CMS with lots of modules and customization.
Currently I run a website that is using a CMS written in perl. I'm looking to upgrade my entire website to a newer and better CMS system. I'd also even be open to working with someone on a long term basis to manage and continue to upgrade my current system with new features and upgrade the ones that I already have.
The new website will need to have all the same functions and feel almost identical to the current site. In order for this to happen, all data from the current website will have to be imported into the new CMS system. Right now the website has a user database of about 4,000 members and all data is being saved into flat files.
I'm open to trying almost any CMS system (PHP, CGI, or even ASP) as long as it is open source and it has a large community of active users from which new modules / features / and templates are being constantly written and easily acquired.
Many CMS systems already have lots of these features available so I believe much of the work required for this project will be done in finding the right modules and customizing them.
A quick list of current modules that we use are:
- A classifieds module
- Easy article submission and administration
- WYSIWYG Editor for the creation of new pages and optionally for all text areas
- Possibility of several administrators
- Message board
- A modified guest book with private and public messages
- E-cards / Virtual Cards
- Test and Quiz area
- Picture Gallery
- Web Office for each user with a calendar, to-do list, contacts, and journal
- Great statistics tracking with individual tracking of each member (we can see who's using the site most)
- Quote of the moment feature – (Random text selector for side blocks)
- Built in newsletter feature.
- Ability for members to send internal site message to other users as well as to their email accounts (all emails need to be protected)
- Links area with rankings
- File download manager that allows files to be downloaded or streamed
- A shopping cart software
- A site wide shared event calendar
- Important: Site needs to work in multi languages
- Very search engine friendly
I do not want someone who simply will install the recent version of PHP-Nuke and install 2 or 3 modules and expect this project to be done. I need someone who is willing to ensure that all the current features exist in the new site and are fully functional with out any problems.
Besides this current project, I'm interested in a long term working relation with someone who can help update and expand this project over time. After this project, I'd be willing to pay monthly for this ongoing help.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or need any more information.
