I'm currently in the middle of the most advanced ASP project I have ever worked on, and was wondering if I can get any feedback on what anyone thinks about it so far (or suggestions for improvement later, etc.)

Basically, it will be a single core set of ASP files, that will allow anyone to set up a webpage in minutes by simply selecting a pre-developed site template, and pre-developed site plugins (a plug-in being anything from a menu, to a CC processing tool, etc.), so that user's can simply "manage" their site look/use rather than program everything over and over again. In the end there will even be an import to instantly convert any existing site.

Developers can build templates and plug-ins at will, and will be interchangeable on the site with the click of a link or button.

This project is planned to be open source but is still months away from completion, but to check out a sample of how it basically will work, we are currently testing it at http://www.asptree.com - http://www.asptree.com

Feel free to ask *any* questions

Gotta loose the phpbb. The mambo stuff threw me for a minute as well, But I like mambo. Have you done anything to doc the developers api?. I have a lot of pre-built stuff that I use as plugins to sites I do.

lmao, sorry about that guys, didn't realize that the post would throw that period into the URL and throw things off =\

As for the mambo part, the graphics artist that will be doing most of the templates early on for this has done quite a few for mambo in the past (his website is http://www.mambosolutions.com - www.mambosolutions.com ), thats why I left his link in there for now.  And as for the phpBB?  I have a number of other sites, and decided that wasting too much time on a message board was pointless if I already had a system up and working ;p

There is *minimal* documentation on the developer api atm since we are still doing a few core changes and whatnot, but the documentation is definitely not far off (anything you can view now is under the "Get Help" link, and we'll be adding more as time goes on).  Basically, each plugin is its own class w/ its own procedures / calls that gets copied into its own directory on the site.  There are a few standard procedures required (like one to process the output, and a few to return admin stuff), and everything else is customized to the plugin itself.

The content plug-in also allows for custom site scripting to do some fairly powerful things, even execute ASP code straight out of text (or htm) files, which is sort of like having dynamic include files in a way.

If anyone would like to be informed of any major changes for the site, think I might start up a mailing list (so feel free to PM me an email address), or just keep checking the sites forums for latest info (and feel free to participate, this is not a corporate project in the least, so we just have fun on them)

I've got a couple of mambo and phpbb sites as well. Just strange to drop in on a site about asp and find a phpbb board.

I'm curious as to what you've done w/ mambo already, got any links?

Still not quite ready for release, but our artist just added a half dozen or so new templates to select from.

 

Also note, using another message board for the site is being discussed ;)
