I am currently a Wordpress user, and would like to know the following:

1. Do you have a highly efficient cache such as Wordpress' WP-Cache? This is essential for my site, which has very high traffic.

2. Can a blog client such as W.Bloggar o BlogJet be used to post articles to Vivvo? Vivvo is not listed in those clients, but perhaps will it work using the Wordpress setting? This is important to me because my bloggers use clients to post their material.

3. Do you have any plugin or feature to handle thumbnails and images? Can images be configured to open in a special dedicated page?

4. Do you have something like the AdSense plugin for Wordpress, that allows inclusion of advertising code nested in the text or body of the articles?

5. Any forum integration? Can comments to articles be integrated, or even better, handled by a third party forum such as phpBB or vBulletin or SMF? The idea is for each comment to be a reply in a thread dedicated to that particular article. The first comment to an article automatically generates a new thread in the forum with the article's title as its own.

6. Any gallery integration?

Thanks.

1. We do not use caching, and so far we haven't experienced any load balancing problems on high-volume sites.

2. No, Vivvo is not a blogging software, and we currently do not integrate in any blogging platform.

3. Yes, this is incorporated into wysiwyg editor.

4. Plugin? AdSense code can easily be integrated in any template with simple copy/paste, I really don't see any reason to create a plugin for such a simple operation...

5. Yes, this is available as a customization.

6. Yes, same as above.

How much would you charge to integrate with a forum, and adapt Wordpress' Cache plugin to work with Vivvo?

Also, you said in your reply that it can handle images, thumbnails and make them open in a dedicated page... I couldn't do that in the demo. I uploaded a 400px image and I could not add it as a thumbnail in the article. I could not find any thumbnail image to expand in your live site either. What I would need is to add an image, define the size of the thumbnail its margins and position within the text, and then when I post it generates the thumbnail to the expanded image automatically, like Blogjet does, check this video:

I have another question, can you define different content fields in the page? Because in all Vivvo templates I've seen, there is actually only one 'loop', and this would be limiting.

Yes, you can define different content fields. There is a full list of tags used in templates in Vivvo Docs (http://www.vivvo.net/doc/templates.html), and you can compose the page (or pages) anyway you like. Also, you can assign different templates and/or headers for every category in the system, which gives pretty much enough space for making custom look & feel...
