Yet Another "Which CMS", opinions wanted

looking for a cms for memberships and ecommerce

[avibodha]

Hi, We're looking for a CMS that handles Membership with Members-only content and subscriptions that automatically bill members monthly or yearly. We also sell products and need a working shopping cart. We'll have around 100 pages.

We're currently using modX, which we love, but are looking at writing the code needed to support shared login (for cms and zencart), subscription handling (using authorize.net and zencart), and automatic billing (and handling failures, etc, and some kind of admin for that). In addition, we use Constant Contact for our newsletter, which we want to move to be subscription based also.

We could hobble something like aMember onto modX...or custom write authorize.net interface...I've seen that Drupal has a subscription module, is there an admin for that?

What would you suggest? Should we look at a mid-range CMS instead? Any opinions and advice welcome.

thanks much

any suggestions?

or does anyone know of a mid-range CMS that would do all these things?

or a forum dedicated to CMS's?

thanks

Almost every CMS can do what you want

Just have a look at them in detail , each have addon modules which can handle all the things you want

Drupal can do whatever you want , its just imagination which stops from using Drupal. Infact it wont be false if we say we can make almost every kind of website with Drupal.

Ecommerce module of drupal got its own admin which can be used . You can run website with subscriptions too. It has dedicated forum too.

Hi,

in our company we work with contentXXL, a .NET-based CMS. You are able to implement your own modules on a very easy way and use your own design. You also can handle membership of users with different roles and rules. An interesting aspect is the multilangualism if you want to offer your website in several languages. In case of creating a product-catalogue its important to know, that you can show related content/objects dynamically on each site containing the according product.
It's not an opensource CMS but so you have full and professional support with very fast reaction.
I recommend contentXXL to everybody who wants to create a professional website/webapplication.

MODx CMS is probably a good choice if you want to invest the time to make the custom snippets. It's pretty powerful and extensible.
Drupal is another great choice. Look at the Ubercart for ecommerce and subscriptions.
