I'm looking for a few people to test a new upgrade script i am working on for my portal. What the script does is update any database to the current version of my portal. But i need some testers to test it in Access and MSSQL on a live website so i can make sure it works. If you don't have my portal yet ( http://www.invisionportal.com - www.invisionportal.com ) ill give you a copy to use, but you have to help me out! If your interested let me know. ------------- http://www.iportalx.net" rel="nofollow">

So it's a another name for a website? Interesting I have never heard that before. By the way I like the calendar on there, how does one go about getting one of those? I am thinking it would suit my purpose quite well with a few changes in the format for my events calender....... |

Ya you could call it just a website. The calendar is part of the portal. You would have to have the portal for the calendar to work since its built into the website. ------------- http://www.iportalx.net" rel="nofollow">

Actually a portal is a site or application that offers access to presentational content. Now there are tons of "websites" that have boxes with content and call themselves portal, actually most are not really a portal if you take it literally. For example msdn.com is a portal because it offers published content for Developers. A site that has a calendar, a forum and a poll is not necessarily a portal but just another website. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

Yeah i can change it into a portal. The site i have up now will be up for about 3 weeks before i finish the new site so it will be a good time test things out. |

Hello Maddog and everybody, I am new to this community and i like it tooo much. Maddog, i saw your portal, 1. You did a good job. lots of features. I know ASP and so i started working on some mods for webwiz guide's forums. So, let me know if you feel me fit enough to give me your portal. I will use it LIVE on the net, also on my PC. |

Hey Sahara, What i am looking for is someone that is running this message board and would want to turn that forum into my portal using my upgrade script. The reason why i am looking for someone is because i would like to make this script a feature with the portal so future customers can easily upgrade their forum into the portal. Give me a PM with your site details and ill give ya some more info. ------------- http://www.iportalx.net" rel="nofollow">

Hi NeoTrix, I dont think so because his portal runs well. Its just a script he wants to test so there is no problems. Maddog, I am gonna start my forum within 2 days so tell me fast please if you want me to use your portal. |

you can never be so sure, what if the database crashes ? And he wants to test it on a running forum. you are gona start ur forum yet... and if someone has got lots of member, and visitors... why will it take the risk, cuz his code will patch the db as well ------------- http://www.muhammadbinyusrat.com/blog/" rel="nofollow - Say to the believing men.. |

The database wont crash. All my script does is add new fields and tables. It doesn't do anything to the records and existing tables. It just adds new fields/tables that are required for the portal to run. The only errors i am looking for is field errors like the default property wasn't set or a field or something was added. A few people have already used it, and so far i have no gotten any reports of problems. ------------- http://www.iportalx.net" rel="nofollow">
