Allen,

you have to register on their board in order to DL. just proving a point not trying to push vBPortal.

More Ideas....

how about MSN Messenger integration?

Demo: http://woertman.org/

i believe web integration can be had w/ AIM, Yahoo!, and ICQ also (hint, hint <img src="wink.gif" border="0" alt="" /> ). 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?).

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 <img src="smile.gif" border="0" alt="" />

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.

<strong>Greg: advanced, how so?

more features like?

and please post code if you got it... don't need no steenkeeng vaporware right now <img src="tongue.gif" border="0" alt="" />

I have a strange feeling that this may in the beta mods forum pretty soon...*hopes*

code! <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" />

i'll start doing some heavy coding on the portal this weekened. lets see.... only 3 more exams this week.... * goes to study *

DPK you may wanna do the news part yourself. I'm busy so it cant be finished soon.

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.

ok can you PM me the backend code? I can surely help. <img src="smile.gif" border="0" alt="" />

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?

can you point to an example? it sounds like the profile page...
