SiteDepth CMS - opinions?

[The Invader]

I'm trying to decide on which CMS to use for my adult website and www.sitedepth.com is an option, as it is a dedicated Adult CMS.

Does anyone have any experience of this CMS?

I had originally settled on the free Joomla CMS, but so far haven't found a CCBill plug-in for Joomla.

Thanks

Not used it but I note that it uses Imagemagick. GDLib creates better thumbnails and does it quite a bit faster, at least that's my personal opinion and experience.

Other than that I'm afraid I'm not much help but Omni Secure does a Joomla plugin

I've since found that apparently aMember also works with Joopmla. It's cheaper than Omni Secure but perhaps not so easy to use and integrate.

I didnt find that at all Jacques, to do anything (well almost) you need NETBPM, then to do anything you have to convert your src image to a GD native format, work on it, then convert it back, making it resource heavy.

Granted on a basic job GD is slightly faster, but also more overheads and higher server load than IM, I found IM made better quality thumbnails, and the speed issue, isnt going to be realistically noticable on small scales.

I was using PHP with GD and NetBPM, and PHP Image Magick when i was learning, and now IM is my tool of choice. You should try converting an image from a GIF to a PNG in GD or making an Image Black and White, doing more than a half dozen your server will start to splutter hehehe.

Is gif now supported by GD? Weren't there licensing issues?

We need an edit button!!! I didn't realize the issues were done and dusted a while ago....bugger!!!!

But to be fair I've only ever used GD and IM for jpg files and that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.........
