The Tempus Project

Rapid Prototyping Framework

Developer(s): Joey Kimsey

The aim of this project is to provide a simple and stable platform from which to easily add functionality. The goal being the ability to quickly build and test new projects with a lightweight ecosystem to help.

Notice: This code is in still not production ready. This framework is provided as is, use at your own risk. I am working very hard to ensure the system is safe and reliable enough for me to endorse its widespread use. Unfortunately, it still needs a lot of QA and improvements.

Features

• A Plugin system that allows plug-and-play functionality
• A User management system
  • groups
  • permissions
  • preferences
  • registration and recovery (All Controlled dynamically via our plugin interface)
• Compatibility with both Apache and NGINX
• Built with Bootstrap with a focus on mobile compatibility
• Incredibly easy to set-up, deploy, and develop

Installation

Preferred method for installation is using composer. Special attention has been given to use without composer and more information is included below.

Composer

The simplest method to start a new project is to use composer to create a new project and automatically clone all the necessary files:

composer create-project thetempusproject/thetempusproject test-app

1. Clone the directory to wherever you want to install the framework.
2. Open your terminal to the directory you previously cloned the repository.
3. Install using composer: php composer.phar install
4. Open your browser and navigate to install.php (it will be in the root directory of your installation)
5. When prompted, complete the forms and complete the process.

Manually

Docker

Apache

NGINX

Docker-Compose

If you have any trouble with the installation, you can check out our FAQ page on the wiki for answers to common issues.

Please continue to use composer update to get the latest development releases.

Do not forget to remove install.php once you have finished installation!

Currently being developed

• Adding documentation
• Unit tests

Future updates

• Expansion of PDO to allow different database types
• Update installer to account for updates.
• Implement uniformity in terms of error reporting, exceptions, logging.
• The templating system has gotten too large and needs to be split into its own repo

TTP ToDo:

need to integrate new plugins for some moved features canary comments members messages Split inbox and outbox apart split messages from usercp redirects

need to make sure all 'use ' statements are updated to new repo names

namespace TempusDebugger; => namespace TheTempusProject\Canary;
namespace TheTempusProject\Houdini; => namespace TheTempusProject\houdini;
namespace TheTempusProject/TempusTool; => namespace TheTempusProject\Overwatch;

need a mechanism for handeling config/constants.php in each plugin migrate all 'secondary' constants (constants not used in the default execution of the application) to plugin folders

Perform final F & R for: "tpc"

need better handeling around blog filters like month and day

split profile from usercp

need a way to secure the api need a standard way to do apis need a way to show parts conditionally like {@if} need if else elseif need a way to show something conditionally if a plugin is enabled like {@enabled:comments} {comments} {@enabled}

https://css-tricks.com/drag-and-drop-file-uploading/

https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2018/01/drag-drop-file-uploader-vanilla-js/

need to merge both autoloaders into the same one under bin need to be able to install multiple database tables for the same plugin

rename default.js and .css to main.js/css fix where i moved those to the app/css and app/js folders

make a new template repo/dependency make a new Debug repo/dependency Fix the plugin fix the console logger

add the ability to include js files add the ability to include css files as needed

chat should include a config for the refresh timer

and better error handeling for models and plugins need to make a singular list function to remove or combine these: listGroupsSimple listPosts

i need to move everything moderator relateed to comments i also need to make sure that moderators can actually moderate

the get form html thing should work perfectly with the database array to create hella simple to generate forms for anything

we are not doing anything with requiredPlugins

comments and blog are being manually added in the admin dashboard, this could be a problem when they are disabled

removed from blog filter commentCount

need to address the error handler just failing to work

and the exception handler picking up random errors

need to revisit all of the form checking and make sure it is apparent to the user when and how they mess something up.

many pages are missing descriptions, need to add them

https://jsonapi.org/format/

need a way for the template system to: switch between the meta-header content types for the sharing info xlarge large etc need better checking around title, meta-image, and descriptions prevent accidently feeding bad images or text to these fields need to manages js and css includes better, and incorperate it into templating system

the get timezone getdate gettime format functions all need to be migrated to app, stored as static vars and refactored in core, am i using htaccess.html or nginx.html anywhere, if not, change them to .example Routes -> getHost is using a terrible conditional for docker hosts, need to improve Need to test all the filters for the editor stuff need the ability for the autoloader to accept specific file name associations needs a require_all need to re-namespace all classes and functions some classes need to be converted to non-static some functions need to be converted to more static run from the command line

initiated // is in so many controllers, i def want this removed initialized tempus_project.php test running commands from cli if we move install.php to the bin, it will be unaccessible to the web server?? if its unaccessible except theough the index.php router, we don't need to delete it because its unaccessible again can i use submodules? errors should be able to be customized if its in the app should add more logging, esp for admin actions need to add self::$pageDescription to many pages man, messages is hot garbage, def needs a rework need a mechanism to add listeners and events ability to restore backups of perms prefs and configs if your controller has no index method, you're just SOL a blank page is called and no method is loaded Warns should be for failed checks add a check for having write access to the config folder and the uploads folder and whatever is going to be needed to the plugin downloading

some configs have been removed and need to be accounted for
Unused:
---------------------------
Config::getValue('bugReports/sendEmail')
Config::getValue('bugReports/emailTemplate')
Config::getValue('feedback/sendEmail')
Config::getValue('feedback/emailTemplate')
Config::getValue('uploads/files')
Config::getValue('uploads/images')
Config::getValue('uploads/maxFileSize')

after all changes are pushed up and available, docker needs to be tested and updated when using composer, the composer page is populated and correct

the config step of install should be checking the db creds

// need to make notes of other standards as i go to update the contributing document // need to cross refrence the configs from core and ttp // ensure the resources folder is current // document, fix, and remove @TODO's where possible Search for cuss words, they make you look stupid fuck shit dam damm damn god ass cunt bitch ffs wtf

had to remove the tracking pixel that was to be used with the contacts form, this will need to be re- added in a future update had to remove the rest controller, its currently just unused

// this can be used for the tempus project composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app

namespace TempusDebugger; => namespace TheTempusProject\Canary;

need to make sure a template loader can be called and still use the default template file, IE always add these CSS or JS resources.

discord bot that shares updates on your party from the site maybe a summary after each session warning that time is coming up changes made to anything D&D news

is it possible to store a campaigns state on the blockchain?

keeping this as a repository for podcasts would get more people to check it out same for youtube

people love sharing their resources, so make it EASY to find podcasts, and youtube channels, and etsy stores, and give people a place to share it with their groups

try and earn commisions from this and do featured XYZ every x days or weeks or whatever

have different "kinds" of dice to portray on the dice roll page

maybe spinners instead of conventional die

maybe weird health potions for D4's

What is my goal here?

I would like to play Dungeons and Dragons once a week with my friends. In an ideal world, I would DM this game and spend all week building tools for us to use that I then put on a website which sells memberships to other players so they can use the tools too.
