Neat But i'll be satisfied with the article features of www.siteworkspro.com (And I would disable the calender features in an instant)
[]On a side note, I have seen http://www.phpportals.com and it wont be long before there is nothing they have that IIP doesn't.
Thats what I'm afraid of...They are themselfes going the CMS way. A lot of the community talk on vbulletin is that they are tired of the portal-nuke thing. The vbulletin team has since long identified this need for a cms and how this will make some more money. The forum part is nice. But a site also needs a static part that gives it an identity and something to talk about in the first place. Not all wants to be drawn into a debate or read an interesting article in the extensive point'n'clik enviroment (the equivalent of booting your computer to get the time).
To some extend, this is what makes siteworkspro so interessting. Non-php coders dont want big, clumsy and hard to set up cms systems. They want some "shelf-ware" with the abillity to differentiate themselves with a new skin. I've purchased siteworkspro but I'm afraid to but it to any use since, the company behind seems more focused on making some quick bucks than running a company. The supportforums has been pulled, one has to beg for updates alreay been paid for, etc.
Oh well...sooner or later...we the php-challenged...will hopefully be able to buy something that fits our needs. I know at least one could-be supplier with a sturdy community. The bad thing is that ubbt is not likely to be the best match
