Ahh, phpnuke, now theres a name from the old dark days, as for drupal haven't used that in years, from what I can remeber both those were not very user friendly and had a lot of install problems, maybe they have got better over time.  One of the guys at asp.net suggested Nopcommerce which I may look at later.

Asa for now, I have bittenthe bullet and installed Dotnetnuke and MS SQL, which took all of 15 mins to install, if I can configure it, right it may do the job, so look out for more questions in the forum, must remeber to buy a protective suit when using MS SQL...

Yeah - nopcommerce is a nice and powerful online store system  - but not really a CMS - there was actually version of nop converted to run as a module set of DNN a while back - not sure what has happened to it though - seemed to have fallen by the wayside.

Drupal has come a long way - but yeah there it stills seems there is always a need for the command line - something that the linux crowd just never seem to understand frustrates the rest of the world.

Good to hear you had a smooth install run - a lot of hard work has been done in that area over the years - but seriously - MS SQL is really just not that bad a product - it has a good front end these days that does a functional job of managing databases without ever needed to head to a command prompt.

Have fun

The good old command prompt, Bill has a lot ot answer for.   Anyways after messing about with the site for an hour or so, came up with this http://www.tcpropshop.com/ I know it's basically what I would call a flat file site, but the fun begins with redirecting users to a specfic page tailored to meet there property choice etc.

So let the questions begin which I will post in the relevant forum section.

Yeah cept its those older unix and xenix cronies who really need to be slapped around for giving us the bourne, c and korn shell prompts.
With regard to system structure in a system like DNN – the best approach would be to work thru breaking your mindset away from the concept of lots of pages early on.

Instead start thinking of how you manipulate a small number of pages – to render and display the information you desire dynamically.

Take this forum for example - in reality - the entire system is actually contained within one single page on the DNN web site. The fact that the url at the top of the page looks like a mass of folder layers is only a convention designed to make things look more friendly to the end user.

DNN's module based system is the real power behind this sort of functionality ... and as such if it were me putting a site like this together - i would have a couple of custom modules to display your property listings and detail pages.  Alternatively, the built in Form and List module could be used with XSLT mappings to do something similar.
