    glFusion Description

    glFusion gives you the ability to easily create websites and online communities complete with add-ons like Forums, CAPTCHA/Spam filters, Calendars, File & Media Gallery management solutions, WYSIWYG editors, and MooTools AJAX support, all right out of the box.

    What makes glFusion different from the vast array of CMS or blog platforms available?

    The answer is integration. Rather than develop a small core system, and rely on 3rd party plugins to extend functionality, glFusion gives you a majority of the tools you might need, in a single robust package.

    The benefit of this development approach is a tight integration between different parts of the system, without having to hunt down 3rd party plugins, make sure they're compatible, go through compatibility pains when one component releases an upgrade, but the other parts of the system don't and it breaks, etc.

    We figure you already have enough stress in your life, why should you have more! Welcome to glFusion, where you can have synergy, stability, and style!

    Unique features include:

    • Automated 3rd Party Plugin Installation - Upload plugin archives directly through an online interface. glFusion will extract the archive and put all files in their proper places. All you have to do is click Install!

    • Integrated Menu Builder - Allows you to change the site menus using an online editor!

    • Direct WYSIWYG Integration - See exactly how your story will look as you type it!

    • Pre-Installed Plugins - Additional functionality and enhanced security:

      • Bad Behavior2 - A great tool that blocks bot attacks, spam bots, and other nasties from the Internet.

      • CAPTCHA - Ensures that humans are the only ones entering content on your site.

      • Forum - A community collaboration and discussion tool.

      • FileMgmt - A complete File Manager for your site.

      • Media Gallery - A complete multi-media manager.

    glFusion is fully documented and gives you a true XHTML compliant site with a pure CSS driven layout. The design is SEO friendly and is also accessible by screen readers and other assistance tools used by the visually impaired.

    Best and easiest Open Source CMS, setup in no time and loads and loads of extra's for your users! Needs themes so if you're a digital artist come on and get into GLF, once you start you'll get hooked. Support is AWESOME, advanced features, constantly updated, multi language(!) etc.
    I would recommend GLF to everybody being so flexible in setup and extensions, give it a try, you'll love it!

    This is an awesome CMS ! If you are searching for a replacement to your old and decaying system....look no further.
    *forum
    *gallery
    *calendar
    *download system
    What else do you need? This has it all straight out of the box!

    Not many themes !?

    First off, what a fantastic piece of kit we have here. While the CMS itself may have a few areas on which it can improve, the staff team are constantly aware of this, constantly improving it version after version, and constantly listening to user thoughts and opinions.

    At first the themeing process go's right over anyones head, but as soon as you sit down, and read their well written documenation wiki, you'll be fast to realise exactly how it works, and why it's so great to use.

    Whilst there isnt a constant stream of plugins, the essentials are already present, in the form of forums, private messaging, media gallery, and so on. As more people with experience come to this CMS, we can no doubt expect to see these plugins further improved, and even new plugins popping up.

    I currently run a site using Glfusion (http://combatarms-eu.com) and it seems to have been fairly successful since site release. I certainly have no complaints from an admins point of view. Any issues we have stumbled across have either been resolves quickly by mark and geiss on the glfusion forums, or been fixed and added to the next update of glfusion.

    I love this CMS ,but one thing it should have integration with phpbb3+ other than that everything is super easy. low learning curve

    This CMS has everything built in. A Photo Gallery, Forum, Calendar, easy to use Admin panel and many more features. I tried many other products including some paid ones, this one in my opinion is the best.

    This is a very very very good CMS!

    I tried other cms' (like Joomla, PHP-Fusion, WordPress) and non of them have the power of this one! :D It has it all, but you'll need some time (and i mean TIME) to get used to it. The only thing that's disappointing me is that it consumes to much memory_limit from the webhost server, but if you can set this to a bigger MB then it's ok.

    CMS, Blog, Lot of Plugins (Media Gallery, Forum, Calendar, FileManager, DokuWiki and more!) is what makes this CMS the BEST

    This is my own opinion :)

    The only CMS which has integrated: CMS, Forum, File management and Image gallery. Hands down its one of the best. In the past the problem was not having custom templates but with the release of the Chameleon plugin that issue is no more. Once installed the admin really has nothing to do..the site is running by itself, blocking spam in the story comments and on the forums too. It has been rock solid for the past 3 years. I only hope that the people behind the script get paid what they deserve.

    I have been using Geeklog for a long time. It was starting to get stale so I tried out Drupal. What a mistake. It is just way too much. With the very latest glFusion, I don't see why you would need to look elsewhere. Some one mentioned they got hacked. I have NEVER had any of my Geeklog/glFusion sites get hacked. There were recently some security holes that got plugged rather quickly. It was simple for me to install the fixes.

    If you want simplicity, flexibilty, straight forward answers, and a very helpful community, then use glFusion. And PELASE send them a little something for their effort. They deserve far more than I can afford so if we all give a little something then it is no burden on anyone of us.

    I use this tool for so many non-profit organizations from schools, scouting units, social services, churches, mosques, etc.

    Got hacked. Have installed many Open Source CMS packages, found this one to be a bit burdensome on so many folder permissions, but followed instructions to letter and was up in under 3 hours.

    I Put in good password, and then, as I always do, I did everything suggested to keep it secure. Then I put it up to see how it would fare against the hacker bots. Less than 10 days, it was toast.

    Not sure how they did it, but it seemed to be related to language folders and cache files.

    Anyway, I thought the back end and the look was fantastic, especially for business needs, but can't risk this one yet.

    i would like to say that this cms is indeed 10/10 rating.
    FAST, SO AWESOME, BEAUTIFUL, FAST SUPPORT, MODERN, USER FRIENDLY AND BEST of the BEST that i have come so far.

    Fantastic cms. Doesnt have all the bells & whistles of other bloated big names. Quick response to questions in their forums and they address security issues very fast.
    If you want a cms to run a functional, secure, but not bloated website, this is your choice.
    Posted By: Sammern on March 28 2009 10:49 am
    The most user friendly cms out there! The support is fantastic.

    The only thing i miss is Glfusion serial for breakfast:)
