Vinoth:
will SMF have an portal in future like other boards, ???


just out of interest to ask??

Grudge:
If someone makes one. IIRC no major forum developer has a portal as a offering from the developers (always 3rd party)

packman:
I'd much rather see forums integrated into third party portals/CMS.

The world's best forum developer isn't necessarily the world's best portal/CMS developer, and vice versa.

IMHO the world will be a better place when all forum developers realise that their forum is a tool that a lot of people want to integrate into a web site using someone else's code and all portal/CMS developers realise that their offering doesn't need to offer every feature known to mankind using internally written/supported code.

The SMF developers appear to have seen the light in this respect, which is which is why I'm spending so much time with the product :)

Vinoth:
i was willing to see one,

SMF Portal.

roboter88:
I still like the old MAILBOX /Bulletin Board System most eg pcBoard!


tree structure (All the way optional - toggle via admin):

Intro - > login - > main  <  Content[navigation(start,FORUM,news,guestbook,gallery,downloads and on)]

So you have 1 theme and as the "base/heart" of it the "forum" syndcated with the news then you have the option to add new "categorys" which will automaticly total lintegrated (navigation,theme).

Categorys example:
A custom guestbook script.
A mirrored website.
Everything...


Also for customizing user purpose ("Which is a main key for success cause everybody has his own special ideas, how something should look like.") a editor for altering the theme(logicly arranged like header,content,footer) as seen in  *.tpl s.

And 1 variable for each theme constant like "width, margins and such."


Just some thoughts how i would construct a bbs :p

Ohw and very importend total FLASH export compatibilities (querys). Mybe form scratch inside FLASH integration :)

Think of this all inside Flash ..... just a FUTURE dream or stunning?
Even macromedia would have intrests ...
