Exponent CMS
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Exponent CMS is a free, open source, open standards modular enterprise software framework and content management system (CMS) written in the programming language PHP. Exponent CMS uses an editing system that allows content to be managed and edited on the page as it is displayed to a normal site visitor. There is no back-end administration system on an Exponent CMS powered site as all the content management is handled through the front-end web template. The default installation includes a complete set of modules for managing a typical website. Additional modules are developed by a community of open source developers and can be installed via a web browser. Exponent CMS can be installed in a Linux, Unix, Mac OS X or Windows environment, or any platform that supports the Apache web server and the PHP language (version 4.0.6+). Exponent CMS requires a database such as MySQL (4.1+) or PostgreSQL (5.0+) to store content and settings.
