This is a web BBS system similar to phpBB and vBulletin. It's first version will have a flat structure for boards, future versions will have a hierarchy. This is a basic system to start and will grow in complexity over time. Initial goals are as follows:
- Login system with simple member/admin permission levels
- flat board structure
- simple admin interface
- no user control panel
The standard LAMP stack is being leveraged here. To manage the architecture of the application I am using the Laravel MVC framework. For the front end I am using Twitter Bootstrap which has a lot of nice features and is a great stepping stone for new projects.
I am Nick and I am writing this to keep my skills fresh and because I often spend a lot of time on the web posting on forums so I thought I would take a crack at making my own.
