Geeklog vs. PHPnuke: A Brief Review

Authored by: Remdotc on Tuesday, December 10 2002 @ 11:09 am EST

Well, there are some other nice vs bad points..

PhpNuke is a pain, even with version 6.0 to Theme, or make unique.
PhpNuke is a pig. 45-60K pages, Anyone not on broadband isnt going to enjoy this, plus the server load the provider isnt going to enjoy

PhpNuke is Boxed: Every phpnuke site i have seen, looks like every other phpnuke site i have seen.

PhpNuke Lacks Security: PhpNuke security system is horrible.
PhpNuke is Slow to update: One developer. Slow to update
PhpNuke Core: Speghetti Code. Non Defined functions, No credit given for the orginal code that (thatware.org) it is based off of.
So Simple, You have to be dead not to install it.

Bonuses of PhpNuke, Not Listed
PhpNuke is forkware: Aka PhpNuke,PostNuke,NukeKid... Trillions of websites all supporting Nuke
PhpNuke, is mindless. So simple, You have to be dead not to install it

--Minuses of Geeklog--
Its still a new kid on the block, Not as many plugins. Not as popular

--Bonuses of Geeklog--
Well commented code. These guys work for EDS?
Not as popular, So sites look fresh
Developer Support is great. Usually one of the developers will try to answer your question in a few days
Content Security is that of some very expensive CMS\'s
Open Source: If there is a bug , a plugin, or question, the developers pass it on to the community

After looking and testing numberous CMS packages(, Cofax, Nuke--(fill in the blank) , EzPublish, Thatware, Dacode, Dropal, Typo3, Odonivia, Mambo ) Only one code comes to mind for my site, which i have spent months on changing, tweaking, and testing for its launch date later this month. Thats geeklog. None of the others have all the features I wanted.

Whilst my site will not look like your typical GL page, rest assured the core is geeklog
