Hi,<br /><br />1. You can create different types of users for your purposes and there&#39;s several ways to accomplish what you want (different organizations /communitien / groups for different users, etc.) After login Redirect based on which group user belongs to and so forth.<br /><br />2. You created your message by using Liferay forums - so yes Liferay has a forum capabilities included (Although this version is a bit customized)<br /><br />3. Yes Liferay included web form portlet that provides multiple types on fields (you can customize it without coding)<br /><br />4. Yes Liferay has a calendar where you can create events, display events, etc.<br /><br />5. I believe this can be done<br /><br />+++++ of course a lot more <br /><br />I suggest that you download Liferay yourself and give it a try. It&#39;s really worth it!<br /><br />- Lari

Hi,<br /><br />I&#39;m new to Liferay, But I&#39;ve been using alot of cms like Joomla, Drupal, Expression Engine and Wordpress in building my clients websites and portals. I also asked some other co-developer of their Ideas in building a school portal and many of them had advice me that i would go for Liferay, They said that Liferay will be a great solution for my school portal that I&#39;m gonna be building, This portal is for my secondary school. At this point I&#39;m still gathering some Ideas on how I would be build my school portal.<br /><br />So I need some confirmation from this community if it&#39;s really feasible and what are some process involve in implement it using Liferay.<br /><br />1. The portal will be having 3 types of users, Each of them will have different access and privileges.<br /> - Pain visitor - Can only access public information like &#34;history of school&#34;, and &#34;public announcement&#34;<br /> - Logged in Student - will have its own control panel and can access pages meant for students.<br /> - Logged in Teachers - will have its own control panel and can access pages meant for teachers<br /><br />2. Does Liferay it have Forum?<br /><br />3. Easy and Customizable forms, that means you could add fields and radio buttons with no coding involve.<br /><br />4. Does Liferay have Event Calendar?<br /><br />5. Additional Capabilities for Users<br /> - Logged in Students - will have its own blog w/ categories<br /> - Logged in Teachers - will have its own blog w/ categories and will have a capability to post data to each students (e.g. grades and assignments)<br /><br />I&#39;m still gathering Ideas, so I&#39;m open to all your suggestion. The functions that I mentioned above are only my thoughts. If you know some good function that would be good for my portal, please feel free to suggest it here. I&#39;m also looking of some great school portal/website which has a great structure of pages.<br /><br />Thank You!
