Advices for Membership site CMS
Hi everybody,
I searched in the last posts but I didn't find definitive answers to this: What are the most used CMS for building a typical membership site ? What do you use ? I've heard about Awiz. Does anybady use it? What would you give as advice for a starting point? I'm a webmaster, I've got programming skills in PHP/MySQL but I'd rather use a tested and ready-to-use product and I'm quite new to adult sites. Thanks a lot for your advices Janluka |

I've used Site Depth for the last 4+ years and I love it.. Simple and doesn't cost a arm and a leg

We run on site depth with no problems, Omar even helped out with a server transfer!
Hit me up if you go with SD for some FREE support and tips ;) |
ElevatedX is one of the best.

Hey. I would also use elevatesx, as it is one of the best systems around. Lots of people use it and love it, and will tell you the same.
If you do go with it, and want it skinned, please let me know. See my signature for my site and info. :) Good luck either way. |

But no denying it can work well and is great value for money. Their was a guy here a week or two back offering a Wordpress option that I believe was intended for members areas. Do a search. |
also check out www.PaysiteCMS.com it's the most feature rich cms on the market..
contact me for lease pricing |
If you're serious about your business there's only one system to look at.
Elevated X has already been mentioned here but don't take our word for it, do your own research. Do a gfy search for CMS related threads over the past year or so and see which system is recommended the most by actual users. Feel free to email, ICQ or give me a call at 800-690-9277 and I'll be happy to answer any questions you have about our system. building and running pay sites and content management systems in general :) AJ |

I've built custom, used MAS, and ElevatedX. My favorite is none of the above - they all have their good side, and their bad. I'll wrap it up here:
Custom: Pros: It's custom Cons: It's custom MAS: Pros: Templating is easy Importing is easy Adding new network sites is easy Cons: No automatic transcoding Shared-ID sites for import; content rotation only works partially with this heirarchy. ElevatedX: Pros: Transcodes formats, provided you have it all setup Support and updates are generally fairly painless Cons: XSLT. Templating this to most people is like overhauling their engine. It's not for the faint of heart, takes forever, and quite frankly, is a pain in the ass. |

i bought AWIZ deluxe on wednesday night, its been installed on my server on thursday morning and meanwhile i had the VERY COMPLETE AND WELL WRITTEN IN GOOD ENGLISH manual to read like 30 minutes after my payment. I'm pretty pleased and impressed sofar with the script and i must admit that all the criticism i read on GFY about it being hard to use and the "broken english " is totally unfounded and must have been made by idiots who cannot alter their mindsets to try to understand "becouse" instead of "because"..... Full text: http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showpo...7&postcount=38 It would be highly appreciated if you will update your knowledge about aWIZ ;) |

You need to understand that lots of people being critical about your manual does actually mean something. The comment from me was not an isolated one...plenty of people have made similar observations. Perhaps you should learn to take constructive criticism and work with it instead of telling me to update my knowledge about your product. |

http://xxx-space.net/remote/manual.jpg This is a HALF-YEARLY OLD news:) But of course this is your right to continue living in the past;) |

Perhaps you should have had a decent manual when you launched the product several years ago instead of something that was so bad, my worker had to dump the product. |

We expect you to be pleased with the decision we've made for the new non-XSL templating system and look forward to your next critique which should look something like this: Elevated X: Pros: Transcodes formats, provided you have it all setup Support and updates are generally fairly painless Highly customizable and easy to template Cons: Zero :) |

Thus I hope the question of so-called "bad manual" at last is cleared and closed for any clever reader. P.S.: and again, guys, if you wanna learn what are thinking about aWIZ the real customers who works and not twaddles on the boards, it is here: http://awiz.org/testimonials/ |
I've been using AWIZ for several years and love it. I'm starting more paysites on a different server and looked at all the alternative CMS's and found AWIZ does just about everything the other CMS's do at a fraction of the price, plus it's a one off payment - no monthy commitment. So I got a second copy :)
Support is very fast and competent and the new version 6 manual was written by native English speakers and is easy to understand. |

AJ, is the latest release a non-XSL template? If not, when does will the non-XLS release happen? This is good news. :thumbsup |
Nata25: To add content with Awiz can I just copy it into the content directory from another place on my server? Or does it have to be uploaded.
I have an existing site with all the content already on my server. Thanks. |

I stated that the product was good, just the manual was shit. You seem to think it is clever being critical of the previous buyers when they speak truthfully. Silly man. |

I'm not sure what difference you mean between "copy content" and "upload content". In any case, aWIZ doesn't require to upload the content through the panel - the script works with the sets/folders which already are on the FTP. Such sets may be added to the script one by one by filling details of each set in the "Add set" form, OR the group of sets may be added at once by importing the list of their data through the "Bulk import" form (it is in Setup-panel). All these forms you can see in the admin-panel's demo on aWIZ website: http://v6.awizsoft.com/demo.php |

We're expecting the new template system to be available by July 1st and will provide the templates to anyone who wants to switch to them. Keep an eye on the boards as you already do. We'll make announcements once it's ready :) AJ |

But I have another site that is more of a picture site and it already has all the content uploaded to the server. So I am looking for a CMS that can read the picture directories off of the server and import it that way. I'm seriously considering Awiz, it seems to be a simple solution for this. I'm going to read through your forum and see if I can get the answers I am looking for there. I'm also curious about your Crazymailer and how it works. |
Damn even with the half fucked up manual it wasn't hard to understand it... Some people shouldn't even be webmasters! *shrugs* I love awiz and have used them for a few years, I have tired several others and I have not found anything better then awiz! But this is my exp with it!
ps... when I did have a problem I would email them and blam within an hour they had it fixed or recoded! Sitedepth wasn't happy with, it was and is buggy as hell.. ole well. just my two cents! |
I grabbed a copy of awiz 2 or so weeks ago. Got the newset version. Here is my take on the software:
Pros: 1. no monthly fee 2. price is less then most setup fees 3. the manual i got was perfect english. 4. lots of nice fetures in the newest version 5. templates seem to be pretty easy to work with 6. did i mention no monthly fee ;) cons: 1. does not automatically transcode videos so you have to upload all formats which is a pain. I have only played with it for a few weeks still maping stuff out and trying to absorb all the info in the manuel. But for the price if your on a budget it might me a good start point. |

anyway, you only need something like this: Code:
$ ffmpeg -i video.mpg -ar 22050 video.flv do you want cropping? Code:
$ ffmpeg -i video.mpg -croptop 20 -cropbottom 20 -padcolor 000000 -target flv -aspect 16:9 video.flv However, as I said, IMHO this should be included by default in any CMS |
