Hi,
There are many sites explaining how to build new site etc but I'd like
to hear what You suggest. (about how to plan whole thing and how to
write separate parts which can be put together later)
I have build many small sites for myself(site to organise class assembly
which is like yearly convention..it has user administration etc) but
they all are anything else than OOP. But now, I need to help with
creating one bigger site which should be OOP. That site should include
user management(each user has it's own profile), each user can post job
and other adds in different categories. (there will be many categories
for example 'work,cars,training,apartments'.)
And users profile should show ads posted by himself.
Logic itself is simple:
1) unregistered user:
a) I go to site, I see categories (work offers, apartment offers,
training offers, etc)
b) I click on category I'm interested in
c) I see ad that I'm interested in
d) I click on it
c) I see detailed information about it(which company posted it etc)
d) at bottom page I see form where I can contact with ad author
2) registered user
a) I go to site
b) I log in, my profile page opens
c) there I can see ads posted by me..also I can see how many times ad
is viewed etc
d) i click on link 'Post new ad'
e) there i choose category and probably Ajax helps to load specific
fields(for example if I choose 'Cars' as category, then fields like
'year,transmission,color, etc' will appear.
That is short summary what that site should do. It seems quite big for
me so I'd be happy to hear any guidelines from people who have built big
sites.
Creating forms, posting data, user login etc, these things are not
problem... problem is: how to build the whole thing aimed to OOP and use
with Smarty to keep things organized.
I'm not sure but I have idea about what things I should do first:
1) think and write down any function that needs to be done(for example
different validations, functions for showing/posting form etc)
2) plan and create database?
3) create database class which handles database connection
But what next? Or am I starting all wrong?
Big thanks in advance,
Raido
