Ah, that sort of makes sense, actually. Maybe there's scope for an enhancement to the standalone mode to have a front page?
Our helpdesk doesn't have one so yeah.

But I am past all that now. I am their unwitting puppet no longer! No more! I will extract from them the price of their gluttonous feast! ~ Delita Heiral

It does... it's the list of tickets ;)

Duh. That's not what I meant.

Either a front page that we provide, or a method for accommodating portal programs.  I'd be up for some extensive testing with SimplePortal, which is the only portal I've ever used.

I have no portal preferences myself... the person who introduced me to SMF used SimplePortal, and so I have a familiarity with it.

I know, just kidding with ya.

I can see that as something we add to SD actually. The standalone mode was never intended to be used with portals, and doing our own would likely be easier for users than trying to get it to work nicely with all the portal mods.

An optional to enable our own fontpage so user can either decide to use SD's fontpage or portal's fontpage which can be done from our ACP

In SimplePortal I can create new "pages" where I can put any blocks I like.  "Pages" don't show up on the menu, but they are accessible through the URL.  You could simply allow the user to enter the URL of the "Welcome" page, and then feed them there by creating one new menu item.  It might be an easier way than developing our own portal page, though I'm unclear if that was your meaning.

* Arantor thinks he needs to go check out portals, doesn't really use them.

That's basically it; I once used a portal on a project site, found it didn't really make a lot of difference in practice.

But I can see the appeal. I think it's something we're going to have to look at more indepth.

Key thing: you guys (portal users) need to tell us what you'd like it to do and we'll make the magic happen.

For PortaMx we need no special handling. On stand alone mode we hide the portal.
If a user request a single page, the frontpage is shown with the requested page.
All works easy and will be implemented in the next update (v0.980-1)  :)

PortaMx has released version 1.4 for SMF 2.0 with revolutionary features, which no other portal has. This is only possible with the PortaMx 'OOP' programming technique and the built in 'SEF' engine.

Glad to hear it's working with PortaMx, feline.

In stand alone mode it would be nice to have a "Welcome to the HelpDesk" portal page, where you could provide specific information for the client.  Rules, policies, procedures, links, etc.
