Nice project guys. Is it going to be possible to have a plugin for plugins. A converter type of plug in that would allow the use of php or other perl programs that are propietary. (stores,weather,search engine,galleries) Another feature that would be excellent is a link script that updates news from other sites or internally using regular expressions to strip the latest hyperlinks and store in a cache. (free government sites, ubb forums) Then place them in a template with the latest in your busiest forums. This would work as anews type of hack but using your own ubb to keep it fresh. They call this script clipper on the www.anaconda.net It is propietary from their site. I also had a free program that was called webpluck that did the same url stripping type of things using regular expressions. Then using ssi you could customize the front page of the portal as you would like. I use ssi calls on some propietary news scripts that allow customization to integrate my portal. Sure would be nice to see ubb allow this type of portal integration. I suppose the other ssi programs could be integrated with the various html templates? correct?

Well i started a development of a portal system, but i had no time to do anything, but it was intergrated with newspro, and a couple of other pieces of software, running both perl, and php, all controlled by the ubb software. But like i said i had no time, i have to go back and work on it again and do some upgrades http://www.4themusik.com/cgi-bin/ubb/index.cgi you can see it there

OK, question (I am working on the b1 right now). Do you prefer the layout here: https://ubbdev.com/ or do you prefer each section to have it's own seperate table like here: http://www.plastiqueweb.com/core/html/

I kinda like the seperate tables. I have built some of my pages to match my UBB (in looks only) and I seperated the tables there. Click here for a demo of the page.

I prefer ubbdev.com.
Its cleaner. plastiqueweb is nice, but...
no tabled seperation of the news bugs my eyes out.
Too much happening on the plastiqueweb makes it feel a bit confusing.

I like the second one, Plastiqueweb better, but either one would be a great addition.

Allen, I thought that Plastiqueweb was cool and the most aesthetically pleasing. couldn't you guys implement both designs as skins or style templates? hey Netwerkin, what portal script are you using here?: http://www.netwerkin.net/forum/portal_content.asp

I agree. How about coming up with 3-4 different templates, or one that's easily editable or configurable in the CP?
BTW, this portal looks to be an awesome thing! I can't wait till it's done!

Hell...damn it !
While I´m sittin here the last 48 hours and try to figure out how a misc of ubb addons could work in a sort of portal on my homeserver this thread is on the fast lane. Whatever - should come back more often to this site..
But back to the topic: definitly I prefer the templates solution. So far as I found out, it´s quiet easy to do and the outcome - especially for developing new style-templates hacks for portal-sites - would make handling out of the box extremly pleasant.
A few other guys made the suggestion before - what´s about implementation of MySQL in your B1-version, Allen?
Bye,

I love this idea, I don't really have a NEED for this idea, but I LOVE this idea. However a lot of us (including me) do not have access to MySQL, and I don't think that making UBB require more then it does in the original requirements list would be a good idea, nobody likes seeing something great that's free (as a hack would be) and not being able to use it because they didn't have the right stuff to run it.

Just spoke out loud what´s in my mind. Don´t wanna sink this ship before it´s gone into #1 beta-round
Take it as friendly tip on your shoulder - you could add this suggestion to your to-do-list for those long, boring, uncomfortable and cold nights of winter 2002

I really like their download section on their front page. Telling you how many times it has been downloaded, size, etc....
This would be a nice addition. (or a seperate hack to modify a forum dedicated to downloads.)

OK guys.... just had a flash of brilliance (@ least i think it's brilliant ). here goes: what if the portal had a feature that integrated IRC, ICQ, MSN, AIM, & Yahoo! instant messaging? (maybe even integrate/embed Trillian since it already does all these things(?)) i.e. a conference or 1-to-1 chat session could take place on your portal site by simply embedding the IM controls into a portal page/section or the BB. members could initiate a private IM chat w/ one individual or join an IM/IRC conference session involving all forum members. there could also be a feature to optionally log all public, conference IM/IRC sessions to a text files or threads that contained everything that was talked about in the public conference, the conferences could also be just dumped to a text file then just hyperlinked from a thread. this way public conferences could be viewed later for reference, etc. sound cool? let me know what you think.... later

TO ALL:
here's an ASP board that supports skins (another example for the developers):
http://www.toastforums.com/toast/toast.asp
i think it's very cool how simple they have made their skinning function. it only involves selecting a skin from a drop down menu.

Is a rough beta (or an alpha) version of this near completion? A few of us are getting a little restless waiting for it. Thanks!

Any update would be a good thing right now. I'm sure quite a few of us are waiting for some word on the progress and maybe a projected date for a beta release.

DPK is still working on v2, I am still working on v1 - trying to get ssi's of latest polls to the front page... not a whole lotta fun yet I'll post some work on the poll stuff this weekend if I can get time away from working my 2 jobs, running my personal site and the 3 other sites I run, going to the state basketball playoffs, attending 3 church services Sunday (I play/sing in the band), going to the gym on Saturday and playing 6-8 volleyball games on Sunday afternoon. I think I can squeeze an extra 20-30 min in there some where... Oh yeah, we're launching the ezine and updating the design here saturday as well... hmmmm... Basically v1 (as mentioned before) will be a loose compilation of available mods kept apart so that components can be updated independently... v2 will be where the integration comes in.

Hey, thanks a lot for the update. As far as schedule goes, I don't see where the problem is...  Been typing my fingers off lately creating new buttons and logos for both the forums and the web page that goes along with it. Can't wait to see what the new portal is shaping up as...
