What do you think of LiveStreet?

Question

CMS

Hello!

The prerequisites are as follows - I have a cousin (cousin), for some reason he thinks that he is a photographer and on this basis he wants a website. The functionality is approximately the following - a gallery with a rubricator, info-contacts-price list, blog. The gallery and blog should ideally have moderated comments. So that a person with computer knowledge at the level of “fix the baradavki on the photo and then put it on classmates” could not get confused in the admin panel.

I myself am increasingly specialized in Joomla, Magento and PrestaShop and my profile is webshops. I'm not familiar with LiveStreet, but I want to try it, but so that it's useful. Tell me if anyone knows - will LiveStreet fit for such purposes? Or are there other options? I really want to help my brother.

Thanks please!

ps. ( Website) I already made him a hundred years ago, but this is not a cake. It is necessary that the people (c) (according to the customer)

become numb, pss. Clarification - it must be free. yeah.

finish: thanks for the participation friends, I will look for a suitable solution away from live street due to incomplete target compliance and from wordpress due to inexplicable personal dislike :) but if you have alternative options, please speak up!

finish 2.0: seems to have found a suitable option. If the backend is transparent enough for the host of a non-webmaster, then "must be taken" (c).

Thanks comrade winbackgo

Answer 1

I liked ru.piwigo.org for the photogallery. A bunch of plugins, I don’t know about the blog and comments, the search returns results, but I haven’t tried it.
As for LiveStreet, everyone above correctly spoke out.

Answer 2

WordPress of course.
LiveStreet
is a social networking engine like Habr.
which means that you don’t need the main functionality that is there (a blog for each user, adding to friends, private messages).
you have to run through the code and templates to clean it all up.
besides, there are no moderated comments in LiveStreet (as far as I know),
the biggest plus of LiveStreet is a good architecture (actually MVC) and this is a great solution for a quick start if a project like Habr is planned.
WordPress
is simple, good admin panel out of the box.
a bunch of plugins
good API (I once wrote a photo gallery plugin a long time ago - it takes 1-2 days to write) it’s
easy to find a freelancer with knowledge of WordPress
but internally wordpress is terrible. this is a shitty code of thousands of functions in the style of php4
, I would not do something big on it.
after all, this is a blogging engine, and blogging in the style of 1 person maintains 1 blog.

Answer 3

Of the minuses of Livesrteet - a somewhat evil community.

Answer 4

LiveStreet is tricky with plugins - all free ones have not been updated for a hundred years. It’s better to do it on WordPress, it’s much simpler, it has a training video and a lot of free plugins.

Answer 5

If you need a personal blog, then WP will be preferable. LiveStreet is certainly an excellent engine (architecturally, IMHO, better than WP), but it is younger and there are fewer developments for it. Of course, you can cut any design and functionality on it, but it is a bit "verbose". Therefore, if a collective blog is not required, then it is better not to take it.

Answer 6

Great move for a photo blog. Buy the plugin "Gallery" - your cousin will be happy.
