i believe web integration can be had w/ AIM, Yahoo!, and ICQ also (hint, hint  ). the Online/Offline UBB hack on the main page would be cool also, this would allow you to see who is on the board (in addition to WOL?). [ 01-16-2002 05:56 AM: Message edited by: [ #1 Stunna ] ]

those are good modifications for the ubb, but how would they be a part of the front page? I don't see it.

in the ubb portal cp, how about a layout map that would let you change the layout of the main page real easy, and/or a page that shows and lets you edit the html via the cp

Hello, I am using UBB on my board and almost made a purchase to vBulletin and vPortal because of the awesome array of extra features that come with it. However, upon seeing your post here about a UBBPortal, I think I'll stay with UBB for now. In terms of actual functionalities, I saw you listed some thing like polls and calenders. You listed these as SSI, but aren't they already implemented in the upcoming UBB6.2 built in? I really like the layout of http://www.vpforums.com/ and want to do something similar with UBB. Hopefully the UBBPortal would do that. One thing I must request though, is the weather forecast thingy. That has been bugging me for awhile. I think the vportal allows wheather forecast for the location the member is in after logging in.

i was thinking that you could have an Online/Offline status icon on the initial portal page that would show who is browsing the boards in addition to WOL. The IM status icons (AIM, Yahoo!, MSN, ICQ) would give you the IM status of members currently browsing the boards. They have something similar on http://woertman.org/ once you login.
The full blown embedded MSN Messenger would just be something that is cool to have. It's all about options!
BTW, how can I get started learning Perl/CGI? Are there any free sites on the web? I'm sure there are, you guys should be able to give me a good headstart. I have such great ideas and I would love to contribute in a much more impactful fashion. Thanks.

greg: i'd prefer to stick with coding the portal backend itself. sure, i could code the news thing, but i'm not an avant user of it and am not as familliar with it as you are. there's no rush on getting anything completely finished, always room for upgrades.

Hello,
Not sure if this is included in the list already but vBulletin has a page where we can view each of the members' info (ie homepage, profile, etc). Can we doe the same thing as well?

Hello, Yes it is the member list and it comes with a list of awesome features such as list by "Top 10 Posters", "List Alphabetically", and "List by Date Joined". An example is at List Then there is also the photo gallery. An example is at Gallery Example . And the weather forecast example is on the same page. It'd be very neat if we can do that as well on the UBB boards

we have a memberlist... that sorts like that. DPK has been coding it for a while now what do you think of as a portal? Isn't it something like a content management system? A way to organize info for eaze of managment by admins? what else? One thing to keep in mind, the layout of this is gonna require a lot of thought to keep it from looking as messy as some "portals". If we wanted something that looks like page #84 of a phone book, we'd have gotten a vB

Hello,
Sorry but I never noticed that memberlist mod. Will it be available for the latest 6.2 and do you have a link to where I can find it?
Yes I do think that it should be a good content management system with ease of information layout and control. Therefore, the photo gallery fits in. This allws member to upload and organize their photos in an organized manner. It allows people to have a single location to search for photos they may find useful.

i agree. the layout should be clean and not look extremely cluttered. however, it should be completely customizable and modular so that admins can throw in new features/plugins and even get the cluttered look if they happen to like that.

Once we get to where it is easy to turn panels off and on, then we can consider those things that aren't normally put in a portal system. It would be silly to get bogged down for weeks integrating/bugtesting things that do not show up on the front page of a site for 95% of the people who would use it.
There's a photo gallery modification in the 6.0 beta forum that you might be interested in. The memberlist is in the beta forum for 6.1

I have to agree that we need a "clean" and easy to implement portal page. I'm sure that this will be the mod to have and there will be a lot of "modules" added as time goes on.
I have a third site that uses a Snitz board (It's a M$ .Net site in .asp) and it has a portal that users design modules for. It's a great addon, but I really feel that UBB is more flexible and will offer a lot more customization through the use of style templates and integration into the rest of the board.
One question though...with the code you guys are building now, will this easily integrate into sites with UBBs that are already hacked or are you aiming for a complete package that will be added as the rest of the hacks are on a clean install?

It should be easy enough to add to ubb's already hacked, unless some functions overlap (calendar, news, etc), then we may need to provide a manual form of installation. Otherwise, it will install in a few minutes on a clean board using an mhk if you choose. Either way, we'll provide a manual install text file with the different modules noted... Most people may choose to install it on a new 6.2 once that's available

Canreef: 6.1 beta forum. it will be ported to 6.2 when 6.2 goes 'gold'. there should be no problem with it right now for 6.2 though (need to double check that).

im seeing this is truning into just the thing i wanted. animeforumz.com (my vB) is ganna become a full site powered by the vB, i wanted to do this with ubb aswell but when my server killed my cgi it kinda messed that up, synergy:core was planing to re boot with a 6.2 upgrade, something i belive sould be in this is the ablity to use the member files for email,donwload protechtion, and a few other things, im planing on taking this mod and powering s:c with it 100%. im *Hopeing* that you guys add the feture to let the admin edit the html via the cp, and let it run multiple pages. im waiting on this, sorry for the spelling . im hoping to be one of the frist ones with it up and running with this becomes beta.
