php nuke & bb

Post by dannymc1983 »

hi im currently trying to create a site for the submission of student projects. the site has two kinds of users, students and lecturers. students would have the ability to submit projects while lecturers would have admin privileges for such operations as deleteing profiles, deleting or grading projects etc. I have actaully coded a good bit of this already but i recently discoverd the existence of phpnuke and phpbb. would these applicaitons be useful for the puroposes for what im doing or would i be better off coding it myself?? i know both these applications are used primarily for the creation and administration of forums but i just thought id ask anyway just in case they could make my life a bit easier....

The reason I suggested it was that I was pretty certain that I had seen something like what you are talking about on hotscripts. I guess you could use that combination to do something like that. When it comes to a CMS/BB combination I actually prefer using Mambo and the components that it supports. http://www.mamboserver.com and http://www.mamboportal.com

The infrastructure in Mambo is strong and adding 3rd modules is so simple you would be amazed.
