  I've been using Content Express on my site for a couple of years but I'm wanting a module which will link in nicely with the Photoshare module I am using. I started looking at Pagesetter but ended up really confused with the whole architecture of that module. I like Content Express but it doesn't appear to be developing that quickly and doesn't support Smarty etc. What do other people use? I look at PageEd but again got lost in all the different features it had. I couldn't seem to get a page to look right. What do people suggest here on the forum? What good experiences have you all had? Am I missing something? I just want to be able to create pages and then build a menu block of those pages.
  
  Any guidance/help appreciated.
  
  Cheers,
  
  Dave

  Hey Dave
  You can view pretty much all the content modules for Postnuke here
  
  They all have their pros and con's.
  Pagesetter
  Pro: Very flexible and feature rich
  Con: Need to be a programmer or a mathmatician to figure it out
  Content Express:
  Pro: works great, supports embeded HTML well,
  Con: not really supported anymore no new updates features are out for it.
  Paged:
  Pro: Robust, page templates, news etc,works overall very well, SEO is great.
  Con: A little confusing to use,
  HTMLPages:
  pros:not sure
  cons:not sure
  
  Good Luck
  You just got to install a few of them and use the ones that work best for your app. If photoshare is what you want to use, then Pagesetter is the most integrated. but it will take you some time to figure it out...
  Either way feel free to post your experiences with any of them on PostnukeDirectory.com
  
  Cheers!

  Dave,
  
  If you decide to try Pagesetter, you could do it via sifbuilder.
  If you have access to the command line and Apache/mysql/php installed,
  you may create a local site identical to the sample http://www.sifbuilder.com/sifbuilder/pn506/
  with the sifbuilder instruction:
  > PHP sifcmd.php http://www.sifbuilder.com/downloads/sib_PostNuke07_sif_sif.xml --dev
  (the --dev option will force get pagesetter_6_3_0b3)
  
  In that site there two Pagesetter publications types installed, one related to the sips block and the one with the news on the center block (there is in fact a third one that is not visible).
  
  The way in which the publication types, categories and items are defined may be seen in the xml
  http://www.sifbuilder.com/downloads/sib_PostNuke07_sif_sif.xml declaration file.
  
  Each Pagesetter publication types is associated to a Pagesetter schema.
  
  Each schema contains the definition of the type of publication (here, SipsPublication and News01).
  The publication type defines the publication custom fields. It specifies also the workflow to apply to each publication item and its template key (sipsTemplate and PG-News01).
  
  Besides the publication type, each Pagesetter schema defines also the (tree of) categories of the publication.
  The publication items in the sips block are grouped per categories with each category corresponding to a block row.
  The news in the center block are part of a single category.
  
  Within each category, you create the publication items: each news, in the case of the center block, or each sip package, in case of the publication shown in the sips block.
