SiteLink's self-storage software helps small and large self-storage operators manage their self-storage tenants and grow profits while reducing costs.
This codebase was written many years ago. That was the PHP 5 era, since then they have abandoned some of the old functions that were used when it upgraded to PHP 7 so this codebase will not work smoothly on PHP 7. Unfortunately, I couldn't do the maintenance on time due to a lack of finding spare time. If you want to upgrade or add new features please contact me via madu.rapa@gmail.com - September 2020
This code base is written in PHP and use CodeIgniter Web Framework 3 but if you can get the idea, you can implement this into any framework even into any language. CodeIgniter documentation can be found at http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/
When I try integrate SiteLink API to a site I was searching for some reference to get some help but have I ended up with nothing. I only had their API doc but with the API doc you can do almost nothing. I think they should provide more details. I’m going to list down what are the cons with their documentation.
- There is no explanation about which steps you have to fallow (which method you have to call in the first place and which one next and so on…)
- Some method’s parameter names are different than in the API doc.
- Lack of code samples for different languages.
But their support team is just amazing… They always be there to help you at anytime. This code base is here just because of their help. You can reach them at apisupport@sitelink.com
