How have you discovered Hotaru CMS?

[simon]

I think am new to this cms.
I tell you it look good but how do you download it. I have tried from the forum but just a single file is coming.how do you get this.

i googled and i was looking for a social cms that does some good work like digg and here i am but i have not been able to download it yet

I too had taken a hard look at Pligg. Found some sweet reviews about Hotaru (also looked at Drigg and Social CMS) and decided on Hotaru.

Just installed it on http://cooking.edu.pl/

Nothing there now except the blank installation. Went very smooth and quick. So impressed.

Did have a question on the database prefix. It kind of threw me. My databases are prefixed with my username as in
xxxxxxxx_

So when I created a database "hotaru" it becomes xxxxxxxx_hotaru

I tried this prefix xxxxxxxx_hotaru and it did not work

I tried this prefix xxxxxxxx_ and it worked like a champ.

Still somewhat confused.

Great product so far!

Thanks

Ron

I have been using pligg with not very desirable results. Then I read about Hotaru on some forums. I am very impressed with the design and functions. I have downloaded Hotaru, but I need help in installing it on my site. I couldn't do it following the docs and other install instructions myself. Not very tech-wise Can you suggest someone, please?

Best Regards

Maybe if you could tell us where are you having trouble, some people here could help you out. Is it setting up the database? or something else?

I was looking for a social bookmarking script and found Pligg. I spent some time viewing their forums, etc.. the smarty templates was a little disappointing but I was almost going to install it, I had already downloaded it but then accidentally I found Hotaru doing a search and changed my mind and installed it instead. You can check it at: http://www.voxr.com.br/

I'm pretty much the same. I found it after being so frustrated with Pligg and trying to find an alternative. Hotaru is almost perfect.

What's next though?

i Googled ''open source cms'' then i clicked the forst page opensourcecms.com, from there i discovered Hotaru CMS.

So far I like it, have to see if I get and use on my websites.
