CMS options?

[roberkules]

Hi,

we are looking for a leightweight CMS solution, preferable on top of
pyramid.
is there already some solid CMS (besides KOTTI)?

we are planning to run our main app on one paster and the content
pages on another paster.

that said, it would be also okay to run django / django-cms on the 2nd
paster. (not sure if that is possible)
another option would be plone.

in case there is no good/solid solution to use with pyramid, what
recommendations do you have?

thx,
robert

Kotti is the only one I'm aware of, personally.  I haven't used it, but it looks pretty good.  I certainly would consider using it.  Is there a reason you've excluded Kotti from consideration?

" Is there a reason you've excluded Kotti from consideration?"

Just a thought as I'm actually considering Kotti, but briefly playing with it myself, i saw that there's no way to upload images when you are authoring a page. That makes it a little awkward for non-tech folk to add content I think. Or rather a + on the django-cms side for someone who may be expecting something closer to drupal or wordpress.

For what it's worth, adding a small media library like Wordpress has
it is very high on the list of todos. Expect this functionality to
land after the Kotti sprint in February.

good to hear. I was looking at the code and the docs, and it looks to be easily extendable. I have 2 sites that have very light cms needs at the moment. I may hack on this a bit.

I also have been looking at Kotti, and managing images is one of the
things I'd need to have or write in order to use it. That was one of
the impetuses for getting this on the todo.

(I'll also need a photo gallery plugin, but that's too specialized and
varying to be part of Kotti itself.)

You can also look at Ptah. It's a higher-level framework built on
Pyramid, and it has a CMS services component (although it's disabled
by default).

I saw a talk about a hybrid Plone-Pyramid site at the Plone conference
in November. I'd have to find my notes to remember the speaker's name.
:) But he did something close to what you're describing: two web
applications mounted at different points in the same website. I
believe the Plone application was under "/" and the Pyramid
application was under "/service" or something like that. Or maybe it
was the other way around. The only trick was to make sure
cross-application URLs are correct. He said the site works well.

If we keep the discussion alive for about 2 or 3 weeks i will add another option to the cms question. For now there is just a name and an empty website http://www.poolyx.net.
And a short explanation: "professional * fully featured * extensible * easy to use * open source website publisher"
Well, texts. .. If someone would like to help optimizing some english docs just append /doc/index.html to the url above and you will see what i mean. And let me know.

Using pastedeploy you can mount different wsgi apps at different urls. 

http://pythonpaste.org/deploy/#the-config-file

see egg:Paste#urlmap

I presume plone is a wsgi app. 

You can do the same thing on google appengine in your app.yaml http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/config/appconfig.html#Script_Handlers

though in your app.yaml you don't have  the middleware filter option like you do in Paste so things are slightly different.

There is a "minicms" example in Ptah repository.
https://github.com/ptahproject

Ptah examples documentation:
http://ptah-examples.readthedocs.org/en/latest/overview.html#ptah-minicms

Unfortunately there is not a media library in minicms example. But it certainly
is worthwhile looking at it. It contains features such as:
* Content types
* Fields (TinyMCE is an example of field)
* Folder structure
* Optional layout system

Ptah, itself, is evolving quite well. It now supports schema migration using
alembic. Ptah is a pick-what-you-like opinionated framework. You can
pick the opinions and features you like. We have a group of people on
#ptahproject as well as #pyramid on irc.

I've just added a File content type to Kotti:

- https://github.com/Pylons/Kotti/commit/046fc6bad9c4c498fd4e1766794167049748f60e
- https://github.com/Pylons/Kotti/commit/c6e5e2d6442a150b98d1a521e7205a71cddf1123

The remaining task now is to integrate with TinyMCE so that we get
image browsing and upload within the editor. That work should go into
a new kotti_tinymce package. Now if you could contribute work there,
that would be awesome. Otherwise, we'll have to wait until the
sprint...
