Need CMS recommendation

    Can someone recommend a good PHP/MySQL CMS with blogs and forum, to put together something reasonably similar to Suicidegirls.com for lack of a better example. My main priority is to have something that can be easily adapted to seamlessly look like the rest of the site. I am not fussed about having lots of functionality, I would prefer something that I can use as a backbone and add custom functionality myself. Good documentation would also be a huge plus.

    Hi

    I don't know if you'll get anything with Blogs and Forum out of the box. I would suggest WordPress for blogging and then add in a forum to suit.

    Hit wordpress site and then go to extend to review whats available under forums.

    Ya, Wordpress is better option for blogs & vBulletin or phpBB is better option for forums.

    Although if you want integrated solutions then just hit mambo or joomla.

    Geeklog has a native forum plugin, can work for blogging, and if you don't like the native forum can be integrated with phpBB... They also just released a bridge for Gallery 2.1

    I think it hits all your needs... (I think Joomla does also, but might not be as good at the blogging end) I don't suggest going with seperate packages as suggested above unless the databases can be integrated. You only want your visitors to have to login once otherwise they'll get confused if they have to login to the site, then login to the forum...
