[Release] OpenCAD (Computer Aided Dispatch) [Demo Site]

gam3vidz · September 23, 2017, 4:24am

Hello there,

I’m Farmer I’m apart of the OpenCAD team today we are proud to announce the release of a public Computer Aided Dispatch System and Mobile Data Terminal. We at open cad believe why to pay for a software that doesn’t work such as DCRS with the name lookup or database lookup. Also, not to mention ridiculous prices for software that is somewhat confusing to use. We are based on OpenSource we don’t like to hide what we do and believe everyone should have access and complete control over the product such as self-hosting unlike other such as DCRS or Modern cad.

Here at OpenCAD team, we believe in providing the best stuff for you guys. Our mission is simple “Provide the best experience possible.”

HISTORY: The Development Team Phill and Farmer came together along with Justin and Brennen to ask why hasn’t this been done. So from that day on we all have been working hard to bring this to you guys.

Releases: Currently we released an update called RC1

Cant seem to get on your website

NotBootium · September 23, 2017, 4:27am

umm, something doesn’t add up here. 503 error from CloudFlare

xlxAciDxlx · September 23, 2017, 4:32am

Appears to be up now!

jrharper · September 23, 2017, 4:33am

Our website is back up.

We were in the process of updating our website software.

xlxAciDxlx · September 23, 2017, 4:34am

Is this announcing you WILL be releasing it, or that it’s released? 'Cause the website is basically useless.

phillf · September 23, 2017, 4:37am

RC1 is released. Please bear in mind that this is ALPHA software. We have fixed plenty of issues from the original codebase and there are plenty more for us to find and fix.

As you use the software and find issues we ask that you please log them in the issues tab on GitHub.

Hey, any screenshot/video ?

stivicx · September 23, 2017, 9:09am

You should put a link for download here and not send people on your “forum” is not allowed.

carbon · September 23, 2017, 9:42am

On your website; Annoucements , might be a typo.

Please provide some screenshots, perhaps a live-map to look at player positions would be a nice addition. I’ve seen this been done before.

gam3vidz · September 23, 2017, 10:41am

Thank you for recommending this i completly forgot xD

JinkLeft · September 23, 2017, 1:36pm

I’ve been following you guys for a while working on the github. Awesome job!

I would recommend not using this. It’s amateurish build. Probably even by an amateur in PHP. Couple things after a 2 minute quick look:

It’s not using MVC in this day and age.
It has a lot of security flaws (printing out errors regardless of production or development environment, no CSRF protection, no session hijacking protection) (EVEN OVERWRITING THE INI SETTING!)
The folder structure is an absolute mess.
It prints out raw HTML instead of using a template engine. (Also means A LOT of duplicated “code”)
There are some weird things like:
if ( (isset($_SESSION['logged_in'])) == "YES" )
Why isn’t this a boolean? Why are there so many parentheses, it doesn’t even make sense since isset returns a boolean. And he is comparing that boolean with YES totally nuts.

And I could go on and on… Even after only a 2 minute quick look.

EDIT:
Even after 19 Days of saying “He’s gonna have a security audit in the next days”: https://github.com/StormlightTech/openCAD-php/issues/26
He has not managed to fix HUGE security flaws…

I have to agree with this. MVC frameworks are easy enough to learn, and can also lead to faster development and less fragmented code (which can mean more bug fixes easily). Templating will also improve how quickly things can be made and bitched between both developers and designers. Not saying your product is bad or shouldn’t be made, I respect someone trying to do it on their own. But there are definitely some issues that should be addressed before a release, even as an alpha.

There are various artifacts from the original developer that we are working to fix.

I will readily admit that I am not the strongest when it comes to PHP but I event looked at the code you referenced and thought it seemed odd.

Subtixx · September 23, 2017, 7:43pm

The repository is violating a lot of software engineer rules.
The biggest on is DRY (Don’t repeat yourself)

Just looking at the login check:
Link to search

Instead of trying to fix all your mistakes, I’d rather re-write the whole thing (Just my opinion.) The code is such a mess that you don’t even seem to clearly know all cornerstones. (This would also allow you to remove all copyrights from the original author.) Go with something like laravel, or codeigniter which has all the things you need. Again why re-invent the wheel. You just have to re-write stuff that has already been written and with that 10x better.
