Livestreet Questions

Question

Design

Hello everyone
Need advice, are there any good tutorials (guides) on creating templates for livestreet?
It is also interesting if someone tried to integrate livestreet into an already working project / site / application? That is, there is a ready-made functionality, you need to connect user profiles (advanced), and accordingly give the opportunity to use all the benefits of the finished functionality.
There is a project written in codeigniter, there is a user registration with extended data necessary for the main functionality. I need a blog system, but I'm too lazy to write from scratch ;-)
Also, tell me if there are plugins for livestreet events, a map of places.
Thanks

Answer 1

I think it makes sense to ask this question to the livestreet user community . At least I saw manuals for creating templates there.

Answer 2

There are no problems with creating templates, everything is banal on smarty.
Integration there is also done quite well. I integrated the blog.pravo.ru project with docs.pravo.ru through the blog.pravo.ru/blog/docs/ blog. Comments to documents in blog.pravo.ru automatically create a new topic in this blog. Comments written in this blog in real time are also visible in docs.pravo.ru. You can also create a topic in this blog and a comment to it will appear in real time in docs.pravo.ru. Despite the fact that the systems are completely different and, in fact, loosely connected, the integration went quite well.
The new functionality is also well completed. I added Jobs and Companies sections in such a way that you can specify which of the blog users is the owner of the company. Then he can add a list of employees, including specifying blog users.
In general, I have only positive impressions about the engine, it is quite worthy software that can be customized as you like within its niche, ready-made + file your own. Of the minuses, perhaps I will note only verbosity. You need to add large pieces of code + there are no ready-made standard blocks that could be taken as a basis and quickly filed. In general, I recommend as a blogging platform it is a good choice. Personally, for myself, I eventually chose to cut my own. Whatever worked faster and the development of new features took less time.
