After5date- The technical challenges and solutions
After5date was formed to create a new, exciting German online dating community with great features and no hidden extras. After5date asked Soft Solutions4U to create a site from scratch with emphasis on a special ‘Search‘ function which matched each member according to their preference and displayed the matching ratio as a percentage against each other member profile. It required a complex algorithm.
What followed was a brain storming session to design an extremely complex algorithm which coupled BuddyPress and WooCommerce and calculated the result based on hidden number set by site Admin
1. Match making quotient
Creating a new plugin for BuddyPress After5date has a unique matchmaking feature which displays a matching making percentage counter against each member profile to help member know which profile matches them best. The percentage is based on a complex algorithm which matches each members based on their personal preference and hidden number assigned to each profile.2. Credit based Messaging System
The messaging needed a subscription. ‘Messages’ being virtual commodity could not be directly integrated with WooCommerce. Therefore we extended the WooCommerce plugin to accommodate this complex feature. Stripe was integrated as the Payment Gateway.3. Clean code and responsive website
Bootstrap allowed us to integrate responsive element in each interface. Based on a complete MVC architecture, this ensured a clean, decoupled, code base that separated design aspect from business logic4. Result
The result was bright, cheerful site that was easy and safe and with complex algorithm and function hidden behind loads of fun . For your information, we have had many more dates with ‘After5date’Got a similar project in mind?
