First Post

The Buy Local RPI project is making progress thanks to RCOS and Sean O'Sullivan class of '85 and all of their support.

At our meeting last Wednesday on Jan 28 Ron, Mike, and myself decided to scrap Drupal and go for a complete rewrite of the site using PHP and MySQL on the backend. This will give us complete control over the database schema and website features.

Our old Drupal version is available for viewing here , but progress is not being made on it. We will update the public site when a working alpha is available.

My tasks this week are to write the following PHP classes: page, user, tracker, store, and products.

I have already drawn the database model and constructed the tables and their relationships.
