During my research for budget Learning Management Systems. I found and many other alternatives budget or not plugins or extensions of a CMS (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal). Also, there is CodeIgniter (CI), a PHP Framework used in the western world for Educational or Public Sectors' applications. There are few of CI apps, I 've chosen the Academy Budget LMS.
In the first article Part I, I 've spoken about:
Budget LMS solutions. In this second article Part II, I will speak about Drupal and CodeIgniter Budget LMS solutions. Also in the end I'll provide a retired WordPress Budget LMS, so If someone wants can write o fork, it is the famous CoursePress Pro, and two articles for WordPress and Joomla LMS'.
Some people create their own LMS' (Learning Management Systems), by configuring the CMS with many different plugins. It is up to you, many choices, many different solutions for a Budget LMS.

For a few months, I have researched the market, in order to find a budget LMS. So below are the results of my study. There are LMS like Moodle who are free.
