Custom Software for Municipalities
I have been charged with investigation alternate software packages for use in our community. The one shown at this URL: http://www.granvillecounty.zpuser.com/ is an example of what I am referring to. This is the home URL for that software: http://zoneprosoftware.com/support/index.htm I work for a town in the county shown above. We are investigating the possibility of setting up something like this on the town's web site to assist our citizens in searching for information. This project has a one year lead-in time, so it is not particularly time sensitive at this moment. We are still in the preliminary stage. The system will undoubtedly be using Microsoft 2013 servers, although I could always get a FreeBSD server integrated into the system if I could find a viable piece of software to handle the job that the ZonePro software does. I have not been able to locate an open-source application that works in a similar manner. Perhaps someone might be familiar with one or has heard of one. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

This literally looks like a CRUD interface that could easily be rebuilt. PHPMyEdit, Dadabik, and others provide easy ways to produce these interfaces from database tables. For the record I wouldn't recommend Dadabik unless it does something specific that you need (postgres or sqlite support, I suppose). The developer is strange and doesn't understand open source licenses. A year or so ago I paid him $5 to get a copy of his program, received GPLv2 code, and then he got angry and started threatening me when I published it on github with some minor cleanup and translation fixes. He's since changed the license to something else. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I concur, whats posted looks like a joke... can be reproduced by any decent php dev in probably a few hours, and im sure theres plenty of engines open source already available ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: Custom Software for Municipalities
I've done better looking MVC framework websites using PHP Yii Framework, Perl Catalyst or Perl Mojolicious. It was a while ago, but I had no experience with MVC back then. It took me about a week to completely grok the frameworks and concepts (like authorization model abstraction). After you have knowledge of the framework, I would say it would take a day to make the simple CRUD layout that you see and then a week or two to polish it off. I would conservatively give a programmer a month to complete and polish a similar system, with all the database design, modifications to the views, models and controllers. It looks like the programmer might of been using ASP MVC, but I can't fully tell. I'd recommend you go with an open-source stack of FreeBSD, PostgreSQL Database and one of the Frameworks I mentioned above. I'd recommend Ruby on Rails if I knew more about it. I have no knowledge of Python MVC frameworks.
