Hello all! I'm looking for a XML-based Content Management System (CMS). I've looked on Google, HotScripts, ScriptSearch, Yahoo, and a few others I can't think of right now.

I know it's probably a dumb thing, but all the free asp news posting scripts I've seen bite the dust (which is why they're free). I doubt anyone would want to pay for a script, I don't have the money.

Any help would be great.

first question:

what scripting language are you using?

I'd guess from your posts, asp .net (ick...)

ASP/.NET yes....it's the only thing I can..

I hate it to, and if I could figure out how to setup NewsPro or Coranto, I would (Affinity's tech support isn't to good).

I've been wanting to talk to Dave (the guy who bought the deal from Affinity), to switch servers (I know many great PHP-scripts).

Whats wrong with ASP.NET? Its just as free as PHP, all you have to do is download the SDK from Microsoft and run it on IIS. And its not scripted, its compiled and executes in a runtime.

There is sample code all over the MSDN showing how to manipulate RSS feeds.

That's what's "ick" about it. Winblows, M$, .NET...

ICK indeed.

i hate ASP because i learned PHP first, and its easier to be snobby than learn another language. o.O

btw: why an xml cms? whats wrong with a normal cms? why do you even need a cms? dreamweaver does includes for you automagically. and if all you want is newsposting it seems like a better idea to just have a normal newsposter and write a template that parses as a valid rss feed.

just wondering.

I hate ASP because of that and because Microsoft owns it.

Nothing is wrong, it was just something I was looking for...I'd gladly take any other CMS/News posting script. Dreamweaver is something I hate using....just my own opinion.

All news-posting-scripts I've found for ASP suck (ones that are free). If anyone has a script or a resource, please post it.

One of the better ones I've seen:

http://www.movabletype.org/

It uses perl & mysql, if I remember right.
And, there are add-ons to export an xml/rss feed.

Thank you, but I'm looking for something w/ ASP and Access DB stuff....since our server is Windows :'(

I'll still look at it though, thanks again.

just because MS owns it, never really struck me as a good rationale.

many of their products are... subpar if you ask me, but that doesn't mean all of their products suck. IMO Windows XP's user interface has OSX beat...

You could run Perl, PHP, MySQL, etc. on Windows, you know :) Especially if it is your own server. I have PHP and MySQL on an XP system (IIS 5.1) for web development.

I think I will probably write an XML system like that this summer :) No guarantees though. It is not that hard really, especially since .Net has built-in XML support.

I had PHP and MySQL running on mine for a while....but I took it off (if anyone knows of any good server software, please tell me).
