I need blog, forum, events, & classifieds integrated or plugins available.

I've looked at a number of the open source CMSs but I'm having a hard time finding one that can offer everything I need.

I am looking to standardize an existing site which is currently a hodge-podge of various free scripts due to trouble creating a unified look and search engine friendly urls in all sections.

If anyone can suggest a CMS that can handle all of the above it would be appreciated.

Currently I am using a site ran by postnuke and can get modules for it with the functions you listed.
Forum modules
pnphpbb - intergration of phpbb 2.x with some mods and you can find converted hacks from phpbb2 that can be installed or if you are good at coding you could convert any phpbb2 hack to it.

pnforum - I believe this started life as phpbb 1.x but has pretty much been rewritten and is also intergrated.

There is also a module to intergrate SMF with PN but i think that will basically pass users from PN to SMF and give you a single log in through PN.

Events
postcalender
postschedule
pagesetter w/ calender template
Classifieds
zClassifieds
PN_zClassifieds (both are diffrent modules)

Blog
v4b journal probably not what you are looking for but it works

Wordpress 1.5 I have seen mention of a completed intergatation but I don't think the download is available yet.

Pagesetter w/blog template - looks more and less like your typical blog.

Pagesetter is a pretty nice module basically you can make your own mini module. You can define fields for your data to be inputed then create a template for it to display the info.

I might have not mentioned all the modules availbe for each task but I believe the listed ones are main contenders and will give you a start on comparing what kind CMS package you can put together for your site.
Good Luck

Physics,

I like the concept of that comparison site but a lot of the info is 2+ years old. (phpNuke for instance has data on version 6.0 and its currently at 7.9).

Any other similar sites that you can recommend that are more up to date?

Actually I may have spoken too soon. I just picked some infrequently updated CMSs for my first comparison. Most seem to be quite up to date.

Thanks for the link Physics!

Glad you like it... too bad to hear some of the popular CMS data is a bit out of touch though.
