Topic: Portal/Homepage

I'm about to setup a new community and I have decided to use PunBB as the forum; I want some sort of portal that intergrates with PunBB, but a simple one, just where I can post news, have a menu with some links, maybe a poll and a box where users can log in/out (That means the login system is all one).

Can anyone reccomend me a good hack or CMS that integrates with PunBB? Thanks!

Re: Portal/Homepage

If I make a forum called Anouncements and I post a thread on it, will it appear on the front page of that tutorial you just gave me?

Moreover, is there any sort of integration with PunBB and WordPress?

Re: Portal/Homepage

yes it will, you just need to put the forum id of the annoucements forum in the index.php that guide creates smile
