Hey all,

Well i hope you can help .. i have spent hours and hours going round and round not knowing what to use for my website - http;//www.OrlandoBritishClub.com

I was thinking about mambo - but i also need a forum -

I want the site to be set up so people only log in to one part of the site and be able to access all the parts to it.

I would like to site to have:

Message board
Photo Gallery - (Users can also upload to a section)
Diary/Calandar
Links
Feedback Form

If there is like a portal or some way that i could set up the phpbb forum to have a home page and a gallery?

i have seen sites such as escortevolution.co.uk & sebringclub.net that seem to have everything set up as the site all in one.

If anyone can help?

Thanks

James

I've incorporated all the items you mentioned wanting at one point or another into PHP-Nuke. However, it can take a bit of work to keep updated.

Gallery incorporates nicely into PHP-Nuke, and PHPBB comes preloaded, I believe. A links section and feedback form are built in. I found a calendar once, though it took a little bit of searching.

Of course, if what you're wanting is a little simpler, it can sometimes be easier to write it yourself. I was looking for a calendar program that was very simple with only a few features. Well, I didn't find one, so I decided to make one myself. That way, I'll get exactly what I want, or only have myself to blame.
