did you rename the htaccess.txt file to .htaccess?
if that didn't work you can look into SEF plugins.

sef advance (commercial)
http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,362/Itemid,35/

404_sef (open source)

Custom CMS on each site, very basic but enough for my needs. I'm also lucky with the isp, it is pro-active and automatically ads temporary or permanent filters against bots trying to hack sites on their servers (functionality is not affected ever).

 

well i just figured out that (@ least for 404_sef) you need to have the built in sef function enabled.

i would also suggest the joomla sef patch found @ joomlatwork.com

 

running joomla with sef urls
joomla is the only cms i have used but i can tell you that finding help/support forums is a snap. there are also a ton of component addons like the sef module, image manager, sitemap generators, blog tools, guest book....etc
oh yeah, the adsense module allows you to pick the position of the banner and thats is it, you don't have to enter any code (except your account number).
my most recent addition was a bridge that connected the database from main site with the forums so the user accounts work on both the site and the forum.

I spent some time looking at several cms sytems. I went with joomla. Joomla is by far the most user friendly. I didn't my get the site created exactly how I wanted but hopefully I'll get it someday. Joomla has lots of issues but its still the easiest to work with.

 

Joomla is the best that i have seen ...

 

I just upgraded a couple of sites to Joomla 1.09 and it is running very smooth.

http://www.joomla.org

Open source software with a lot of talented team members.

 

Many people use the 404SEF addon in Joomla for search-engine friendly URLs, but another nice component is OpenSEF (http://www.open-sef.org).

The backend of this component makes it very easy to make changes to existing URLs.

 

I prefer to use TextPattern. I've tried A LOT and Textpattern seems to be one of the easiest to use and has for the most part everything I've needed right from the start with no modifications. If you do need some extras there are TONS of extensions and mods out there for it.

check out (www.textpattern.com) for the official site.

Here is a collection of sites using Textpattern so maybe give you an idea of what can be done. (http://txpmag.com/all_sites)

 

I use Movable Type and WordPress.

I've been using MT for years, when there were few other worthwhile options. I'm fluent in the tags I need and via includes and a few plugins I'm able to do whatever I want. It powers about thirty sites for me on three different servers.

Recently I've been using WP for smaller sites that I never expect to grow past a certain size. I'm using it to power three sites for now.

I'm very fond of TextPattern, which I used in its early days but I don't want to have to keep track of three different packages.

PostNuke because it is easy to setup, easy to customize and secure.

 

I am with others.

I usually code them myself. Rather then reading the code of someone else and then integrating the whole template into it. It is good to code a new one myself.

 

mysql version of cutephp is best for me

 

Mambo, because it was the first I installed and I liked it.

 

I like Drupal the best, but I also like to do customization.

It's probably the least aesthetically attractive after a basic install, but the module/hooks system and the ability to define multiple custom content types make it very flexible in the long run. I looked at Joomla and Xaraya and they both had some impressive features. But I started with CMSs under the assumption that a lot of coding and CSS work would be needed to get any kind of custom look, and I think Drupal offers the most open architecture to do that customization.

Joomla certainly seems to have gotten quite a following here...definitely sounds worth continuing to experiment with.

 

I do like Joomla, but I find it too rigid. What if you want to do present your content in any other way than the standard one? What if you want to publish as a magazine, or as a classified site? Then you have to dig deep into the core files to change them. But for a quick, out of the box site that looks good Joomla is the best.

But if you want more control, there are better ones out there. Drupal is one such option, but I don't like Drupal because I've tried to install it three times now and there's always some module that doesn't work well - and I have to spend hours tracking down errors on the net.

If I want more control of the result I use ModX at www modxcms com (I'm not allowed to link to it, so you have to reconstruct the link) instead. It's quite powerful and flexible.

 

I was interested in ModX but ...

The site's home page talks about ease of use. The forums don't seem to reflect that. Perhaps because ModX is still in the teething stages ... ?

I think it's still in Beta. But I find that your objection is true for Drupal as well. It is true for a lot of CMS:s. The forums and the documentation are abysmal, and you basically have to know the system you adopt beforehand. However, given that, I find that it was easier to get into ModX than Drupal. These are very subjective observations, of course, and what I said is true for me. Perhaps others have a different experience.
