Portal and VB Integration

[laidbackfella]

I have a few questions about the ability to integrate VB seamlessly into a site.

1. If I wanted to set up a site like Friendster/MY Space/Orkut could I integrate the user login so that when a person registers the needed information would be create a VB forum account as well?

2. Is there a way that as the person changes password information for the main site the VB Forum account information changes as well?

3. Is there a way that the log-in link could direct the unregistered user, that has happened to visit my forum, to the main log in page?

4. Is there a way that the profile link could be redirected to a user site profile rather than a VB profile?

5. On my site I will offer profiles for various groups and colleges. Will I be able to create a hack/mod that would allow me to instantly create five forums under a sub forum heading once these profiles are created on my site?

For instance if I have Stanford University partner with my site to gian access to services could a hack/mod recognize that this profile is a college profile versus a member profile and create five categories:

Prospective Students
Current Students
Alumni Students
Faculty and Staff
General Information

under a Stanford sub forum. Categorized kinda like:

Main Site
>Colleges And University Forums
>>Western States
>>>California
>>>>Stanford

6. Can you provide any examples of sites that do this?

My forum system will play a large role in my social networking portion of my site but it will not be the central focus of my site.

My site will be a blend of many different types of site if you were to place Orkut, DMOZ, National Speaker's Bureau, Business.com, thefacebook and the functionality of several other sites into a blender this will be a large part of what my site will offer.

The forums will be essential to my site but not the main element as to why people are there day after day.

I'd like to see sites that have integrated vb into their database.

If you know of any please share.

I recommend you read the main feature of VBadvanced portal called "CMPS" it is great and allowed you to make many various modules in your front page in top of your VB forum... the best of it is that it is fully integrated with your VB forum ... especially the login panel which is integrated with your VB databse.... hope this information will help ..have a look at :

I want VB to be fully integrated with my site.

Not my site to integrate with VB.

The site is the major part.

The forums are incidental and auxillary.
