BrightSwitch Project

Hey all,

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that there is a new tracker being actively developed over at /trunk ? BrightSwitch - Trac

I've currently not come up with a name for the project, I was going by iTracker but that's just way to common of the name. Anyways this tracker is developed in PHP using PHP5 and is a very OOP based tracker, with lots of room to expand, it's well documented and is build using a very strict MCV design pattern.

Also this tracker has a fresh web 2.0ish style about it and is very easy to theme (thanks to the MVC design). While is not released to the public yet there are seenshots and even a screencast available for userse to view, I will be opening up a playgound soon for people to get a feel for the tracker and for me to hopefully get some feedback.

Hope to see you there.

Note: We are currently looking for another developer or two to help with progress on this tracker.
If you are interested please contact tk on the forums located at http://binslashbash.org

Thanks.

Beta v1.0 revision 32
--------------------------------------

BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE! READ THIS!

Know that this software is VERY EARLY BETA!

I 100% guarantee that some things will not work.
As of right now I don't want bug reports, or people telling me this is not work etc...
I am WELL AWARE of what's working and what's not.

--------------

Now with that out of the way the real reason I've released this is because I know people
are chomping at the bit to see this software, it's being worked on almost every day,
but keep in mind this is a project I do FREE and IN MY SPARE TIME! What does that mean?
It means things are going to move super fast, also I'm currently the ONLY developer
on this project.

--------------

Below are some rough (ok very rough) installation notes as the software installer is not yet built.

1) Create a mysql database

2) Look in the mysql/ directory of the version you just checked out

3) Dump (or upload) that .sql file to your created database
(mysql -u username -p -D database_name < file_name.sql)

4) Edit the following files:
./alpha/BrightSwitch/application/config/config.php
./alpha/BrightSwitch/application/config/database.php

5) Go to: http://www.yoursite.com/ and login. (Username: admin Password: brightadmin)

6) Enter the "Administration Panel" and click "User Manager"

7) Find the admin user and click on "Edit User" once there change the password!

That should be all

It looks great, its good to see trackers build from the ground up
Good Luck ! :friend:

Attachment 799

Just a few updates, we now have a name "BrightSwitch" is what our tracker is now called. Also we have moved locations.

Forums are now located at http://www.brightswitch.org Looking forward to seeing you there!

just registered to your site I'm glad for somebody to actually is trying to build a whole new system from scratch
I agree TBdev is not nicely built and has just too many bugs

BrightSwtich Updates

Development has continued on BrightSwtich and things are coming along nicely, I've posted a new screencast for those of you who are interested, I've revamped the look as well as a few function modifications etc... I'm really going for a lean, clean, simple tracker.

http://www.brightswitch.org/showthread.php?t=16

I too registered to your site and i must say that this sounds interesting.
What kinda forums is this source be using? :)

the source will be compatable with the following,

vbulletin, phpbb3, PunBB for now, thinking about adding in IPB support.

Bump: We've finally got a public SVN open with a very early release so work its being updated daily. Hooraaa!

the svn version released here svn://brightswitch.org/brightswitch/alpha

BOO @ OOP .. do u know what OOP spells backwards ??

lol sorry i hate OOP can't ya tell :P .. Always good to see new sources... I just hope you make it easy to install new mods or add more mods than any n00b could ever need since OOP is a pain in the rear end.

Can i just ask why did you go with OOP over functional PHP programming?

thanks a lot any demo?

DEMO is here: BrightSwitch Beta V1.0

DEMO Account :

username=test
pass=password

Serious? I bet you would be hard pressed to find a quality source of, well... almost anything that's not OOP.

OOP offer organization far beyond anything non-OOP offers, and ability to create objects dynamically on a per users bases, well that just speaks for itself.

Don't even get my started on why encapsulation is your friend. IMO every web project should be separating implementation from the interface for about 100000000 security reasons, along with other things.

Code reuse is just good for everyone (why reinvent the wheel its about as good as its goona get)

Conclusion: Why oop? Organization, Security, Cleanliness, Usability, Scalability and more importantly because I can!

Nice work, a different aproach, very stylish. Will test it.
Thank you for sharing.

thank you a lot!!!
when will the first definitive version be ready?

When it's done, not a second later or a second before.

BrightSwitch IRC Channel

The BrightSwitch tracker project now has a live IRC chat! We encourage people to come join us and talk directly with the developers and other people involved with the project, get support etc... all in realtime.

IRC Server:
Server: irc.binslashbash.org
Ports: 6660 - 6669 5550 - 5559(SSL)
Channel: #brightswitch

Hope to see you there, and looking forward to chatting with everyone!

very very very nice work... i like this... is this goung to be able to be supported on a windows server? and is this supportable (it appears to me) in a sub directory... I have it Installed on my home local host as a test and to see the "ease" of installment and wow... it was simple.. very clean coding.... i only wish i knew about php a little more to help you out....

1) Yes this should work on a windows platform.
2) BrightSwitch does NOT care where it is put in in 12 sub directories if you like you can even break the BrightSwitch folder away from the others so it could look like

/ - root
|- /some_stuff
|- /brightswitch
|- /more_stuff
|- /BrightSwitch

I have no idea why you would want to do this but you could if you liked.

I couldnt comment @blog so i ll put it here.
I installed BS local and its great all over. Excellent work. If its in your thought making a search system like demonoid's it would blow away many other tracker sources.

Database Error Occurred

Code:

A Database Error Occurred



Error Number: 1146



Table 'demo.rules' doesn't exist



SELECT * FROM (`rules`) ORDER BY `rule_order` asc

index.php is missing

what are the changes beetween the revision 30 and 32??

Look at:

Changeset 31 for trunk BrightSwitch Project
Changeset 32 for trunk BrightSwitch Project

Anyhow; I have myself started to build further on this code, as the original developer hasn't done anything in months.

Look at trunk BrightSwitch - Trac

Checkout svn at: Revision 12: /trunk

Mostly just some fixes and updated the codeiginiter framework to 1.7.1. New features coming soon. PHP5+ only.

Profile and Rules page are missing.
Why?

if you right looking, then you see, that the table "rules" fail in your database.:fire:

Code:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `rules` (

  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,

  `rule_order` int(11) NOT NULL,

  `rule_data` text NOT NULL,

  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)

) ;

little fixes:

for rules problem, add in database:

Code:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `rules` (

  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,

  `rule_order` int(11) NOT NULL,

  `rule_data` text NOT NULL,

  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)

) ;

for profile display problem:

Code:

ALTER TABLE users ADD avatar VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT '';

for news display problem:
edit file ./Brightswitch/application/models/news_model.php

and add in line 57 the missing entry

Code:

news.user_added,

as example must see:

Code:

public function get_news() 

    { 

        $this->db->select('news.id, news.news_title, news.news_content, news.date_added, news.user_added, users.username') 

                 ->join('users', 'users.id = news.user_added') 

                 ->order_by('news.id', 'desc'); 

         

        $query = $this->db->get('news');

. . .

Is this still in active development?

I'm working on a torrent site, and the skin alone really caught my eye.

the source is dead and never made it out of beta. if you want it to work you will have to fix it yourself!

hi

One question. Is the project end for good?

Because if it is i would like to continue it, of course publishment would be here on the forum, and on mine

If not or the developers wont agree np, just asking, because this source is something what we shoudnt let die
