Introduction

It is initially advisable to present the role of a CMS (Content System Management) or SGC (Système de Gestion de Contenu, in French). It is about a tool of administration of Web sites contents, it makes possible to define new pages, new headings, to update and to reorganize information without directly modifying the source code of pages. This interface for the non-specialist users offers functionalities which make the site live, structure it and offer other possibilities that we will enumerate in this document.

The CMS thus allow a considerable saving of time for the contributors, webmasters and other speakers on the site. We could compare CMS with the panel administration, often developed separately, which makes possible to the customer to parameterize and update the site without entering the sources. The CMS constitute advanced panels of administration which offers a huge number of possibilities, then it is about to choose one of them which is appropriate for the needs expressed by the customer.

After a preliminary study (carried out within my partnership/internship) between the CMS: Mambo, PHPNuke, SPIP ; it seems that the Open Source CMS Typo3 (www.typo3.com : commercial site and www.typo3.org : site of the developers) emerges from these competitors compared to its wide and evolutionary functionalities. Moreover, it is free and has nothing to envy these paying competitors.

Today, it is the most powerful of the CMS tools in PHP. We will present Typo3 and expose its assets and defects.
