Creating Forum Application Software Using Yii Framework

So far there is only a discussion of related issues and concepts of small examples of the use of Yii Framework in some case examples. I think it would be better if we learn how to build real applications with Yii Framework. I will discuss making the real application is the forum software application using Yii Framework. I will discuss the application itself is not a forum that is complex like a vBulletin forum software. I only discuss the basics of most forum applications can not be used to interface between a user with another user, each commenting on a thread, pass judgment on a thread, and others. If you are interested to develop it further, I think it is a good thing.

The following features of the application that we will create:

• Users can register and login
• If you have not logged in, everyone can see the forum but can not make a new post or make a comment on a post
• If you have successfully logged in, users can create new posts and add comments
• Each posts grouped by category
• The first page will show the top member, list user posts and news (news) posted by admin
• User consists of three levels, namely Admin, moderator, and the ordinary Member
• Admin and moderator can add, edit, and delete the "post"
• Admin and moderator can manage the "category" and "news"
• Users have to log in to make comments on a thread
• User can give reputation to other users
