Resources to create site like Laracasts Hey All,
I'm looking to make a video tutorial site like Laracasts, complete with tags, series, and forum.
What packages would you suggest to kick-start this project? I'm planning on using Stripe for payments.
What about for the forum or member accounts?
Anything you could provide would be helpful!
(Note: planning on building on L5.)
Stripe is a good solution for payments, you'll need a package to manage videos, like vimeo for example.
This forums is a custom made, you can begin by creating a simple forum and add more features later.
Check the "Which tools were used to create Laracasts?" block in this link https://laracasts.com/faq
Good luck.
Hey @RachidLaasri , that's quite helpful. Thanks for the link. I agree that vimeo seems like the appropriate video solution.
Thank you @tag for sharing, I read that once but never had a chance to try it out.
I think Jeffrey is planning to release the forum as open source one day.
Well that would be totally awesome. I hope that is the case.
I think with laravel it`s quite simple to create a member / login / register section.
But if you need something that works "out of the box" you can try sentry ->

For tags you could use something like this
https://github.com/rtconner/laravel-tagging
Because the forum and the other tools: I think if you use a framework you should develope this by yourself otherwise you could just use a cms like wordpress, joomla & co :P
