Hi All,

It’s 1 month of work.

So far, It was fun to work with Yii

Hi,

your site looks great in terms of design and layout. As a user i feel familar with the menu layout and find things that I need quite quickly.

I also like the comparison function!

Some suggestions:

  • A custom search implemented on your own to search for specific Mobile Phones (Took a while to find the Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 for example)

  • While browsing the different phones the Matrix overview looks good while the list view does still show the ‘*’-Circle at the beginning of each item which doesnt fit (just hide it completly) into the design.

  • I like the idea of providing an open authentication standard but since i block facebook.com - and also do not have an account there - I am unable to login.

  • "Sign Up" results in an error (Unable to resolve the request "TBD")

Hi,

Thanks for you feedback.

  • Yes, Search is a real pain. I am looking for other options like lucene or sphinx.

  • Yes, you are correct. List view isn’t yet designed. I will remove until it is fixed.

  • For login, will http://accountchooser.com/ be good idea?

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback.

Yii really help me work fast.

This site was initially developed in Drupal. But I force my boss to switch to Yii.

Site is hosted in India and it is flying here. I haven’t yet use any caching and optimization. Even site is currently running in development mode and schema caching for ActiveRecord is not enabled.

I think site will perform much better once I move it to production mode and enable some caching (serving images via sub-domain will also be helpful)

Hi,

Can you please share which database did you use with your website. I am also working on a similar kind of project and would like to use Yii framework.

Your knowledge will help me a lot in this case. Can you please share the technologies used by you build this website.

  1. OS used for deployment of your application

  2. DB used with this application

One more thing which is very critical to the application, how did you get results from different website?

  1. Did the application search the results directly?

  2. Did you use the API provided by these websites?

  3. Is there a way to search these websites if we don’t use their APIs?

Regards

Kapil

Hi All,

I am very excited to announce that pricedekho.com is now receiving 2.5 million users per month.

It is a great achievement for us and for Yii as a platform. It shows how well Yii can handle the high load.

Hats off to Qiang and his team.
