[QUOTE="joz, post: 563446, member: 70244"] [b]Re: Server console (again ;))[/b] Another little bump on this thread. I think I'm now @ a stage where people can start applying for testing. All hardcoded stuff is decoupled and put into the db. However there is no (working) setup script yet (there will be eventually, not a top prio for the time being, every setting can be managed with any mysql db tool) and the part that does the CRUD (Create Read Update Delete) for the menu is not working (was based upon parent_id but since I switched to lft/rgt that does not work anymore). So far for all the known limitations (I think/hope :)). So on to the point you guys probably care about most, applying as a tester and how to go about, here's what I had in mind; 1) Apply for testing by PM'ing me 2) When PM'ing please mention the parts you would eventually want to run in your own version of the console (like 4tr, utorrent etc. you can also mention stuff that is not supported yet) 3) For now the first round of testing will only be on [B]apache webserver[/B], IIS will come @ a later stage. IIS will be problematic @ first (as the project is now) but I will try my best to get it running on IIS 5.1 and up 4) As well as the point mentioned above only MySQL (5 and up) is supported as a database currently (and is a [B]prerequisite[/B]) 5) Please provide me with some example code you are proud off. Why you ask? Since I do not want to be a helpdesk for people that do not know PHP or MySQL that well. This way I can guesstimate your expertise. It does not need to be lengthy (rather not), just provide something in any language that you think is pretty darn good :) If you do not want to do so, you could still pm and apply. The changes of not being selected as a tester might get higher though. The release date of the first alpha will depend on the amount of people applying for testing. Besides siffing thru the submitted example code I will also need to do some more work, for example; - A developers manual, hopefully covering all aspects (feedback will be welcome too on that aspect) - Making my code release ready (I use some php shorttags here and there and need to pull out my passwords for db etc.) - Creating a database as a fresh start (mine is already filled with bunches of stuff that is useless for you guys and also contains sensitive info) So I hope this first alpha will be reality within the coming 2 weeks (first of february) but since I'm still alone developing this try to be patient. Oh right forgot to mention the prerequisites again: - PHP 5 and up with extensions; * php_fileinfo * and ofcourse php_mysql - and optionally (required by some plugins) * php_sqlite3 (needed for all MP db access) * php_tidy * php_sockets * curl - MySQL 5 and up (dunno about < 5, this is more of just in case ;)) - Apache, preferably with rights to configure it. For some parts (plugins) this will be needed. More importantly [B]the usage of htaccess must be enabled![/B] I am running 2.2.14 (latest). Since I am no expert on this (have been reading lots lately) I can not see/say if there will be problems on other versions, I know for certain it will be working with all 2.2 builds - Microsoft Windows, any kind (although running x64 will make your life a bit harder setting up php etc.).
