I’ve been fooling with Joomla to see if it would be good for HBC. Joomla installation is very user-friendly. Modules and components are fun to load. Though, getting something published requires you to think a different way. But, it’s very cool and it looks good!
Granular permissioning is important. So, I found Juga, which I couldn’t make do anything. I uninstalled and loaded JACL, which is a hack. I wasn’t sure what that meant until I got into the process of installing, uninstalling, then CHMOD a bunch of files manually, then reinstalling. Then my login page barfed. Then PHP errors. Then I couldn’t get in the back end.
Long story short, JACL is HORRIBLE! thank goodness it’s a test site that’s mucked up. I’ll have to reload and reconfigure the whole damn thing. Even though, to go to production we’d have to anyways.
I sure hope Joomla releases granular permissioning with a version soon. Or, JACL will have to get a whole lot better. Geeklog has Joomla beat up and down in this area.
Geeklog should make modules and installation very easy. Then we have something.
