I’m looking for a CMS based on CodeIgniter. Can you suggest what CMS I could use?

I want to learn how to build a CodeIgniter application based using a CMS as a reference.

There's a list of CodeIgniter CMS's in the CodeIgniter directory here.

Also, for what it's worth, starting off by basing your code on a fully-fledged CMS is probably a bad idea - CMS's tend to be very complex web applications, and following what's going on in the code is likely to be a challenge if you're just getting started.

I haven't seen the cms, but if it has ci behind it, the code can't be that bad/hard :)

You could also learn alot by looking at a CodeIgniter cms tutorial.

ExpressionEngine 2 - costs, but is clearly the best.

PyroCMS - free and although looks ugly as sin, the v0.9.8-dev branch is very promising. Does lots more than just blogging.

DBlog - just blogging, but does it well.

I have checked Expression Engine (EE), but I'm not sure that EE use CI. because I'm not see model there. and there is no helper library.am I right ?

ExpressionEngine 1.x had a similar codebase (CodeIgniter was mostly made up of libraries used by ExpressionEngine and extra bits) but ExpressionEngine 2 has been built on top of CodeIgniter 1.7.x.It uses some overloading, extending and other trickery to give CodeIgniter extra oomph, but it is a full CodeIgniter application.What is a helper library? ;-)

MaxSite CMS is based on CodeIgniter. http://max-3000.com/

A: 

For free solutions, there are most probably better options available if you look beside just the Codeigniter ones. However, building sites on top of CMS's are in most cases very limiting. (Solely depending on the demanded level of the site of course.)

Take a look at this template library: http://codeigniter.com/wiki/Simple_Template_Library/

Together with the active record class that codeigniter offers, you will be up and developing sites in no time at all. Without any boundaries of course!

PyroCMS have a good set of features, and modular design so you can use it as a base to develop a website. The code is in github, so you can download the latest version from it directly with ease, if you have git installed.

The creator of this CMS, Phil Sturgeon is also a member here, so you can put your question about this CMS here, and hopefully he can respond it directly.

codefight cms is based on codeigniter as well.

Expression Engine is probably the Fastest and Neatest CMS out there. Joomla , Drupal and Stuff are clearly bloated and very slow relatively to EE Performance. Just Try to Download EE , Joomla and Drupal and see for yourself !
