Help me choose a CMS

[mattspec]

hey all looking for a new cms for my new site!

Main features NEEDED!

-Something with a home landing page

-A message board (preferably something like smf, phpbb, etc)

-Something themeable

-Something with a visual cart (yes a shopping cart this is a MUST!)

all of these features do not need to come stock with the cms BUT DO! need to be available for free as a 3rd party app

thanks

-Matt

i would have to say joomla

I like Joomla as well. It has a ton of add on components, modules, etc. that are 100% free.

I wouldn't quite say that. Not all add-ons / mods for Joomla are free.

yeah, not all add-ons/mods are free.

e107 has phpbb3 and joomla has a smf plugin

right now im trying joomla with virtuemart + fireboard, seems to be working pretty alright the only thing im not liking is the way templates are manipulated by "zones" or whatever they call them...and its hard to customize where i can put a user bar etc

I recommend you use e107, it's more flexible.
