Hi,

I am looking for a new cms to devellop the new version of my site.

I have used joomla and modx but it was not really for me.

maybe processwire is more for me?

Can I do the following with this CMS?

  • Use data in an external database (same server or other then site) to populate data on pages. (lists and detail pages)

  • Add, delete, adapt entries in that database (through forms on frontend of the site)

  • use my php and sql “knowledge” to adapt/create the above. (create custom php forms and php pages)

  • create a multinlangual site (easy to add a language/tanslate file to be able to add languages)

  • (optional: give users the option to use facebook/google or site registration)

 

This for an event database website where:

  • there is a hierarchical category system

  • users can create an account/change their password

  • logged in users can add/update/delete and search events.

  • visitors (also not logged in) can add,search events.

  • normal users can only acces front end even when logged in

  • admin users can acces front and back end

tnx for any replies

Yes, you could do all the above.

I don't know what you're after with those external databases,  but in most cases I think it's not convenient to have separate models to work with. Keep in mind that working with hundreds of thousands of pages (data containers) in ProcessWire is no problem. I haven't seen real performance issues for sites with more than a million pages.

On the other hand, ProcessWire is just executing PHP so if you wish to use external databases you go can go for it.
