Hi all,
I've used FuelPHP for a year or so, and I have created some application - and I love all of them!
I think FuelPHP is a great tool:
- you have all the tools you need to create a very powerful application
- you have amazing performance either with big database
- framework is well documented and supported
But... Is there something we / you can do do improve it?
I think that other stuff related to FuelPHP aren't at the same level; for example this forum isn't so good. Why don't you think about improving the FuelPHP world?
Two of the things I suggest are:
- to improve forum functionality (for example, with Firefox 15 the formatting doesn't work!) and theme (it can be improved a lot)
- create a "package" section, where logged user can vote / write something about all the packages in the fuel world.
- ... something else ?
I think this can be useful for old and new user.
Thanks to all
We're working on the forum issue.
It requires moving away from Pagodabox, and converting the current data to a new format. Give us a few more weeks.
As for the rest, we're working on an application ( called "Fuel Depot" ) that will have all that: packages, docs, API browser, snippets and example code, a tutorial section, etc. It's on github, so if you want to help, please, because we haven't had a lot of time for it lately.
Thanks for the answer Harro, what I wrote isn't an attack to the team, but simply an analysis that I wrote because I love FuelPHP and I hope it will involve more people in the future.
I know the "Depot" application, I copied the structure of the Hybryd Controller to manage ajax request in a project :-].
And what about a section on the site to describe / rate / list all the packages created for fuel?
It is in the planning to make that part of Depot, but other then the menu entry and the module folder nothing has been made yet.
We had a nearly finished application about a year ago called Cells, we're going to use bits of that for the new site.
Again, the biggest problem is time, which I don't have at the moment. So if you feel you can contribute to Depot, we would absolutely welcome that. I need all time available to work on the framework, so I can't do much myself.
Wonderful!
First hurdle will probably be to upgrade it to 1.4/develop, haven't even had time for that. I can see if I can do that later today so you don't have to.
Here in Rome I have 4 days of holiday, if you want leave it to me, so I can familiarize with the repository (I didn't use GitHub so much, at work we have private SVN repository).
So I have to improve Depot using the 1.4/develop brash, wonderful :-]
