e Spider	Monday 05 April 2004 5:36:31 pm Hello, I'm seeking a CMS that meet several requirements : MYSQL DB Python not required Caching Complete French localization Various permissions Powerful templating Thought to work with thousands of members Short URLs Powerful forums Links directory Downloads directory Both with unlimited subcategories News with categories, images, comments, RSS feed, and trackback ! Ability to add/edit/remove fields in the members profile. Ability to choose a registration form depending on the membership type. Pending registration (submit membership) These requirements could be met by plugins or modules, but not by hacks. That CMS will be hosted as the portal/core to several smaller specialized CMS. Thx by advance. eS

You CAN build such system with eZ publish, but... there are some "ideology differences". I don't think that eZ is "Thought to work with thousands of members" I think Drupal portal software is more appropriate solution in your case - http://www.drupal.org -- mike #6595551
Tony Wood	Tuesday 06 April 2004 3:33:23 am Hi, I think that eZ will form the good basis of a portal envrionment. It has most of what you need. However, a lot of what you need is not "out-of-the-box" ready, it will need crafting before it is ready to use. The comment about "not ready for thousands of users". I think that this is true because of the issues with very large sites and publishing. It is explained well here http://ez.no/community/forum/developer/ez_what_is_ripping_our_resources However, these issues are being addressed and really only become an issue when you have tens of publishers adding content daily. For most sites where the view to edit ratio is high, eZ publish performs well. That said, work needs to be done (is is being done) with the cache and scalabilty techniques to take eZ publish to the enterprise level. I hope this helps -- tony Tony Wood : twitter.com/tonywood Vision with Technology Experts in eZ Publish consulting & development Power to the Editor!

Tore Skobba	Tuesday 06 April 2004 6:40:52 am Hi You say "For most sites where the view to edit ratio is high, eZ publish performs well.". Do you here mean that EZ will not perfom well as a forum? Just wondring because I am about to roll out an site where all registred users (400 growing with 100-200 each year) have the ability to post links, articles, binary files by the standard interface. Cheers Tore
Bård Farstad	Tuesday 06 April 2004 7:02:00 am Tore, eZ publish works very fine as a forum. Here on ez.no we have 14.000 registered users and about 30.000 postings in our forum. We're now serving almost 1.8Mill pageviews pr month on ez.no and we don't have problems with the performance at this server. --bård Documentation: http://ez.no/doc
Tony Wood	Tuesday 06 April 2004 9:02:24 am Bard, It would be useful to get your feedback on http://ez.no/community/forum/developer/ez_what_is_ripping_our_resources. A lot of our sites push tens of thousands of page views a month without problems. As a result we do not see this cache/publish problem. Maybe some clarification on the cache/content update issue. If this does not affect you then this is brilliant. Any comment? --tony Tony Wood : twitter.com/tonywood Vision with Technology Experts in eZ Publish consulting & development Power to the Editor!
