[TOOL/WEB/INFO] phpMCWeb 0.8.5

Cool, but what is it?
phpMCWeb is an open source web interface to show users server information on a fancy XHTML/CSS compliant GUI! Long gone are the days where websites render differently on each browser - phpMCWeb renders the same on ALL modern browsers, even IE8!

Included is currently a news page (powered by Fusion News), chat, dynmap page, player list with inventory viewing!

I've decided to discontinue this since I simply don't have the interest in Minecraft any more. Sorry for anyone who is disappointed by this. I may bring it back at a later date but at the moment it's future is uncertain.

Can I see a working demo?
Sure, go here: http://mc.notoriouspyro.com

There must be a catch right?
Unfortunately, there is one catch - phpMCWeb is still beta quality - please report any bugs and suggestions. I'm also more than happy to accept more developers that wish to join the team! People with PHP/XHTML/CSS experience are needed!

Quick! Gimme the download link!
Whoa! Hold on there, make sure you read the README file included first! You'll want to make sure you can actually run it first and you understand what to do! But as long as you are ready to go, scroll down further.

I need help!
You can ask for help here (or I can help you personally with installation, customization, etc for a small fee - email me at craigcrawford1988 AT gmail DOT com).

I need something more custom,
can you do this for me?
Of course I can, but customizations to phpMCWeb are not free (however they aren't expensive).
You can email me at craigcrawford1988 AT gmail DOT com if you'd like a quote.

A couple of ideas:

• Dresser - A tool that allows you to try "outfits"- e.g. to see how a pumpkin on your head looks with a iron sword in your hand
• Recipe lookup
• Skin maker/editor - You start with the default skin and you got some simple paint like tools to alter it.

 

Hmm, those are a bit more characteristic of a fan site - not what phpMCWeb is meant for (it's meant for server info, etc).

 

Statistics?

 

0.7.3 released

@TBK later on - now is the stuff that can be provided quickly by JSONAPI.

 

Great Will you add server administration in the future or is that out of scope?

 

That will be added, but not just yet

 

Great job you're doing with this!

Can't wait for chatting to be implemented. :3

 

Two new idea Member Signature and Server Banner Generator
Especially Member Signature combined with stats would be fun

 

.__.
I was trying to set it up on my web server, and I had your page opened.
I accidentally logged into /news and changed the details in your page instead.

It's not letting me change it back... I didn't realize the details on your end were the default :S

Just letting you know... you may want to change it to something else.

Can't seem to get it working on my end though, it's just loading endlessly.

I'm not really bothered, with each major version I replace the stuff on my own webserver anyway - that's why I never changed them.

Make sure you have the JSONAPI settings correct, they must be exactly the same (salt, username, password, IP and port).

If it still fails then check logging on JSONAPI and also check your apache logs for php errors.

 

They are exactly the same, :/

I'm not getting any PHP Errors either, and JSON doesn't report anything happening.
Is there anything special I need to do if I'm setting it up on an external webserver?

Another issue, possibly related, is that when I go to save changes I make to my profile I get:

Code:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /phpmcweb/news/index.php on this server.

And I have set the permissions of both news and cache to 777 like the readme said...
:/

 

Ensure that php logging is at the right level in your php config, see the php documentation. I believe your problem is most likely that the port to JSONAPI is not open on the server hosting it.

 

This looks cool <3

 

Others can access the port just fine... This has me quite stumped.

 

You need to ensure php logging is at the right level, I can't help you without logs.

 

How do I let it connect to my server (which is not on the same machine)?
This is my Config.php right now:

Code:

// These are set manually for now... ;)
$language = "english";
$theme = "default";
$site_name = "phpMCWeb";

// Full URL to phpMCWeb (e.g. http://www.somesite.com/phpmcweb)
$site_url = "http://www.centrility.nl/test";

// JSONAPI settings
$jsonapi_ip = "77.250.233.158";
$jsonapi_port = 20059;
$jsonapi_username = "Lolmewn";
$jsonapi_password = "MyPassw0rd";
$jsonapi_salt = "Salt";

// Full URL to Dynmap (ignore if you've deleted map.phtml from the pages directory)
// (e.g. http://www.somesite.com/dynmap)
$dynmap = "";

?>

I don't have DynMap online yet.
I was just guessing to put my IP at the jsonAPI, I'm not quite sure what needs to be in there.

 

With that config I could fuck your server up. Look out

 

That is not actually my password

 

with that 0 it looks like yours

 

Im stupid, but not That stupid xD Anywayz, you know the answer to my question?

 

Well, if you are looking for an answer to... something - just point those IP & port to your server's IP and JSONAPI's port.

 

What's a JSONAPI? Can I just use my normal ports for that?

 

JSONAPi is what this plugin uses.. is a plugin

 

oh lol

Oh, right. I installed it and it still doesnt work.. Dynmap is working though
I forwared all three ports (20059, 20060 and 20061), the JSONsettings file has the same salt as in the config.php, and the login and passwords are all correct (as far as I know). What could I have done wrong?
Edit: This is what it looks like right now: http://centrility.nl/test/news.php

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

You need to enable php logging and check the apache logs.

 

When will 0.8.5 be released?

 

At the moment I haven't been developing phpMCWeb too much as I've been very busy with sorting out my University course and studying for a test.

I will try and get it released sometime today.

Updated to 0.8.5

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Super
Good luck with the test.

 

I would be glad to help develop! I know php and html/css, I can do basically anything web and i have a small vps we can use to test it on, its centos 5.5 and i get it for free every month so i have it forever

add me on skype: ninjapanda19

 

Feel free to grab the source off github and make edits, I'll push them if they're any good.
