ExpressionEngine

Ur Padawans jämförande recension:

• "The URLs can be made search-engine friendly but since they must carry information about the template along with the data that needs to be assembled, the URL scheme is not as flexible as with MT"

• Templates
  • An out of the box installation of EE comes with three groups and a basic set of templates for: weblog pages and RSS/Atom feeds, one member page and one search page. When a new weblog is created, no templates are created for it, a new group and set of templates must be created and filled manually. With the default installation and without tweaking or creating templates, I was unable to create multiple weblogs with EE by simply adding and configuring a new weblog like with MT.
  • Tags are fairly comprehensive, correctly documented (though the documentation can be improved) and extensible by plugins.
  • If you are going to have a number of templates that are common to many weblogs, EE’s approach will prove useful.

• MT has an API which allow the use of an external editor, such as the desktop applications NetNewsWire and Ecto, which offer an infinitely better user experience to authors than the web form of MT.

• I haven’t seen any mention of a standard API for EE that would allow the use of an external editor, but pMachine provides a desktop editor named pMpost (currently Mac OS X only and limited to pMachine Pro.) The lack of a standard API in EE may be a serious lack for certain applications (Atom may be an option to look at here.)

• EE has a bunch of built-in protections against comment spam and attacks: such as forcing email verification through registration, robots detection, CAPTCHA (a Turing test that’s not friendly to blind people), denying duplicate data, comments and TrackBacks time throttling. I think that its comment moderation capabilities can also help in that matter for community sites.

• It might be a bit oversized for simple weblogs, with its quite complex configuration and administration but for community sites that are build around a common set of pages and features, it seems to be an excellent choice with an already impressive set of features, high modularity and lots of room for expansion (pMachine promises that more modules will be added to extend EE, such image gallery, discussion forum, user weblogs, etc.) I can definitely see its use as a content management system for different types of websites, not just weblogs, and Rick Ellis (CEO and Lead Developer of pMachine) has clearly expressed his desire to blur the line between weblogging tools and content management systems.

• The other big feature is categories. Not only does EE allow you to set up parent and child categories, it also allows you to define a set of categories and display them across multiple weblogs.

Ur Padawans uppföljning

• The main point is that I don’t think EE is ready to work for a weblog farm
  • the claim that EE can manage multiple weblogs holds true. Simply it must be clear that templates have to be created manually for each weblog and managed centrally by the administrators, without an easy way to delegate this task

ExpressionEngine ser ut att vara ett hett publiceringssystem. Ganska blogginriktat dock. Frågan är vilka hakar det finns för navigationen...

• PmWiki - PHP & MySQL (?). Verkar ha en någotsånär vettig struktur med CSS, Skins och ett hyffsat uppmärkningsspråk.
