Are we aiming at this for 6.1.0.4 also? Some of us might not be upgrading immediately.

hey guys,
noticed that there are a lot of FREE PHP scripts that are already written that do most of the things we are discussing. do you see it as a viable option to edit one of those and release it as UBBPortal?

ubb is cgi and not php being one reason not all servers support php being another reason editing existing software and call it our own just isn't our way

The UBB is Perl.
CGI is a protocal. Both PHP and Perl use CGI. :-P

Partly because it can take longer getting a third-party script to work with your forum than writing it clean without their bugs to contend with.

Thank you guys for this project which I'm sure that it will become the most important ubb mod ever.Here is my suggestions Download Section with a meter which shows - how many times EACH file has been downloaded a simple box which shows realtime - Users online in the web page - Users online in the forum in the ubbnews ,if its possible to make every post like the Neowin site which has a - graphic for comments - Last comment by - customize (colors,fonts) Any news about release date of a beta version? Don't say "when its done"

those are some good suggestions dreamer. they are working on the module system right now, which is being done from scratch and will take the majority of development time most likely. When that is in running shape, then we'll have an idea of when we can start expecting public betas

Please forgive me if this has already been suggested.
But it would be nice if the front page would "Welcome" the visitor.
i.e. Welcome, Casper or Welcome, Guest.
If something like this already exists please point me in the right direction.
I am looking forward to the portal.

Hello, Who is caps? What does he have up his sleeve? I just purchased a whole year worth of domain hosting just so that I can use Post Nuke. It turned out to be very awesome. The features it provides is just mind boggling. For example: 1) it allows you to administer how many times a banner will display and allow the banner payee to login and view its banner statistics. 2) it allows members to post news, articles, for the administer to review, prior to displaying it. 3) it provides a site statistics for traffic during the day, browser and OS visitiors uses, etc 4) it shows you which file, thread, news is the most popular 5) a very easy polling station 6) etc etc etc However, I have to abadon the idea   So please hurry, we need this UBB Portal. Otherwise, my hosting fee will be wasted.

Capps. Two Ps. Local admin, code hacker, and the guy actually in charge of maintaining and updating the UBB code.

And the guy is going to launch us into the world of the UBB Portal?

UBBDesign.com have something very similar to this. It's not connected to the UBB though because it's a PHP Nuke but it had impressive features.

Hello,
How about the following list too?
1) it allows you to administer how many times a banner will display and allow the banner payee to login and view its banner statistics.
2) it allows members to post news, articles, for the administer to review, prior to displaying it.
3) it provides a site statistics for traffic during the day, browser and OS visitiors uses, etc
4) it shows you which file, thread, news is the most popular
5) a very easy polling station
6) etc etc etc
Is the UBB Portal development work halted at the moment? I still don't get what DPK was saying about Capps.

Hello,
Actually one more. A login script that works with both the portal site and the ubb software.

That's not a UBB portal, it's a PHP portal that doesn't integrate the logins. Hahahaha, it's nice to see a pic of my board when I open the link though.
A UBB portal will allow style templates and logins that are part of the UBB itself.

Exactly... there's no reason to have seperate logins for the portal and the forum, they should be the same.
Expect an alpha-beta of v1 this coming weekend. vI will be an exercise to see where we wanna go with this, trying out different layouts, features, etc.
vII will be where we are heading with this long-term, building out the internal design and data retrieval layers. That one, depending on how fast the parts come together, could be 1-4 weeks away before we see the beta for it.

It's a little early to know what features will be included in the final version, the main thing they'll be working on is a "plug-in module" interface so you can pretty much use any feature set you want.. that's gonna be the major time-consumer as far as development goes...

indeed, as Allen said, v2 of UBBPortal will be a while in the works before it hits the beta forum. but hopefully not that long. im trying to see about splitting up the project amoung the l33t coders so we can work together.

Will this UBB portal have a standard layout or can be customized? Can we add html as well?

Hello,
I'm in the process of buying a new web server and was thinking of upgrading my UBB to UBBThreads. Is this even necessary now that we have the UBBPortal? I want a single log in but don't know whether this will be good with the flat file database system that UBB use. Will there be a portal for the UBBThread as well?

canreef, we are starting on a "portal" for ubbthreads, you set 2 paths in one file and upload - voila! ubbthreads portal  It is beta-quality right now, but works well in its present form. For an example, check this one out: https://ubbdev.com/index2.php - it needs some cosmetic help, but is very easy to implement and will get better as we work on it. JustDave has been the main developer so far. Check the "site integration" forum for more info over there. v2 of ubbportal will be extremely nice... either should work well for you quote:

I really like this idea! Thanks to everyone who is working hard on this.
My requests are the following:
Memberlist
Calendar
Stats
MyStyle
Avatars
Those are my favorite. And, being as CGI illiterate I am, I'm confused, after I read the WHOLE topic...It's like a hack, with more than one hack, right? Dumb question, I know... I guess what I wanna ask is that it's gonna be installed as if I was installing a hack, right?
