FileBase Beta Testing
 

Hi ppls,

/edit

http://filebase.bots-united.com

ok, this is also WIP :-) so here are the updates:
now you only have to log into this forum to get upload access to the filebase, also remember, you can put downloads in the filebase which link to files elswhere on the net, you do not need to upload them again here if they are allready downloadable elswere, so let this become the link & download colletion for bot related software ;)

edit/

i fixed up the filebase (paFileDB 3.1) to work in our secure server enviroment thats no joke, most software won't work out-of-the-box here.
and i made it even secure (which it is not by design), so i added some admins but no regular users (called Team Members in paFileDB).
also you can now use your forum login to log into the filebase

A small introduction is found here:
http://server.bots-united.com/wiki/i...hp/UseFilebase

please see the wiki link and add your wishes there, i will check it up in 2-4 days time :-)

The filebase admins allready added can get/set their accout by using root in paFileDB login or simply asking me via PM or email.

cheers ok

i logged in. I think it works, but i won't add a file yet. When will we use this for sure?

Re: FileBase Beta Testing
 

_i_ will use it, i managed to get the vb3 forum user/pass to be used for authenticating the "Team Members".
It should be used, that is shure, nova complained to me about attachments eating up the mysql server resources. but you do not need to re-upload all the stuff you allready have linked on your webpage, the paFileDB will also work with urls pointing to other urls than its own up/download area. e.g. your realbot page...

so the only todo left, is make it look like the rest of the bu webpage. i will ask pmb about that.

cheers

Re: FileBase Beta Testing
 

can you add me to the team member list so i can test an upload for you?

Re: FileBase Beta Testing
 

i just managed to get the filebase use this forum's database for user authentication, so you should be able to login with the same username/pass as here in this forum.
if you need more categories just tell me, or any other filebase admin.
see wiki http://server.bots-united.com/wiki/i...hp/UseFilebase
and the wishlist http://server.bots-united.com/wiki/i...lebaseWishlist

cheers Onno

*g* thx for the flowers, thats what i'm here for 8)

the filebase user management is now completely removed, so to say, all admins with usergroupid higher than 5 (6 and up) are now able to log into the filebase Admin area using the normal forum login. resulting of this, no user/admin editing in the filebase makes sense, the vb3 forum database won't be edited from the filebase pages ;)

also the rating feature is removed, it was not working and did not threw errors in any log, so after trying to fix it for an hour or two i decided to remove that pointless feature anyways.

also the first upload (from Count Floyd) was made, i encourage all mods to add categories in the filebase, prefeably befor adding files ;)

so todo's left over are making a BU style (i leave that to you PMB:D) , removing the defunctional leftovers of the filebase usermanagement and finaly enforcing the use of the filebase, by verifying big uploads in the filebase and limmiting uploads to the forum.
/edit
next big thing: make the filebase detect and use the vb3 cookie, thus providing true single sign on :)
