Vilago21 provides community framework that integrates the most common features in an efficient and up-to-date software environment that is open to be tailored to project specific requirements. Vilago21's features a new kind of member architecture that provides specific USPs for community builders.

Members can be of different types with flexible profiles, such as persons, children, groups, bands, businesses etc. Each member type can have specific properties and its own representation - and can be related to every other type of object.

The vilago21 system allows communities within a community - with their own members, with specific layout, pages and features. Subcommunities within the vilago21 system can share content with each others, and their members are free to join the communities the like with their existing login.

We have entered  development  2 years ago at the stage when all the main functionality has been developed and were working hand-by-hand with the webteam.de to improve and extend the product for some time.

More than 1 year ago webteam.de gave all the work to your team, so Forma-Pro became the main and the only team that works on vilago21 now. Vilago21 project is still being extended and developed. We are constantly adding new features and improvements. Obviously  such “live” maintenance would not be possible without strong QA methods. To ensure quality Forma-Pro uses automatic unit (phpUnit) and functional (Selenium) tests that dramatically decrease error rate in the delivered code. Test coverage helps us to fell safe doing heavy refactoring needed to keep code clean and slim after  when conceptual changes are needed.

During our work on the project we were involved in multiple conceptual and core changes to the system like implementation of the mechanism that allows members to create their own communities using a simple wizard , integration of MCImageManager, profile deletion mechanism, forum development, etc.

We also did the tasks related to the performance optimization like implementing complex caching techniques in Symfony, altering ORM code and SQL queries to achieve better performance.

Another major task we were involved in was search mechanism is based on the Sphinx open source search engine and covers all the different types of objects in Vilago21 and the complicated relationship existing between them. Additionally to the full-text searching we developed multiple types of filtration, i.e. by date, category, etc.

The work on this project still continues. We are excited to work on a such interesting and complicated project.

Drag'n'Drop Websites is a service that provides its members the ability to quickly create websites that are optimized for search engines.

The hearth of the service is page editor developed in Flex. It's powerful client-side application that implements the concept of dragging and dropping the blocks into the page workspace. Use can nest multiple containers of horizontal (childs are placed horizontally) or vertical (childs are placed vertically) types. In addition to the containers the layout contains plugins that feed content ot the page. To give the layout unique look the user can assign different decorators to the blocks on the page.

This service also includes membership system, advanced billing, affiliate system.

Software is integrated with the Vanilla forum.

The service was launched at Feb 2010.

This project is an online shop system for selling shirts. The key idea of the system is that people can design their shirt with variation in different parts design and in fabrics used. This concept is implemented in the JS-based shirts editor allowing potential buyers to select from a set of different part variations and from the palette of fabrics for each shirt component. In addition to the free-built shirts buyer can select any predefined shirt from the gallery.

Webshop has social features integrated like sharing newly designed shirt on a facebook, tweeter integration. Authorize.net has been integrated as a payment gateway.

During the work on this Symfony project we developed more than 550 unit (phpUnit) and functional (Selenium) tests with more than 3500 assertions. Such a huge test coverage allowed us to have full control over the project stability and provide bug-free development version during the work on the project. In addition we used continuous integration by CruiseControl+phpUnderControl to improve the quality of software, and to reduce the time taken to deliver it. This is much less risky that applying quality control after completing all development.

The project is being in beta stage now. Access details are available per request.

This is a system providing its members the ability to build models of their computer systems from the wiki-database of available hardware components of various manufacturers. Components are connected with each other following interface conventions. Members can make their systems public and export them via JS widgets or images. Members can discuss systems, manufacturers and components in the integrated PHPBB forum. The service takes advantage of the OpenID login.

Recording Questions.com is a free question and answer community for recording engineers, musicians, home enthusiasts, and anyone else anyone looking to record something. It should be easy to find answers to your recording questions and you shouldn't have to make your way through complicated forums and out-of-date blogs. Everyone is here to learn and we hope to encourage a positive community experience for everyone.

Automotive companies issue service bulletins from time to time, describing fixes or urgent maintenance issues for particular vehicles or parts. These bulletins come in PDFs and contain strings that can be used to locate bulletins for vehicles. The Bulletins service searches automatically over the text of PDFs and returns a URL permitting the user to download the bulletin itself. This permits applications to find and link to these bulletins easily.

The service exports functions of managing bulletin categories, uploading & indexing PDFs, search function through the SOAP interface.

We developed the service that is exporting all the funciton through SOAP interface implemented in a Symfony application with a help of ckWebServicePlugin.

Additionaly we develop multiple unit tests using the plugin sfSimpleTestPlugin developed and maintained by our team.

This is the complex application intented to help with the creating disclosures and reports for the audit and accounting practice. It consists of the public and private areas. On public side anyone can get ackonwledged with the service and try the trial subscription. The private side contains the powerful tool for managing firm's engagements by answering checklist tree, importing excel data, storing documents, setting up templates for the generated documents. As a result user receives the pack of MS Office documents. We use MS Windows Server and pre-installed MS Office to produce these documents so the resulted documents are fully compatible with the MS Office products. Besides the client side of the site mighty administration area is developed to manage all the processes running on the site. With this tool administrator can create new engagement plans, manage checklist, manage users and their subscriptions and many more.

WBC (Weebly.com/Blinkweb.com Clone) is a smart clone of weebly.com & blinkweb.com website building services written using Symfony framework. In addition to the combined functionality of the services mentioned above  WBC adds it's own unique functionality which is that service users can build marketing websites for selling different products online. WBC implements concept called Software as a Service (SaaS) and is suppposed to be sold to end-users as a service.

The core functionality of the WBC lies in  the rich client side website pages editor written using Ext JS framework. It allows unexperienced users to easily build web pages using drag-n-drop paradigm. Pages editor implements huge palette of building blocks like paragraphs, images video/audio blocks, tables, special marketing blocks like Johnson box and shopping cart, so person building a web site has a full arsenal of tools to quickly create nicely looking website. User can change web-page design selecting from a set of predefined skins. After finishing building website there's a smart FTP uploader in place helping to uploader ready website to the web-hosing.

We also developed editor for pages linkage written in Flex. It's designed to help establishing required linkage between website pages.

The project was not launched, because of the changes in the customer business. Links to the demo version can be provided on request.

This is the social community for the people, which like to party. They can place information about the events in the different clubs including photos and videos. All information is tied to the events and clubs, which is useful for navigation. Users can communicate with each other through the site forum, rate clubs, read information about the favorite artists, search through the site. Useful calendar script make navigations through the events as handy as possible.

Askeet is used as forum application.

We used a number of Symfony pluggins:

• sfGuardPlugin for login system and users managemetn in backend,
• sfFeed2Plugin for RSS feed for all site parts
• Some behavior plugins for comments, rates, etc

Modern Ajax technology makes navigation through the site simple and comfortable.

This is the service for creating sites on the developed platform. Registered user can create the site by setting custom layout through the rich text editor, adding functional plugins, chosing domain name. Created site is hosted on the main server. The main advantage of the project is the unique combination of the symfony php framework with the ExtJS javascript framework, which allows create individual site on fly. Integrated Ajax technology makes the process of creation simple and clear for any user.

Demo is available upon request
