First question, i want extensibility and i love the way wordpress handles this so i have started making add filter and hook functions. This will make it easy it add plugins, if you have anyway i could implement plugins like any popular software does, holla at me.

no reply? Hmm, anyways, ive covered that part, now i need a template, it doesnt have to be anything flashy as the web master should be able to add new themes, so please post mobile templates i can use as default template, i will mention any contributors in the scripts credits.

Like!

Can you please tell what you need.
Do you mean template?
Where do we based?

What filters? You think regular expresions?
I can search my old hdd for some ready-made designs, but perhaps it would be better to tell me what to and how to be default and i make it so. Just need a few markup elements to know what will be and "how" will be done fast.

Anyway, this will be an interesting project.

just a default theme, any mobile or .mobi compliant theme would be good, nothing flashy.

I see im not getting much help here. Anyways, i was wondering, about making the site utf-8 compliant and well PHP wouldnt know utf-8 if it hit it in the head (atleast versions below 6)...well i need to know if the performance hit it MAY have on the site is woth it, any contributions? Or should i just go ahead and use normal ascii.

UTF-8/without BOM, all the way

UTF-8/without BOM, all the way

I ported a UTF8 class that works with mb_string and iconv extensions to the application, so i can validate special characters without problems like

var_dump(strlen('äليفثàäâîñçäèþýûîöñ')); // Invalid result
var_dump(UTF-8::strlen('äليفثàäâîñçäèþýûîöñ')); // Thats better

Does aanyone know any good ACL class that doesnt enforce database abstraction layers to it? Ive tried phpgacl but its too complex, and then Tackle seems okay but too much redundant code + its too closely knitted with ADODB and i use a different abstraction layer. Zend ACL uses their Zend DB, and Cake PHP is just awful.

Do more research bro u will get it soon enough, i dont think anyone here can help you much because most dont understand. i take it your using your own framework entity. why dont you create an ACL class then that is fully abstracted and clean.

already done, and yeah im making it a sorta framework. 90% of it is done anyways. I just need to clean up the framework and start creating a core application (as a plugin) that is detachable.

Great smart idea if you need any php or ruby help i am willing

its turning out to look like an extensible cms than a community lol. Um which do you think will be the preferred method. I want the admins to be able to create pages from the admin panel, now i could either store the pages in db or as file, which would rock more?

quick view of what im working with http://mgigs.widaafrica.com

[antony2kx]

From a builder perspective use both store in db then save in file and serv the file as cached data, each time the db is updated just update the file

[CreativityKills]

due to encoding issues, i wont use database, ive settled for file driver but i will probably make a hook so its fetchable from database too

[antony2kx]

ok then i understand, so which file class will u use Php DOM or simple html dom?
