Details
A complete portal solution for Domino. Allows persistent user customization, anonymous use, drag & drop arrangement of user layout, a dynamic menu system, RSS stocks and weather, news system, etc. It's everything you'd expect in a professional portal (I hope!). I wrote it because I was frustrated with the lack of out of the box solutions from Lotus, and WebSphere was just a dream when I began this project.

This has been a side project that I've worked on for almost 4 years, and implemented at each company I've worked for, and this tradition continues. That said, updates will hopefully be frequent, but I generally only add features that my employer requests. I'll certainly welcome feedback, but I just wanted to let people know that they're playing second-fiddle to my real job. Hopefully that will keep people from thinking that I'm ignoring them:) Overall, I just hope people enjoy it, and it's nice to contribute to a community that has given me so much. Domino is a misunderstood genius, with a few minor quirks:)

This was previously titled 'mPublisher' in the sandbox, but I thought portal was a bit more appropriate. It's been years since I put out a new release. mPublisher was a good concept, but the coding was embarassingly bad, as it was my first foray into Notes development.

I'd like to thank the developers of the Yahoo UI, who wrote most of the drag & drop and animation libraries that are included in the Script Library section. Also, Brothercake.com for the inclusion of UDM, which is the heart of the drop-down system in this release. UDM is not freeware, so please purchase a copy if you implement mPortal...it's relatively cheap for what you get.
