Whats the relationship between GuppY, Phortail, Portix and Minicontent?
From all the little web portals that I could find, while looking for the perfect web portal, Phortail is by far the one that had the user interface that I prefered. Furthermore, the concept and architecture of Phortail were good. But the PHP source code of Phortail needed serious work. So, Phortail was, for sure, a source of inspiration for GuppY, but you have to know that the PHP code of GuppY was written 100% “from scratch” to be more efficient, more flexible and more secure. To sum up, here are the inspiration sources on GuppY of the 3 tools Phortail, Portix and Minicontent: – Phortail : the general concept (with the non use of an external database) and the general look & feel – Portix : the concept of not using an external database, the quotations… and the will to do things in an easier way… – Minicontent : the bilingual capability and the categories in the articles menu.
