questions before I take the plunge

Robert Clubb	Friday 25 January 2008 8:13:17 am Hi, Couple of noob questions I'm afraid but I'm looking at loads of different CMS solutions prior to moving my current php/perl-based site (which has run its course) and am wondering if someone would be kind enough to answer them. Here goes How easy is it to add custom php code to the out of the box system? I currently use a whole host of different things - some of which I've written myself and some which are scripts I've downloaded from elsewhere. Basic requirement is to be able to write a module kind of thing... I'm also needing a download facility/module so that certain users are able to download posted documentation - same kind of thing as docman in joomla. Is this possible? Is there any facility to bridge into phpBB? Or any known migration tool?
