PHP portal systems
If you want to find a good portal system for your needs then maybe you will not find all of the possibilities if you only type the term "php portal" to Google. It is because nowadays the term "portal" and "content management system" are used as interchangeable items. So if you read about that XY portal system or XY content management system then it probably refers to the same "framework".
The definition of a CMS is: a software system that is used to manage images, audio files, web documents. However a portal system is a bit more. For example if you have a calendar, money exchange, weather forecast then these components extend a cms a bit and construct a portal system.
Main features of a PHP portal:
- Create and manage web documents
- Manage users - register, login, logout, ...
- Manage user roles - who can do what
- Easy to extend it with components, blocks, plugins
- Changeable design via skins / themes
- Content and settings are editable from anywhere
- Relative easy setup, no specialist is needed
To setup a php portal system can take only ~10min. However to fine setup, design settings, rule definitions needs more time. It always depends on what do you want.
