    Phabricator was probably the best example of a large, complex PHP application with a high level of code quality and adherence to modern standards. Unfortunately, the primary developer behind that project has recently moved on to other things.

    1 project | /r/azuredevops | 3 Jun 2021
    My company has used Phabricator, which is an alternative to Azure Devops, for about 5 years. A few days ago they announced that the project won't be maintained anymore, so we are looking into alternatives. We have around 50 devs+product folks that use Phabricator at the moment.

    - They was a lot of humor back then: https://secure.phabricator.com/T10000, https://secure.phabricator.com/T10054#151066, https://secure.phabricator.com/T6389

    For all this, thanks Evan, and others. It was a nice adventure. I will really miss this...

    ... but for me that was expected, the contributions shrinked, the core team went from 3 to 1. External contribution was also more and more difficult and while I understand the reason (reviewing and maintaining is more expensive than doing all yourself), it build a model that only depend on the willingness of one man. Also lack of proper integration with Gitlab/Github (Nuance https://secure.phabricator.com/T12739), sticking to an old, pre React area JS framework called Javelin did make the end inevitable. I did see the contribution decrease overtime(see https://github.com/phacility/phabricator/graphs/contributors). In the last years, Phabricator was just a ghost to me, sadly...

    I hopes that Evan is well, and the end of adventure is not to bitter.

    I think too much depends on Phabricator for it too end like that, and I'm looking forward to @20after4 or others to fork. Maybe it will have a second breath.

    Anyway, so long and thanks for the fish !

    While specific CMS platforms were not directly listed in the sources as explicitly supporting Behat, it’s widely known in the development community that Behat can be integrated with several PHP-based CMS platforms. Drupal and _WordPress _are notable examples of PHP CMSs that support Behat testing, thanks to their flexible architecture and the availability of various plugins or modules that facilitate integration with Behat.

    The Genshine Impact database site looks pretty custom, can't tell if there is any CMS involved. You could start with the tried and tested WordPress.

    Almost every host has one-click WordPress installs these days using either cPanel's WP Toolkit or Softaculous, so that should be a non-issue. You never have to visit wordpress.org if you go that route; the host is handling that for you. Watch Ferdy Korpershoek's videos on YouTube for tutorials on getting started with WordPress. Personally, I would not go with his hosting recommendations, however. I like iWebFusion, but there are other good recommendations over at /r/webhosting

  • I just received this in my email from patchman vulnerability scanner, should i be worried? I’ve never heard of patchman before.
    1 project | /r/Wordpress | 7 Dec 2023
    wordpress.org requires that user input should be sanitized and validated, and output should be escaped, to prevent mischief by bad actors. This mantra is embedded in current wordpress.org plugin guidelines. Unfortunately older plugins may not comply, leaving them vulnerable. They always were vulnerable, but what's changed is the light has been shone on the issue by Patchman and others. Publicly available code can be scanned by both good and bad actors to detect where malware can be injected.
