Clearly I am thinking about a truly minimal one, here: - urls handling - a basic architecture for controllers - php templates - ego-free - hype-free - does nothing beyond MVC Nothing spectacular; I am after something that is more an alternative to vanilla PHP than an alternative to other frameworks. text/html 2006-10-22T08:48:16+01:00 http://www.glorum.com mario http://www.glorum.com/view/47 I was thinking about this idea a little more. After having built my personal "lightweight" MVC framework (8,000 lines) and having used it on some mid-sized projects (including glorum), the idea of a truly essential MVC framework begins to show some appeal to me. With the development I typically do, most of the saving in web development effort I get from an MVC framework comes from the MVC architecture, not from the framework itself. The convenience of using an MVC architecture to me is text/html 2006-10-23T00:31:01+01:00 http://www.glorum.com stiian http://www.glorum.com/view/47 I've also got a need for a minimalistic mvc framework. This stage, the best I've came across was Code Igniter (www.codeigniter.com), but is still way too big. I basically need a GOOD "starting point" with base objects for models, views and controllers, then work from there and build on it using my own modules. text/html 2006-10-23T09:05:32+01:00 http://www.glorum.com mario http://www.glorum.com/view/47 Exactly what I am thinking about, stiian. Being able to cleanly build on it is the key. Something of that kind could maybe allow a small family of domain-specific frameworks and CMS with a common core to be developed. A pear-like library developing around a very light framework would be interesting, too. text/html 2006-11-01T04:52:13+01:00 http://www.glorum.com nano http://www.glorum.com/view/47 I will try to quickly put the idea into code in the next 3-4 days. glorum will host the project.
