Debate Website Php Mysql
We are looking to build a new website proposing 2-sided debates, very similar to Create Debate dot com but not the exact clone of it, just inspired by some functions and some graphical stats for votes but not necessarily all of them. Only 2-sided debates and votings, no contests, no debate communities; just all tools we need to build an online community around debating and voting but with an advanced system of voting, scoring and rewarding depending of each one’s participation in proposed debates.
This project is really 100% pure PHP and Ajax coding, we will provide all graphical elements, even the smallest ones like arrows, dots, etc.
The website itself would be rather uncomplex and except the registration process, the process of creation of each new debate and process of adding new arguments and comments to each debate you have to develop only couple of unique templates like:
- main debate view,
- individual profile view for each member,
- list of debates depending of different search options,
- list of members profiles depending of different search options,
and some outputs with different stats from Google API.
You can code everything from the scratch but we would like you to use some important elements from our another website:
- the same graphical chart,
- the same CSS sheet which is our own creation,
- the same multipurpose contact forms,
- the same system of registration process and auth cookie names as in other website just to let our existing members to participate into new debates website without any additional registration.
- the same very basical internal messaging system because you have to accept if another member asks you to become your ally and also you can invite some members by mail to participate in new debates; you can see it in action on Create Debate.
Everything should be coded in PHP5 using MySQL and Ajax when necessary to move some comments up and down on the same page without refreshing, for graphical stats and meters Google Chart API should be used until you have better solution; the charset to be used should be UTF-8. Smarty templates could be also widely used until you have better solution, otherwise the use of CSS is the must as well as checking for banned words before posting and some obvious SEO requirements like url or each page title rewritings accordingly to the main subject of each debate or voting.
As this website is NOT going to be runned in English, we don’t care at all about any content redaction or descriptions but we need to use only a separate language file for all messages, registration instructions and menu or fonctions labels in view to be able to switch to any language very smoothly without reviewing each line of code later. Basically all menu labels qnd other instructions should be developed in English but only very summarly without any wasting of time on your side.
The creation of an administration panel would be a plus but finally it’s not really absolutely necessary as we manage our databases mostly from Webmin and we don’t need some unnecessary gimmicks for administration. Let’s say that if you bid, the administratiton panel will be included but only very basical and limited to the maximum of 4-5 functions like removing quickly some spam debates or ban some users from the listing.
However on the other side we will need to supply all users with basical functions to complete or edit their account and upload or change their main picture/avatar. Concerning this function we can provide our own secured system for images uploading to the server.
Your code should be produced with security in mind; anti hack, MySQL injection proof and anti doss.
On the other side we DON’T need any kind of banners, ads or advertisement systems.
After accepting your bid we will provide you an access to our webserver in view to simplify the use or reuse of all existing assets mentioned above and also to make an initial setup and test the new website in our own environment.
We are looking for serious but flexible programmers able to develop a friendly and trustworthy relation; we have never outsourced any bigger projects before but if successful we could launch some other similar projects together. We request a good level of written English for our communication as we are going to communicate rather by e-mail then by any messengers, however we can also communicate in French. We are very reactive small team and can communicate 7×7 from about 7:00 am EST to about 10:00 pm EST.
This is relatively urgent project because we would like to release everything online within about 2-3 weeks from now so before Christmas and this time frame should be respected.
We are not going to choose straight off the lowest bid, we are looking rather for very reasonably priced offer mixed with a minimum of programming experience and security oriented background. Please don’t bid if you can not deliver the final code before Christmas and if you don’t have absolutely any positive feedback on Scriptlance from other webmasters or serious portfolio.
Thanks in advance for your time, please feel free to contact us anytime with any questions or suggestions before bidding.
