# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:08 markstory they always start small and grow into an insane mess.
# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:08 markstory exactly :)
# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:07 markstory But you can paint yourself in a corner quickly.
# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:07 mdunham918_ which i know the projects always end up bigger than a "simple database app"
# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:07 markstory that might be true.
# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:07 mdunham918_ no they say for the projects they work out a few simple php files will do the trick don't need a huge framework
# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:07 markstory *the
# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:07 markstory But judging a framework by he number of files is not very smart though.
# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:07 mdunham918_ the designer has the strongest opinion and the half designer is the follower of the loudest guy lol then theres me
# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:06 markstory filez.
# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:06 markstory Take a look at zf or symfony2
# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:06 mdunham918_ he's our designer
# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:06 markstory they are crazy.
# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:06 mdunham918_ but that is there only complaint
# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:06 mdunham918_ and its not like they are all loaded
# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:06 mdunham918_ yes true
# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:03 markstory all frameworks have a lot of files though.
# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:03 markstory but that includes test files.
# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:03 markstory I'm counting 840 files in cake2.0
# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:01 markstory mdunham918_: I bet more than half the files in cake are test cases.
# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:01 markstory was reeetarded
# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:01 markstory c
# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:01 markstory that was 'controller' login
# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:01 markstory I worked on a code base that had a 3500 line switch statement
# Sep 22nd 2011, 02:00 mdunham918_ instead of controllers he used one big switch() statement hehe
# Sep 22nd 2011, 01:59 mdunham918_ i was like whateva he tried to write his own framework didn't turn out so well
# Sep 22nd 2011, 01:59 mdunham918_ they ran some terminal commands on a base cake baked project no customization and it contained something like 1200 files or something
# Sep 22nd 2011, 01:57 markstory doctrine is a fair bit more convoluted to get going for sure.
# Sep 22nd 2011, 01:57 markstory interesting, I've not heard that complaint about cake before.
# Sep 22nd 2011, 01:56 mdunham918_ yes directories and files
# Sep 22nd 2011, 01:56 mdunham918_ To be honest what I don't like about doctrine is the fact I tried it out couldn't figure it out in 2 hours so gave up and decided i didn't wanna play with it anymore :)
# Sep 22nd 2011, 01:56 markstory footprint? as in directory layout?
# Sep 22nd 2011, 01:56 mdunham918_ hmm the only complaint I ever here from people is the footprint cake has but i myself don't mind it. I think its a difference between a designer and a developer though. Me being a developer care less about directory structure.
# Sep 22nd 2011, 01:55 markstory why don't you like doctrine?
# Sep 22nd 2011, 01:55 markstory there isn't a formal list.
# Sep 22nd 2011, 01:54 mdunham918_ is there a list of things ppl don't like with them? I'd take them over Doctrine anyday
# Sep 22nd 2011, 01:54 markstory And trying to make changes that address those problems, and give some better separation to models.
# Sep 22nd 2011, 01:54 markstory I think we'll start with finding out what the pain points are with the current system.
# Sep 22nd 2011, 01:54 markstory I don't even have a clear idea of what I would do.
# Sep 22nd 2011, 01:53 mdunham918_ markstory: what would your propose i think models work great
# Sep 22nd 2011, 01:52 markstory probably, there is a fair bit of planning and discussing to do around changing models.
