Creating a Forums script |
[eluser]Bainzy[/eluser]
Hi everyone, For some time now I have being thinking about different ways of going about building a forums script in Codeigniter. However I can not seem to come up with a really good way of doing it. I obviously want my code to be re-usable and easy for anyone to read, i also require a plugins system so that it can be extended witout touching the main code of the forums, very much like wordpress uses. The thing i am most concerned about is speed. Obviously to make the front page there is a number of queries needed .... getting topics listing, getting who posted the topic, how many replies are under the topic etc etc. Can anyone sudjest a good way of going about this and starting with a solid foundation rather than getting so far along and starting over, any good reading ? I have being looking at the tutorial "Codeigniter with doctrine" however with the tutorials being incomplete and no signes of them ever being finished i would rather stay away from this and develope the whole application in codeigniter alone. Regards Chris

I built these forums with CodeIgniter: http://iclassengine.com/forums It is just like building anything else. Plan out what you want and then built it to accomplish that. Also for plugins take a look at this useful library: http://github.com/dhorrigan/codeigniter-events
