Magma CMS is an open source content management system (CMS) and content management framework (CMF) for publishing content on the World Wide Web, intranets and extranets.

Magma CMS is written in PHP, uses object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques and software design patterns. Magma CMS runs on any computing platform that supports both a web server capable of running PHP (including Apache, IIS, Lighttpd, or nginx) and a MySQL database. Although it primarly uses MySQL to store data, due to the builtin database abstraction layer other relational database systems can also be used. Magma CMS uses UTF-8 encoding to store its content, which makes it suitable for international use.

Core

The standard release of Magma CMS, known as Magma CMS Basic, contains basic features common to content management systems. These include user account registration and management, page layout customization, articles and news management, picture and video galleries, document management, and system administration. The Magma CMS Basic can be used as a brochureware website, blogging platform, or a community website providing for user-generated content.

Modules

Magma CMS is designed as modular framework, a set of independent scripts that represents modules, sections and functions, which are used in a hierarchical fashion to construct larger blocks for a particular use. This design allows easy scalability, modification and customization of the core, as well as development of new modules and functionalities. However, no programming skills are required for basic website installation and administration.
