PBW Emergency Site files v1.51 Finished and fixed.

Hi, sorry Geo.

The upload button doesn't move the old file, it stays there as backup until the directory is cleared (stupid but so is it), the players will still get the right file though.

All the others is due to missing files, my fault, thought they where included in the older Versions but in some they where not.

Here is the fixed archives:

(Geo, use the patch below, not getuptodate!)

NB:

After applying the patch, remember to enter (OR RE-ENTER) manually the data in MAIL.PHP.
i e;
SMTP, account and YES,
if you wish to use auto mail functions.

This file is intended for the server owner and is therefore not accessible from the web with ver 1.

Ruatha,

I still cannot get any of the admin functions to work. I get the admin page, but nothing I do there has any effect on the files and I get the same errors I was getting before.

TO make sure it wasn't a missing file or somethign I made a new folder and put a fresh install of the 1.51 complete files in it. Same deal. Can't change admin password, or game details, or anything.

Ok, I think it's some settings the host must propably do on the server.
You don't seem to have permission to change those files.

I'd think that as uploads of turnfiles is allowed it would be allowed to change the other files aswell.
But ask Fyron to check his settings for the gamedirectory aswell, now it's propably only the turnfiles directory that is open.
As it works on my server it (propably..) has to be that.

Do you still get that 404 error on downloading?
If so I guess it's the same problem, the script isn't allowed to make that file.

I guess ver 2 might be ready sooner than expected, and then the server just needs to open a subdirectory games and all it's subdirectories, not the folder where the scripts are located as in ver 1.
I understand that is no comfort now, but there is nothing I (think) can do about these errors, now it's up to the server owner (I hope).

Thanks Fyron, but here is my pride and joy:

Admin password "ett"
Feel free to set up and delete games, but leave the NGC3 game as that is my testgame (It's not the actual NGC3 game but as I can use those plar files it makes things easier for me..)

That makes sense. I am not going to worry about it then. What you have given me will get me through till PBW is back up. It's not that big a deal to do a little file swapping manually.

You do realize that you can use linebreaks in echo commands, right? You do not need a separate one for every line of HTML...

Why is it still reading in from text files? What happened to the variables php file to include?

The admin script should NOT instantly auto-redirect to index.php! It should display a dialogue telling whether it was successful or not, and provide a link back to the index! I can not even see the errors it is trying to tell me about.

The Readme needs to mention that you need to set chmod permissions to 646 (allow public write) on all the "configuration" files to be edited by the admin scripts.

Things like "set password" would IMO be better handled as functions in the admin.php, rather than as separate files.

You should look into cookies... it is annoying to have to keep typing in the password over and over and over again...

Your complete Version 15 file has the index.php copied into the gamefile folder.

Please include a blank index.html file in each subfolder so that snooping browsers can't see their contents.

If the email for a player is blank, then the page should not generate a mailto: link for it. It should just display the (none) text, and that is it. No sense making a link that doesn't do anything.
