Dynamic/changing content using CSS or?

Question

I've tried using both Joomla and Drupal, but the former is a pain in the neck to create pages with, and the latter seems to be lacking the real power I need in website design and creation. I am ready to turn back to CSS, but the problem is the dynamic content. iframes are bad to use, but I still want to be able to make a menu that I can change only once. I don't know enough php, and I can't build MySQL databases. Any suggestions on what I can use. I need a setup for a huge network site with multiple components. Think http://backpacker.com. Any suggestions? I would really prefer a CMS system if at all possible, but Joomla is freaking out and won't load the style sheet past the homepage for some reason.

Answer 1

Although Joomla is a good CMS my whole runs of it: http://wolfbatinc.com/

CSS does not give you dynamic content. CSS only help with the design and style of the site.



For a website like http://backpacker.com I suggest going back to Joomla! With the right template design you can get a site that looks like http://backpacker.com.



I once had a problem just like yours "won't load the style sheet past the homepage for some reason."

I found out that I uninstalled a component that went with a module. So maybe that helped go back a check if you uninstalled any componets/modules that got together.

Justin - I've used Wordpress in the past and that's been pretty good. Could change the css - the main pages they have a link in the admin pages and for extra pages easily done. Don't know the deets about why Joomla isn't loading the css for the other pages, but look at where you're putting the page at. At the CMS systems need you to have files in absolutely specific directories - that might be the prob. Good luck!

Create a file.css containing your stylesheet. Do: Inside your HEAD section. Ha, sorry, misunderstood. SSI it is. :D
