Recommend PHP/MySQL CMS with paid/premium content support

I am looking at some solutions for building a site with a mix of free and paid/premium content (no, it's not porn). I gather that Drupal has the Premium plugin which supports this. I'm also looking at Expression Engine, which seems to have some built in support for this, although Paypal is the only payment option. I'm looking at aMe...

Is SiteCore slow and buggy?

I've seen plenty of negative comments regarding performance and general bugginess. However, to be fair, most of these look like they were within the v5.3 timeframe. Have they fixed all of those issues in v6.0? Is it an excellent product? Some examples of the complaints: Maybe it’s just a case of user error, but this guy says, “some p...

Subcategories and Drop-down Menus in Graffiti CMS?

I have a php site setup with multiple controllers for the different sections of the site. e.g index.php, gallery.php, faq.php etc. Currently I have a base template which I call from each controller, which in turn includes the relevant content for the page.

Alternative to Amazon S3 for the data center?

I'm looking to for a service that is similar to Amazon S3, a simple service to store and retrieve arbitrary data (and meta-data), but one that runs locally in your own data center.

Would Drupal be a viable CMS for a mobile web application?

I am evaluating open-source CMS systems to see which one(s) would be the best option to deliver rich mobile web based applications for mobile handhelds.

CMS -WYSIWYG for dummies

So, I’m working on a project for my company that involves allowing users the ability to create their own web pages.

What is the best way to create and maintain a movie database?

There are similar questions, but none answers what I really need. I actually don't want to create as long as there is already one ready-made. If so please guide me on the right direction.
