  • Would like to learn how to make an .exe from a zip file
  • I have been using e107 since 2006. It meets my needs. I have found it very easy to use and it has all the features I need. It is really easy to update pages - which is done on a daily basis in my case. The WYSIWYG editor makes life very simple and the themes allow a choice of basic to advanced look. It has links to social media. My downloads section is heavily used. This has allowed downloads from 65 countries in the last 9 months and the site has performed well even with very heavy usage. When I have needed support they have been there - extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. I could not ask more. Thanks e107. Can I just add that Cameron took a lot of his time to help me when I was stuck. Looking at a previous review about the forum etc, can I say that the personalised help, the help chat on Gitter more than make up for this. Thanks again

  • A message to open source programmers of today. I started in computers back in the day when we used BASIC to write our own programs. Started designing websites when all we had was html. Until my retirement, I owned the largest computer store in my state. All this is to say that I am not a beginner. However I am very old and have a hard time learning new things or remembering things. I have never written a review of any product in my lifetime, however I have never been as disappointed in the industry of open source programs, especially cms programs before. My first websites were simple HTML & SHTML sites. But as the size of sites grew, I had to start building my own templates so that I could use includes to call up whatever menu and/or side columns I wanted. Finally I moved up to using CMS programs. After trying a number of programs, I eventually ended up using geeklog and although I had a few problems when I started using it, they had a great website to help new users and to me, it was and is one of the greatest CMS programs for a large International site where a new/blog site complete with a message board and photo gallery was needed. I continued using geeklog as well as a few other programs for a variety of sites, but recently I started looking for a new CMS to handle 6 large international publications. After sorting through many options, I decided to give e107 a shot. While I am quite pleased with 90% of the program, my biggest problem is with the lack of a clear and precise MANUAL for USERS. While I managed to get several sample sites set up and running, including posting many books, with multiple chapters as well as a lot of news articles, the trial and error concept is extremely time consuming. The lack of documentation was so disappointing that I actually considered writing a users guide myself that I could send out to the individuals that will be in charge of the day to day operation. But now I am at a crossroads and am not sure if I will continue with this CMS or not. When having difficulty with a template, I tried to reach out to the designer of the template, only to discover that it is not unusual for him to take a month to respond to a question. That, combined with the fact that some of the pages on his own website end up as broken links, this sends a very poor message to others. Then I tried to post a question on the e107help.org website, only to discover that I can not even register on their site, because their “Anti-spam verification” does not display an image or any indication as to what procedure is required for the registration to complete. So, my question or comment to the open source programmers of today is this. #1:If you want people to USE the programs you are writing, then I suggest that you find someone that can write a users manual, because the more people that use your program, the more attention you will get from individuals willing to PAY for the programs you write. And, if you do find a writer, I would also suggest you dumb it down so that anyone that has never used a CMS, can understand, step by step, how to accomplish their goals. I will say that in the past, I have suggested that “editors” for websites, use the manual for Joomla, just to learn the basics of how to use a CMS. Even though I have never used that particular CMS, I have to applaud them in having the best user manual I have ever run across. #2: After your program is available to the open market, take a tip from a professional sales person. It’s the SERVICE after the SALE, that will get customers coming back year after year. So why not get ONE and only ONE message board on your own website or better yet, one good bb type board on the website of the CMS, so their users can ask all of there questions in one place. 3: Finally, to the developers of the CMS programs that don’t have their own website, if you can’t afford to spring for your own domain name and web hosting, you might want to consider another future profession.

  • NEW REVIEW E107 was once great, easy to work with and had a good community. Now it's a JOKE!!!! All communications and support have been shut off. I do a search for help on E107, and ALL searches take me to the main page. No longer to the great forum and community that once was. OLD users are left high and dry. The remnants of a forum are left read-only, IF you can even find it. No other way to get support. I picture lemmings, falling off a cliff. I was one of them..... I wasted 10 years learning and using E107. Following it. Contributing. Now, all previous support, community, etc.. is GONE. RUN from this CMS and don't look back. Patterns are called patterns for a reason. It will happen again to this new version as long as it's run the same way as it always has been. E107 may look good up front, but the wizards behind the curtain are idiots. They've destroyed a community., removed support, and ignore any communication. RUN!!! There were signs, I just didn't want to see it. Great support was replaced by silence. Or Sarcastic help that drove users away in droves. More and more of the good moving on.... I should have seen it coming..... Look at the team size!!! Almost nothing now, where once it was full of smart, energetic and communicative programmers. I HATE I wasted so much learning this, only to be sent to a dead end. Seems they want to forget about the OLD versions and community and start fresh. Maybe let someone else do Support and just slowly make a new version. Yet they still look for donations, without supplying the long term help. I hate to watch this epic fail in progress. I wish I could buy this so-called "e107, Inc" and run it like a business SHOULD be run. But I am afraid it's too late. Time to move on. But it's so aggravating. In the RIGHT hands, this CMS HAD amazing potential. That's what hurts. *************** OLD 5 STAR *************** I searched for a CMS after spending too much time trying to design one on my own (in perl, yuck!!!). I ended up finding opensourcecms.com over 6 years ago. I tried a number of the demos and narrowed it down to about 6 (many being the more mentioned names). I ended up selecting e107. Positives. * Solid core * Easily modifiable themes. * Easy to design Plugins (Blocks/Menus) * Easy to understand Language system. * Stable, every version I've ran. * Good community and wiki for docs and solutions to problems. Negatives. * Minor errors in some existing themes and Menu's. e107 is a good choice to create a unique looking site quickly, but it may not be the best choice for non-programmers who can't fix minor issues in themes and plugins to make them perfect, or those who can't find any existing plugins they want. However, if you are even a basic html/php programmer, or smart enough to follow directions to edit files, then I think e107 is an excellent foundation for a website. 1. Minor issues with themes, languages, and Plugins can be fixed or modified easily. 2. Simple Themes and Menu's can be dissected and understood easily to teach you to create custom ones. I go back to opensourcecms.com annually to see the newest additions or releases, and I still find e107 the simplest to customize. It really didn't take all that long to open a theme, or Plugin, and dissect and understand them well enough to create my own easily. I'd recommend at least loading it, testing it, dissecting a theme and dissecting a simple plugin so you will see how stable and easily customizeable it really is.
  • Very good CMS; perfect for developers and with the upcoming v8 also very flexible for designers.. Hail e107!
  • This is one of the most flexible cms systems I've had the privilege of working with. Most of the mod writers and support staff are knowledgable, helpful, and courteous. One of the best things about e107 is the theme customization potential. .
