forum possible? #74

Closed haheute closed 10 years ago

haheute commented 10 years ago

Would it generally be possible to build a small forum with phile ? or would it make sense concerning performance and server load..... without a database... how could one save the forum entries? I think have read something about a possibility to store information. If not, i think we must include some kind of bbforum or flux forum...

Well there is no reason why it wouldn't be possible as Phile is quite flexible (see https://github.com/PhileCMS/phileRender). Although it would be a lot of work, including the fact that a clever way of structuring files has to be found. As of performances I don't really know but I think convincing if it's not a huge forum.

There is the default phileDataPersistence plugin, but I haven't used it.

You could read and write json or serialized data to a store. That would be a thread.

I think nothing is impossible :) But phile is a cms not a forum. my opinion is, that a software should do what it is made for. Do you need a CMS? Use Phile, TYPO3, or any other CMS. Do you need a Shop? Use magento.

If you want a forum, I would prefer a software which has the focus on it, e.g. like phpBB. A good overview of forum software you can find here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_forum_software

Although it is possible to make a forum, it seems to be highly advised against doing so. There might also be some PAAS (platforms as a service) that produce some quality forums with little to no work. Much like the Disqus commenting system.

So we will close this. Good luck @h82
