Fit Species

Goal

The goal of the project was to develop a corporate social network Fit Species for bodybuilders.

Registered users should be able to:

- Add other users to the friends list;

- Write messages to each other;

- Create groups/events;

- Subscribe to groups’/events’ news;

- Keep a list of competitions in which users have competed;

- Show items that the user sells in the Fit Bazar online store;

- The coach should be able to either find customers or to create account for new customers using a simplified form;

- Facebook registration/authorization;

- Edit profile;

- Search for users on the site;

- When users create posts, duplicate them on their own Facebook page and on Fit Species Facebook page.

Solution

Considering the complex structure of the site, we selected the most appropriate technology - Drupal Commons, which is built into CMS Drupal 7.

Integration with Fit Bazar online store was implemented on basis of CS-CART API.

Duplication of posts on Facebook pages was implemented through Facebook API.

For the development, we used the following modules and libraries: Panels, Views, WYSIWIG, Twitter Bootstrap, Drupal for Facebook and other auxiliary modules and libraries. To solve non-standard problems we created our own modules.

Technologies

Ajax, Bootstrap, CS-CART API, CSS, Drupal, Facebook API, HTML, JavaScript, jQuery, JS custom scripts, PHP, SVN
