PHP-based Gaming Site: where to start?
I wish to start a php-based gaming fansite that has:
  • searchable database of items, materials, etc.
  • displaying results in sortable/searchable tables (jQuery datatables)
  • user profile creation and management
  • maps
  • VB forum that links profiles with website profile (maybe shares login and cookie?)

I need advice on where and how to start.

Should I start with a PHP framework, or just use a User Login Library, and do the rest of the PHP from scratch?

Overall, it sounds you wish to simply have something like a PHP-Nuke site and just create your own theme, and perhaps a module or two...

I don't think I want the confines (or the overhead) of a CMS.

I'm just thinking I'll try and use the VBulletin login and extend their profile for my whole site and then the rest is just simple.
