Team LFS Setup Station

[D34N0]

I am in the process of creating a setup station for LFS setups that teams can use and have available on their own web space. It will have a user login interface, basic general & admin groups and functionality to add, rename, delete setups etc...

Many Thanks
Dean

Current Available Translations :English, German, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Croation, Icelandic

EDIT 22/08/06 - Beta Version Updated to v0.970a See Change Log File
If updating from a version prior to 0.953 you will need to run the file trackupdate.sql file in the install folder. All previous Versions need to run the file usersupdate.sql in the install folder (Remember to create a backup first)

EDIT 28/11/07 - It has been found if the PHP version on the web server is upgraded the setup station will not function properly. I have attached a patch for this. You will need to extract the file into the includes folder of the setup station on the web server.


EDIT 16/01/08 - I have attached a file containing the required files to upgrade the setup station to Patch Y specifications. View the file in readme folder first. "Always make a backup of your files before upgrading"

39.11 comments ay?
Hehe, nah looks good mate, ill be interested in it

[tristancliffe]

The comment IS 39.11 (i.e. thats the laptime the setup has acheived).

Looking good Dean, but I've told you that already.

That's a good ideia, but just a question:

- Is this for allowing people to search for a set? Or is it only for the racers to keep their sets in there (and for private use)?

It is for a team or group of individuals wishing to keep, search, add, delete setups between themselves. The admin of a setup station would allow access to individuals who would then logon to the station.

Hope that answers your question.

I'm on the Dutch translation, expect it in about 15 minutes.

Edit: done. I can imagine some translations are not a 100% correct so I hereby promise to polish the translations as soon as I've seen them in the application.

Thanks for your work, it looks very promising!

[eRaptor]

Absolutely.

That's a great concept. (kind like LFSWORLD).

Quick question: What makes it better than Inferno?

I don't mean to sound negative, but I know LOTS of peopel are already using that, it may be hard to get them to switch.

It doesn't. This is something for "teams" to use if they wish. Like when you download a setup from Inferno, then you make some slight modifications to it, you like to share it with your team. As you see from Dean's screen shot, we always give credit to who actually designed the Setup.

As well as just Setups, this also contains the amount of fuel is used at each track.

Dean's not trying to make something that beats Inferno, its just another option for Individual Teams

I'm not trying to get people to switch from Team Inferno. That site is great and holds the WR setups that the holders wish to share.

If you download a set from Team Inferno it may not suit your driving style so you either modify it or get one from someone else. This is a repository for a team or group of individuals to share their setups between themselves. The sets may not be WR Hotlap setups but race setups.

Dean

EDIT: You beat me to It Fordie

[D34N0]

I think I should clear things up this is a website application to be used by Teams or a group of individuals to store the setups they wish to share between themselves.

It will also display Setup Station members online status, when searching for a car and track combination it will display there PB, HL and the WR using LFSW Pubstats, also it will hold car & track Fuel data that the members enter.

It is NOT meant to be a competitor to the Team Inferno website as there setups are available to everyone.

THIS APPLICATION CAN BE USED WITH OTHER RACING SIMS AS WELL.

Dean

EDIT: Anyone wishing to do Translations please use the form in the first post. Thanks

D34NO, drop me a line via PM or something - I'd been working on a similar idea a while ago.

Just let me know what your idea is, and I'll see if I can contribute in some way I have stacks of PHP code here that I did for it, and whilst I'm not willing to give it away (because some of it is dreadfully inefficient), I am happy to rework some of it and let you use it, or whatever

[szyszek]

Makes sense now guys, thanks

A really good thing that it can also be used for different sims!

[Kleppa]

I've made such a system myself for Team XFR some time ago. If you would like to have a look at it just PM me and i'll see if I could digg it back up

It's a great tool for teams or groups, so keep up the good work!

[regispicanco]

SUGESTION!

Please, create CATEGORIES for the Setups. So you can have setups for:
- Hotlap
- Long Races
- Shor Races
- Drift
- Drag Racing
- etc....

Good Luck!

That may be included in a later version as would involve adding categories to the database and amending all the code and triggers to take these into consideration. In the mean time you could add in the comments Hotlap etc... and do a search to find all sets with hotlap etc.. in.

[traxxion]

Updated Dutch translation after the test, should be fine now.

[RSchumacher]

Are you still working on that Dean? Because my team and I think many others are really interested in that

It is currently at BETA 0.91 and has been attached to the First post. If anyone wishes to test and let me know of any issues it would be appreciated.

Many Thanks

Deano..

I was asked to have a quick look at this with possibility of using it on our team site, but after spending 2 mins looking at 3 files, I thought I'd drop a post here to let you know that it's insecure.

The 'addmember.tib.php' for example is open to SQL injection attacks as you don't validate the form data for anything but an empty string.

Not slating your work, but thought you and anyone else running it should be aware. Unfortunately I don't have time to go through it all or work with it, but hope this small snippet of info will help you go through the other scripts and double check for things



Regards,

Ian

Hi Ian

Thanks for that. Please excuse me if this seems a silly question as my knowledge of programming php is self taught.
I'm not sure how that would work as the file can only be opened via the include statement, the form is opened by an user that is specified with admin access set in the users table as is the same for other trigger files.

I have a problem.
If i try to add member it doesnt encrypt password and member cant login.
php is on freebsd-server and sql is mysql on linux-server.

Other things work

Hi Tunaaja

Thanks for pointing that out. I forgot to add the encryption code

To save you downloading the files again copy the file in the attached file into the Triggers folder on your server. Would you also amend the version number in the page.class.php file in the Includes folder to 0.92.

See first post

Many Thanks
Dean

[CrazyICE]

nice man, very nice

but one problem here...
can't open the ZIP file AllSetups.zip...

a error pops up:
"no valid zip archive"...

don't know why...maybe it's only on my PC...

and, you forgot to write in the install doc that the folder
setups should be chmodded 777...

/EDIT:
one thing:

Thanks, glad you like it
I've had no problems with the zip file try installing WinZip or WinRAR on your PC. Did it work after the chmod?
Will add chmod into the install doc.
Logoff by using the link called Logout it should be the First link on the left

[Lepletier]

Hey thanks!

[Tunaaja]

Did you get a valid Ident Key from LFSW? This normally happens when it is unable to connect with LFSW or more than one request (from the same PC) made to LFSW the within 5 seconds. See Tarpitting in LFSW - My LFSW settings - Pubstats

[Tunaaja]

ok. I didn´t know how that works.

I have spare complain :P
If you open www.host.com/setupstation/includes with your browser you can get sql login & password.
So i create .htaccess file at includes directory:
<Files *>
Order Deny, Allow
Deny from ALL
</Files>

OK. I have tried it on my localhost and ISP, both deny access without the .htaccess file they are running php 4.4.1 & 4.3 respectively must be a config setting. I will look into adding the .htaccess file.
