Php/Asp websollution for Lair List

[mots]

Write down how you think this should be done.


Obvious we need ppl to be able to make a user and claim to be lk, but also able to pass the list to someone else. Also that the one holding the list can remove it when its needed.

this is just an example.

Tank list
Seer list

Any special list for needed classes?

sms pbae level and leech list

Someone need to host and administer it ofc...

Then it's simply a matter of a simple script that can add people to a database or a flatfile and remove them again. And ofc asp/php/html pages to show the list.

So the adminitrator has full access, and can designate a LK, and only the admin and the current LK can assign a new LK (the current LK will loose his rights when he assigns a new LK).
And only the current LK and admin can add/remove peeps from the list.

The problem is that the admin must assign a new LK each morning.. and sometimes it is 2 lair groups etc.

The coding aren't very hard though..

And for each new LK he must get a password/login to add/remove people from the list.

Yep... there has to be an admin that's willing to do some work every day... it's not much but still... maybe there should be more than 1 admin ? for instance 5 admins or more... so that there'll allways be an admin online to start a new list if needed...

sm list (50s)
healer list (50s)
Lootpickerlist

if i did it i whould have a subpass thats randomized, so only the current LK knows it. then have another pass for the admin so he can create new Lists etc.

Yepp that seems like a good idea, what do you think Urme =)?

I don't see why an admin would be needed at all?

So you want everyone to have access to add/remove members from the list ? I think we need some access control here and admin are needed for that.... imho

 

[old.Lythande]

I think the easiest way to solve it would be to let anyone just put their name/class/lvl/alts etc on the list, when they do they get a temporary password for removing themselves from the list if they can't make it etc.

Then the current LK can just go to the page, look at the list and PM the ppl on it when needed.

Would remove the need for an active admin adding stuff etc.

Then have it auto-cleared every 24h or something.

I'm no comp techy type person, but couldn't you just make a list where people add themselves and they can see what position they are and the LK just takes the required people from the list as he sees them?

So to give an example...

Person X logs onto Malmo list site, adds his lvl 48 warrior to the tank list. He's number 1 on the list.

G1 LK requires a new tank, he alt tabs to the list site where he can see the guys name. PM's the guy under the alt name he's given (assuming you can do that) and the guy logs in his tank. Then removes himself from the list.

Or somthing like that, i'm feeling kinda tired at the moment to be honest

Lol, great minds think alike huh, Archeon?

Yeah, it pisses me off no end that my greatest ideas always seem to come when i'm too tired to remember them

 

[uglymug]

lets just scrap the list 'system' all together ...

No of course not, but I still don't see why an admin would be needed for that..

Anyone can start a list, enter a list password, and enter the name of the listkeeper and maybe a description for the list. When the list is transferred the keeper would simply give the password to the next LK, etc.

Sure, if someone is incredibly bored he could make fake lists, but you could limit the maximum number of lists to 2 per IP address or something to prevent easy flooding.

 

[agreiloth]

Yep could work, but I still think there should be some1 with full access if the LK for instance gets severe network problems, so he can't assign a new LK, just to avoid having to create a list all over again... but that's just imho again

I could both host and create that online lair list.
I can begin to work on it sometime today(Sunday). If ppl then could come with suggestions (as now) so we could get a list that goes smooth.

It will be here:
http://www.ridlr.com/lair_list/


EDIT:

I will need some more admins than just me incase there is a problem and i'm not online.

hehe.. nice if you code it in Php and need any help.. just ask me

The main problem is to get people to a webpage from the beginning atleast.. just for signing the list.

Yes that's possible, and I really like the idea of people being able to add/remove them selfes, allthough you clearly stole the idea from Lyth

But there's just one problem and that's selfadministration, users are in general not very good at that, so you'll have lots of people of the list that has logged or are in a lair group allready etc. So I still think the LK needs to be able to remove/add peeps to the list if needed. Combine Lyth and Thorarin's idea perhaps that would be awesome imo. Then throw in a few admins just in case.... and that's imho again as allways

 

[Durux]

I will script it in PHP Urme, so i will contact u if there is any problems.
U newer know about these things, even the smallest code can get u locked up in the mental hospital

 

[Durux]

I'm gonna take Agreiloth up on his word and make him co Admin on the site.
I will need 1 or 2 more so there always is a chance to get hold of atleast one admin.
It would be great if 1 or 2 of the admins besides me have knowledge of PHP scripting.

If you want to be co Admin plz either PM in here (not in game) or just reply on this post...

What with a timer?? Say the ppl on the list has to confirm that they still are on the list.
Maybe make a Lair grp section where grp1 and grp2 are shown??
You could add ppl from the list to one of the two grps and by that removing them from the list.
The "Lair rules" should be on the sight too. A lot of new ppl don't know how this works.

Oki np mate, the admins can perhaps have their ICQ numbers shown on the page. That way admins are easier to get hold of.

I'm sorry to announce that i wont be able to this online lair list atm. I got to much to do now. So i'll have to withdraw me from it, sorry to get ur hopes up guys, but i had not counted on this
