I'd love to join in on NWN or any other WPLUG gaming group. Hmmm... if there's enough interest in this we should put together a gaming section for WPLUG.org -- forums, gaming events, tournaments, top scores. I could even host it temporarily on my site. jaaron __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier.

Depending on who is in the group, we might have Mark D. explain what is setup already, what's available, etc. Whatever he thinks will be useful. If it's just me and him, we'll talk about the Great Enchilada. I'm thinking around 12:30ish. If you can't make it, don't worry, we'll assign the harder tasks to you. :) -james From jmkramer at andrew.cmu.edu Tue May 6 20:17:45 2003 From: jmkramer at andrew.cmu.edu (Jay Kramer) Date: Tue, 6 May 2003 20:17:45 -0400 Subject: [wplug-web] members database Message-ID: I Have most of the wplug online members database together. Now I need to know the basic format (i.e., what input info and what output) How will this database interact with users and administrators. Originally the database is designed with perl and mysql. Once it is functioning OK, I'll begin to migrate to tcl and OpenACS. Please give me a few ideas on the basic input, output, administrative structure.

You can see if the currently logged-in user is the owner of their member info (e.g. the user id is the same as the column used to join with the user tables), or is an administrator. If so, you can present an admin page for editing the info(e). > Once it is functioning OK, I'll begin to > migrate to tcl and OpenACS. excellent. The basic data models should be easily transportable. Postgresql has real referential integrity, which you can take advantage of. Probably the best first-step would be to look at Joel Aufrechet's tutorial: http://openacs.org/doc/openacs-4-6-2/tutorial-newpackage.html He covers making a package (you can ignore the stuff regarding CVS and docmentation), making a table that hooks into acs_objects (the basis of permissioning), writing query files, and also using the templating system (specifically ad_form, which is a really easy way to do html forms) Cheers, ++md From Spenglercs at aol.com Fri May 23 16:51:24 2003 From: Spenglercs at aol.com (Spenglercs at aol.com) Date: Fri, 23 May 2003 16:51:24 EDT Subject: [wplug-web] return links Message-ID: <1ec.972a5e1.2bffe3cc@aol.com> Thanks for correcting the aol problem.
