Need a good Oracle friendly CMS to host our blog

[znotes]

I'm trying to convince my tech dept to take our blog off of a subdomain and move it to a folder on our root domain. Understandably, they don't want to build it from scratch, so I need some good CMS tools to build the blog.

Our first choice is Wordpress but it isn't compatible with Oracle. Does anybody know of any good solutions that are Oracle-friendly? Our platform is PHP..

Thanks!!

I don't know how helpful this is (process of elimination perhaps :)), but we're not very happy with stellant.  Everything just seems 3 times more difficult than it needs to be.

No that's definitely helpful thank you! We'll make sure to not use them

Not sure how your IT Dept is about LAMP stacks....

I am of course assuming you are using Linux and Oracle....

And that your IT dept will allow a MYSQL database, as this is something you will not be able to get around.

Hope this helps in some way

Yeah unfortunately they aren't ready to manage an additional DB

Well I know you can use Drupal with Oracle since version 7 now supports PDO, and there are even some modules out there to do the heavy lifting for you.

However, for a blog Drupal is probably overkill. I would question your IT depts decision about not wanting to use MySQL/Wordpress before looking at using Drupal for just a blog.

I've never used these lesser known CMS's, but you can try them out, they all work with Oracle db: ez publish, Mysource Matrix, Silverstripe, Typo3
