[PHP] request for comments

2002-04-03 Thread Lee Doolan



the dynamic portion of the recently launched
www.affero.com has been implemented with php /
smarty / postgreSQL.  

the source can be downloaded here:
http://www.affero.org/source/latest.tar.gz

i would not call this a 'distribution' by any
stretch of the imagination.  for one thing, it will
not work out of the box since no credit card
processing code is included in the tarball.

i would be curious about any remarks, positive or
negative which anyone might have.

Really, you could have picked a different colour scheme, let alone a
different layout... usually when people rip something off, they try to hide
it, but you've just ripped.

Pffft, you even used the exact same search button, form layout and
everything... why on earth did you ask THIS LIST to give you feedback???

It's okay to borrow ideas from many sites to develop your own solution, but
this is not web design.  Hire a designer if you need design... don't just
rip something off.

As far as the site *IDEA* goes... I like it.


I probably don't need to tell you this is definitely a breach of copyright
and/or intellectual property.  There have been some big name sites and
designers put to shame in court over this sort of thing.


IMHO, back to the drawing board, come up with your own solution, or sack the
designer, who really didn't design.

Re: [PHP] request for comments

2002-04-03 Thread Dennis Moore

I assume you want comments on the functionality.   The first thing that
strikes me is why would I want to use the product.  I read the desciption
and followed the diagram on the home.  I then looked at the demo on
affero.net.  I quickly got lost on the purpose of the application and why I
should use it over a normal discussion list.  I missed the main point.



my 2 cents...
