Third Party CMSs

[William]

Hi, I'm currently researching various CMSs to integrate with an
existing mach-ii site. It currently seems like Mura CMS is in the
lead, but I'm also looking into FarCry, I.C.E., and Lomtec ActiveWeb.
Does anyone have any thoughts?

The site is running Mach-II 1.5, but I can upgrade to 1.6 if I need
to. Thanks for any insight.

This is the only one I've looked at, and they offer really excellent integration points for frameworks. I haven't looked at the others you mention in terms of integrating with Mach-II, but I can say with certainty that Mura is well geared towards what you want to do.

Would someone mind briefly explaining to me how a CMS like Mura would
interface with an existing M2 App? I too am interesting in extending
Mura with a significant amount of new development and I would like to
have M2 manage my flow logic.

Thanks!

I am not sure how Mura or other 3rd party CMS apps integrate with M2
apps but the one we built at work calls out to Mach II apps by using
the cfmodule tag. This is sort of how Fusebox 3 allowed you to call
other circuits fuseaction's. It works ok for some things but starts to
get pretty slow if you have to pull in a bunch of different pods on a
page. We eventually replaced this method with cached cfm templates.
There is probably a cleaner way to do this by leveraging Mach II
request handler which might be how Mura is doing it.

I did some work integrating sites managed by ColdBricks CMS with
applications built in other frameworks, including Mach-II. Basically
this lets you have pages of your site managed by the CMS (content,
layout, widgets, etc) but being called as if they were part of the
host Mach-II application, and that will be part of the normal request
lifecycle of the framework. If you want to give ColdBricks a try let
me know and I can provide you with the details on how to integrate it
and what can (a can't) be done.
