Sitellite CMS Review
CMS Roundup: The search for the perfect Content Management System
Homepage: http://sitellite.org/ Demo: http://sitellite.org/index/org-demoReg-form Download: Size: 5 mb (compressed)Installation:
I uploaded the tar file to my server, and followed the directions in their /documentation/install file. After a few changes to the /inc/conf/config.ini.php file, I was up and running. Note: It is recommended that you have Telnet or SSH access to the server to install. I first tried by extracting on my computer, FTPing the files up, and using FTP to chmod, and I had a few problems.
First Impression
To login, go to http://yourdomain.com/sitellite . The admin interface is very clean, even though a few things are hard to find (the 'Add User' button for example). The admin interface is a template as well, so you can edit that if you want to use it on your clients site.
Templates
To create your own template, duplicate the /inc/html/default folder, and name it something else. Then open up the /inc/conf/config.ini.php file, and change the word default to the name of the duplicated folder in the line default_template_set = "default". Upload the new folder and config.ini.php file. Try it out by going to http://yourdomain.com/ . You should see a Sitellite example site.
In that directory, open up html.default.tpl. This is the template file that the pages will use. Notice the line <p xt:replace="body">. This is the template engine Sitellite uses. Look for more of these tags in the document. Most of them are pretty self explanatory. Now past in your template page, but place <p xt:replace="body"> where you want your content, <title xt:content="php: intl_get (object.title)"></title> for your page title, etc. You can learn more about these commands here.
The learning code is not to bad for this program. The most important concept to know is 'boxes'. These are short PHP scripts that you can add to the page with the command . You can make your own, or use the 'boxes' that came with Sitellite. To find some boxes to use, click on 'AppDoc' under tools on the far right of the admin page. When you find something you want, copy the text under "Usage" to your template file, or a new page (click on 'Source' under the formfield for entering content.)
Things I learned
Hopefully I can quickly answer some questions that took me hours to solve.
To create an item in the menu that will be a link to a page that is not part of the CMS (i.e. put a link to Google in your menu), create a new page, then click on the 'Properties' tab, and by the line 'Alias (of a URL)', enter the URL you would like to link to (i.e. http://www.google.com) Last, some pages will not show up in the menu, and it is impossible to put them there without creating them again (I think this may be because I edited their example pages to make some new pages. Make sure you create your own home page, about us page, etc).
Cool things
The admin panel is a theme just like the site is. This means if you sell a site to a client using this CMS, you can easily make the admin interface match your branding (add your logo, etc.).
Match to Requirements
- Page-Based: Yes. Very clean structure
- Runs on LAMP: Yes.
- Runs on shared hosting: Yes.
- WYSIWYG editing: Yes.
- Friendly URLS: Yes.
- Open-Source: Yes.
- Easy template engine: Good. Uses "boxes" which are hard until you understand them.
- Flexibility: To add PHP code, you have to make your own "box" or module.
- Modules and Built in Applications: A few useful ones - forum, search, FAQ, etc.
- User Management: Good. Multiple Admins. Publish controls
- E-commerce: Not that I can see. Probably could add though.
- XHTML / Standards Compliant: Yes. This is the only one that went to XHTML already.
- Auto-Generation of Bread Crumb Navigation: Yes.
- Usable UI: Hard to find some things.
- Easy Installation: Fairly simple, but I ran into a few problems.
- Documentation: Not much. And the project doesn't seem very "open source". They aren't on sourceforge.
Pros
- Simplicity: Very simple admin panel.
- Content Structure: Very usable.
- Flexibility: Compared to other CMS's, this is pretty easy to hack.
Cons
- Flexibility:
- Community: Not really.
- Documentation: There is little or no documentation for this program. There is no community (the forums only have about 50 posts), so you will have to write your own modules. Maybe when this program matures and has a larger open source base, it will be better.
Conclusion
I integrated the CMS into the site in around 3 hours (this was with no prior experience), which was better than I expected. It is very powerful if you are willing to get your hands dirty in PHP and create your own 'boxes'. Like Exponent, there is not much of a community or documentation, so there is a steep learning curve. Once you have some experience, it will get easier. If this CMS continues to be improved, it could be much better, but until then, I like Exponent better.

19 comments so far (post your own)I too really like Satellite, however development has ground to a halt in the fall of 2004, as the owners go off in other directions.
Check out PHP-FUSION from England...

while looking for open source CRM software *(sugarCRM.com), I came accross Mambo and then accross you. Your 3-product comparison was very useful. We're at a point that we have to do make our website more dynamic yet easier to maintain. Mambo might just be want we need. And your programming rates are pretty good too. Where are you located?

