Hi,
i want to check if KUNENA is a good solution for my needs and i need you guys for this.

I want to build a web based Bulletin Board (Message Board not Forums).

1. the purpose - clients won't have access to it from WEB, The Bulletin Board will be display on a LCD screen.
and it means that i don't need links menus or stuff like this, i just need the possibility (admin interface) to organize my messages nicely on the board.

2. I need some messages on the board will be change by time and date to a different messages that are scheduled.

3. i want to be able to change the font size in every meesage.

think about message board at in a classroom (for example) that display the activities for that day. just that instead of wood board with papers on it, it will be LCD that diaplay the web and some content on the web will be predefine and change at schedule times.



I know I wrote too much, sorry about that but this is important to me. 10x!!!

These are just a few thoughts:

If I understand your question correctly (I've made a few minor edits to what you wrote to bring out the key points), you want to build a website that allows you to create content but doesn't allow your site visitors the ability to navigate to different parts of the site; further, the site content should automatically change at selected time intervals. Is that correct?

The short answer to your question is that, no, I don't think a Kunena forum would achieve half of what you want because you only want to display content and not give your users any ability to select different parts of it or navigate elsewhere; Kunena is unsuited as an "electronic signpost".

As a technology medium, the internet is probably a good way to handle the content management issues. In other words, you can update, from anywhere, the data that will be displayed on your electronic message board. However, in terms of extracting and displaying that data, I'm not even sure if Joomla is a viable solution. There may be Joomla extensions that deliver what you want, but you may also have to write your own. Almost certainly this problem has been tackled elsewhere. Good luck! :)
