Looking for a Web Development Platform/Framework
|

| Jeremy Fitz 2004-11-17, 8:58 pm |
| Hi,
I need to build a registration based web application. This would have
functionality for managing people/entities (logins, accounts, profiles),
roles/permissions, registration products (membership, events, etc.). I
imagine that there must be some libraries/application/framework that
implement the boilerplate functionality (e.g. sessions, accounts,
registration processes, payments/orders, etc.).
What doesn't fit the bill you ask? CMS (Content Management Systems) and
Portals - these are far to focussed for their purpose and not extensible
enough to the registration products.
Do you know of any libraries/application/framework that might fit the bill?
Any language is fine.
Thanks
J

Check out tikiwiki (sourceforge.net), maybe it's what you're after?

Could you be more precise? What is your web site about? What do you
sell/provide exactly? What can people do with registration? What options
do you want?

| This is a fully featured registration system that would support annual
membership event registration for a sport community (tournaments, teams,
individuals, etc.). Basically, the business logic is what complicates
matters as there would be a fair number of pre/post conditions to
registrations.
Entities in the system: clubs, teams, players, coaches, officials, contacts,
etc.
All registrations would require payment, and the a backend Administration
component is key.

Sounds like you've got a pretty complete features list, and all you need
to do is hire a programmer or three. Sounds like it's specialized
enough that it won't be out there for free, I'm afraid.
The good news, is that they can probably write it using all open-source
tools.

| Dave,
I don't doubt that I would need to do a significant amount of programming,
however am suprised that there isn't a platform that can be used to exploit
some of the boilerplate functionality.... specifically functionality common
to any registration system that has user profiles, membership, products to
register, etc which really has nothing to do with sports.

Right, so what did you think of the tikiwiki project at sourceforge?

| Dave,
I'm reading through the docs. It certainly has a lot of "groupware"
functionality, whose collaboration functionality I don't need. Given that
I'm not familliar with it, I am trying to figure out how easily it is to
extend. Then the question is whether its more work than doing from scratch.
It certainly has a lot of functionality I wouldn't need (essentially the
wikki)
Thoughts?

I've used it for a couple of folks, and the nice thing is that it's very
modular. Don't want the wiki? Disable it. Want to add, say, a poll?
No problem. Add that module in. I haven't used it for external apps
that act like they're within the tikiwiki, but it's supported.
The biggest hassle is getting the apache/php/mysql environment ready for
it. Once that's there, you're golden. Since you'll need that for
nearly anything anyway, it's a good half day or day worth of effort to
get something _very_ professional looking and configurable.

Yeah, I think it's late and I wish my pager would stop going off.
