Business Needs

FanU, an education and community engagement platform, needed to modernize its outdated web system to meet the demands of scalability, security, and user engagement. The primary goals were to migrate from CodeIgniter 3 to CodeIgniter 4, merge two redundant websites into a unified platform, and integrate WordPress SSO for seamless authentication. Additionally, the platform required gamification features to enhance user participation, improved database integrity for consistent data handling, and the ability to manage large-scale data operations efficiently.

Challenges & Solutions

We modernized FanU’s outdated system by migrating to CodeIgniter 4, unifying duplicate platforms, integrating WordPress SSO, and adding gamification and activity tracking creating a faster, scalable, and more engaging user experience.

Challenges

  • Outdated Framework and Performance Issues: The legacy CodeIgniter 3 system relied on deprecated methods, limiting scalability and introducing maintenance challenges.
  • Redundant Platforms: Two independent websites with overlapping functionality created inefficiencies, duplicate work, and inconsistent user experiences.
  • Fragmented Authentication: Separate WordPress and FanU login systems caused confusion and friction for users, reducing engagement.
  • Disorganized Database Structure: A lack of relationships, foreign keys, and indexing led to data redundancy, poor integrity, and slow performance.
  • Limited Engagement Tools: No tracking or gamification existed to motivate users or analyze participation, making it difficult to measure engagement or reward activity.

Solutions

  • Modernized Architecture : Upgraded the platform from CodeIgniter 3 to CodeIgniter 4, delivering a modular, secure, and high-performing system ready for future growth.
  • Unified Web Platform : Merged both websites into a single, scalable platform with built-in analytics, improved navigation, and consolidated management.
  • Seamless WordPress SSO Integration : Integrated WordPress Single Sign-On (SSO) to create a frictionless login process and unified user experience.
  • Optimized Database and Bulk Tools : Restructured the database with normalization, added foreign keys, and developed custom Importer & Exporter tools for efficient data handling.
  • Gamification and User Activity Tracking : Integrated Gamipress to reward user actions in real time and implemented activity logs for transparent tracking and performance reporting.
