php - Advice on CMS, ExpressionEngine vs. Drupal or? -


i'm stuck between rock , hard place. need identify new cms company struggling (we're digital agency , produce tens of websites year of varying sizes retained clients.)

we use mysource matrix (which blackbox, no technical documentation) our cms , zend framework our applications.

my requirements templates available via ftp can stored in external vcs , edited in ide. templates should have templating language smarty pure php cannot misused in them. if continue develop in 90% zf way. if cms comes reasonable framework embrace drive synergies between cms projects , other bespoke applications projects.

i'm not satisfied either drupal or ee solve first point. drupal enforces ftp templates allows php entered in templates. don't know how compatable smarty engine module (it hasn't been updated since 2007). ee has reasonable template syntax doesn't enforce maintenance via ftp (you can edit template via browser , break external version control.) second point not ideal either. drupal , zf 2 @ polar opposites of programming spectrum. ee has codeigniter on initial inspection it's light , we'd largely still use zf extent may not use ci.

other issues of functionality. drupal looks superior on front. it's core has features require. use ee we'd have install few paid add-ons before start (templating, wysiwyg , taxonomy.)

noting 2 requirements (coming zf background , wanting synergies , forcing ftp templates don't allow php) can me make decision between 2 , or suggest cms might better suited.

in terms of suggesting cms, must have strong community, documentation, pretty open-source , have number of high-profile websites built upon it.

we ended going ee. @bitmanic advice.
