Category Forum System

Recommended Posts

Hey there, so as a personal project, I've been working on creating a forum software. You can check out what I have so far here: https://www.taziamoma.com/Forum/index.php

What I'm currently having trouble with right now is connecting a Category with a forum with the threads inside of it. For example, I have a Category that has 3 forums attached to it. How do I link that in the database and how do I indicate which threads belongs to which forums?

Not sure I would call a registration and login system less complex than threads and posts, but I guess it depends...

I suggest you take a look at MariaDB's knowledge base section on database theory.

Well only reason its less complicated to me is simply because I've done it so many times :P. I'll take a look at that.

 

So my other idea was to create a tuple relating to each individual table. For example, for each forum, create a forum_cat attribute to define which category it belongs to. Same with topics/replies.
