Feedback On Siteframe

[Bob Crabb]

I'm in the very early stages of planning a new site, and I'm thinking about using Siteframe as the basic engine to control registration, session management, and document sharing. Does anyone here have any experience using Siteframe?

 

I would appreciate any feedback.

 

Thanks,

Bob

Siteframe requires PHP5

 

Pulled that from their site. Sorry but if that is a requirement it will not run on the TCH servers.

 

I would recommend something like Drupal or Joomla.

Thanks Bruce. You know, I went on the Siteframe site and never even looked at the system requirements. I assumed that since it was listed as an option in Fantastico on my site's cpanel that it would be compatible. Good thing that I didn't try to install it .

 

edit: I just checked again. Fantastico will install 3.2.2. Beaumont (5.0.2) is the current full blown release. Maybe the older release is compatible with PHP4.

While I haven´t used Siteframe (logging in, posting, etc...) but I just tried to install it through fantastico and it worked great.

But I never did anything else, so there may be errors when actually using it.

Sorry I went to the Siteframe site and their latest version requires PHP5.

 

If it's in Fantastico it should run fine.

Thanks for the feedback.

 

I now think that if I do use a CMS script for the site, I'll use something other than Siteframe even though it looks like a nice little system. Since the latest and greatest release requires PHP5, I would be concerned about the longevity of support for 3.2.X. a back level release. If support was discontinued and security issues forced me to upgrade, then I'd have to switch to a different CMS. That would be a mess!!!
