An SMF CMS?

You are not allowed to redistribute SMF.

Read the licence. You can only distribute mods. This is to ensure that it is kept secure, and to keep support in the one place.

So it short, no one but the SMF Developers can actually make a seperate CMS?

No. You can make a SMF CMS without including the SMF files in it.

Make an CMS and make a small mod that changes SMF to work with it for example.

Okie dokie... thanks guys.
I wont bother starting a project then.

On that SORT of topic
is there a mod to make the SMF have a front page, so its almost like a website
-if so what is it
And will it support new themes?

I can never find anythign like it, or maybe Im using the wrong keywords..

As for the SM CMS
that would have been awesome, the forums are amazing and at the minute bridging is troublesome.

Anyone recommend a CMS that bridges easily with it?

(thats why im thinking just make an intergrated frontpage on the forums... for news new gallery photos etc etc)

After many retries on many portals and cms, i could not found any useful (for me) CMS.
So i decided to write my own mini cms to work with SMF ('cause i like it ).
My questions are:
if i have some questions (about coding), can i post them here?
if i finish it and decide to release the source, can i use the smf as part of the name? (CMSMF f.e.) or it is not allowed?

Thanks in advance...

Yea you can come and ask questions if you need help.  In regards to the name AFAIK you can't use SMF name on it.

I no prob not in right thread but i seen this bloke on a forum selling these names:

officialsmf.com
onlinesmf.com
smfland.com
smfnation.com
supersmf.com

Maybe one of those ...lol

I currently use cpgnuke for my CMS. However, I was getting loads of spam posts because they use some for of phpBB forums.

SMF would be the perfect solution forum for me, but I would like some small CMS type functions.

-a frontpage that I can put advertisements on
-custom blocks that I can place right, center, left, bottom

I have used many CMS's in the past, I just want it easy, a way to advertise and a way to block/monitor spam posts.

Great work with the SMF though, I would just like to see a SMF CMS also.

I have also seen the vbulletin CMS that works similar to what I am looking for, but I think SMF can pull this off very easily with just a small php frontpage with blocks, polls, etc. on the main page.

..just my 2 cents

Have you looked at tiny portal?   It does all that and is built as an SMF mod package.

[Nordoelum]

When would this CMS ship? I have read none of the topic posts.

That's probably why you don't know that this is not a planned project. It won't ship.

You are not allowed to redistribute SMF.

Am I allowed to print out the code, and then consume it, to see how everything comes out?

[Kindred]

You may download and use the SMF php files on your own server, you may not redistribute.   I think that is fairly clear.

[KensonPlays]

I like SMCMS also!!

Tinyportal is awesome. I recommend it.
