I would like to thanks everyone for all the feedback regarding The Future of FeedMalaya. Yes we are going GPL, at the moment we already have some draft plan to be executed but it will take some time, opening our source code alone will not make the developer community to improve the project.
What we need to do is build a solid foundation so that developers will improve the feature based on current foundation or base code instead of forking the project to another name. Don’t get me wrong, in GPL there no issue of forking one project into another but at the moment we still want FeedMalaya to grow instead just a name.
Some of you might have already come across FeedMalaya, a project that me and Mohd Huzairy did more than a year ago. It’s was a project that we did for fun and at the time the wasn’t any real business plan that we build from the project. So over this period of time we how far can a web application survive in term of performance, mind you the application is currently running on just a single shared hosting service under IPServerOne.com.

Yes, I have a problem with CodeIgniter built-in Form Validation Library, the lack of direct Regular Expression test/rule is a huge turn off for me especially when I need to use Regular Expression to as a rule to verify user input.

One of the drawback on CodeIgniter is the Scaffolding Class which is only suitable for testing or development stage. In order to do the same functionality you might find in other PHP Framework for CRUD you have to combine few available libraries in CodeIgniter including Table, Pagination, Form Validation and etc. All the libraries are great but you will end up having to write a long list of function and code to do still CRUD process.
To make the learning process much easier to understand I would actually try to convert CodeIgniter From Scratch: Day 5 – CRUD from Nettuts+ from using available libraries to Ext.CodeIgniter CRUD Library.
Requirements and Basic Informations
- is based and developed on CodeIgniter 1.7.1, it might work with previous version but please do test it out first.
- requires Table, Pagination, Form (Ext.CodeIgniter Library), Form Validation libraries and Form helper.
- callback can be optimized with Template Library for Ext.CodeIgniter.
- your model code can be minimized with ActiveRecord, you may require more works if using raw SQL.
