CMS Requirements Checklist
Looking for a CMS for a simple site that incorporates a blog. It should:
* Be PHP (a client requirement)
* Allow me to create a custom theme using my text editor. Cutting and pasting into DB-backed admin interface can go fuck itself.
* Allow for pretty URL routing schemes.
* Have a half decent templating system; nested templates please, one basic site layout with partial templates injected into it.
Shortlist:
* Wordpress
Can edit themes on disk which is nice but predominantly a blogging platform so using as a CMS is a bit of a hack.
* ExpressionEngine
Needs more testing.
* Textpatern
Need to demo.
* CMS Made Simple
Need to demo.
* Radiant
Would be my choice but is Ruby so not allowed :(
