Question What's the best free portal software?
I think ChiefDelphi uses vPortals, but that costs money...

I know sigma squared uses phpNuke, but they said that's always crashing....

Are there any good web portals out there?

Its a combination of a vBulletin hack and some custom work by myself.

phpNuke can be very overwhelming. Last time I tried to use it (1.5-2 years ago) it was very buggy & had bad grammar throughout.

I'm planning on redoing my team's site using Zope. It's free, open-source and really cool (Python based).

There is an open source portal for Zope called Plone (www.plone.org). It's definately worth a look.

How would you like to write your own?

I have developed tutorials on how to create a portal based on the phpBB system. You can easily integrate the forums into your site, and then use a simple news codes and such to totally mod it out.

Check out our site for an example: http://www.cogsquad.org/

.. and the tutorials located on my site: http://www.AJQuick.com/

Place your attention entirely on my voice and try to ignore all the others. It is important to be able to focus on a single source of information while blocking out all the other things competing for your attention.

InvisionBoard (www.invisionboard.com) can be modified in such a fashion.

www.4osx.com and http://www.ibplanet.com/ both use variations on this sort of modification.

It's a simple PHP include script--one that I have no idea how to do . Anyway, if you do want to look for them, http://www.ibplanet.com/ will have it if ANYONE has it.

Just a thought but I did manage to install phpnuke recently without any knowledge of php.

ezPortal is what I am using on my loaclhost. I think the only limitation is that it's a phpBB hack.

You can find it at phpBBHacks.
