How does one Achieve a Website?

[Slayden]

How would one go about setting up a website, supported my EQEmu? Such as Guildwars website is or was. I'd very much appreciate the help ty.

Well if you want a subdomain pointed to your actual webpage that is hosted somewhere else it wouldnt be a problem at all. (IE Slayden.eqemulator.net forwards to a page hosted somewhere else such as geocities or such) But if you want to have the page hosted using EQEmu's bandwidth we are going to have to be very selective. I know devn00b was providing hosting a while ago you might want to ask him if he doesnt mind. I could then setup a subdomain to forward to your website with the option of masked or unmasked URLs.

angelfire and brinkster are good webhosts, not a lot of space to hold things tho...but then again on angelfire you can make multiple free accounts to hold your extra stuff :lol: then if you want something close to www.eqemu.net or somethin you can go to www.cjb.net. they will give you domain like this free....www.eqemu.cjb.net....works for me if you dont want to pay for a domain.

I have a somewhat similar question, but for another idea. On the old guildwars website they had the stats, i'm guessing which was pulled through mysql and output with php.

Would be nice if a tutorial of somesort was setup. I may start one and let someone with more knowledge finish/cure it.

What sort of stats were you looking at displaying?

Well, i'm not necessarily looking for this to be done, I just think it'd be helpful for people out there that run servers.

Maybe just write a simple php tutorial on how each specific stat can be output. That way someone could create an eqemu maglo, or a way to put stats on a website for their server.

I know hogie had started a magelo for eqemu, but he's long gone.

And the db format has been changed a lot since then, some things aren't even blobs anymore so they are simple to query and output

The stats I had on the old guildwars site was pulled directly from the db. I know because I wrote the page. Whenever an event happened on the server, the server would add an entry into the guildwars_events (might be a tad different, dont have the tables in front of me). The entry would include the killer's name, victims name, points of the kill based on level diff, zonename, and guilds of both the victim and killer. The page would then execute some mysql group functions to combine the data into whichever category I was displaying. It used php to render and display the page, pretty simple stuff. It takes minimul effort to do something like this. You would just need to edit the code to update the database with whatever you want, and then use php to get and display the info.

Isn't there a tool that helps you set things up like this? PHP Genie? Trump posted a link to it awhile awhile awhile back.
