing as it was too complex for him. This never happened to me with CMS made simple.

I could easily make ANYONE use it... even our trainees know how to work with it after a short introduction.

Great work!

Better than Joomla and all other systems. Great CMS!

I read a few of the comments that were left and while I'm no guru, I do use Joomla primarily, Drupal and Wordpress to minimize coding. I was surprised by those who felt the admin for this program was more difficult than Drupal or Joomla. Like I said, I don't consider myself a guru, though I've been around for awhile, I thought the five minutes I spent in the admin panel was very straight forward and easy to understand. Drupal and Joomla both have a modest learning curve even for experienced developers.

That's my cms pennies worth.

It is a bit sad that the comments here in general are getting more and more moronic. Clearly some of the troubled individuals he shouldn't bother with any CMS.

What I like most is how their excellent documentation. They explain everything well and in detail. Great cms...

You moron

Don't bother. It is anything but simple. If you have used other CMS, then this will be completely counterintuitive. Common tasks that should be simple end up taking forever.
