[Likwid H-Craft]

Hey Ruben what, site engine do you use? since I like to make a Minetest Mission Website like, how yours site like, but have, other theme etc.

Minetest Extensions is written completely in code by me.

Oh then is it, possble you can make me one for the mission? or should we wait for 0.4.5?

Hello ruben,
I'd like to make MinetestRemote (indev) compatible to your Modforum.
The users of MinetestRemote should be able to see some quick information about the installed mods (short description and version). How can I (we) do this?

[rubenwardy]

You would need to make the php grab a page from my site, specifically one of the api pages.

If you want another format, give details

Ok, I'll try them out. file_get_contents() should work for this :)

Btw, your link is dead: Correct one https://github.com/rubenwardy/minetest-extensions/wiki/The-APIs...
Can you do an output like in http://multa.bugs3.com/minetest/forum/api/python/getmodbyname.php?id=mesecons, but with "modname", "version" and this short description from the sidebar?

Thank you! Your project forum is just awesome! I'll start using your API in the next days (Weekend is over -> School) ;)

I don't want to go offtopic. but I need your advice. My code for running through your API for all installed mods on a server is very slow and fails with the following error:

Notice: Undefined offset: 3 in C:\xampp\htdocs\mtrem\libs\functions.php on line 66

I know what the error means, but I don't know how this can be... I call your API for every single mod and read out the text it returns. This text is written into an array. The input of the function is an array with the names of the installed mods.
The code:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

//Catch Mod Info from Rubenwardy's mod forum
    function getModInfo($mods)    {
        $output    = array();
        foreach($mods as $current)    {
            $src    = file("http://multa.bugs3.com/minetest/forum/api/table-long/getmodbyname.php?id=$current");
            $output[$current]["name"]    = $current;
            $output[$current]["version"]= str_replace("Version:","",$src[3]);
            $output[$current]["desc"]    = str_replace("Overview:","",$src[4]);
        }
        return $output;
    }


Any idea how to make it work?

Sorry, I missed changing a bit in the script, so it returned

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

Name:
Depends:
File:
Version:


when the mod was not found instead of

Cool, thx. I hope to make it work now :)

Hey ruben, I finally found out, why my script threw "undefined index" errors:

Warning: mysql_pconnect() [function.mysql-pconnect]: Link to server lost, unable to reconnect in /home/u372522788/public_html/minetest/forum/scripts/setup.php on line 44

[webdesigner97]

ok, here's the draft for my API:

mtRem calls your API: "http://blablabla/api/mtremapi.php?names=mesecons,streets,carts"
You need to split the mods and make an array out of them, then the output will be:

Name:mesecons|
Version:123|
Overview:Lorem Ipsum dolor sit amet|
###
Name:streets|
Version:456|
Overview:The quick brown fox|
###
Name:carts|
Version:789|
Overview:Minetest vs Minecraft|

The number of mods in param "names" will be variable, so sometimes there could be 1 mod or 30 mods. But with this kind of API, I just need 1 http-request :)

Edit: Oh, and pls tell me after you finished my API :)

[h]0.8 released[/h]

To do

• testing
• better like button image
• add review adder

[h]Testers needed[/h]

Before Minetest Extensions can be released to the main site, it needs to be tested extensively.

I need people to be

• intuitiveness and user interface testers (ie: adding a mod, and maintaining it, liking it)
• ethical hackers (look for security holes)
• general testers of Mt Extensions (look for bugs)
• general opinion givers.

thank you in advance to all participants.

PS: getting an error like

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

mysql_pconnect() [function.mysql-pconnect]: Can't connect to MySQL server

?
dont worry, it is just my server acting up because I have so many visitors. It is not a mt extensions error.

[Traxie21]

Ill test option one.

Minetest Extensions is back up after a night of technical changes.

It will be taken down when the python version is added to minetest.net and released
