Cheers Club (Architecture)

Abstract

Cheers Club is a community portal. Community web portals serve as portals for the information needs of pmiicular communities on the web. We here discuss how a comprehensive and flexible strategy for building and maintaining a high-value community web portal has been conceived and implemented. The portal will be offering various services featuring a variety of contents. CHEERS CLUB offers these modules: Log in (User Authentication), Register, E- Surveys (Poll Online), Contact, Calendar, Fomms, Games, Chat, Company, Articles, Links, News, Products, Downloads, Gallery, Cheers Music Portal, Cheers E-cards. The Administration Section will not be for the normal users but only for the web master to manage the portal in an easy way. The function of an administrative section is to provide an easy to use interface to perform various administrative tasks that does not require any technical knowledge about how the web portal is working and about the underlying technology and infrastmcture being used. Such a section is needed because the people who will be mnning the portal (after we hand it over to them), will not be having technical knowledge about making entries in the database or adding or removing certain facilities (which is done through code). For this purpose, we will be providing an administrative interface that will take care of these tasks on behalf of the user. The portal architecture would bring such services together all under one interface.
