CMS - Couple of questions

[eluser]Pascal Kriete[/eluser]
I'm with Derek. It really depends, particularly for the parser.

For user authentication I usually write a library to do the logic and then have a user model to deal with the db. I've tried putting it all into the library, but it always ends up being sort of messy. I personally prefer having short files and short functions in exchange for a lot of them.

Since the parser will have quite a bit of logic, I would definitely start with a library. Whether or not it warrants an additional model depends on how much database manipulation it has to do. If you only need 2 database functions, then that it's probably easiest to keep them in the library. Short files are great, but there is a point where fragmentation begins.

Have fun .
