BuckeyeSVT Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 The reason I am asking about the portal is because over the years we went from Portal, to IPDL, to Nexus (still unavailable) and whatnot. The current portal is pretty weak in some areas (especially latest posts) and I'm wondering if there are changes in the works for the new version of IPB? I know there are other portals (i.e. MKPortal, Unreal and Fportal....). However most are not completely compatible and won't work with options like Blog inclusion and gallery. -Dom
Amy T Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 I have not used in vision's portal in a long time. I use ocportal my self and ya it does not pull fomr the blog or gallery either although it also has its own of both of those.
Lindsey_ Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 I use ocportal Lol... I hear OCPORTAL 4 is going to be free :P
Amy T Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Yep well the older versions were free too just not open source like 4 will be. Well open source as you can now make your own version. The pay version of ocportal only basically removed the branding (copyright) and gave you full support, no features.
.Matt. Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 I heard they where just going to include an open source portal gun to make your own portals, but just rumors. ;)
BuckeyeSVT Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Ok, hang on. OCPortal looks more like a CMS than an actual Portal. A portal is one page, displays all the content of the website in a neat and contextual fashion. I don't need the OCPortal, that's basically a whole website - I need a portal page. -Dom
Amy T Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 ya ocportal is a cms it may have portal in the name and may be used as a portal though. thats what I am using it for right now but when 4 does come out I will be using its wiki system.
BuckeyeSVT Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Honeslty to me that's overkill. There are good Wiki clients for IPB and I already have Blogs and Gallery. Having another script sitting on my server that is redundant is well... redundant :ermm: . I don't know about you, but scripts that compliment and use the same database reducing overall footprint and reducing the load on my server make me a happy guy. No one has any info? -Dom
Alex Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 There may be a blog entry on it in the future, otherwise there is currently no information.
Cool Surfer Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 yes please dont release v3 with the same old portal which no one uses :huh: I expect some nice stuff in v3. :)
peter_anderson Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 UnrealPortal is pretty good. Does the job for me.
BuckeyeSVT Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Question is, when will Unreal Portal and others work with 3.0? Ask yourself that.... Built in portal will work day one without waiting for an outside developer to modify the code to work with 3.0 changes. -Dom
