How to set up a PBEM tracker

[BRickAstley]

Let me know if you want an updated php file.

We don't need it now, but will need it soon, if you can send it over.

[Ruff_Hi]

Tracker file attached.

I have changed the code some ... so you will also need a new tracker game info file.  The major difference is that the code now searches the file name for the in-game name, then matches that with a human player and that is what it uses to post 'who has the save' ... it also provides a list of who is up.

Sample ...

This is a tracker for Down_at_Fractal_Rock

It's year AD-1060
Who has the save?
In-Game Name: Druff
Forum Name: Ruff Hi
10 hours, 2 minutes passed since the save has been handed on.
For Info: Last Save ... [Down_at_Fractal_Rock_AD-1060_to_Druff.CivBeyondSwordSave]
List of Upcoming Players
... Psza / academia
... Rodrigo Costa / Alvarez
... grogburg / grogburg
... Armor / Armor (Veteran)
... ricketyclik / ricketyclik

So the format of the tracker game file has changed too? Do you have a sample I can go off?

[Ruff_Hi]

In the zip file. with the php code.

In the zip file.  with the php code.

I only see tracker.php in there, not a .tracker file.

[Ruff_Hi]

@Ruff; any idea why the button to download isn't there?

[Ruff_Hi]

probably because I removed it from my version.

I am a hack coder (mostly) and some / most things I don't understand.  The d/l code was clearly something that I didn't care about and didn't try to make work.

Do you have some code from the original php version?

Edit: I found some old php code that includes the d/l feature.
