[12:06:29] T^m: nope
[12:06:41] memed: @rob he could make a refrsh with html as well (perhaps jscript)
[12:06:48] rob: o thats true
[12:06:52] rob: smart
[12:06:53] T^m: that where the fla file comes in?
[12:07:04] rob: yea the .fla is the entire design
[12:07:16] rob: if you can get in that, you can change lots of things

[12:14:20] T^m: what about the fla?
[12:14:40] memed: @tim, you even don't need java script:
[12:14:41] memed: <html><head>
[12:14:43] memed: <meta HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
[12:14:44] memed: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="15; URL=<YOUR PAGE URL>">
[12:14:45] T^m: do i have to edit in flash somwe how?
[12:14:46] memed: <title> ..:: Server Staus Thingy ::..</title>
[12:14:47] memed: </head>
[12:14:49] memed: <body>
[12:14:55] rob: or this too :
[12:14:55] rob: <html>
[12:14:55] rob: <head>
[12:14:56] rob: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://www.net-language.com">
[12:14:56] rob: </head>
[12:14:56] rob: <body>
[12:14:56] rob: </body>
[12:14:56] rob: </html>
[12:15:07] memed: yeah that is what i meant
[12:15:24] rob: You can also replace the "0" in the code with a number so that the web site waits that number of seconds before redirecting the user to the new site.
[12:16:09] rob: @T^m : you know enough html to make that work?
[12:16:22] memed: that is easy
[12:16:32] T^m: dunno
[12:16:54] T^m: i will mess around with it wen i have the time
[12:16:55] rob: ok, go back to the index.html
[12:17:02] T^m: is it complicated?
[12:17:05] rob: nope
[12:17:08] rob: one line of code
[12:17:31] T^m: to edit?
[12:17:37] rob: to add, and edit
[12:17:45] rob: yea, notepad
[12:17:50] memed: add this inbetween the two header tags:
[12:17:51] memed: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="15; URL=<YOUR PAGE URL>">

[12:18:29] T^m: lol
[12:18:33] memed: *g*

update available!

=================
*Changes 4/21/04
=================

-added a variable to refresh the page every (??) seconds (default = 30).
inside serverAddress.php you will find:

//set $refresh to 0 if you dont want the page to update every (??) seconds
$refresh=30;

you can specify any value you wish.

-fixed a mistake in index.html relating to sizing with different browsers.
NOTE: you can always change the size of the serverStatusThingy by playing with the two sets of height and width values in index.html.

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

I don't know but, seeing what they are doing at United Admins with their PHPUA, wouldn't you want to take the time to learn the minimum of coding needed to make a lil metamod plugin that will feed your PHP stats thingy the player's positions and a lot of such useful info ?

That would boost your PHP status utility at least at the level of the concurrence for sure...

[rob]

its a dead project.

my focus has shifted elsewhere.

it is available because it provides an alternative to gamespy (or another) status page with advertisements.

if people want real time, theres phpUA

[The_Hard_Mission_Guy]

So this forum here is about , monitoring server activity on a web page, heh?
now except some gaming freaks , Who would need that?
in my opinion (which I'm free to express) this is nothing but another stupid piece of
When I first saw BU , I almost got scared by the number of forums.....
I believe this is one of those dead forums that are waiting to get buried for GooD

P.S this forum is not only dead but it has started to Rot and Reek a long time ago.....Do me a Favor and give it the Bullet of Mercy!
