When I came into contact with Discuz, it was still in 2009. At that time, we wanted to build a classified advertising display platform combined with search. At that time, the team proposed to build a community forum to cultivate popularity for later marketing. Later we did it and used Discuz version 7.0, and then gradually upgraded it to X1.5. Due to the unfamiliarity with the ideas and the vague concept of community operations, we can judge from the initial upgrade speed of the forum that the community was not very successful.
The current project is still done together with the community, but it has been done separately. The community plus vertical e-commerce will be developed independently and horizontally integrated in the middle and later stages. Although X2 has released a beta version, according to my current thinking, I will develop it myself on X1.5.
Let me talk about my own opinions on whether to choose phpWIND or Discuz for community construction.
The current development of PHPWIND is heading towards Hualong Lane, while Discuz is slowly coming out of the crazy imitation of the 19th floor of X1.5. I haven't tested X2.0 yet, so I dare not say too much. During X1.5, I tested bugs day and night and reported bugs. In the end, I submitted a dozen bugs, but the website was not successful. I think this is also the state of many hard-working webmasters who are testing, giving feedback, and submitting on forums. From the perspective of this framework program alone, Discuz and PHPWIND have very commendable attitudes. After all, 19th Floor and Hualong Lane are still difficult to surpass in China. They are at the forefront of community operations. . But many webmasters may overlook that Hualongxiang also switched from DZ to PHPWIND.
However, now DZ has slowly stepped out of the imitation circle on the 19th floor and continues to return to its own function development, while PHPWIND 8.5 was just born from Hualong Lane today, which seems to be a step too late.
With the release of PHPWIND 8.5, many webmasters have focused their attention on PHPWIND, because PHPWIND imitates Hualongxiang, the art is in place, the functions are also excellent, and it is very successful. In addition, it integrates some picture modules , I personally feel that it is superfluous and can be put in PHP 8.8 or further. After all, few community websites can do a good job in the picture module at the beginning.
PHPWIND's backend imitates Hualong Lane very well, while DZ imitates the development on the 19th floor, which is half-toned. The biggest reason may be that the 19th floor is really too big. As a start-up website, you don't need such a large program at all; while Hualong Lane is currently more of the original shadow of the forum, so it is easier. Let the webmasters accept it. This may be one of the reasons why DZ has shifted its focus away from imitation and back to functional development.
The programs of DZ and PHPWIND are both powerful and have very different styles. After using 19th Floor, I used DZ again, and I felt very comfortable; after using Hualong Lane, I used PHPWIND again, and it felt exactly the same, and I was familiar with the road.
If you look at it from the perspective of a junior webmaster, PHPWIND may be the first choice.
1. Artists don’t have to be so cumbersome and troublesome. Just get a set of programs and use them directly. Just make some pictures and you’ll be good to go;
2. Backend programs: certification, team management, vests, etc., have been integrated with most plug-ins, saving a lot of plug-in installation and secondary development troubles. This is also the technical limitation of many webmasters;
These two points may make PHPWIND's weight higher than DZ in the minds of webmasters.
However, the functions of Discuz are not weaker than PHPWIND, and the art interface is slightly inferior (DZ always talks about functions), and the rough front end leaves a lot of room for secondary development, and also allows DZ users to make achievements in various fields. An excellent site to come. PHPWIND has nothing to improve for webmasters.
Currently, Guangzhou No. 40 still uses the DZ x1.5 program, but it imitates the style of Hualong Lane. Many people may wonder why not switch to PHPWIND, it is so much more direct. The reason why I chose DZ as the framework program for No. 40 is more because I think DZ will have a larger space for secondary development, because the current overall idea is to integrate Hualong Alley and the 19th floor, and improve it later. optimization.
Regardless of PHPWIND or Discuz, each program will have many advantages and some shortcomings, but who can tell you now whether 19th Floor and Hualong Lane are developed based on PHPWIND or Discuz? What's more, the success of community operations relies more on ideas and the market, rather than procedures.
That’s all I have to say this time. It’s just one family’s opinion. I hope everyone will criticize and correct any shortcomings.
