Many sites I run are more than a forum, but not much more. They do, however, want a more non-forumish look. Would it be feasible to create a portal interface for FUD?

My idea is to have a separate 'category' page, which effectively provides the currently index page. This would then allow an index page which can be customised to provide whatever environment the admin wants. Smile

Thoughts? Opinions? Rants?

If someone wants to add hooks allowing FUDforum to work as a portal engine, more power to them. Me, personally, I develop forums not portals Wink

.

That said 2.5.0 or 2.5.1 (depending on how my time goes) will have support for XML feeds, meaning that you can definately use forum's data outside of the forum with minimum difficulty.

Cool, the XML feed really answers my "RSS" question too.

Looking forward to it.

Depending on how "portal" like you want to get this will work:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
    <title>A portal like page</title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset="iso-8859-1">
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="top_level">
        <div class="menu_bar">
            <ul>
                <li>Menu Item 1</li>
                <li>Menu Item 2</li>
                <li>Menu Item 3</li>
            </ul>
        </div>
        <div class="main">
            <object data="/path/to/fud/index.php" type="text/html" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">
        </div>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

Attached is a stylesheet that is necessary to render that html.

Combine this dirty little hack with the information found here and you have a pseudo-portal site.
