MK portal/CMS
 

There seem to be a new portal/CMS software for VB in development, anyone have any feedback on this?

http://www.mkportal.it/

1st site to try it out is http://www.cpfools.com/

this is for releases...

Sorry, cant move it to the Lounge which should be more appropriate, maybe moderators will help me out on moving the thread..?

installed! :p

HEHEHEHEHE HEE

lmao...

It is a very nice system when used with IPB. I don't see why it would be any different with vB.

One of the plusses about it is that it makes it a simple matter to create two or three columns, with your forum pages in the center column (3 column) or right column (2 column).

This looks pretty awesome...is it out yet?

It will be out next week (talked to the Author)

it looks very vBportal ish(very over cludered) and does it require alot of queries?

I have a highly modified IPB running with it - maximum 14 queries. There isn't a lot of load with it.

The 'clutter' is admin driven. Two or three column, and each block is created without hacking - turn them on or off from within the ACP. You choose whether you have the forum running within the columns or as a standalone.

Actually a very clean and configurable piece of code.

Im sorry, I am looking for a place to download this for vbulletin but do not see it. I went to their site, registered and dont see any download links. Is this free?

Give it about a week - the vB version hasn't been released yet, from what I can tell.

They generally don't run a wide-release public beta.

I use it on an IPB board too. It's def one of the better portals I've used (and I've used many) It has a bunch of pretty cool modules, but for my vBulletin, I'm still going to use what I have now.

I think the biggest downside for most users will be the skinning side. It's a little difficult compared to the templating of vBulletin.. I have no problem with it though, so experienced skinners should be okay as far as that goes.

But I would recommend it, it's very fast, very little queries, a wysiwyg editor for custom pages, etc. I won't get into it that much, there's a features list over on their website.

EDIT: It looks like they have released m04 (the vBulletin working version)

Moved to the lounge.

Well im always open to try something new. This portal looks nice- I will be keeping my eyes open for it.
