Re: How to build a community portal

A portal can mean so many things nowadays. Do you want it to have unique content? Do you want it to be more like the MSN/Yahoo portals? Do you want a forum? etc. It would almost definitely need to require a backend web development language such as PHP. Could you please provide some more information as to exactly what you're looking for so that we can offer more help?

Re: How to build a community portal

Thanks for the quick response. Basically I want to provide something like a one-stop information portal. Information such as travel, sports, schools, community anouncements etc. I guess it will have content.

Re: How to build a community portal

My site is a portal << snipped to comply with forum policy >> and i uses mambo OS and it is great and i would say far better than PHP-Nuke or Post-Nuke. If you need any help with anythink in setting up your mambo portal let me know and i will be happy to help you or anyone else that are going to use mambo.

I have tried Post-Nuke, PHP-Nuke and E107 portal software and they are nothing compared to mambo. The next best i would say is e107.


Email me at: webmaster@webmasterglobal.com
For any help that you require and i will try my best to answer any question you may have.

Hope mambo is the CMS for you cos it is for me.
