Objectives

This project consists in creating a web forum that allows :

• register users
• communication between users.
• associating categories to posts.
• liking and disliking posts and comments.
• filtering posts.

Authentication

In this segment the client must be able to register as a new user on the forum, by inputting their credentials. You also have to create a login session to access the forum and be able to add posts and comments.

I use cookies to allow each user to have only one opened session. Each of this sessions contains an expiration date, used of UUID. The password encrypts before store.

Communication

In order for users to communicate between each other, they have able to create posts and comments.

• Only registered users will be able to create posts and comments.
• When registered users are creating a post they can associate one or more categories to it.
  • The implementation and choice of the categories is up to you.
• The posts and comments should be visible to all users (registered or not).
• Non-registered users will only be able to see posts and comments.

Likes and Dislikes

Only registered users able to like or dislike posts and comments.

The number of likes and dislikes visible by all users (registered or not).

Filter

Filter allow users to filter the displayed posts by :

• categories
• created posts
• liked posts

You can look at filtering by categories.

Note that the last two are only available for registered users and refer to the logged in user.
