Hi,
As some of you guys might know, I have been working on free, web based game backlogger for some time. Now application is so close to working version, that I'm starting to search for betatesters, who could poke around application, search for bugs and give general feedback. So is anyone interested help me out? Thej3w has promised to host it, and as I said, it is going to be completely free when it is ready.
FEATURES
* PHP-application
* Uses MySQL as a database engine
* Multiple users.
* User profiles. Possibility to save avatars, email addresses, other messaging stuff like AIM, MSN, Yahoo and IRC handles.
* Users can add games to their collections.
* In addition of having normal data about game, you can tell is game completed, how far you are in the mainquest and give general comment about game.
* Each game can have multiple personal goals. These are intended to keep track for your progress.
* Users can browse each others collections.
* Users can set their collections to private, so others can't browse them.
* User can set himself "Battle Plan" where you designate in which order you are going through your backlog.
* Possibility to import games to database from TXT or CVS file

revolve wants to sex you.
Question: Any plans to tie this out to some sort of web output, either BBCode or god forbid HTML? I'm trying to build one of those from scratch, but if you guys are close to finish, then I might as well be lazy.
Nope. Doing BBCode would require far more time than I'm currently ready to invest into this. HTML tags are converted into webchars to prevent JavaScript attacks*.
* JavaScript attack = You put external Javascript files HTML refer code into input field that isn't filtered in any way. Now when user comes to page that outputs your saved text, he also automatically runs javascript code that you did set up. Usually this is used either to dump user's cookies contents into attackers log or to activate pop-up window that has "interesting" webpage (i.e. Goatse).
It seems like theJ3w isn't around, so ArcticFox is going to host beta. It should be up tomorrow, so stay tuned.
What I've been looking for is something that takes such data (games played, progress), and output it in HTML format on my own website or stuff. It would be as simple as grabbing the output that you use on your database, and instead of the typical displayPage stuff, you would parse it with basic HTML stuff.
Hmh, I haven't tried anything like that before, but I will put it under work. I'm also working on PDF report system.
Cheers
