For the Members area, I looked for a myspace clone. After quite a bit of searching, I found a script called dolphin, that looked real promising. It needed a lot of settings to install, and while I was looking around trying to solve all the problems I found Community Builder.
As I said before, I hate Joomla. The decision to try one more Joomla installation did not make me happy.
Browsing the fora, I found that CB is the only community tool for Joomla. I found that really weird, and looking deeper, I decided that it was a well rounded project, that was worth giving it a try.
To download, you need to register at Joomlapolis. No big deal, especially since the community there is pretty big, and there is a lot of material to work with.
Installation seems daunting when you first read the readme, but it is much easier in reality. Just follow the steps.
Something you need to know about this engine, is that CB is not plug and play. Well, it will work fine, but there is not much to work with at first. What makes it special are the numerous plugins that work well with it, user hacks (you can find them at the joomlapolis community), and your own tweaks. Think of it like wordpress. Take it bare, and it does the job. Throw in some plugins, and it becomes a powerhouse.
At this point, I have not reached the members engine up to the point I want it to be, but Community Builder’s modular nature allows me to create anything I want when I have the time to work with it.
There are many useable websites that provide information on cisco training as well as mcdba certification to those who are in security training already and are not satisfied with microsoft training.
