Hi all,

I'm the owner of http://www.flippers.be which is now made out of
static html pages.
Finally made the decision to switch to a cms.
Problem is - which one to chose ?

I started with Drupal but my site is hosted at one.com which has a php
memory_limit if 24mb.
This is not enough for Drupal and many other large cms systems (as I
discovered after wasting 2 weeks..).

Searching for lightweight cms systems I found Pixie and it looks very
promising.

Before again wasting 2 weeks of my time learning the cms and trying to
convert my site to it and then hitting a wall, I'd like to ask here
first if you guys could please have a look at my site and let me know
if it would be able to fit into Pixie ?

I have a lot of articles, split up in different categories. Homepage
is not blog-style but an index of categories (with some parts updated
with titles of new articles, something that can be done in jquery ?)
Then for each of the categories there's a list of articles.

Depending on the category you're in the menu will also change
(sometimes list all available articles, sometimes list the other
categories, ..)

Right now on the main page there are thumbnails, this is something I'd
like to extend, each article should get one and it should be displayed
in lists.

My site is multilingual (dutch/english) but not all articles are
translated and there's no clear difference in filenames/path. I want
to specify the url for each article specific.

Right now every article links to the other language (if available) but
I could live without this link - just a flag in the header that links
to the homepage in that language would also do.
But when creating an article I want to specify what language it is,
and it should only show up in menus/lists of that language (and
ofcourse in lang=en/nl in the html header). This is something I don't
find in most cms..

New features I'd like to add are that I can make a login for someone
to contribute an article (and then review and publish it myself).

Most of this I was able to do in Drupal using cck/views/locale but
that used too much memory..
Any idea if this setup is easily possible with Pixie ?

Thanks,

   Aeneas.

Hi Aeneas.
I do believe Pixie would be suitable for your site, however it would
require quite a bit of work with regards to making your theme. Your
site is quite basic and could be replicated using Pixie's "pages"
functionality.

If you are looking for a CMS that integrates with your existing pages
and design then I would recommend looking at unify: http://unify.unitinteractive.com/
- this will allow you to keep all your existing setup but easily edit
it.

There might be an open source equivalent but I have not seen one.
