Creating a forum using PHP & Mysql

Post by Sparkky »

I have taken a study project in which i have to create a web forum. That should look and work pretty much like this one.

A user must register first to be a member. Members can add friends, and share private and public messages with each other. The web site will also provide email feature for members. Extensive searching feature will allow members to search for members, topics, forums. Searching feature will include filters/advanced search options. The application will also provide members, the features to create photo albums to upload pictures and set access rights. Owner and Moderator will handle the management of forums/topics/members.

First phase is to develop a use case diagram for the whole scenario which is a part of SRS document..... so any help?? Or send me source code and documentation of this forum.....that would be a great help!!!

http://php.opensourcecms.com/ - on the right hand side click on forums

http://sourceforge.net - filter on language = PHP, then search for "forums"

Check the licences carefully, download some hopeful looking ones, look through the code, and take ideas.

Design and Coding will come later. First thing is to create a use case diagram which should show USER, MODERATOR & SYSTEM and the processes and use case scenarios between them. UML tool can be useful.
