PostNuke is a
free, open source
content management system (a 'nuke') forked from
PHP-Nuke, released under the
GNU General Public License. The PostNuke project was started because some
PHP-Nuke users believed there should be a more open development environment. The
users felt the only way this could be done was to develop their own fork of the
PHP-Nuke code. PostNuke has grown beyond PHP-Nuke and become a project standing
on its own merits. Like
XOOPS, PostNuke's
code is
object oriented and fully modular.
Features
Currently PostNuke can provide
RSS feeds,
internet forums (through PNphpBB2, a modification of the popular forum software
phpBB, as well as pnForum and other forums), polls, language
internationalization, galleries, chat,
e-commerce,
games, reviews, links, as well as countless other features with various hooks
and modules, many of which are free. PostNuke is also themeable using several
theme engines such as Xanthia and AutoTheme (also known as AT, or AT-Lite), as
well as PostNuke's native theming system. Both Xanthia and AutoTheme offer page
caching to speed up page generation times. PostNuke is written in PHP and stores
its data in a MySQL database. Future versions will work with any database
supported by the ADOdb driver. PostNuke will run on any platform that PHP will
run on, including the Apache and IIS webservers.
