Need to write $1000 extensions

TheyCallMeTojo

I am on Discord, let's discuss this extension you need. I'm on there as "Nartamus"

Pirat

TheyCallMeTojo You do not have not one extension 🙁 I need someone with experience to make it quick or at least not slowly

Frink

Pirat Just because he doesn't have an extension made doesn't mean he doesn't know how to make one

TheyCallMeTojo

This is true. I have more than 10 years experience writing WordPress and Drupal plugins. I've been looking for a reason to write a Flarum extension.

Pirat

TheyCallMeTojo I understand, but I can't agree
10 years of experience on engines that are written in php is not that

TheyCallMeTojo

Pirat What? You realize Flarum is written in PHP right? I would have been more than qualified to write most any extension. Good luck with your venture, nonetheless. I assume the extension you need is for private use, or will be a premium at cost extension. I look forward in seeing what you have planned.

Pirat this was the rudest thing I have heard all day... Can't believe people sometimes

Pirat

TheyCallMeTojo Flarum is written in javascript almost all the code on it

Tirual

TheyCallMeTojo Can i get your discord, im interested in someone who can write extensions in flarum.

Pirat Front-end is mostly in Javascript but most of the back-end is in PHP.

Pirat

In any case, I think that new users will be difficult.
I know that this is second engine Toby, and he does it almost in javascript
Of course, I may be mistaken, but even my friend could not understand this engine and he programs in php

Pirat You made three points. Let's review them.

Pirat In any case, I think that new users will be difficult.

Fair point, it's quite difficult to trust a new developer but talking to him and figuring out stuff is also a way. If you still have doubts then it's your money and you can always deny after talk.

Pirat I know that this is second engine Toby, and he does it almost in javascript

Toby's first engine (as you say) was esoTalk which was also built on PHP. I don't know from where you are getting your facts.

Pirat but even my friend could not understand this engine and he programs in PHP

Just because your friend couldn't understand doesn't mean that you can judge other person's intellect correctly on this matter.

Look it's your money and you can hire anyone you like. But don't be rude to people who are trying to reach you. That's like the golden rule of community.

Pirat

gurjyot I just wrote right away so that the person would not waste time on me is not a rude act.

I've perused the source code of flarum myself and concluded that flarum is from another planet, code wise. I have hacked on phpbb, wordpress, and drupal, and written php code for about 10 years now, but i'm used to code being written in a lower level / low abstraction layer way. Anyone considering just jumping into a big flarum extension project should be certain that they can handle this style of code first.

I think pirat's objection is pretty valid, that he/she would want someone who is already experienced with flarum to take this job on.

At the same time, i think spending $1000 to write an extension for a software package that's in beta is unwise as it's likely the API will change again before the final version and break the code!
