Arendorian Portalv3

What is it?

Arendorian Portal v3 is a update to the Arendorian Portal v2 CMS (Content Management System) of the portal, designed from scratch to implement many of the functionality which was lacking in Portalv2. Essentially, it is a templating manager which can take almost any existing (X)HTML template and generate a dynamic and easily updatable website.
The distinctive features of Portalv3 are:

  • Full control over outputed HTML, CSS & RSS
    • Global Templates
    • Unique page templates
  • Multi-user access configuration
    • Specify indivdual pages each user is allowed to manage
  • Multi-Level Repeaters / "Repeating Elements"
    • No more copying a template for each entry on a page
    • Easy to use and flexable Comments & Ratings function for Repeater Modules
  • Administration built-in to the system
  • File manager which provides friendly file-links.
  • Page Caching (rather then generating on each load)
  • MySQL Database (flat-file db is planned)
  • Works with Safe_Mode On, and Register Globals Off!
  • Designed to allow for easy installing for BBClone, a powerful statistics engine.

It is also being designed as a basis for two special CMS's:

  • VSportal
    • Virtual Series content management system
    • A script designed to manage a website for a Virtual Series'
    • Designed for the Stargate Universe Virtual series community
  • SGUportal
