myPortal

myPortal is a new portal feature that i am coding for myBB it will feature many new additions to the exisiting portal such as custom blocks that can have php/html code in them, they can all be positioned on the portal where you want (via admin cp).

It will also feature the standard portal features such as nav menu, search, active users, news etc. I will post updates here as i work on it, and a live demo will be avaliable over the next week, any suggestions or ideas welcome.

Excellent idea, Aaron! I am sure this will be in high-demand.

cool, any suggestions or ideas kodaks?

Well, I think there should be an Admin CP option as to how many columns and rows to display for starters. Also, I think you should code it so other mod authors can introduce their own "Custom Blocks" that can be "plugged in" to the portal (like phpnuke has).

I would love to help out in BETA testing and such, please contact me if you are interested.

great idea with the plugins! i shall try that out. (i am PMing you now)

Here some sugestions (I already posted around here)

1. Some fields on the portal page, where you can write in custom stuff, and including in that, an edit buttom, which will only visible for admins. I really don't like to go to the admin CP, each time I want to change something

2. have you ever used http://news.google.com/? On the top right corner is a Link "Customized News", after using that you can drag and trop the modules, this function got really good critics, because it is so easy for the users (You also could use that for the index page, so users could customize there own page, but whereas google saves it in a cookie, at least the portal page should be save in the database).

ohhh nice idea i will look into using AJAX for that
