article website which cms to use?

i plan to open an article site for my university where users can post there articles, which cms or script will be best for it

i m thinking of using joomla or drupal, but i m not used to drupal and find it a bit difficult to operate, is there any other cms or script for this purpose? or should i go with drpal or joomla.

 

Try Article Dashboard: http://www.articledashboard.com/download.htm

 

Article Dashboard are good to, but it all depends on how you want to organize your site. If you want it to look more professional you should go for Joomla or Drupal. Both are good. But I prefeer Joomla, since I know it best.

 

There is a CMP called serendipity, I think it is s8.com . It is a very safe CMP, one of my study mates is using it and he likes it more than drupal.

 

I use Joomla with MyBlog. You can see it in action here. The script I use is Joomla with Azrul's MyBlog.

 

ezPublish would be the best pick...

it's load user friendlier than joomla... the down bit is that you might have to learn their template language...

but if you want something out of the box and not to worried about the admin not being to user friendly then Joomla would be the next pick

 

Here is how I used Joomla & categorised articles:
www.casinoaddicts.info
www.ebrand.info
www.allseo.org

No special extensions used, well there is JomComment to serve for the comments part.

 

another vote goes to joomla. one of examples is in my signature. you can see it in action

 

Joomla can be the best choice; you only need to give it some time and make some effort and its really nice to work on Joomla

 

yea i also suggest joomla but xoops and drupal are much easoer than joomla.

 

Just check Article MS

 

ok so joomla is the key here but, in joomla one needs to convert users to authors before they can post, but i would like all registered users to post content, is there a way to do so, i checked the joomla docs and forum but can't find a way.

 

I think there is, in fact you can make Joomla a complete wiki if you want to.
Anyways, there is a way I wont recommend it though.

Try installing the AEC component and with that you can do this.
Just simply make a "free" plan and change some settings to make new members authors.

 

Yep... modify registration.php in components/com_registration directory.


$row->gid = $acl->get_group_id( 'Registered', 'ARO' );
to
$row->gid = $acl->get_group_id( 'Author', 'ARO' );

That should make you newly registered members Authors by default.
