Introducing MusicKraze Social - Built on Sngine 🎵 Hey Sngine community! I wanted to share my project MusicKraze Social (musickraze.com) - a music-focused social network I've been building on Sngine. Over the past several months, I've been developing custom plugins to transform the platform into a dedicated space for music lovers, and I thought you all might find some of these useful or inspiring for your own projects. Custom Plugins I've Built Here's what I've added to extend Sngine's functionality: 🎧 MK Spotify Full Spotify integration with search, play, playlist management, recommendations engine, and the ability to share tracks directly to the MusicKraze feed. Users can connect their Spotify accounts, browse their library, and discover new music without leaving the site. 🍎 Apple Music Sharing Integrated Apple Music search and sharing alongside Spotify, giving users options regardless of their preferred streaming platform. 🎤 MK Shazam A song identifier that uses the browser's microphone to listen to music playing nearby, identifies the track via the Shazam API, then lets users share what they're listening to. Works just like the Shazam app but built right into the social network. 🔍 MK Discover A music discovery section combining Spotify's trending artists data with Discogs database info. Displays rich artist details, discography, and embeds top tracks for easy listening and sharing. 🎪 MK Concerts Concert and event finder using the Ticketmaster API. Users can search for shows near them, see event details, and share concerts with the community. 🎸 MK Originals A place for members to upload their own original music - covers, original songs, instrumentals. Supports video and audio uploads up to 25MB with admin moderation tools and feed sharing. 🖼️ AI Studio AI image generator using the Replicate API plus a post enhancer/chatbot that helps users polish their posts before sharing. 🎮 MK Games Integrated Gamezop games with score saving and leaderboards to add some fun engagement features. All these plugins follow Sngine's standard structure (bootloader.php, page_header/page_footer, Smarty templates) so they integrate cleanly with the platform. If anyone's interested in building similar music-focused features or wants to chat about extending Sngine for niche communities, I'm happy to share what I've learned along the way!

Since my last post was surprisingly (!) 6 months ago, I just wanted to give a quick update. A small team and I have been working with Sngine for several years now and have several active communities. Despite the issues with the Sngine team and updates, as well as the possibilities of extending the system independently, we decided to develop our own social engine. This was simply to eliminate our dependence, make customizations better, faster, and easier, move away from PHP and the SQL database, and work with modern systems. In about two months, we will migrate the first community currently running on Sngine to our own system. This will allow us to test our system in an active, live environment, fix initial bugs, and determine which functions we need to adapt specifically for our communities. We want to ensure that the system isn't the same for every niche we serve, but rather develop niche-specific functions and thus become independent. . ... I really hope everything goes according to plan, and that we'll have all our Sngine communities switched to our own system within a year at the latest. (Wish me luck).

Hello everyone! A few days ago, we announced that we will be introducing a new AI called EchoAI for Sngine. Would you prefer it to be built with pure PHP, or with Laravel for a more modern and flexible structure? Check the official post: https://scriptstribe.com/posts/1152

To ensure your socket functions correctly, switch to PHP 8.3. The Sngine socket feature is currently incompatible with PHP 8.4.

Hi everyone, I’d like to ask about the scalability of Sngine. In our case, we are targeting up to 30M monthly visits. Can the current Sngine codebase and database structure handle that level of traffic? Are there any best practices or performance tweaks you recommend to improve speed and stability at that scale? Many developers I’ve spoken to are not very comfortable with Pure PHP + Smarty, and they suggest rebuilding the platform in Laravel with MongoDB for stronger performance and better scalability. By the way, we’ve already customized Sngine and transformed it into a platform that’s not a social network anymore, but a new concept for digital advertising. Any insights, experiences, or suggestions would be very helpful 🙏
