What do you think?
I think that drupal is really easy to use and that Joomla is harder. its definatly more complex :/. Just wondering what i should use if any or create my own site with my own intergrated forums :/

    I have no experience with Joomla. I've used Drupal and found that it was a little too powerful for my purposes - if that's possible.

    I think they're both a bit too developer-centric. It really depends on what you plan to do on your site. If you're just doing a blog and/or pages, I'd go with Wordpress.

    Having mucked around with Drupal I agree with both @Mark and @Lincoln. Drupal's a very powerful, deep piece of software with a very steep learning curve. If you just want a blog and forums then you've got Wordpress, Vanilla and Single Sign-On ;)

    @Stash I dont understand how single sign in works can you explain
  • StashStash ✭
    @isolationz, no! I haven't yet used it myself :D I plan on shortly, but for now, you're better off asking someone else I'm afraid.

    @Stash thanks :D

    @isolationz - Single Sign-on just makes it so that when users register or sign in through an external application (WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, whatever), they are automatically registered and signed into Vanilla, too.

    at the risk of starting a conflicting argument

    i prefer joomla over drupal, and wordpress over both. Joomla and drupal are in my opinion not admin friendly and are developer centric. Wordpress is great but... Garden/Vanilla will be better. There is a custom pages plugin for v2 out now, and a CMS type application in development. The Garden application is planed to support not only basic content management like blogging and articles, but a wiki system also. Im stoked.

    current pages plugin for v2: http://vanillaforums.org/addon/536/custom-pages

    though i recognize a need for single sign on, I prefer and support vanilla.

    @Bobtheman there is a single sign in plugin http://vanillaforums.org/page/SingleSignOn

    @isolationz
    im aware of the plugin, I just think a vanilla/garden solution is a better choice than using WP, drupal or joomla. Until the loop is closed, i recognize the need of the SSO plugin.

    Joomla is for the little dogs, and Drupal is for the big dogs. end. case. point.
