i wonder why most people say the mambo/joomla bridge with SMF is much better ?

[Tiramisu]

Does MKPortal works the same as Joomla/Mambo?
I have this problem when I browse with IE ... SMF and Joomla doesnt align ... it is like SMF is locked at the bottom of the page and a big empty space on top ... but with Opera or FF ... no probs ...

Any comments??

btw, don't forget that there's a new player - Enigma2
and it seems to be well-promising

wow thats cool too!
is it possible to shift from one portal to another after having everything set up ?

[Cerberus]

I don't think so, as I haven't seen any convertor from M/J to MKP and vice versa . I'm referring to portal functions of course, as the members table remains unchanged.

I like Joomla the best, it is more than a portal - it is a very powerful CMS. I used MKPortal when it first came out but it got frustrating to use and was lacking in features, power and updates, but it was good for a lightweight site. One great thing about Joomla is it is opensource and has a large developer base and has many add ons you can use to extend your site. MKPortal may not support SMF in the future but Joomla will; maybe not directly but through the community. MEO's own words say's MKPortal is not free and is not open source and never will be.
 
Anyway there are a lot of good portal's/CMS's out there; check this thread out.

Another nice CMS is bitweaver [nofollow] but nobody has an SMF intergration started yet, but one can hope somebody will make one..

If you want a small fast and easy portal for SMF take a look at TinyPortal [nofollow].

mkportal is the best and fastest solution in my personal opinion

I tried joomla and holy cowman its a headache to get started up and its overly complicated looks cumbersome provides support for like a million things none of which truly integrate with it seamlessly and has way too many theming issues when it comes to integrating with other systems!

Thats why i just went with mkp - it was as simple as pie

too bad mkp wont be supporting smf in the future - but I say "nothing lasts forever, so enjoy today and when tomorrow comes take care of its worries then - because nothing lasts forever including me"

so chill and lets have a party

oh its not so dramatic! lol come on man

we are always upgrading - but really my users are very happy with the current setup I have now....so they can use itfor a year or so and then by that time im sure a solution will come up anyways....

I think we all get up too much in upgrading too much
