OK, the fastest way to get a site on the air is to use already written code, right ?
So a few hours later Googling, and perusing quite a few ASP code sites I still haven't come up with anything that I need (maybe I'm just too pedantic  ). What I'm after is :
- a Poll/voting system that allows for MULTIPLE active questions at the same time. Cookie protection to slow down people voting multiple times; 8+ options per question
- Links manager, hopefully with a click-thru counter; ratings; reviews but all those features are optional
- an Announcements system. Basically a 'slash' system without the reply feature.
- Event calendar, with day, month, year view.
Now here's the trick ... I know Snitz has all these features but this site has NO use for forums as such. Can anyone suggest any programs that they use ? Obviously all programs must be password protected (or I can add that easily anyway)
Yes, I could write all this stuff myself, but I need to fast-track this thing so I was hoping to grab some prewritten stuff and adjust to suit my needs.
Any help appreciated ...  |

ROFL ... most ones that sound remotely possible to what I what  I'm focussing on the voting at the moment, but most sites like aspin.com , asp101.com , etc have a selection of all.
Basically I'm just interested to see if anyone has had similar requirements, or what their favourite one is. Almost like me ... I have my favourite hoster and forum software if anyone asks what my preference is. |

I looked around a bit and thought this one felt strangely familiar...it's snitz based.
http://www.maxwebportal.com/default.asp
Wonder what version it's based on and if they've applied the latest patches.
hmmm....I think this one is based on a fairly old version.
It still has the inc_top.asp file and I don't see any sign of the inc_header.asp file. The db user names and passwords aren't encrypted. No sign of the inc_sha256.asp file either.

Yeah, Maxwebportal was one of my first stops but they don't seem to have polls and I don't really need all the forum features.
I also hadn't noticed before that they have remove the Snitz version info.
wii, I've had a quick scan through there, but I'll look again |

Laser,
What DB are you looking to use with the portal? Haven't seen too much with MySQL capability. |

| I don't mind, the server runs Windows so I have Access and mySQL access. |

| I've never done anything with DBs myself, but surely anything made to work with access could be made to work with mySQL or MS SQL with ease? |

| Even Snitz has different code for the different RDBMSs, especially mySQL. With something as simple as this though, I would assume that the SQL is the same. |

| Can anyone recommend a good news manager? This is for my non-snitz site. Need something to help manage a page for press releases and/or mentions in the press. Has anyone tried these or can recommend others? |

| Kinda agree with Brad there, I've used "snitz" for a few things before where the forum was pretty much non-existant, just remember to keep the copyrights intact and your good to go. |

| Yeah, I thought about this for a long time, but dismissed it because I'd still have to expose parts of the forum at times (well, that's my thinking anyway ). I might consider it again, but the DUWare looks quite good as well. I've downloaded a few products, but not installed them yet though. |
