Geeklog place under the sun

Authored by: TechFan on Wednesday, May 21 2003 @ 07:40 am EDT

I am not sure where Geeklogs place is under the sun, but I have been taking a journey though some of the CMS out there and geeklog was one that a friend pointed me to.

I like the way that security options seem to be well designed and simple to change. I like the way I can use groups to assign permissions to albums (with the gallery integration).

I have several concerns though. I am currently trying to choose what to design my personal website around. But, I am trying to evaluate the options because I will probably end up using what I pick for our work intranet (and maybe even internet) site since that is what I will dive into and learn.

One of my concerns is that there are far fewer users (seemingly less activity) out there, to ask config questions, and share in the learning process. This leads itself to less modules (unless you want to program all your own). I still don't have the total picture of everything I can do (I am adding modules/hacks/plugins as I find them and have time to add one), but it doesn't seem like geeklog is actively being developed (I understand it is free and just like me everyone has limited "free" time). Maybe I just am not getting the feeling of any clear "owner" of the project.

Anyway, my two cents. . .(I am new to this, so I might have it all wrong).

Geeklog is alive and well. Your best place for real time help irc.freenode.net, channel geeklog. There is usually someone there that can help.

Thanks. I will have to try to connect again. . .I attempted to set Trillian to connect the IRC last night, but the server was refusing my UserID or something. . .??

I do wish that a version of geeklog could be downloaded that already had all the plugins installed. . . It would be great to at least have the option to start with the plugins and remove/disable them if not needed.

Btw, is there a site somewhere that has "all" the plugins/blocks that are available installed to see how they work, etc?

Thanks again. The security options are probably what are going to win me over. PostNuke has similar granularity, but it is much more complicated to set permissions.

I don't know of a site that has all, but I would check out these sites.
