[PHP/Recruiting] Sky CMS - MMORPG Private Server Content Management

[Ron]

I've recently picked back up my old project of creating a universal MMORPG private server CMS. Basically a CMS you can use for any game found here at RZ. The name will probably be changed. Its just something that went with the template I'm using.

It will install similarly to vB, asking you for a few basic configurations. The installation will then prompt you to select your game where the CMS will base itself around. Adding functionality for each game's database will take time but I believe it would be an interesting project.

I've been working on the base all morning. Its kind of a mix of OOP and procedural programming atm, though I plan on having it completely OOP based by the time its finished.

If anyone is interested in helping out just send me a message or hit me up on MSN. If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to post them. I'd like to hear any and all feedback regarding this project.

Got a live demo now. It may occasionally be down as its hosted off my PC.

I encourage anyone to try out all the features implemented so far to help me find bugs. If you add new articles just delete them afterwards so people can be updated on the progress.

Suggestion: make the background pictures of minecraft, with the top portion the sky in minecraft. The beige on the bottom is less interesting than a beautiful minecraft creation :D.

Make a script that has a creeper blowing up the page and I'll totally do it. :D

Planning on it. I only learned PHP back in mid-july so this is a test for myself pretty much.

Even if I can't pull it off I'm sure someone would be willing to help out.

[s-p-n]

closed or open source?

[Ron]

It'll make more progress being open source, though if anyone is willing to help out I want to get their opinions first.

[Ron]

Implemented article deletion, will add editing after playing some tf2. :P

(might of found a bug or it might of been done on purpose).

I generated a news article with basically

<b>bold</b>
<em>italic</em>
<a href="http://google.com.au">link</a>

and when I went back to edit the article it goes back to plain text, so it just says bold, italic and the link disappears altogether.

[Ron]

Articles for the most part will only work with text and line breaks. There aren't any formatting functions except for slashes and breaks.

[Law]

Ron, you should make ranks, and do so other people can't change news and such? I can see the demo user can edit, text etc.

[Parker]

Looks like there already is ranks.

When logged in it says - Rank: Administrator

[Ron]

Yeah, there are ranks. I set the demo as admin so people can test out the management panel. I trust no one here will try to fuck anything up lol.
