I came across (yet another!) open source CMS, SilverStripe. After a run through the CMS features I though I’d give the tutorials a quick shot.
Turns out, this CMS is actually really nice! It’s bare bones, but in a way different than most bare bones or lite CMSs. It runs on their own PHP OOP framework, Sapphire.
So far I’m really digging this CMS. It acts as a fantastic templating system, with layout and partial templates. And it’s pretty easy to make some new content types.
Next steps: Going to create some extra content types (extend Page) and have a go at creating some forms. Hopefully, these areas will work smoothly!

I started using SS to do a lot of my work. But I just cant find documentation/tutorials on the Sapphire framework. Other then that it’s in the top 5 CMS’s I have ever came across.
