You are reading the Drake CMS Official Forums archive, available for historical purposes only.
Drake CMS has been rebranded into Lanius CMS, visit the new Lanius CMS Official Forums if you need support about Lanius CMS or Drake CMS -> Lanius CMS migration.
I've tested until now Mambo, Joomla (1.0x and 1.5), PHP-Fusion,
E107, Drupal, Gruppy and other interesting CMS's. Drake is
what I wanted. Nice and eficient admin section, beautifull as
Joomla, working on every PHP enabled server not like other Flat
File CMS. Fast. Easy to backup like PHP-Fusion (yea, the CMS
without a search box on the frontpage ). With the
latest (0.47RC2), Drake is also quite stable, lot of bugs fixed
since 0.45/0.46. You/We have to work to aesthetics, see how
important is for Apple for example -- elegance, simplicity,
performance. Sometimes this is how you get a big community. Aesthetically Drake CMS has lot of "bugs". Examples?
Position of button read-more and comments for articles.
Print/pdf/... icons incorectly shown in IE6 (don`t know if IE7
also), displayed ok in FFox. Transparency problems in IE6 for PNG
images. To make Drake CMS more appealing, I would change
all the icons in this CMS. Not to mention, that I hate the crash
image );
it`s to creeepy. There are thousands of very nice and clean
icons for Linux available as 100% Free (try the new Crystal pack
for KDE4).
I will continue this topic as I remeber
what I have to say about "my new CMS" ;). Stop me now!

Hi adrian....welcome..
Feedback of any kind is always
welcome, you don't improve unless ppl tell you either what they
like, whats wrong or what they want...
It may be
better to submit feature requests for the asthetic improvemenst
you are suggesting, they will then be logged and at the very
least looked at and acted upon in some way...
With the
community slowly growing its a healthy project that produces your
kind of comments...thanks...

Hi adrian,
yes we have plans for an aesthetical
restyling - I will also follow your suggestion and look at the
KDE Crystal icons set.
Such restyling will be applied
for the first Stable release, so while you see development going
on there is also planning for many new features and improvements
behind the scenes! We are just waiting the right moment to go
public with them in order to increase the surprise effect Thanks for
your suggestions and ideas, I agree with all of them
