johnathanhebert Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Just wanted to introduce a newly opened PHP Framework called Helix that we have developed over the past 6 years. You can download it here from SourceForge. Helix is very easy to install -- just drop the helix folder in your webroot and go to the setup page. It comes with hundreds of pre-designed tables and relationships, as well as the classes that manipulate data in those tables, so you don't have to design the database. Every table/class is customizable, and there is also support for javascript frameworks (ExtJS by default), FlowPlayer for video streaming, Amazon Web Services, Authorize.net and PayPal, and much more. Give it a try and let us know what you think! Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/164247-introducing-the-helix-php-framework/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnathanhebert Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Why? I thought this topic was to discuss PHP Frameworks. What is the problem?

trq Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 The main problem I can see is that there is little to no documentation, your modules aren't named anything remotely useful and the description you have posted on this board sounds more like a CMS then a framework.

johnathanhebert Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Thanks for the feedback. Yes, the documentation is in progress, and it will have an explanation of all the modules. It is definitely a framework and not a CMS, even if the description made it sound that way. I will update when the documentation is more available...

fabrydesign Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 http://book.cakephp.org/ Is documentation. That's a PDF I really have no interest in reading.

Daniel0 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Uh... it took you 6 years to get a final product? No offense, but that's a damn long time. Do I have to wait 8 months for security patches as well?

allenskd Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Really, the time it doesn't bother me that much but using that thing seems more counterproductive. It's a frame, I think, but to build applications on top of it doesn't sound like a pretty idea. I look through the PDF and it looked more like a sales man talking. complex, weird named directory structures. have you heard of KISS?