I'm reading all your reviews.
I'm trying to select the best CMS for <a href='http://www.vmdg.com.au'>Vista Media Group</a>. Still looking :)
I found the Exponent only uses index.php with different parameters which is not very good for search engines spiders since they like to see many different pages.
I found Mambo hard to modify and haven't install Satellite yet.

LIKE many people, I get about a dozen emails a day bearing news good and bad. The bad is that my penis is too small, too soft and lacking the endurance to satisfy a fruit fly. The good is I can build a longer, stronger and everlasting erection for a few hundred dollars — by taking miracle pills.
Example: "Get ready to be stopped by women in the street. Your entire image will emanate increased size! This is what you to Jack's magic beans, except penis-enlargement pills don't work so spectacularly. To get the extra always needed to lead a happier, more fulfilling life."
What's being promised is akin inches requires at least a six-month commitment. But the pills need to be taken with an out loud to reinforce the commitment that will lead to your ultimate success." exercise program — "jelqing" — including drills similar to stretching hamstrings before jogging. To see what it takes to become a Mr Big, go to enlargepenisguide.com. You'll find a nude man, a fairly happy man one imagines, pretending to be a clock, with what appears to be a baby's arm grafted to his pubic bone as the minute hand.
By the time I found this impressive fellow, I'd already paid $106 for a month's supply of SizePro (chosen because of its professional-sounding name) and followed these instructions: "Type your name, the number of inches you want to gain, and the reason(s) you want to gain those inches in the blanks below. And read the completed statement
And so my colleagues heard me pledge earnestly: "I, John Elder, have decided I want to gain two inches in length and one inch in girth (I felt modest ambition would minimise disappointment). My reasons are vanity. And I'm committed to a good penis-pill system until I reach my desired gains."
If I hadn't made this pledge, I could have abandoned the project — particularly after spotting Mr Baby Arm, whom I presume is also trying to improve himself. And that's the rub. If you're born with one of these ridiculous organs, there are times when just about every man feels short-changed.
The average size of an erect penis is about 15.24 centimetres — six inches in the old money. (When talking about penis size, it's traditional to use inches.) The sad thing is it seems there are many men living fretfully with a ruler in one hand and a world of hope in the other. To meet some of these people, return to http://enlargepenisguide.com — and log on to the "progress reports" forum. You'll find men apparently taking the pills, diligently jelqing (stretching a flaccid penis) and sharing how it's hanging. Like Nicky: "I'm 21, and, measured from the pelvic bone, the length of my penis is around 7.5 inches, but I've always wanted to be large like a porn star. I've been doing the exercise a few days now …"
Occasionally, someone claims spectacular results. The simple reason is that the pills — herbal aphrodisiacs, not muscle-building proteins — give little more than an illusion of growth by concentrating blood in the otherwise shrivelled underbelly. But the real joke is that the more anxious one becomes about penis size, the more it is likely to shrink.
"The curious thing about our society, most of the time we pretend that the penis doesn't shrink," says David Mitchell, a doctor and a medical anthropologist. "In fact, the penis doesn't have a set flaccid size. It's actually meaningless to measure the size of the penis because it varies from minute to minute according to the temperature and one's state of mind. The trouble is, if you get anxious, it only makes it smaller, to the point where it can disappear … of these attacks — known as "shrinking penis disease" — on the Indonesian island of Flores, where black magic is widely practised. In these instances, the sufferer believes he will die if his penis disappears. The last outbreak in a modern society occurred in Singapore in 1962, following a rumour that eating pork vaccinated against swine fever would cause shrinking penis disease.
"There were people rushing through the streets holding their penises … some of them using chopsticks," Dr Mitchell says. "As soon as they hit the hospital and started to relax, they came back to normal."
Dr Mitchell says the disease could re-emerge in the Western world. "It could come back again in our society if someone spread the right stories around," he says.
Chris Fox, of La Trobe University, is doing a PhD on penis size and its role in body image. So far, he has interviewed 15 men aged 20 to 75. "The short answer is that every man at some point in his life worries about the size of his penis," Mr Fox says. "If we don't like our penis we won't enjoy sex. For people with a pathological issue with penis size, it will affect their sex life.
"In some cases it will affect how they behave around other men. And one has to remember that most people make their comparison with a flaccid penis — at the urinal or in a change room. The only erections we tend to see are the very big penises on porn stars … and my interview subjects didn't feel threatened by these giant penises because they felt they weren't real. It's in the real world that anxiety takes root."in cases where anxiety spirals into a panic attack."
Dr Mitchell has researched a recent outbreak.

