Simple CMS / RCE for just adding a content section to existing page.

[morkus64]

I'm not interested in wordpress or any of those theme / template driven systems.

What I want is a section of a page, where a simple CMS /RCE plugin or something will allow the user to login, add an entry with a WYSIWYG editor, and delete older entries. No commenting, no new pages for each entry.

I'm thinking something like CushyCMS would be perfect, but where it can manage multiple entries rather than just editing a single entry. Also preferably you could do all the editing from www.mydomain.com/admin or something like that rather than go to an external site, but that is less important.

Actually, for what you want, you do want one of those theme/template-driven systems. Use a flexible theme, and your static content to style it (Drupal's Zen is commonly used as a base for this kind of thing). All CushyCMS is doing is...exactly that, just with a WYSIWIG editor included, and support.

By your description, any of the umpteen-billion CMSes out there can do the job.

The trouble with most of those CMS's is that they are generally hard or impossible to implement with a site that is already mostly built. The nice thing about cushy is that you just very easily assign a "cushycms" class to whatever element you want cushy to be able to edit, and it will make it editable. The only functionality beyond that I really would like is to say "here is a container div - we'll give it the class cmscontainer - in cmscontainer we will create a journal. This journal exists entirely within cmscontainer and the semi-cms manages the entries." You could even make it slightly fancier and say "here is cmscontainer and cmsnavigator which holds the system for navigating entries".

Basically, give me a CMS which plugs into an existing site rather than a CMS which requires an overhaul.

For that, you'll need to manually add what you're looking for, as a general rule. Django, or Django-page-CMS, as examples, will need you to do the work setting it up, including adding your preferred WYSIWYG editor. One way or another, you'll typically need to pay, or do some overhauling.

For something that might make that job easier, though, check out Pulse Basic (http://pulsecms.com/). There's also MODx (http://modx.com/),
