Need module recommendation

Post by drabina »

Hi,

I am pretty new to CMSMS. I just installed the application and successfully applied one of the layout templates. The site I am building with CMSMS is just a personal web site. Nothing fancy. So far I have played with Blog Made Simple and Feedback Form modules. Unfortunately, blog module did not work (links just reloaded the summary page) and feedback module came up with message about supporting maximum CMSMS version of 1.0.5.

So I am back to the default CMSMS installation. To get my site up and running, I would need the following functionality:
1. Blog
2. Contact me form
3. Picture browser (possibly using SimpleViewer as I already have galleries using this).

Could somebody let me know what are the best modules that I could install to get the needed functionality added to my site? After two attempts that did not produce results, I figured that I will ask users on this forum before playing with more modules that might or might not work.

Thanks.

1. For blogs, I use a combo of the News and Comments modules.
2. For contact forms, Formbuilder has been my favourite.
3. For picture browsing, the Album module works for me.

There is a SimpleViewer module integrated into cmsms: http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/simpleviewer/
No experience, though.
Feedback Form and Blog Made Simple seem kind of obsolete...

Thanks guys, I have tried the FormBuilder and combination of News and Comments and they are working fine.

Next I will try the Album module and the SimpleViewer module to see how they work.
