You know, I have read and played with both xoops and phpNuke. One is object oriented, thus the OOP in xOOPs and the other is just staight forward scripting. Nuke has come under some fire recently with security issues, in fact one of the premier Theme authors for Nuke was hacked and is completely rebuilding his site and as a result dropping Nuke. The problem for me is I am just starting to play with these portol systems within the last month and I have come to a crossroad. Choose one, and choose wisely.
I like Nuke because, well I just like the layout and I have never had problems getting it up and running with the bulletin board and modules. It's also easy to make my own heavily personalized theme, which is a desire. Xoop seems a little more difficult and less supported but is also very powerful. I was wondering if anyone is really using xoops to its potential and is it worth directing my path that way. This is a personal question because anything I do will be my own personal fun. Like I have said I spent hours reading documentation on each.
There was recently a discussion on php security here on the front page, so what are the personal feelings? Both are based on php to my understanding.
Thanks in advance.
