RE: [PHP] What community software package gets your vote? PHPfox etc...
Hey party people. I have to say I’m a little surprised no hooting and hollering on this topic. I don’t think I heard a single positive comment which worries me. I’m jealous of myspace and facebook too but, someone has to have good news for one of these not so mainstream community appz.

There are lots out there and the free ones like PHP Nuke (perhaps the grand daddy of em all) have all suffered from security issues. The price is free (http://www.phpnuke.org), but the risk is that because hackers can get the same free source, they can identify weeknesses and exploit them, making themselves seem to be more clever than they really are (Hacking is an ego trip I think, and what seems like a shortcut to coding fame, in a world where hard work is considered for suckers). Many of the original really bad exploits have been resolved, but a few remain. Sites that allow anyone to register, and then post content, like comments on articles or actual articles, is a gold mine to SEO mavins, and you will find content being posted with comments containing site reference pointers to porn sites designed to improve search engine rankings of these same sites. If you don't want to deal with this, you want to stay away from community sites, or find some way to make the communities very private.

RE: [PHP] What community software package gets your vote? PHPfox etc...
Yeah, I noticed the trash talk as well with searching. I'm not a hardcore PHP programmer and it would take me more time to do it than we have. Deadline is in next couple of months. I think finding a package to start with is key. Basically, all the features phpfox has is what we're looking for. We're creating this to get for those of you who know, the Burning Man community more organized. I could see maybe a couple 100K users if done properly. We want to create a place for people to create camps or groups upload photos have a task list etc... -Original Message- From: Wolf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2008 12:25 AM To: TS Subject: RE: [PHP] What community software package gets your vote? PHPfox etc... One thing to do is google the package name and see what hits are returned... My search for phpfox returned a page of hits that was filled with trash talk of the software. One thing to consider is WHY the software is wanted. Is there a specific reason for the "community" software or can you build one that works for the company.. Also, does your current web package maybe have it as a plugin that just needs to be turned on?

How about Chisimba? http://avoir.uwc.ac.za It is free (GPL) and has all the features of PHPFox and more. --Paul All Email originating from UWC is covered by disclaimer http://www.uwc.ac.za/portal/public/portal_services/disclaimer.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Well security is an issue always IMHO. However, there's no full proof security. I'm hoping for the groups expertise while voting on this to consider all of these things of course. In other words, picking the lesser evil is where I'm stand with your previous question.

Do you care if it has a large number of publicly disclosed exploits in it's past? That'd be the first thing to come to (my) mind if I were about to put code someone else wrote on my web server. For example: http://search.securityfocus.com/swsearch?sbm=%2F&metaname=alldoc&query=phpfo x&x=0&y=0 Two exploits doesn't seem bad, but in what time span were they?
