mccode lite revamp

[mdshare]

Just polling who would be interested to revamp mccode lite.

If enough interest we can make it a open source project.

The revamp goal would be using the Woltlab Community Framework as core. WCF is Free unlike WBB.

Why WCF ?

Most functionality which is in games are available.

• cronjobs
  
• msgs module
  
• user signup/login
  
• style/template module
  
• user rankings (staff, members, etc even guest accounts wouldn't be a problem to give functionality)
  
• etc ...

Also, using WCF as core and have it as a open source package for it would open the market segment to millions of people using WCF for their sites, most allthough in combination with WBB.

Expanding to this market segment would blow new life in mccode kinda and get pretty fast a large community with mods (free/paid)

 

Why not SMF or phpBB, they don't have a standalone framework they are pure forum.

[Danny696]

A full revamp isn't just programmers alone danny , eg someone with eye for design aka creating a custom style (colour combos is something I've never been good at)

Translators, WCF has a build in language module.

etc

MD I dont have the time to help with any of the coding. But if you need graphics for the revamp just give me a shout.

It's just polling atm who would be interested, and if enough we can proceed

as it's a open source project there will be no deadlines so everyone can work on it and improve what's done

The benefit of using WCF is that it will be simply packages to add to the mccode.core module of wcf

so in theory there will be not much editing needed after awhile

I may be intrested but it depends on the amount of spair time I have over the coming months

I would try but this is going to be hard for me. I could try something but I don't know how it would work out. try coding it in coldfusion and see if you could try making it free or profitable. I know it would be hard but hey, it would be cool.

or you could try XML, XHTML, PHP, or HTML with php also with javascript, and css. that would be awesome out of that.

or you could try something like editing v2 since I bought the codes and still have the codes with me on my backup in case I lost my server with all my codes and see if you can revamp it. try something new like those nerds who discovered they can jump.

¿Que?

Same here @Bluedevil23, I have no clue what @gambino tries to say .... unless he thinks that WCF is a scripting language like PHP, HTML, etc ...

I made a new folder for this community effort and will start posting about it.

As it is a community project and using a existing framework we will have to follow rules also aka coding conventions.

Design help?!

Iam a designer myself, but i would love to help where it is needed :)

[Djkanna]

Sounds like an awesome idea but projects like revamps hardly ever stick.

I will help as much as I can :)

[srachit]

I like the idea :) but may I know what is Woltlab Community Framework. Srry I cant help out just toooooo dumb :P

[Karlos94]

Is there a copy of this framework, I'd like to see what I'll be using before I say I will help with this project.

[mdshare]

The framework is part of the wbb lite package, seperate download of WCF doesn't exist afaik.

Revamp is a wrong word choice, it's just to make people familiar with what they know (crime theme stuff) it's actually a project that has to be written from scratch. I'm busy on the core game script, once that is done should be easy to write modules (packages) for it and extend it to whatever theme there is. A crimes package could aswell be used on a space theme ... it's well like said making the community familiar with what they know.
