Large professional website, many features...what's the best CMS

[newviewit]

Trying to figure out the best CMS for the job...large one. I usually use Modx CMS but this job looks like it's too big for the limits of MODx

Here's the basics available in most CMS: Polls/surveys, email forms, blog, newsletter, multilingual, members access, forums, etc

But I have a client that's also after:
1) Facebook style personal home pages (possible) but also including....
2) Ebay type auction system with buy now features
3) Integration of the above into wap mobile phone website that allows payments through phones (Paypal sounds good, not much of a problem there)
4) Internal messaging system
5) wiki for online document collaboration

Wondering if anyone has started on/knows about any of the above features already integrated into a solid CMS such as Joomla/Drupal/etc.

Have a nice day,
Derek

Hi Derek for anything that custom I would do it from scratch. If they want all those functions they should be willing to pay.

Just what Todd said, you aren't going to find one

It's possible to do this using different technologies and then just linking to them. But then, you get multiple systems you have to mess with.

For this, coding it yourself would be the best.

newviewit,
Are you a programmer; do you have the capability to program this yourself?


Also, welcome to the forums!

Thanks,

I would say Drupal or Dolphin plus custom code. I am building something similar and ditched my love Joomla as it is too fragmented to work on something that big. onesite.com has a really nice interface but it's rented.

As suggested, do from scratch is the best way to customise to you needs. But, Drupal will be a great starting platform, as it is extremely highly flexible. Almost half of what you need to do is done with Drupal, the rest is integration.
