Been there, done that. It sucks. It does not match my artistic vision.
1) Hits and Faves are tied into the content table...why on god's green
earth should I change the last modified date for content every time a
hit happens? Hits can be tracked separately. And because of this data
being in the content table, I must accept the performance hit of a
truly massive join just to update the hitcount. I truly don't care
about the security of the hit counter, let it make some false positive
registers...that's better than making it so one has to either accept
loss of page cache, or no hit counter.
2) Linking content to other extensions is ugly.
2a)You have to store an entry in the database, tied to the content id,
for every extension which wants to be called when a content item is
viewed/edited/saved. Why? Joomla has a plugin system for a REASON.
Just dispatch the message "content item id loaded" and let plugins
alter/add as needed.
2b)When last I looked, it only accepted components as extensions which
can modify things...it was hardcoded to load the class/object from a
component. Again, use a plugin system and let the plugin decide where
to gets it's classes from.
3) It doesn't actually store the content in the content table.
Instead it stores the content, plus a bunch of json encoded data,
which must now be decoded and stitched back together again to actually
view the article. It's murder on searches having to load EVERY
content item, decode the JSON, just to check your own flag. Generate
once, store in body field for content...index body field for content
-one place to search and it can be done from the database OR from PHP.
Opinionated? Me? I did say it was artistic didn't I?
