CI Base - CodeIgniter Repository - El Forum - 03-18-2008
[eluser]Kemik[/eluser]
Hello all,
I'd like to announce CI Base, a CodeIgniter Repository. A handful of people have already seen it but I wanted to show everyone else so I can get their opinions too.
A few points:
1. I cannot design to save my life. The design is a template from styleshout.
2. The categories aren't final. It's just a list based off the opinions of the community repo.
3. I've already uploaded about 5 "code". Owners of that code, feel free to PM me to gain author status.
4. The site is in basic working order. I will be adding to it but it have reached the point that I feel it is usable.
5. A rating system is on my extensive list of things to do. It's a definite requirement to make the site full featured. Other things include receiving an email when a favourite of yours has been updated. There's also the possibility of making a feature to submit news when a new update is released.
I'm looking for feedback at the moment, but please do feel free to upload your code and use it to download from. Add reviews, etc.
Please post any bugs you find here (I've done my best to test it but there's always one or two that get through when you're moving along). I welcome suggestions for the design and anyone willing to contribute to the design.
I know there was a community repo and jTaby was interested in coding one but the community repo didn't look like it was going anywhere. I've read the forums and taken in everything you guys have said for ideas. This was too good a great project to pass. I allowed me to learn more about CodeIgniter and gain experience with several new libraries. I know I could have joined the development team but I feel my lack of experience would have left me behind. I hope you don't feel like you wasted your time.
Thanks. I hope you enjoy the site!

Looks good.
Is the repository code itself going to be listed?

Once I've finished the rating system I can post the different bits if you want. I suppose everyone picking holes in my code will teach me where I can improve :p

One little thing, I registered and made two bits of code favourites, but on the page with most favourite, they are not at the top, instead they are not ordered at all. Would be better to have the most 'favourited' code at the top.
Other than that so, far looks so good.

I have a few ideas to improve the knowledge of and expand the items in the repository, and here we go ...
I have already mentioned it in another thread there is more than one contributing developer that uses google code to manage their code so maybe you should import projects labeled codeigniter. There are some projects i didn't even know about.
For the snippets you could create a bookmarklet or a greasemonkey script so you can add snippets to the repository and/or insert the snippet in a forum post.
A tutorials category would be a great addition. And a contribution status would be nice.
The only thing that stops the repository in its grow is the laziness of the developers this is why there should be easy ways of adding code to the repository.

Fixed thanks. It was ordered by last updated by mistake.

I'd probably need to do this manually for now. I might make a slight change to the repo to allow an "unknown" author. At the moment any code I add is attached to my account. Maybe it would be useful that users could upload code and either set themselves as the author or have an unknown author.

I'm not sure what you mean with this one.
Quote:A tutorials category would be a great addition. And a contribution status would be nice.A tutorial feature would be another large job because obviously tutorials don't need to upload files and this is a requirement when submitting code. I can always add it to my list of things to do. I've implemented a checkbox in edit code profile so that when the code is no longer in development a message will be displayed on the code's profile. Please explain a bit more if that's not what you meant.
Update: It appears the server I'm hosted on is on a spam blacklist. Anyone who doesn't receive their activation email please PM me with your email address.

Subcategories for each heading will be needed, libraries alone will be a huge category and will get disorganised pretty quickly

Yeah I'm not the biggest fan of the current categories but I didn't really have that many ideas for the most common categories for libraries. I may change them to tags so that you can add multiple categories.
Things like blaze (CMS) cannot really come under any of the current categories. Feel free to post a list of categories you think we should have. I'm gonna have a quick read of the community repo category post again.
