What are the pros and cons of moving Frog over from the proprietary framework to CodeIgniter? Any thoughts?

because frog use a framework this mean he have to be a “more popular framework”, cause the framework of Frog is open like frog !!

I use my framework cause I use it all the time and I know it well ;)

I use my framework cause he is really really lite

I use my framework simply because I like to use my framework :)

I understand your view Philippe. I just think it might expand the Frog community to the CodeIgniter community, and also make it easier to develop plugins.

I’m personally not in favor of using CodeIgniter. Frog’s own framework seems both faster and more flexible.

NO!

CodeIgniter may be fast. But the code is nasty PHP4 and the OOP are poor.

Actually… a couple of initial tests I did and remarks from Philippe lead me to believe that CodeIgniter might actually be slower than Frog’s framework. :-)

Don’t forget that Frog is currently 100% dynamic. There’s no caching at all… if I get response from the guy that used memcached with Frog, we might be able to integrate that. He suggested performance improvements as high as 352%.

I know nothing about CodeIgniter and I don’t use Frog CMS but still I use the frog framework for projects where I need superior performance and lower response times (otherwise, I use Zend, which has tons of excellent controller and view features but is not as fast as frog at dispatching actions). For this purpose I also repackaged the classes so they comply with Pear/Zend naming conventions.
In case anyone has an interest in it, it’s available at svn://sd-14043.dedibox.fr/frog .

I think it’s really cool to have a fast and lightweight alternative. I’ve been told that pluff framework is fast too and has a nice orm.

@desfrenes – interesting to hear of how you are using Framework — but I think the link is not quite right. Could you check it and fix? Many thanks!

weird… I guess it’s been modified by the system. It’s at svn://sd-14043.dedibox.fr/frog
Also other classes I use as well, along with frog : svn://sd-14043.dedibox.fr/md
As an example, this is powered by frog (and PHPDoctrine for the model) : http://www.nuchoon.com

I really don’t have an opinion on the frog framework because i don’t really know it (yet)
But when i see CodeIgniter mentioned i want to point you to the Kohanaphp framework. This was originally a fork of Code Igniter but current version have a completely new codebase, PHP5 OOP. It’s pretty neat, although development moves a little bit to quickly in my opinion.
