Codeigniter recently is my favorite PHP framework, it’s has really small learning curve to get move on, here list of content management system built on codeigniter, hope this useful whether you want to use it for your simple site or you can learn more about codeigniter by exploring the code. Personally I explore it to knowing how people write code in codeigniter.
01. Ionizecms
Ionize is a powerful & friendly Content Management System, it has some feature including:
- Easy templating Each page or article can have a dedicated template. Templates can be embedded in each others.
- Localized content The core of Ionize is multilingual. You can create as much languages as you need for your website. Every content can be translated : posts, static elements in templates, media data, etc.
- Extended fields Extended fields let you the ability to add your own data to pages, articles and media. For example, if you need a data called “color” on each article, you can create an extended field and this field will appear on each article in Ionize, ready to be filled and used.
- Flexible content displaying Content and presentation are clearly separated. So an article can become a pictures gallery or a blog post entry, depending on the article template. No need to develop a complex gallery module to create video gallery page !
- Content editing Copy / paste content from any word processing software. Inline links are automatically converted to hyperlinks. Emails are safely encoded to avoid spam.
- Publication Each page and article can have a publish date and can be set offline at a given date. That give you the possibility to prepare your content per advance.
- URL Ionize generated search engine friendly URLs. By including the language code in the URL, the CMS makes easy distinction for search engines between each language content.
- Modules Ionize integrates a powerful module engine, which let the developers create specific modules. The CMS will integrates some standard modules in the future : newsletters and form management are in development.
- Users and groups Group access only is possible on each page. For the admin panel, several groups (editors, admin, super-admin) will limit user’s possibilities.
- Easy media linking Each media – pictures, musics, videos or files – can be easily linked to every post. Media ordering is done by drag and drop.
- Automated thumbnails You can create as much pre defined thumbnails as you need. You just have to link a media a a content and the predefined thumbnail will be created for this content.
- Media data Media meta data are available in multiple languages. Just click on a media to edit its meta data.
02. Pyrocms
Lightweight, themeable and dynamic, PyroCMS is perfect for CodeIgniter developers to kickstart your projects.
- Security PyroCMS is very secure. All passwords are stored & encrypted in a way that makes it impossible to guess the original password, even if an attacker has access to the database.
- Speed PyroCMS is fast, very fast. Thanks to the advanced cache system and the use of AJAX in the admin panel, page loads are much quicker than other CMS systems around.
- Simple Interface PyroCMS’s admin panel isn’t cluttered with options and menus. Confusing options and settings don’t obscure the tools you need to fully manage your content.
- Themes Don’t like the default design? No problem, the theme system is so easy to understand that everybody with basic PHP knowledge can create kickass designs for the sites.
- Multi-lingual PyroCMS does not assume everyone speaks English. It has full support for multiple languages and more will be added as time goes on.

its russian cms made by codeigniter… It is a great stuff But I got a trouble since no English language support on it.
I’m waiting someone who voluntary translate it to English ^_^
i prefer create my own cms , i prefer to create fully ajax/php/mysql based backend/cms eventhought ajax based pages arnt good for search engine optemization but cms and backend doesnt need to be at all in search engines….
so i encourage every new programmer to create his own backend…if you use everything ready made code you will never learn programming in your whole life…bruce lee said that.
