[Hidden-tech] PHP web page login system

[B. Kimo Lee]

Hi David,

Well, here's yet another recommendation for a CMS based on PHP/MySQL...
Check out Joomla (formerly Mambo CMS), www.joomla.org

It literally takes me about 10 minutes to get it up and running on my  
server (Linux/Apache). 5 minutes to set up an empty database and db  
user. 5 minutes to upload the tar file, decompress and run the  
installer. It runs out of the "box" with a couple of default  
templates. If  you're not graphically inclined, then there are  
bunches of free or fee-based Joomla templates out there. It comes  
with a "registered" member management system. You can restrict  
content pages to certain member groups. Registered members get their  
own members-only menu. There are several free third-party components  
for forums. It comes with a great back-end admin area, including  
WYSIWYG text editing and has a global community of developers. It rocks!

Check out this site I just launched for a client about three weeks ago:
http://www.patrioticpulse.org

Call me if you need more info.

Best,
Kimo Lee
