Re: New CMS Comparison grid

This is great info Phil, and thanks for posting. I did want to share an experience concerning the cut/paste of Excel spreadsheet content into the DNN rich text editor. I regularly coach my clients to avoid the very convenient procedure, for the problem is that the resulting markup utilizes detailed style attribributes for each/every cell in the pasted area. This page is currently bloated with unnecessary style attributes which account for around 2.2 MB of download size. Despite my "coaching", one of my clients continued to disregard my advise so I eventually enabled compression on their site to help offset the large page size. I must say that compression is a wonderful feature of DNN that I don't think is captured/compared above, and quite fitting to mention since this particular page could benefit greatly :-)

Re: New CMS Comparison grid

Great information. Could you hyperlink the DNN "Free Add On" comments to the appropriate location? That would help a lot of DNN users, particularly the newer folks...

Re: New CMS Comparison grid

Very useful and interesting, might i suggest that this information be incorporated into the DNN site and maybe even expanded to explain where the free extra's could be found and where to find more information about the features included in the core

Re: New CMS Comparison grid

Looks like your client simply went to http://www.cmsmatrix.org/matrix and chose these for comparison. But at least they came to the correct conclusion... :)

Re: New CMS Comparison grid

This grid is very helpful. It is similar to the grid that directed us to DNN in the first place. Compare hundereds of packages, 10 at a time. This may be a helpful resource. http://www.cmsmatrix.org/

Re: New CMS Comparison grid

I see that this chart says the "workflow engine" is a free addon.

Could someone please point me to where I can find this free "workflow engine" addon??

The only workflow I've seen so far is about $90 from Snowcovered.

Thank you, Tom

Re: New CMS Comparison grid

FYI. I am the maintainer of the DNN info on CMSMatrix.org, the site this info comes from. Please contact me directly if there are any errors in the dnn information (my email address is erik.vanballegoij@dotnetnuke.com). About the workflow engine.. i wouldnt know really if there are free add ons.... so that might be an error...

Re: New CMS Comparison grid

Wow! This is great! I think it would be nice to have seen more of the PHP CMS out there incorporated too, though.

Re: New CMS Comparison grid

I see that Image Resizing is a Free Addon. What might this Image Resizer be. My biggest customer support issues revolve around clients that don't resize before uploading. Image resizing is so important, my clients generally don't know how to do any image manipulation, they just expect it to happen and there is no reason why it can't be automated.

Re: New CMS Comparison grid

Can you make a copy of this spreadsheet available? It's quite valuable to those of us who evangelize DNN.
thanks!
