Im trying to identify a cms that a website is using. Im not quite sure which cms there using. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

http://www.global-rs.com/
http://www.tip.it/runescape/

I think both of those sites are using the same cms and the cms uses phpbb as a forum.

I have just had a look, but i cant see which one it could be, theres loads, it oculd even be a custom one. build for them, as it appears they are both run by the same people this could be quite likely,

Sorry i couldnt help more,
Talkupation Appreciated

I can tell you what is not:

Joomla (missing generator meta tag)
Drupal (doesn't follow their generation style)
Wordpress (missing generator meta tag)

Those are the 3 I could think of off the top of my head.

i could have told him what it isnt theres hundreds... Lol

and it could be but the tags been edited...

is there something in particular that you're looking for in a cms?

Im looking for all the same features of those sites.

I checked em out for about 10 mins, looks like a phpnuke version from a few years back but with some hacks into the template system (commenting out blocks instead of disabling).

i should agree with metho

Hmm didn't even consider phpnuke, good call.

Its most definitely phpnuke.

Which version of phpnuke is it?

You would probably be better with going and getting the latest.

otherwise could pos be security probs

When global-rs.com was first published, 7.5 was the current version. The site owners have stripped the creds; so there's no telling. phpnuke is up to 8.0 now (8.1 for $12UAD).

There's no sense installing an old version. Grab the latest and always keep it up to date.

isnt it like completely against the TOS to strip all it out?


which they have so blaintantly done.

Yes, but it's hard to spot people removing that kinda stuff (Good themes etc can make it look like it's not there cms).

The best thing to is look for the admin panel. I think the first one is PHPBBCMS

With a lot of GPL apps, you can pay for a commercial license to strip creds.

but the question is how do you know if they have done so?

GPL requires you to leave copyright notices in the source code only. FSF agrees that outputted HTML (even if it's based on an HTML template) is considered OUTPUT and there is nothing wrong with removing anything from the output.

I tend to go with the FSF's interpretation as opposed to some random developer. After all, they wrote the license in the first place.

So one random developer's interpretation is better than another random developer? OK - so would you take the word of one of the FSF's people? In a discussion regarding the removal of copyright notices for phpnuke under GPL:

"I think a web-based message board clearly reads commands interactively.
So, if there is such a notice, you can't remove it. But you could alter its form, so long as it is still appropriate.

Or you can pay for a phpnuke commercial license and remove the creds.

Interesting take. However, the GPL is about DISTRIBUTION, not USAGE. Are you distributing the CODE that creates those files? Maybe, maybe not.

Having said all that, would it not still be legal, then, to just comment out the credits entirely? They're still there, you haven't removed them at all.

Unfortunately the FSF site has seemed to 'expanded' it's GPL FAQ (so I can't give any links) but when I was investigating this a couple of years back, the basic stance as I understood it was: "you aren't distributing, you're merely making it accessible. Therefore the GPL is not even a factor." In fact (again, last I knew) this was something that GPL3 was specifically hoping to address (making accessible vs. distributing).

Now, if the TEMPLATES themselves are licensed differently, then there's a problem...
