I'm fairly new to the Codeigniter and MVC framework, I'm building a content management system (CMS) and I've got the basics done.
I need to be able to search through my companies databases and compile reports based on the results, does anyone know of a good library for this or am I going to have to build one from scratch? I'm using the latest version of CI and I'm using the ion_auth authentication library for my user login, all this is working great!
Check out this thread on
CMS based on CodeIgniter
If this is more advance stuff and you wanted simple crud tutorials (Create update and destroy data) check out : http://avenir.ro/create-cms-using-codeigniter-3/ and for documentation check out https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/

I am working on a plugin in CakePHP3 and I need to create a simply Oauth 2.0 Server API that allows to do a simple CRUD on the users' table and create sessions when needed.
I have done some research here in StackOverflow and it seems that the best choice would be
https://github.com/uafrica/oauth-server
Now, I have tried to make it work according to the doc in the repository but since it will be a plugin, not the core of the application I do not understand how it is supposed to work and which file I need to update.
Would somebody be so kind to give me the list of steps I need to follow and the actual files that need to be updated?
Many Thanks in advance
The uafrica/oauth-server project is woefully out of date. It requires v4.1 of league/oauth2-server, which is now currently at v7.2. Version 5 of that project was completely rewritten and is not backwards compatible with v4.x.
I don't think there's an out-of-the-box CakePHP 3 plugin that works with the current version of league/oauth2-server.
You'll have to either build your own plugin from scratch, or try to hack the uafrica/oauth-server project to get it work with league/oauth2-server.
I have a website build in Drupal 7. Due to complexity of some pages I want to build those pages in framework like Laravel!
Can I do that?
I want to keep user login and some node functionality of Drupal and will use Drupal's db!
You can but you shouldn't. The Drupal and Laravel are both back-end frameworks. By keeping some part of Drupal and another from Laravel will create problems for you later if not now. Just for example, you will have to sync session management of both systems to keep things synced!
Rather, I would suggest you go for some Front-End frameworks like BackBone, Angular etc. It'll effectively work with Drupal, as Drupal provides the REST API support.
I already built a web application using Yii and my client gave me a white labeled application that is built using Laravel 5. I wanted to convert the Laravel codes into Yii codes but it is very difficult, though it is possible(maybe), but it will take too long.
I was thinking that maybe it will be good if I install Laravel inside Yii framework. Is that possible? if not maybe you have suggestions?
Your help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks! :)
Both frameworks depending on the database tables so you can integrate both solutions and make database bridge, But there is noway currently to make integration between the router in both framework.
This extension allows running Yii2 and Laravel applications simultaneously at the same project, facilitating graceful migration from Yii2 to Laravel.
This is what you need mate Link
I have a web application that needs to be built using PHP/MySQL. The application will require documents to be generated from data in the MySQL database. Such documents will be printed and/or emailed and user will be prompted to run a daily print/email job based on business logic.
This application functionality needs to be made available to individual users such that they can upload data, have the system prompt them as to whether letters/emails are to be generated. The site also needs to be able to support a bulletin board, online live training events and will have admin area as well.
Question: Should a hybrid solution be developed such that the data management (upload functionality, and letter production) be a separate part of the site that authenticated Joomla users can access? That is, the document management functionality would exist separately from Joomla, but be called from within it via a link in the Joomla sitemap. Alternatively, should custom modules be developed from within Joomla to accomodate the document management functionality?
Thanks so much for your input!!
Joomla could do the job for you but based on the amount of things you need that differ from a normal Joomla site I would use a framework to build from instead of a CMS. I say this because it sounds like you need a lot more than just a CMS and it can be more work if you try making Joomla do things it wasn't designed to do. In my opinion Joomla is for "web sites" and not as much for "web apps". Of course those terms have overlap but it sounds like you would be better off with a Framework to go off of instead of working around Joomla to get what you want. However if the site is already done in Joomla it may be less work just to make a Joomla add-on.
Since you have to use PHP I would definitely recommend CakePHP for your framework. As for an integrated forum try looking at the links in this post. If that doesn't work for you, try out Vanilla forums (vanillaforums.org) which are very clean and may be easier to integrate into CakePHP than some of the other PHP forums.
If you decide to use CakePHP, check out Cake Forge to see if you can find anything there to make your life even easier.
If you were to use Joomla, the upload functionality and letter production would be written as a custom component. You can write the component to make sure that the current user is authenticated before generating the documents. I would not develop this as a separate application alongside Joomla; it would be easier to write it as a component.
Many forums and forum bridges are available for Joomla, so that would be something you wouldn't have to write.
I'm not sure what kind of live event support you're looking for.
I'm trying to start building a whole application using phpBB3 user system as a base using CodeIgniter framework. However before starting I would like to hear a piece of advice from any phpBB3 Developer out there.
I've been developing for Wordpress and Drupal. But recently I decided I would build up something fit to my needs instead of using a premade application.
The application is going to include:
Article System
Video Streaming
Wiki
User editable Profiles
and much more
To any phpBB3 Developer :
Where to start?
Any recommendation you could give me?
Any tips?
I've only used phpBB3 as a forum system, but you should definitely check out the phpBB Development Wiki, particularly the API section.
It has all sorts of neat things, like how to add custom pages and use phpBB's permission system.
