New Start
Progress on the new site (rebuild) is going well so far. There still hare some things to sort out such as form submission within the basic MVC framework that the site will use.
The code is alot cleaner than before, also very simple and easy to add new features into it. Currently only the homepage works (no formatting) and view profile. The site also loads faster as well as less resource usage.
I also need to fix form submission security as well as sessions.
Still alot to do, back to the drawing board.
Dead End
The Project has reached a dead end.
The new approach which I started doing before simply just sucks, the code is distgusting although 10x better than what it previously was at one stage. To fix this I am halting the Project until I can think of a better way of doing it all, my thoughts are of using the Module View Controller Pattern [MVC]. From what i’ve seen though the site just wouldn’t fit into a pattern like that, instead i’d need to change it to fit the site more which is also quite complicated.
Recently over the past few days though i’ve been working on my own pattern which seems to function alot better and even with 1/2 the amount of code (also < 1/2 the memory is used for processing) but as with anything good i’ve hit some dead ends with it so back to the drawing board.
The Project could always continue just as it is but it isn’t exactly the best way to do things, in a sense it’d always remain incomplete just because of it’s structure whilst also using unnecessary memory for the processing of the page.
Also, the code lines would of easily been at 15,000, but how much of that isn’t needed.
