Help With Creating a CMS

[Wizet]

Can someone help me continue a CMS? The website that I want the CMS to look like would be http://basilmarket.com. If so per say that this offer would need money or credits can a mod please move this to the Marketplace section?

The options that I would need to be implemented are the following:

• Ability to post announcements without going to the web server backend.
• A ModCP, UCP, and ACP
• Permissions for a mod and admin
• Search Engine

Now for GFX artists I would for you to do the following if possible:

• Make a banner for the website (For example if it morning make it bright and if night make it dark)
• Also try to find the origin of the text on the banner
• Make online/offline images
• Make a post thread and post reply image.

If there are any other questions please PM me. Have a nice day!

I am wondering if you want to create an entire CMS from scratch or are do you just want to mod an existing CMS to suit your needs?

[Wizet]

Mod an existing CMS so it can fit my needs. Also the CMS is custom so you won't be able to find support anywhere.

Do you have a website with the existing CMS for an example?

modding is the best and the fastest solution. visit http://sourceforge.net/ and search for cms'es, you'll find plenty.

Based on your requirements I'd say you'd probably be better off using a forum like phpBB and adding a website mod to it. Most forums already have the features you mentioned above.

I am pretty new when it comes to these things but have you tried existing CMS's like the others have said? Joomla and Silver-stripe are pretty popular to name a few, plus there is probably a huge community backing these open-source options. So finding information on modding them for your needs shouldn't be too hard!

I wondering why you would want to reinvent the wheel. Try Joomla (big and top heavy) or ModXCMS (AJAX website framework) Wordpress (a fantastic CMS if you manage it right - Example: Window and Door Replacement, Lake Geneva, WI. ) Drupal is great, but requires some heavy lifting on the front-end to make it look like something other than Drupal. sNews is about the lightest, simplist CMS around (and good with search engines.

Hope this helps,

Karl

he isn;t trying to reinvent the wheel, more like modifying the wooden wheel to a rubber wheel to make the ride more smoother

he wants to modify a CMS to his needs, to make it appear like basilmarket, and some of the modifications may require some programming, which is what he wants.
