Dirpedia forum
Tuesday, October 7th, 2008
A couple of days ago I placed a new forum-like message system I’ve been working on at dirpedia.ro. At the moment it’s pretty much a basic “guestbook with categories” but there are some nice features such as dynamic permalink generated for each thread/forum based on its title. I’ve tried to keep AJAX to a minimum and focus on the core features. And because I normally throw another custom js function for every form I use (bad practice).
Behind the scene I made use of more OOP than my other PHP scripts. It’s really nice when everything works together and the code is not cluttered. On the other hand I miss all those little code hints displayed by Netbeans (in Java). Many times all the errors were dealt with even before compiling the project. Unfortunately Aptana lacks such features.
Just hope I validated all the data sent and don’t endup with a nice SQL injection
