Hello

 

I'm creating a site that I just want to have some simple data in (basically a list of books for a book club - I would just need Title of Book, Month / Year Read and whether just nominated or selected to read - In various places in website I'd call in data - for example a 'current read' book and 'past reads' list) I think I could create a simple cms using php and mysql but I have no idea about security.

 

So I'm wondering if there are any tiny cms open source ones out there that connect to a database and are very easy to manipulate (I've been trying anchor but I'm struggling with getting it to do what I want it to do) or how I go about securing a custom built cms?

 

Any thoughts or info much appreciated

 

Thanks in advance

 

 

I think you should go with drupal CMS. There are various advance pluggins that will help you alot, you may try

Thanks

Haha Drupal is way too much power for something this simple. Talk about overkill. Let's try not to use a bulldozer to swat a fly shall we.

 

Try Pyro or GetSimple. Perch would also work but isn't free and don't see any reason to spend money but it would work nicely.

You could search www.hotscripts.com and search for a simple application to manage the data, otherwise have a look at https://buildwithcraft.com/ or http://www.statamic.com/ or http://ellislab.com/expressionengine (go for free core version) - all of these will allow you to set up your data in any way you want and also offer very easy ways to extend datasets.
