Domain Portfolio – Free domain management script!!

Hi,

Domain Portfolio is a tool to make domain name selling easy, whether you have 5 domains or 5000 domains! The tool allows you to manage a database of domain names, divide your domain names into categories, allow users to search through your names and ask questions/make offers.

But it goes further than that. As the site owner you have complete control from an extensive set of administration tools, including mass domain management, data export and smart layout editor. Domain Portfolio has it all, and best of all, it wont cost you anything!

About Domain Portfolio

When we say you get complete control, we mean it! The original plan was to have the standard 'add, edit and delete categories and domains', but then we thought that maybe people would like a bit more control over their selling campaign...

You will see from the key features list at the right, we really went overboard with making sure you have every tool you could ever need when managing and selling your domain names! So why not give it a go? The program is free!

Built into Domain Portfolio is support for changing almost every aspect of the system. This is not limited to things like 'yes show domains' or 'no, dont show domains', but instead features a Smart Layout Editor, which you can use to change the entire layout of the site within a few clicks!

Key Features
• Unlimited Domains
• Integrated Search
• Unlimited Categories
• Template Driven
• Smart Layout Editor
• Sales Management
• Support System
• Domain Management
• Data Export Wizard
• *Forum BBCODE Output
• Domain Hit Counters
• Email Notification

This looks great! I am considering switching to this on NameTycoon.com...

The only sugguestion I would make, is to have the option to use a ModRewrite file to replace the dynamic URLs with false static ones, so a link to a domain would become:
http://domainportfolio.domainforums.com/demo/domain-5/domainforums.com
instead of:
http://domainportfolio.domainforums....act=domain&id=5
And a link to a category would become:
http://domainportfolio.domainforums.com/demo/category-1/Test_Category
instead of:
http://domainportfolio.domainforums....t=category&id=1

This way search engines can index the whole site and not just the front page.
Other than that, it looks as good as any commercial product I've seen on the market.

Great stuff, Jon!

Looks very cool - well done!

A couple more sugguestions to mention to your coder...
(sorry if I sound picky, but as I'm testing this out anyway, I may as well give you my feedback)...

1. Mention in the installation instructions to delete the /install/ directory after installation. This isn't metioned, and if left, someone can overwrite your installation.

2. Add a php stripslashes() to whereever you output WEBSITE_NAME. I choose "NameTycoon's Domains" as my site title, so everywhere it was outputted it appears as "NameTycoon\'s Domains".

3. Add "Categories" to the "Edit List Names" options under "Change System Messages". You can edit all the other sections, (Popular Domains, New Domains, A-Z Domain Listing etc), but when I wanted to change "Categories" to "Domain Categories" I found it wasn't in the list.

4. Add a "Showcase" content block. So far you have "New Domains" and "Popular Domains" content blocks on the home page, but if you want to promote domains that aren't in your "new" or "popular" section it doesn't seem to be possible. Give people a "Showcase this domain" box to check when adding/editing domains, so they show up under a "Showcase" block on the homepage.

5. Add an "Ads" content block. Most people using this script are going to want to put either some Google Ads or some Sponsours Links somewhere on the page. Why not combine this with your already excellent content layout system, so they can manage their "Ads" block the same way as the "Search" or "Categories" blocks?

6. If the domain has a "Buy it Now" price, automate the process by adding a link straight to PayPal. What's the point in users submitting an offer, if they are already prepare to pay the BIN price?

7. Give the option to display prices on the homepage under the "Popular Domains",
"New Domains" and "A-Z Domain Listing", like on the DomainSellerPro script: http://www.domainsellerpro.com/demo/

Please don't take this the wrong way. I am not criticizing this script, it is definately the best free Domains Portfolio on the market, and can thoroughly recommend it to anyone considering using it! These are just some ideas I came up with after installing it and playing about for 20 mins, that IMHO would make it even better... ;-)

Thanks very much for the suggestions Mr. Domains. My coder is already working on implementing them and we should be realising an updated version of the script in a few days.

Thanks everyone for the comments.
