EvilCMS / Forum system
« on: April 09, 2011, 09:00:59 PM »
Hi,

I thought we should make a large project that the whole community can work on together. We will need PHP coders, MySQL experienced people, graphical designers and idea creators.

We would either make a complete CMS(content managing system) or a forum engine much like SMF. Now, what is the difference? A CMS is not necessarily a forum, but can include a forum. A CMS can include everything from a blog to a pastebin and forum, or all three. Personally I think we should start with a forum system. But comments are welcome.

Anyone think they are up for contributing to this project? Any PHP coders? Ideas? Comments!  ;D

Graphical designers, idea creators, MySQL + PHP (basics) I'm so IN.

My idea:

First of all we could try to modify an already made forum system such as MyBB/SMF since most of the people are comfortable with those systems so by that we could gain experience on how forum systems work, how they are secured against attacks and etc. After that part we could start to create parts by parts.

This is how it's gonna be organized:

When someone applies to join this project, they will have a task to create a function and once they are done they shall upload their part and send it to the main holder of the project, once the functioning systems & other databases related stuff are done me or any other graphics master should take in a part into it and create the graphics that is requested by the main holder. First of all before applying, you (ande) should write details about studying the other forum systems or if they already have that knowledge they can apply directly.

Isn't there some sort of open source PHP script for these kinds of projects? A project managing system?

I think we should look at the solutions of other forum engines, but make our own from scratch and not copypasting from others. Mainly because I want this script to be secure from the bottom up.

That I don't know about, but what I meant is not copy pasting from others, I meant that they should look onto other forum engines and study it then gain experience and THEN we could do from scratch.

Yah, but its not like we need to use half a year getting to know other engines then start coding. I for one have a clear idea on how it works, if people got questions I cant answer in most cases. Everyone that knows PHP a bit more then the basics should know/understand this.

Starting from scratch would be great. You know looking into other forums to see how things are done kinda take the point away for me. Sure if we get stuck then its alright but...yea :P

We'd be aiming to make a fully functional forum, right?

Well then you should call out all the PHP coders since they might not have noticed this thread, and actually even though I know the basics of PHP I can understand how forum engines & functions are but not able to code them full functional.

But yes as I said I'm in this where I'm needed.

Well, I'm rather comfortable with his kind of project, I've been some months coding in PHP and so far I'm able to create a forum, and should be SQLi, XSS, RFI and LFI Safe-Proof.
Although I agree with factionwars and I believe we should start with some already known CMS so people can get used to it, the way of coding, the variables, the protection system, everything.
In fact, we could simply pick up in some CMS and modify and add some utility's, for instance we could add some more tags, more search filters, we could even implement Ajax and XHTMLPreRequest (the function to update a field without reloading the whole page).
