hobaugh Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 This is off the osCommerce topic but I don't know where else to ask the question. I am looking for an open source app made specifically for an online magazine. (we are going to add a used book store using osCommerce. This will be my second osCommerce project. ) Does anyone know of any, other than SPIP (french CMS, nice but in french)? Thank you for any suggestions, Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loxly Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 What do you need besides article management? [no external urls in signatures please, kthanks] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobaugh Posted February 21, 2003 Author Share Posted February 21, 2003 Article management is the main criteria. The ideal system would: Allow visitors to submit short stories and graphics Create PDF of magazine Manage back issues Manage the status of stories (approved, rejected, published, etc) Define magazine sections: cover, editorials, book reviews, departments Manage subscriptions Etc. Basically I was hoping to find an open source product that was specifically designed to be used for an online magazine or something close to it. Do you know what open source software is considered to be the best for article management? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loxly Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 Humm... I'll have to think about that. Did you search SourceForge? [no external urls in signatures please, kthanks] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 Might want to take a look at hotscripts.com too .....I've found lots of thing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobaugh Posted February 21, 2003 Author Share Posted February 21, 2003 I've searched sourceforge and freshmeat (thats where I found SPIP). I'll have to try hotscripts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loxly Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 I don't like you :) I haven't been to freshmeat before. I did a search on CMS filtered by php and found several programs that could have some of what you want. I downloaded 2, or was that 3...... Anyway, there was ezPublish and a news application, so I would look there a little more and be open minded as to what it might be called or hidden in :?

hobaugh Posted February 21, 2003 Author Share Posted February 21, 2003 I don't like you You hurt my feelings :cry: I know I looked at ezPublish, I could have sworn it had a very complex language associated with it. maybe I confused this with something else. That happens when you're searching in the wee hours of the morning and you have a few beers in you. I will take a hard look at it. Sorry :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loxly Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 :lol: My eyes glazed over so much that I didn't see the filter the first time, so when I found it I jumped for joy! You can filter on free and not free also. ezPublish for example is open source to use, but there is a licence if you want to develop it into a separate application and sell it to others.
