[Bootstrap] LiCMS [MySQLi, PHP]

Hello there,

LiCMS is a CMS I've been working on and its coded in PHP and MySQLi.
Its not finished, and the only reason I'm releasing it while its unfinished, is because I'm sick of the code. While working on this project, I learnt a lot more OOP, and realized I can do better, a lot better.

This CMS isn't worth much if its not finished.

How to set this up
Upload the files inside the folder "LiCMS"
Edit the config.php file in the Manage Folder
Import the sql "db.sql" to your database
And you're done.

Just had to release this so I can work on my next project which, hopefully, is going to be better.

I understand if you have no use for this project because its not finished, Just had to release this to put my full concentration on my new project.

Thanks!

I like the design........

Love it, very well designed.

This is just nice, good job!

Why do people keep coding and releasing things like this?
There's 100's and 100's of them, there all the same, they all do the same thing, all with the same theme.

It's bootstrap LOL

It says "based on bootstrap", which leads on that it uses a similar idea as bootstrap. But actually this is powered by bootstrap. I don't like the registration, and you have possible SQL injections.. But I've seen much worse. One would actually have to think for a second before injecting this. $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] simply fetches a piece of information from the client browser, and may be forged to cause a SQL injection. I'm not sure if PHP actually checks any integrity of that data before loading it into $_SERVER.. Also, another possible injection can slide passed your Core::secure method, as you are not using any good escaping techniques... So they say that if your SQL database is some encoding other than ASCII, then there are characters PHP will not see (PHP only looks in the ASCII dimension, and has issues with any non-ASCII unicode characters). So there's a bug which a hacker can get passed add_slashes or mysql_escape_string, and escape out of the SQL query and do some complicated injection there. Though it all depends on the database encoding whether or not this will have an effect. But the attack is out there and well documented, don't ask me- I don't remember all this shit.. PHP sucks.

Anyway, um... I could be wrong on my facts, but there's some problem with add_slashes, PHP strings being ASCII C strings, and MySQL allowing several encodings.

As far as the OOP goes... It's not really object oriented. it uses objects, but is oriented around procedural logic- such as including procedural code inside of methods.. I mean, this could be much better implemented. I would consider it a passable procedural design for a beginner, though. Practice makes perfect.

Well designed :)
I think i'm gonna work on it and see if i can fix it up a bit more.

To everyone saying "well designed". It looks just as generic as every other backend system designer, making use of Bootstrap as to aceelerate their front end developement. Ew.

correct. ppl release CMS by CMS ._.

I understand what you mean. This was my first project. I screwed up.
I only released this because I've started something new, and I can't concentrate 100% on it as I keep wanting to fix this.

@s-p-n, Thanks for some actual feedback,
I understand this isn't Object Oriented, I can assure you I have a better idea of OOP now.
As for the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] I don't understand what you mean.
+ Taken care of my strings on the new project.

seems most ppl want to release their first creations to improve their motivation, but at the end nobody uses it. see ive programmed a base model for a working windows server and client chat programm via tcp and even via http connection endpoints. its pretty neat and i could do alot of more out of it. the point is, for what? i see tons of better programs on the market, so i program it just to learn, to see it works is enough motivation for me.

in my eyes, releasing anything makes only sense if the software provides something unique, something new that has not been seen. at the end everybody is free to release what ever he/she wants ofc, but this is your "first project". so it wont be well written in any case, programming isnt just a process to do and the result is fine to share. programming means to build stable optimal software, bug and exception free, layer oriented, object oriented, such practice costs alot of time to learn first.

in the moment ppl release things they mostly forget the responsibility, and php is the perfect seed for backdoors.
but feel free to do what u think of, just my two cents. :)

Nice release but your missing something in memheader.php as I get this error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in C:\xampp\htdocs\test\assets\memheader.php on line 86

Just looked at the file, the only line which might throw an error would be

Quote:

---

<li><a onclick="pageTracker._link(this.href); return false;" href="<?php echo($_CONFIG['site']['url'] . "/members.php");?>">Members</a></li>

---

if the php tag isn't closed or something

How would that throw a error, unless $_CONFIG['site']['url'] don't exist.

Can you re-upload the link or some pics please?

Might just be an issue for me, however, the link that is provided for the demo is not working.

People think they're cool because they use it, and call others faggots for not using it.

OT: Fix the demo link?

oh cr4p. Sorry I've been inactive on Ragezone for a while. I'll post some pictures in a few hours at the most.


Edit: Screenshots are now up.

Seriously guys?

"Well designed"

C'mon !

Everyone can design well now.

You need more skill to code with bootstrap. ;)

Why not?
Really ... everyone thinks: Just because you use a other, not good known DB-Engine (like PDO ect.) you're a
better coder. You're not! MySQLi is good and easy. You can do the same things with mysqli what you can do with PDO, too.
I don't understand you people who saying "people still use that?". Of course they use it, because its good and you can manage your database, what is the target.

so far

All MySQLi does is make it so your sql fucks up more often.

Definitely not ... If you know MySQLi and know how to use it, it won't fucks up your sql ... You just have no idea. Maybe the prepared statements are little bit better and you can use PDO for 12 other database drivers, but if you're using MySQL, MySQLi is as good as PDO ...

so far

First of all, I never said he had to use PDO or if I was any better.

I am going to say one thing about mysqli;
MULTI QUERIES


oh ps.
It has become unsecure.

You obvisously don't know how the engine itself works except for the functions you call in php.

You have to know a littlleeeee html. and know how to read documentation.

1. Learning PDO although I don't mind MySQLi too much tbh.

2. I used bootstrap because this project was more of a thing to help me practise MySQLi rather than spend more time on HTML/CSS.

3. I'm using numbering because I'm too lazy to put in quotes.

4. This project was ages ago. Stop flaming.

Why did you even update the screenshots then?
You're asking for more opinions.
Flame is to be expected.

Besides;
Most of it is not flaming, they're just telling you to improve.

I'm not flaming, I am still learning the basics of bootstrap, personally, I have no issue with MySQLi, it's fine to use, really doesn't make a difference, it's a good project overall, thank you for sharing.
