[Block] Clan war points block : need idea's/help

[Heero]

Well, actualy I was thinking about a system like this (which you also created ) :
http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=22934.msg186613#msg186613

It stores data in database files, you enter it with fields which are later editable/deletable (if possible) and some other member groups can edit it.
And like the image, it should come out like this when posting (with some possible html or bbc support):

Is that more clear? ^.^

Unless you're going to have a reason to have a lot of different database things, it would probably be better to use something that is directly written for your application.

So... you want people to enter the data on a form. Who? Any member? Guests? Only moderators? Only admins?

What data do you want saved? Why do you need html or bbc support? Are there a limited number of "clans" that could be chosen from a drop-down list? Are clans always associated with a specific flag graphic?

You know, it's more work to get the information I need to write the code than it is to actually write it. I don't mean to be picky, but I'd rather write just one code, rather than to have to re-write it over and over until it fits your needs.

Okay, and I'm already glad you want to write this script .
Sorry to be bad ass, but I just thought of another row  :buck2:.
I'm trying to be more accurate so I took another picture.
It should start with such a field to fill in :

(note that I made it twice, the secondary field shows the input of the first submission which I also 'made')
As you can see, I'd like to have bbc or html for showing a flag or icon beneath it.
This would be the input and shown in different ways each :


(I didn't added 'Warcraft 3' behind the first image).

So it should be stored in the database (somehow  ).
And I'd like to have only the admin(1) and member group 18 to have the ability editing or submission.
The submissions ( second images ) should be displayed in a front page block per 5.

I thank you in advance for your help, and your effort for looking at it!

What you're looking for is a ladder script. There are a few out there if you do a search, and can add a link to the ladder page from the home page, or wherever you want.
You're asking JP to write something that is already done, and by no means easy.
I just did a search and found a bunch of them, and used to admin a gaming ladder that used them.
They work well, do a search and check them out.

Hey, that's pretty much what I'm looking for also!

I hope you get it done soon 

[Heero]

Bluto,

I've searched like hell behind such a script,
I even asked a friend (which also is busy with those things) for scripts like that,
he gave me several links, I've tryed them all out and they all didn't worked well with smf or are vulnerable.
Why do you think I came back to this topic?

I even mailed someone who made a bridge for vwar, and he gave me the following mail back :

Hi,
sorry about the late reply I dont really check leaderless any more.
I do apologise for this.

In regards to the vwar-smf script.
Since I haven't used vwar in a long time(I'm actually using my own code)
The bridge I made along time ago is broken as well since it was made several years ago and new versions of vwar have since passed.

I highly recommend not to use vwar, as it can be hacked quite easily

hopefully this answer is sufficient

regards,
feeble

I don't think it would be useless if she creates it,
I'll be using it, and I guess others too since this can be used for many other things too.
Sorry, I might be asking to write her something that does exist,
but it doesn't exist for smf yet, and that's the goal.

I've searched for ladder scripts, these 'scripts' come along with a pretty big portal, and that's not what I need.
Although, if you know anything better, please give a hint.

[Bluto]

Get what done? Go find the ladder scripts, install them, and use vWar also,(as mentioned earlier in this topic), if you want also to keep a record for your team. Here's a link to make it even easier for you.http://www.mygamingladder.com/

[Bluto]

Sorry, guess I was posting at the same time.
A ladder script is different than vWar.
And it does work with SMF. We had a loaded gaming ladder using it.
The ladder will also keep track of all stats for you.

[Heero]

I found http://www.mygamingladder.com/ before but you need to pay for it ... Pretty much.
And I really don't need a big ladder script, I know it also exists for smf, although,
I'm asking for a clan war script which only shows points and not a whole combat(ladder) system script..

[Wasdy]

vWar can be hacked with relative ease so I really wouldn't use it.
And I'm not looking for a ladder script, neither is Xarwin.
