vbPortal is a powerful and customisable Content Management System for vBulletin, written in PHP and using MySQL for a fast, backend database engine.
The goal is to give you options and features to separate your forum from the rest and make it broad enough to attract more visitors and users. vbPortal allows you to store, format, reproduce and manage content.
Not only can the user join a sub-usergroup and have a whole sub-set of forums they can now have a whole set of portal modules assigned to that usergroup alone and a completely diverse style set for each one.
vbPortal has its own content management system called Portal CP. The Portal CP is where you would configure the many options for vbPortal, add categories to your modules, set usergroup options or permissions and also, options or permissions for each module.
vbPortal allows you to quickly and easily set each usergroup to have a unique home page, which you select from any of the installed modules. If you are familiar with vBulletin's forum permissions and options you will not have difficulty mastering vbPortal's.
It allows you greater control of the modules each usergroup can view, greater control of which blocks to use in each module and manage the layout of the blocks in each column. All modules support unique side and center block layouts.
You could decide not to have side columns in a module or any combination of left and right columns. You could configure each module independently to display any combination of blocks. vbPortal supports a left, side column in your forums. You can not select all 70 blocks for your forum side column, only side blocks. In addition, you can specify how many items are displayed in each block.
If you want the last ten Reviews and four Top Stories, you simply edit the display limit in the block's properties. If you want to display five items from a specific newsfeed in the left column of a module but only four items in the center column of another module you can do this.
