EE in the Wild: Rorotoko

Launched about a month ago, Rorotoko is a website that brings together authors to “promote and discuss their own work.” The site was designed and developed by Erwin Heiser (known as e-man in the EE forums). In a forum post Erwin shared a little about how the site was built:

I used Solspace‘s Freeform and Tags modules, a few of Leevi Grahams extensions (Social bookmarking, Add sitename + his BigTarget jquery plugin on the frontpage), the wonderful Playa extension by Brandon Kelly and the Yearly Archive plugin by Low.

A bit of custom coding was needed for the “most mailed” feature on the frontpage and for having the comments on the second part of a paginated article. [links added by me]

Be sure to read the whole forum post from Erwin.
