Is there any need for a portal system with wwf v9+ these days? It seems most people are just using free hosted solutions these days. I have been trying to decide to make one or not. I have gotten the "OK" from the big guy for a free version this time. ------------- http://www.iportalx.net" rel="nofollow">

A Free version would be great.
Especially as with the Free WWF I hope that it has all the features for a small community I need for now.
Anyway, thanks for your effort.

| Your Right MadDog... as people are using alot more hosted Solutions these days... but if you got the ok from the Big guy then why not show off your skills and share it.. I think it would be a good addition |

To be honest, I've never been a fan of portals, as all they are to me is a way of showing forum information in a different layout than the forum itself... However, it could be nice to have a portal which allows extra pages to be added, so it acts as a main website, with small bits of forum information to lure people to it. Does that make sense at all??

AKA a Content Management System. That would be one of the main goals for the new portal. ------------- http://www.iportalx.net" rel="nofollow">

I'm bored so i made up a small list of things that i want to add to the portal system.
Also with what i have done so far ( http://www.madhosting.net - www.madhosting.net ) is using a new Core system i've been working on. All the custom things ive added (the design minus the WWF design) is completely HTML template driven and modular based. So its super easy and really nice because everything is a seperate module that is controlled by the core. Also most of the hard things are simplified to make it easier and faster to code addons. Also, i did this http://www.iportalx.net/iportalx-2/default.html - design a few months ago that i might use for an extra skin. Its 100% CSS/XHTML  ------------- http://www.iportalx.net" rel="nofollow">

Well, you already answered my question I'll guess.
Not sure what would be in the free version?
News, CMS, Calendar would be the main thing "for free".
Maybe sell a Gallery and Download Manager as a Plug-in?

WWF comes with a Calendar, so maybe just extend that...so it pulls events from the forum etc. I'd say definitely an image gallery!

The only thing that can not be in the portal in a "free" version is the stuff that is limited in WWF in the "free" version.