I've been using wordpress and it's fairly easy to maintain. There are lots of plugins and some are specific to SEO and that has helped me a lot to get the search engines to pick up my posts about penis enlargment, male health and male sexuality. The only thing that is kind of a pain is that they seem to update versions often and sometimes the newer versions break the plugins :(

But the real joke is that the more anxious one becomes about penis size, the more it is likely to shrink.
"The curious thing about our society, most of the time we pretend that the penis doesn't shrink," says David Mitchell, a doctor and a medical anthropologist. "In fact, the penis doesn't have a set flaccid size. It's actually meaningless to measure the size of the penis because it varies from minute to minute according to the temperature and one's state of mind. The trouble is, if you get anxious, it only makes it smaller, to the point where it can disappear … in cases where anxiety spirals into a panic attack."
Dr Mitchell has researched a recent outbreak of these attacks — known as "shrinking penis disease" — on the Indonesian island of Flores, where black magic is widely practised. In these instances, the sufferer believes he will die if his penis disappears. The last outbreak in a modern society occurred in Singapore in 1962, following a rumour that eating pork vaccinated against swine fever would cause shrinking penis disease.
"There were people rushing through the streets holding their penises … some of them using chopsticks," Dr Mitchell says. "As soon as they hit the hospital and started to relax, they came back to normal."
Dr Mitchell says the disease could re-emerge in the Western world. "It could come back again in our society if someone spread the right stories around," he says.
Chris Fox, of La Trobe University, is doing a PhD on penis size and its role in body image. So far, he has interviewed 15 men aged 20 to 75. "The short answer is that every man at some point in his life worries about the size of his penis," Mr Fox says. "If we don't like our penis we won't enjoy sex. For people with a pathological issue with penis size, it will affect their sex life.
"In some cases it will affect how they behave around other men. And one has to remember that most people make their comparison with a flaccid penis — at the urinal or in a change room. The only erections we tend to see are the very big penises on porn stars … and my interview subjects didn't feel threatened by these giant penises because they felt they weren't real. It's in the real world that anxiety takes root.”

LIKE many people, I get about a dozen emails a day bearing news good and bad. The bad is that mypenis is too small, too soft and lacking the endurance to satisfy a fruit fly. The good is I can build a longer, stronger and everlasting erection for a few hundred dollars — by taking miracle pills.
Example: "Get ready to be stopped by women in the street. Your entire image will emanate increased size! This is what you always needed to lead a happier, more fulfilling life."
What's being promised is akin to Jack's magic beans, except penis-enlargement pills don't work so spectacularly. To get the extra inches requires at least a six-month commitment. But the pills need to be taken with an exercise program — "jelq" — including drills similar to stretching hamstrings before jogging. To see what it takes to become a Mr Big, go to enlargepenisguide.com. You'll find a nude man, a fairly happy man one imagines, pretending to be a clock, with what appears to be a baby's arm grafted to his pubic bone as the minute hand.
By the time I found this impressive fellow, I'd already paid $106 for a month's supply of SizePro (chosen because of its professional-sounding name) and followed these instructions: "Type your name, the number of inches you want to gain, and the reason(s) you want to gain those inches in the blanks below. And read the completed statement out loud to reinforce the commitment that will lead to your ultimate success."
And so my colleagues heard me pledge earnestly: "I, John Elder, have decided I want to gain two inches in length and one inch in girth (I felt modest ambition would minimise disappointment). My reasons are vanity. And I'm committed to a good penis-pill system until I reach my desired gains."
If I hadn't made this pledge, I could have abandoned the project — particularly after spotting Mr Baby Arm, whom I presume is also trying to improve himself. And that's the rub. If you're born with one of these ridiculous organs, there are times when just about every man feels short-changed.
The average size of an erect penis is about 15.24 centimetres — six inches in the old money. (When talking about penis size, it's traditional to use inches.) The sad thing is it seems there are many men living fretfully with a ruler in one hand and a world of hope in the other. To meet some of these people, return to http://enlargepenisguide.com — and log on to the "progress reports" forum. You'll find men apparently taking the pills, diligently jelqing (stretching a flaccid penis) and sharing how it's hanging. Like Nicky: "I'm 21, and, measured from the pelvic bone, the length of my penis is around 7.5 inches, but I've always wanted to be large like a porn star. I've been doing the exercise a few days now …"
