Remember me... ¿

Hiya,

Not sure if anyone remembers me, but I used to be a Supermod on TBDev.net before it all went to shit. I am currently developing a completely new source code that might interest some people. However, considering the work that goes into it and the unlimited amount of adjustments you can perform, it won't be completely free (I am thinking about charging a small fee, like 10-15 euro). I just want to know if there would be any interest in it at all and if people would actually respect the amount of work that goes into it and wouldn't just buy one copy and then freely distribute it (although I am not that naive to think it would not happen at all! :P).

Project crankShaft:

crankShaft is a PHP/Smarty application. It allows for torrent indexing and stores data in a MySQL database. It features an extended CMS interface, SEO friendly URLs and (template) caching.

Obviously it is currently mainly being build for my own tracker, hence the motorsports and motorsports-related items/theme. But if I were to release the source code as a CMS for anyone else to use, it would be a lot more generic than what's shown on the screenshots.

It uses the Smarty-template engine, so php and html are seperated from eachother, theming is easy as cake and pretty much any novice can theme his/her torrent tracker (lots and lots of info and support to be found on the net as well). Multi-language, user-adjusted timezones, extended admin section and a shitload of features I am forgetting right now.

Is there any interest in such a thing and would you be willing to pay a small fee for it, without distributing it amongst peers as any other source (like the money-grabbing, code-stealing template-shares... yeah, I really said it!).

If there is no interest, no hard feelings. Maybe I can help out some people with their source codes as well. :)

Explain completely new source code. Do you mean never seen before and it is not based off of any other source code including TBDev.

That name is certainly a blast from the past I remember you and I used to use your previous source that you released, I seem to remember that is was probably the first one that I used?

I'd probably be interested as I like to have a look through what others have created as it's a good way to not only learn from but also to get ideas from too.

Maybe you could put a demo up somewhere so we could get a better look at it's features etc..

When I say new source code, I do not mean a rebuild existing code. I have been running my own source for probably three or four years now. My current version uses a custom template engine, but so many things have broken that I figured I might as well use an existing, well-developed template engine (Smarty).

It has been created from the ground up, unless you know of any other torrent tracker source that uses Smarty (because I certainly do not).

For example:

Template: http://pastebin.com/q3n7B5g4

It is still in it's early stages, but when I've got something of an alpha going on, I'll definitely get you guys a demo site. It is not meant to be a learning experience though, that's why I was asking if there would be any interest for having/running the source code for a small fee. ;) I am not talking about the prices that TS is asking for, that's a ridicilous amount that he is asking for stolen code.

.

BTManager uses templates but I use more tags.

EnzoF1 · #10 25th September 2013, 22:34

Yeah, but is it OOP-based and does it use Smarty¿ Like I said, my current code uses a template engine as well, but I wrote it myself and seriously limits what you can do with the site. There is no need to reinvent the wheel, Smarty has everything you want in a template engine and more.

I see that you are using tags, which honestly make no sense when using a template engine. The advantage of a template engine, is that php and html can be seperated from eachother. But to determine what your source does and how it works, I'd need to see the code.
