Hi all I am fairly new to the forum but I have a question that maybe I could get some input on, I have a client that is looking to run a new informational site. The basis of which allows visitors to post up their events or functions for free, the site will be geographically based by area, ie one for New York one for New Jersy etc. End user posts their article for their restaurant or gig bake sale etc, they can post pics and video as well as text all for free. site needs to include advertising areas for the income revenue stream portion of the site so would need rotating banner ads and headers etc. My client has been advised to use Xoops, I have not used xoops before, I am familiar with CMS from using Magento but obviously this is more leaning toward e commerce than informational. The site needs to be self managing as far as content, just with a moderator approving the postings. any feedback or maybe suggestions as to any other OS or PHP driven I could look at using or implementing for this site would be greatly appreciated. I need something stable and also expandable as there are many major corporate sponsors in the wings for this project, ie AT&T, Dell etc etc -- -- Regards Ryan Cunningham 1 352 624 3262 constructmedia@xxxxxxxxx www.constructmedia.com The information contained in this message may be privileged, confidential, and protected from disclosure.
