Hello

I have a question that is probably best answered by Jordan

I am currently taking a course in website development (at the moment learning PHP and MySQL intergration) and am wondering what CMS GTPlanet is using (or a custom made one)?

I've been wondering for a while, but curiosity finally got the better of me. I guess it uses MySQL for a database, probably using MyISAM (figured this out because to use the search function you must have 4 or more characters).

Thanks in advance for reading, and perhaps responding
 
I found this but it's about GTP8 from 2006! It could well have changed for all I know but this, at least, is how one of the incarnations was designed.

The new design is written in valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional code for maximum flexibility, accessibility, and speed. Fellow web designers will appreciate a heavily CSS-based design, and the new layout on the main site was created without the use of tables.

GTPlanet runs on three several platforms which could be considered content management systems. The blog runs WordPress, the forums are powered by vBulletin 3.8, the Guides are powered by MediaWiki (hence the reason that section of the site is so terrible), and the Feedback Forum is powered by UserVoice.

With the exception of UserVoice, which is a hosted service, all of the software is powered by PHP (accelerated by XCache) and MySQL, which is part of a traditional LAMP stack running a modified version of CentOS. As you guessed, all of the databases employ the MyISAM storage engine.

That said, there will be some significant changes to the site's infrastructure - including new hardware - in the coming weeks, so a few of my answers above will be changing soon. :)
 
Thanks very much!

It's good to look into great applications to the technologies I'm being taught. Looking forward to the cnages you mentioned too.

Thanks :cheers:
