CMS Question

[NSUSA]

I am just wondering with Xenforo - can I create a similiar setup with a portal page like xenforo.com and what pieces would I need to do so?

I am not sure yet if I want to buy Xenforo, but then have to mix it with Wordpress or another CMS.

The home page on xenforo.com is custom.

You can use XenPorta for the index:

http://xenforo.com/community/resources/8wayrun-com-xenporta-portal.90/

Or just create a page node like Brogan did with his site:

http://cliptheapex.com/community/pages/home/
http://xenforo.com/community/resources/nodes-as-tabs.9/

Is there any current CMS solution that would utilize resource pages as well?

Do you mean pages from the Resource Manager? - don't understand.

Simple Portal is now ready to use for anyone looking on this thread.

That's correct.

I don't think XenPorta does that?

What exactly?
Simple Portal allows you to use it with different content types. Support for resources is in work

No XenPorta doesnt.
Simple Portal doesnt do it right now but he's promised to add this. Go nag him!

Do you have a time frame in mind, by any chance?

Akela go ask on the Simple Portal thread. He's more likely to answer there. He gave the link above.
I will say that Extra Portal has shown consistently that he and his team are very responsive to what people want.
Also completely courteous, patient and prompt to reply.

Can you just put resources in a sidebar box? That would highlight resource manager offerings. I think Xenporta and Simple Portal have that?
