Introducing the New HomePortals CMS Plugin

Posted by Oscar Arevalo

A few days ago I released the latest update to the HomePortals framework and its counterpart management platform ColdBricks. Besides the obligatory bug fixes and improvements, there was one new major feature on this release: the CMS Plugin. The CMS Plugin is a HomePortals extension to provide content management and site administration features to any HomePortals-based application without requiring the use of an external application (like ColdBricks) or building your own administration features.

HomePortals 3 Portal Framework

Posted by Oscar Arevalo on Apr 10, 2008

Well, after several years of going back and forth with this project, I finally decided to share it with everyone and release my little baby as an open source project. HomePortals is a framework or platform for creating and running portals in ColdFusion. Most of the features in HomePortals focus around modularity, reusability of visual components, and personalization.

Using Polymorphism and Inheritance to Build a Switchable Data Access Layer

Posted by Oscar Arevalo on Nov 28, 2007

One thing I don't like when starting on a new application is having to go through the process of setting up and configuring the database before I can get anything even running at all. So, for a couple of projects I'm working on I thought about reading and writing data to plain and simple XML files and then later replace that section of the code with a proper database access layer.

BugLogHQ Now at RiaForge!

Posted by Oscar Arevalo on Jul 18, 2007

Hi, This is a quick update to let everyone know that BugLogHQ has been added to RiaForge. So the download will now be from there and not from here. The page for the project is Here. If someone is using it, I'll love to hear some comments and feedback.

About

This page is an example of the templating features in HomePortals 3.1. The goal of the experiment was to take any good quality pure html+css layout and implement it using HomePortals in a completely modularized way. All content on this page has been separated from the page layout structure and is handled independently of the page structure. This gives the benefit of allowing the host application to manipulate (rearrange,replace,add,remove,etc) the content without intermingling display logic with the HTML structure.

If you are interested in developing or playing around with HomePortals, just drop me a line at oarevalo at gmail dot com, and I'll be happy to help.
