Web Based Server Admin
Web Based Server Admin
Working on the webadmin plug-in for 3.0 ( http://my.bzflag.org/w/Webadmin ), and it's coming along nicely, figured I should post some screenshots to show it off
The main page;
The chat page;
The logs page;
The vars page;
The idea is to provide a lot of what bzadmin does over a web interface.

It's a web page. I am unaware of what one would have to do to make a generic HTML page be "compatible" with those devices since they will ether draw it or not.
Nothing the pages do, "runs" on the device that views them, so it should work on anything that can show a web page.
The HTML of the pages is controlled by a template system, so each server owner could customize them for specific needs if they wish.
They are pictures of open source software, do what you will with them as long as you don't misrepresent them.

I'm not sure what you are asking.
Currently for development the plug-in checks for global groups that have ether kick and ban and allows them into the web interface. The final goal is for the interface to only show the items a user has permissions for based on there global group permissions that the server owner has set up.
This means that if you have kick, all you see is the kick page, yet if you have all permissions you see all the pages.
Users who are not in a global group with any admin type permissions would not be able to log into the system.
Users of the web interface are also not "players" as far as the server is concerned.

Again, I am having a hard time understating you. Perhaps you should proofread your posts before you send them?
The goal of this is to administer a server, not allow players to chat with each other over a web page. The chat interface shown is simply a log, and the ability for an admin to send out a server message.
Player to Player chat can only happen in game when a player connects with some kind of client (bzflag, bzadmin, bzrobts, or a server side player).
webadmin is NOT a replacement for all the possible uses of bzadmin. It will simply provide a web interface to some of the administration features of bzfs.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say "as if your an admin on a map". As far as I am aware a map file does not have the concept of "admin".

Ok. I think you are asking:
Is the web-admin compatible with the current release version 2.0.x?
The answer is no. This is currently available in Trunk (2.99.x), and will be released when 3.0 comes out. It is available for testing if you compile from the current source code (Trunk).

You can view these with an iPod Touch or iPhone just fine. They could be sped up a bit by checking for "mobile safari" and redirecting to a set of pages that are optimized for mobile safari though. Other than that, as JeffM already said, they are just web pages, If you can browse and view web pages on whatever device you have then you should be able to view these as well.lol_u died wrote:Sweet! Will this be compatible for iPod Touch or iPhone, PSP,Wii,etc.? And am I allowed to post this on my website?
Re: Web Based Server Admin
I know this topic is a bit old but one question. With this plugin working on a server will it have a logger on the server just like when you login with bzadmin a logger will appear?
Re: Web Based Server Admin
Nope. I can't even remember what all the plugin includes for features, but it would be able to access any data it needs directly though the API (chat, kills, players joining/leaving, etc).
Re: Web Based Server Admin
it keeps a chat log yes.
No it does not take a player slot, that is the point of it being a plugin.
