Default Re: PBW Emergency Site ver 2 Development

The index page is complete.
as is the login script for the server host admin page and the host admin page (except for making and deleting games).

The index page looks in the game directory, gets the game info for all games in it and shows links to them.
Nice if I may say it myself.

Finishing site admin page now and then will work on the game main pages.

The problem with ver 1 not updating is solved with three different methods, all used:
1. Meta tags making the page non-caching and reloading every time it's accessed.
2. A java script forcing update.
3. every page get's a random number so you won't get the same url twice (own invention and it seems to work best).
Combined all three makes the page reload on each access (not three times but just when it loads).

If you want to try and login current passsword for site admin page is "ett".

When one first sets up the server it will bypass the login page and go directly to the admin page.
There is no default password.

The admin page is hacker protected and will eventually mail the host Ip and lookup info on wouldbe hacker.
This will be included in game admin pages aswell.

Most will be user changable and all code will be marked and more structured than ver 1

Setting up of games will be done in one of two ways, either through entering a name in the site admin screen and pressing a button, or alternatly by uploading the files to the game directory (files needed are so far only configuration.php).

First steps of ver 2 (0.1)

PLEASE DON'T CHANGE THE PASSWORD IN THE ADMIN SEUP SCREEN!

I'm working with it.
