Questions before purchase....

[Justin]

Hello,

I am currently developing a community website in which I have a mysql database which obviously contains my members details such as username/password, email, etc in a table.

My first question is regarding the set up of the database .... would I be able to integrate this script into my website so that when members login to my site they can then go to the games script without logging in again and also the script identifying them via my database details??? The website uses session control for the log in and so depending on the set up of your script could I just replace some code and insert my session/global documents into the script to verify the users?

My second question is about the games... a few of them dont seem to load.

Title: Bejeweled
Game ID: 3365

is one game for example! Why would this be and how many more games may not work?

Im guessing it wouldnt be hard for me to pull data from the database of this script to include on my members profile pages and elsewhere on the database using my own seperate code, etc?


Also .... I would obviously want to remove the registration form from the pages as my members would already be logged in. Is this as simple as removing the login form code from the pages?

My last questions are regarding user input .... is the input sanitised at all and does it require any speicific php.ini file settings such as register_globals to be turned on, etc? Security is a big issue to me.

Last question is regarding the admin demo ... I havent been able to find any demo or log in details? Is it possible to test the admin section out first as the admin area is a bit part of the script and im not sure I would purchase a script without seeing it first.#


Many Thanks and well done on what looks to be a good script! :)

Cool!

We could probably work out an integration for you as a custom job. Are you on a specific platform or is it a custom solution? What existing functionality do you have?



My second question is about the games... a few of them dont seem to load.

Given that we have so many games, its difficult to test all of them. However, if you report a buggy game in our bug reports forum, we'll be happy to investigate it.


Im guessing it wouldnt be hard for me to pull data from the database of this script to include on my members profile pages and elsewhere on the database using my own seperate code, etc?
Since we do not encrypt any of our code, its extremely easy for you to edit and have the code on other pages.


Also .... I would obviously want to remove the registration form from the pages as my members would already be logged in. Is this as simple as removing the login form code from the pages?Yes, but we'll need to work something out to tie the two together.


My last questions are regarding user input .... is the input sanitised at all and does it require any speicific php.ini file settings such as register_globals to be turned on, etc? Security is a big issue to me.The script is extremely secure and all inputs are validated before being entered into the database.


Last question is regarding the admin demo ... I havent been able to find any demo or log in details? Is it possible to test the admin section out first as the admin area is a bit part of the script and im not sure I would purchase a script without seeing it first.#If you head to our main site, click on 'screenshots', you'll find screenshots of the 1.0.1 admin cp. We're almost done with the 1.1 update, and we'll have a new demo for that up then.



Many Thanks and well done on what looks to be a good script! :)

No problem!

Hi again,

Thanks for the reply. My website is being scripted from scratch so it isnt based on any platform. I am obviously using PHP and MySQL for the site. I was wondering how your database is set up as would I be able to add to my current registration page the insert of member details into your database tables?

IE: member registers at my website .... I set up an insert of username etc into the tables of you script and then the only thing needed would be to sort out the sessions which I could use from my current pages as your script would be enbedded into my web pages! So using variables such as $username could be used????

Do your pages use a session based login? If so this wouldnt be too hard to set up.

How much would a custom job cost as I am trying to restrict the cost of my development???

I basically want it so that the member is registered into your system upon regsitering to my website .... then when a member visits the games section (your script) they are automatically idetified and can play the games without logging in.

I would also like to have their details of games played/won/lost and other things like challenges displayed on their profile page which like we said I could either use the code or create my own to pull the data from the database.

Once the basic script is installed and set up I would be looking for some more custom work once the site is open so this would be an ongoing job.

I saw on another script they have feature like showing game code that members can copy and add to websites like myspace, etc. They also have things like seperate advert space on each game so you can allocate a sponsor per game. However ...they dont have the challenge members and scores for each game which is most probably the biggest thing that attracts me to your script!



I will be looking to purchase the script on friday so just need to decide which script to go for. lol



Thanks very much

Justin

Oh... id also like to set up a leader board for challenges won against other members.

Im guessing this wouldnt be too hard based on the way your database is set up?

Thanks

You would just need to insert the row to create the user. Should be pretty easy to do.

Yup, we use sessions.

We'd need to see your existing site code and such. Create a support ticket in our confidential forums and we'll be happy to check this out for you.


I basically want it so that the member is registered into your system upon regsitering to my website .... then when a member visits the games section (your script) they are automatically idetified and can play the games without logging in.Sounds great.


I would also like to have their details of games played/won/lost and other things like challenges displayed on their profile page which like we said I could either use the code or create my own to pull the data from the database. Thats a great suggestion. We already have much of this in for version 1.1


Once the basic script is installed and set up I would be looking for some more custom work once the site is open so this would be an ongoing job.We are open for custom work, although we are very selective as to which projects we take on.

That would certainly be easy to add.


I will be looking to purchase the script on friday so just need to decide which script to go for. lolWe certainly hope that we can earn your business. I believe that we are currently the only arcade script that is actively updating our script with new features and is constantly interested in improving our product.

Nope, that wouldn't be hard at all.



Thanks very much

JustinThank you too!

Hiya,

Thanks for the reply. I think I will be buying this script on friday as its seems pretty good.

I think its great to see an active team as service is just as important if not more important to me. Ive been caught many times before by dud scripts and/or programmers and its certainly my top hate. lol

Its good to see you are still working on the script. If you want I could give you a link to some demos of other sites to maybe give you some ideas for future improvements and features? I could certainly give you a list of features for improvement if you ever need feedback.

I will go along to the confidential forum now and post you a copy of my session based log in. Hopefully that will allow you to give me some idea of a price if I do get the custom work done.

Thanks
Justin

No problem, glad we could help.
