• TL;DR Network: any ideas for a fitting CMS, or any ideas on how to achieve this plan?
    7 replies, posted
Hello everyone Extremely sorry if in the wrong category, but with all the categories killed a while ago I was not sure where to post this. I recently acquired the URL "http://tldr.network", with all the new domain names and such I was picked to have this (reserved) with the motivation that I wanted to create a network where people can share posts that are pretty short, but very useful. For example news posts, learning material, quick facts and such as. I didn't really think I would get this domain name, but now I have it. I still really would love to create a network such as this, I've been experiencing with some different CMS's and so on, but not yet have found one that fits. My question is if anyone knows how to achieve a it (what kind of CMS, or anything a like). Any help will be greatly appreciated and I'd love to hear feedback on the idea. Anyone's whose willing to help me out can me hit me up at any time. Of course I'd still be looking for people who can actively contribute to the network. Thanks an awful lot and can't wait to hear back from you guys:buckteeth:
If you want to do this right, you'll need a bit more effort. You need to make a plan and create rules, your own design, your own code, marketing and moderation (and bookkeeping), or hire people to do these things for you. What you're looking to do is a bit too specific to be done well by premade solutions. I mean, sure, you can just sorta wing it, install WordPress with a free theme and allow people to submit posts to you or something like that, and get maybe 50 users together, but that's not what you want, right?
Would a wiki not be suitable for this? I'm sure you could theme it to suit shorter articles, and all the moderation stuff is built-in.
Probably sounds a bit dumb, but you [I]could[/I] just make a subreddit and redirect it to that.
The idea was to make it like a news site -ish where post are moderated and such. People post the (long) source story/proof of the fact. That's why I'm looking for a CMS that fits. Definitely not linking it to a sub reddit. Thanks everyone for their comments so far
Anyone got anymore thoughts? Kindest regards
The one I use professionally is Drupal 7, it's a good base and has a great variety of free modules.
