Need testers for Fantasy Grounds website!

Hi guys, as mentioned in a thread earlier someone suggested coming up with a way to link players together besides forum postings.

I decided to create a website and 2 days ago set out learning PHP and XHTML. I have created a way for players to register their pertinent information into a MySQL database and for GMs to be able to search that database. Coming soon is the ability for GMs to register a campaign and players to have the ability to search that database.

I need testers to come out to test out registering and searching. Currently only one thing is still in works and that is searching by time (the data exists in the database but am working on the query chains).

The website is https://www.FGresources.com. To register as a player click the Players Button and the Register link. To search the player database click the GMs Button and the Search link.

Please post here or e-mail me from my webpage with any bugs/suggestions you have (especially additonal player styles and game systems). This is just a beta test so I will wipe the data before the site goes live.

Also, I have received permission from several of the token/map creators to host the files on my website so look for this section soon!

Registered, looks like a great resource

Registered ... hope to see more soon :wink:

Similarly ... I also use adventuresomedreams.com to post info to try and avoid overburdening the FG site.

Just registered and then did a DM search, worked. Good job,

Made some minor changes to search results, imploded the game types into an array from the DB so that I can have them all show in one column. This makes it less clunky, also added the mailto: tage for the e-mails to make e-mail a potential player easier.

Added a few more gametypes and if you have one you wanted added please let me know the Gamesystem (D20, WOD, etc or "other") and the GameName.

Still working on getting the time search to work correctly. The math with the GMT stuff is tricky.

Added ability to create username and password for future ability to update information. Also added some verification so end times can't be less than start times, e-mail and username are required, at least 1 game is required.

Have the time searching almost sorted out. Hope to have the ability to register a campaign (and thus be searchable) by the end of the week.

I had to wipe the data to support the username/passwords (which are md5 hashed so even I cannot see them). So when you guys get a chance please input some more info. Remember this is still in beta heh.

I'm having a bit of difficulty re-entering my data. I first used my handle 'Spyke' as my username without spotting that it needed to be at least six characters. I then tried Spyke_Graham, but it's now reporting that that username already exists...

Please could you clear me out (if I am in there somewhere) and please could we have 5 character usernames? (Kepli would appreciate that as well, I'm sure!)

Thanks,
Spyke
