[XASECO] Plugin: GPS Database

[malun22]

Hello everyone,

I have crafted a little plugin, which is probably mostly efficient on RPG Servers. The GPS Database is a google spreadsheet, which holds info about the TMX id of a map and the corresponding Youtube video ID.

The plugin gives the /gps chat command, which gives - if available - the GPS link for the current track.

In order to prevent trolling I only grant access to sheet for trustful people.

Get the plugin here: https://github.com/malun22/GPSDatabase/ or here: https://plugins.xaseco.org/info.php?id=169

Greetings Malun

Interesting malun22

Nice idea
Just add it inside plugins.xml?

Code: Select all

<plugin>chat.gpsdatabase.php</plugin>

Thanks

[malun22]

Yes, install it like every other plugin. Download the php and put the code you already mentioned into the plugins.xml.

I decided to upload an updated version.

I decided to upload an updated version.

What is the version number of the new release, and what changes/fixes does it contain?
This info would be helpful for the repository (I guessed the initial release was v1.0).

[malun22]

Sure.

In the previous version the database was requested at each use of the command. In this version the point of requesting the data changed to on every new track to reduce the amount of curl requests.
Which brings me to the next point. Fetching the data now happens with a curl function instad of a fopen function because a lot of host providers disabled the php_openssl.dll in the php.ini by default. Not to worry about anymore.

Also please make sure to use the latest version I just uploaded to get access to /gps update. The command can be used by admins to reinitiate the process of receiving the GPS Link. I also fixed a mistake in yesterdays version.

Sure.

A version number is still missing, I guessed v1.1.

Thanks. These are a little verbose, I used excerpts for a bullet-wise change log.

Also please make sure to use the latest version I just uploaded...

I did. You may want to update the date in the initial post, then.

[malun22]

Yes. 1.1 should be fine. Also edited the date.

Thank you!
