doddsey_65 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 for those of you who don't know i am creating a piece of forum software called ASF. Ive done it by myself so far but as it grows i find it harder to write the code and keep organised. my code is a mess and things arent done the way they should be. So if anyone can give me advice or wants to help i could post some of the files for download. Even if you just want to have a look and let me know waht you think.

mike12255 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I was only able to take a quick look at it, but at first glance, I liked the looks of it. Im currently creating a website for my school for which I wanted to include a forum. If you are fine with it I would like to use this one and any modifications I make relay onto you? Good job so far with what you have done alone, impressive. if this is open source of course.

doddsey_65 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 well when you view the site everything looks fine, and for the most part the basic features all work. but looking over the code for mybb and phpbb im stumped. they do things alot better than me but i dont understand half of it. mainly because they all use oop and i dont. i just need to know how to do things better. i have no problems with you making modifications to it but as it stands i think i am going to have to start again and plan better(2nd time i will have to start again) or just abandon it and call it a day. its been going on since august last year now and i dont seem to be getting any better at it.

mike12255 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 If you do trash and start over again just know that it is not failure but progress. A lot of good projects went through many drafts and I encourage you to continue. Try using flowcharts to plan out your ideas before writing your code, if you dont already.

doddsey_65 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 the planning part is my problem. the first draft was a complete failure with no planning. so i started again thinking of all the planning i was going to do. but i did none and now im in the same mess. I think a fresh start is what i need. and plenty of planning.
