Documentations

@RobiNN
I want to add my 2cents worth here even if it gets me kicked off the forum. I haven't done any forum searching myself so I'll say that first; though I have in the past for other things. Fusion9 is a really great CMS and has evolved/progressed tremendously fast. So much so that I think the average Joe/webmaster is at a loss especially if they grew up with ver 6 and 7. I have actually been wondering how to do this myself but the main point of my post is this. Is there anyplace in the docs where this is spelled out and if not (and I haven't looked for it), then it needs to be. Most webmasters are faced with ongoing 'host feature updates and changes' and absolutely cannot run ver7 anymore as it's not even supported. There is ver8 which is a nice stepping stone but eventually everyone that stays with Fusion will be forced to go to ve9. I personally am very pleased with ver9 and am struggling like a lot of people to learn it. I know RobiNN that you're pretty much a one man show around and I applaud you for what you have done here. Your knowledge of php and mysql is astounding. I guess this is my pitch for more comprehensive documentation.
I apologize in advance if I offend.

Thanks for responding so quickly RobiNN. I'll pursue this later with Chan or Falk or both.

Thank you, Chan and I actually worked day and night a few years to lay the fundation and set the path for v9, all in the open with Github and Public collaboration. Most of the community was not interested tbh. However it turned out really nice with a solid and modern CMS. Rob has done an amazing work to polish & improve for a long time.


This is why we took some of the early development from v9 and released v8. With v8 out and the general support for the older PHP and MySQL functions phased out on most hosts there are simply no point for us to keep support on v7. It all is explained in the release : https://www.php-fusion.co.uk/infusion...admore=624

As Rob mentions, anyone can and are free to help with the documentations.

@Falk
Thanks for the great feedback Falk. As for myself, there is no formal training in php/mysql that I can draw from. I learned everything by rote, along the way by doing and experimenting with code. I really feel that I have come a long way with understanding the code but I'm not sure that I'm qualified to make any significant contributions. Having said that I will make some effort to take a closer look at the docs on github and if there are areas that I see where I can help I will.
