Hi all.
Podcaster was a project that was developed during the summer semester of 19/20 for a class called SMI. The subject of this class is about architecture of websites, and the final project was develping a CMS that would allow the users to host / edit content. The theme for this CMS was music, and what i proposed was to develop a CMS to host podcasts.
None of this works now, because i just ended up shutting down the S3 account. Might have it hosted so you people can try it out.
It's hosted now! http://podcasterapp.dev/
Like all college projects, you are always given a set of requirements that you must follow. Some of them where:
- Use PHP, since this was part of class programme
- Use a database, preferably MariaDB
- Use an external service, either developed by the student with Servlets, or any third-party one
- Users, with a permissions system
- Backoffice for editing, add or remove content
- Front-office to display the content
(There are a couple of more that i can't remember now, but every requirement had a percentage of the final project grade)
So, keeping this short, the images were stored on the server disk while the audio is sent to an Amazon S3 bucket. The key of the file was then stored within the databse, and during the page generation, an authenticated s3 url is generated to serve the respective audio.
The emails were sent using a pre-configured Gmail account, with the PHPMailer Lib. The front-office is rendered with blade templates, and there is minimal javascript on this project. This uses Composer as a package manager
I have a detailed text on how this is working together, as part of the final written report for the project. It's in portuguese if you care to read, and it's the detail.pdf file. For that report, i had to do a couple of diagrams.
- klein router
- bladeOne
Because i had no time. I did try laravel, but the time was running out, i just went full panic mode, and did everything with raw php.
