Pith 0.6.0.1

Working on App object and Config object. Using PHP-DI as container. Take a look at the GitHub repo. It's just a start but so far so good.

Pith 0.6.0.0

Getting started with the 2018 rewrite. Initial configuration done.

2018 Rewrite

I started working on this framework as a hobby project back in 2009 before entering the web development industry. It was a labor of love, and writing this framework gave me valuable experience that I was able to use on the job later.

Since that time, the framework has been left sitting here halfway-done as I hopped from job to job. A lot has changed in that time (especially in the PHP world) and I kept planning on returning to finish the framework, but never managed to muster the time and effort it required.

This year I'm going to begin rewriting Pith from scratch, incorporating everything I've learned in the industry since 2014, and (hopefully) turn it into a professional-grade framework that is easy-to-use and enjoyable to code with.

The new version will be designated as version 0.6 until it incorporates the full functionality of 0.5.

Several major updates to the database object.

Pith 0.5.3.0

Back working on Pith again, this release contains all the added features from this summer that hadn't been released yet. Pith 0.5.3.0 (alpha release 12) adds features to the user system, the admin panel, and the database object.

Major Changes in 0.5.3.0 :

• User Object - new object, for accessing data about the specific user that is currently logged in
• New section in the admin panel for viewing the user list and user data
• Unified fetch - The database's new fetch( ) function can now be used everywhere, including both normal queries and prepared queries, instead of the old fetch( ), fetchResults( ), and fetchRow( ) functions.

Current Issues :

• The filter object and user system expect all input to be in UTF-8, ASCII input still works fine of course but other formats will cause problems.
• Unable to edit files in the storage area of the admin panel.
• Links in the the admin panel that link to parts that haven't been created yet.
• Unable to delete form submissions from where you view them in the panel, have to use the storage area of the panel instead.
• The following areas of the panel are still not built: Pith Settings, Content Management, Admin Panel Settings

User System

Making progress on the user system for Pith, the next release will include a user session object and a user management area in the admin panel.

Switching Focus:

User Management System

Starting development on the User Management System. This will be accessible from the admin control panel.

• Search for username
• View user list by:
  • Date registered
  • Name (Alphanumeric)
  • Date last logged in
• A user info page for each user
  • Lists all info about the user
  • Ban / suspend user option
  • Delete user option
  • Password reset option

--- That's the plan anyway!
