Quick presales question

Scriptcase 9 General
#1

I tried the demo and really like what saw thus far. However, before I commit I do have a few questions :-

  1. Does the PHP generated have blackboxed modules. ie. is some of the PHP generated obfuscated (like ioncude) which means I cannot make changes there?
  2. How does the architecture separate the DB and app server sections. I just need to know if I want the app to scale up on multiple servers if it will be possible across a DB and app server cluster.
  3. How easy is it to incorporate the application into my own website template.
  4. Is there an easy way to embed video players etc on a page

You should ask the question to sales at scriptcase dot net as this is a user forum but:

  1. yes, there are zend encrypted files
  2. it’s php and the generated applications follow the standard php rules.
  3. Depends. We host it in a wrapper plugin in our websites and if you theme well it will show well. But full integration where you exchange data between your cms and scriptcase is something you have to design and create by yourself by using rest, xml. But you can use your cms database in your scriptcase applications.
  4. Again, it’s plain php and html. So yes you can. Never done it but afaik you can integrate youtube pretty easy. But if you can do it in php you can do it in scriptcase.

In general if you have special demands then look at the available samples, they give a pretty good impression about the features. Keep in mind that SC is a case tool. I call it a digital form of “lego”. You can build almost anything you want, but you are bound to the available ‘blocks’. I recommend to download a trial and see if the features are rich enough.
Hope this helps.

To be clear, only the Scriptcase application has obfuscated code, the generated applications do not. All the code generated you can edit and change the source code.

Thank you for the reply. On the Zend encrypted files - I assume those are the framework. If I find any issues with SQL injection etc which might not be handled as yet - I assume i can handle those in the front end PHP? I have to ask this since I used another black boxed solution, and their security framework did not allowe me to fix the issues since it was boxed in. It caused my site to be attacked several times.

There is a onbeforeinsert and onbeforeupdate event to interfere with your sql if needed.
