postnuke or phpnuke?

[Duke]

All of my sites are currently in phpnuke as it was the Power Tool offered as part of my webhosting package when I signed up with Canaca. I've since secured a new webhost that will allow me to upload all phpnuke sites but they will require modifications.

They support postnuke and believe it to be marginally more secure than phpnuke. In your experience, which is the better CMS?

I used postnuke at another website which first got me into being a webmaster and must say that I seem to remember it having less modules and addons, but those available seemed much better and more configurable than phpnuke modules.

Thoughts?

Anyone have any opinions on this at all?

If no one here is using phpnuke or postnuke, what CMS are you using for your websites and why?

Definitely Post Nuke, its far more stable than PHPNuke, I have used it to power this site www.gamesareus.com for over 4 years. Prior to that I used PHP Nuke and I had loads of problems with PHPNuke

Great, thanks for the info temi. I'm 90% sure I'll be moving to postnuke but the question is, how to transfer my databases?

Its quite easy (at least in the days when I use post nuke). Just install postnuke over you current php nuke, it will get to a stage where it as if its a fresh install or an upgrade, select upgrade, it will then ask you what you want to upgrade from.

WARNING. This was the way it was about 2-3 years ago, it much has changed now, please read the documentation to see if its still possible to upgrade this way I could be wrong.

In the days when I was a big post nuke fan I even register this domain name and provides post nuke into: www.postnuke.org.uk

I'll definately register there and ask the same questions. That would be awesome if it were that easy.

Thanks again temi!
