    Forgot to remove the hyperlink in this thread.
    I will edit the thread to prevent confusion.

    Only authorized players can update shops using the mod now. Please apply here if you would like to do so.

    Working on changes for v1.0.4a
    • Server-side code changes to track and manage tokens assigned to players for updating shops, adding new shops, etc.
    • Creating tokens for players who are authorized
    • Distributing the mod and tokens to players whom are authorized to modify shop boundaries
    [​IMG]
    The additional detail modal on the items table will show the player who last updated the shop.
    This is determined by the token used when using the mod to update.

    Preparing to release v1.0.5
    • Added support for Main East!
    • Bug fix: Removing shops will now also prevent the shops' items from showing up after search.

    Expect down-time up-to 30 minutes.

    is there a plan at add a "report this shop" feature in the works for the site? there have been a couple times when I have gone to a shop where the chest is no longer there and it would be nice to be able to get it taken off of the database if you know what I'm saying.

    I can add this.
    For now just use the 'Add a Shop' contact, fill out the shop information, then in the description just state which sign(s) are not there, or if the owner is inactive, etc.

    I'm currently working on completely revamping the UI for ShopDB.
    Here's my progress so far:


    (Video) demo:


    Homepage (header)
    [​IMG]

    Homepage (statistics) *using sample data
    This will be updated real-time when these values change!
    *This data is retrieved from my local development box, and is not actual data on the website.
    [​IMG]

    Homepage (helpers) *incomplete list, just showing the layout
    *This is just the layout, still need to work on getting the full list of helpers
    [​IMG]

    Search (item selection)
    [​IMG]

    Search (results)
    [​IMG]

    Navigation
    [​IMG]

    Footer
    [​IMG]


    There is still a lot of development work to do on this.
    I'll update this thread regularly with the status of the project.
    Hoping to have this done for peak-time (summer break).


    TODO:

    • Expandable row filled with additional shop information (coordinates, last updated, etc).
    • Implement page with a list of shops and shop analytics.
    • Add contact forms for requesting that a shop be added/removed and for bug reports.
    • Create page for viewing recent searches.
    • Create documentation page(s).

    If anyone has suggestions, now is the time that I am available to implement them! :)

    Edit: Oh, and if there are any good graphic designers out there, I'm in need of a better logo. The one I'm currently using is not permanant, just one that I scrapped up to get started.

    @Kozz considering the implementation of TravelBags and thus the ability for some to transfer between servers easily, have you considered adding a 'all servers' button and having it simply explain which server for those of us who can buy from anywhere and just want the best price overall.

    This will be included in the next rollout.

    Update on status as of 05/03/2020

    COMPLETED:
    • Created page to view all added shops.
    • Created page to view recent searches.
    • Created authorization and authentication flow (users, sign-in, permissions, etc) using Auth0.
      • Helpers (those updating shops) and Moderators (those adding/removing/maintaining shops) will be able to register on the site.
      • This will give them access to a custom admin panel where they will be able to create/update/delete shops.
      • All modifications to shops, as well as recent updates, will be visible to all other helpers and moderators to keep track of which users are updating/modifying which shops.
    • Helpers and moderators will have access to download a configuration file which grants them access to update shops with the mod. All updates are linked to the user and will be monitored for potential abuse.

    Shops Page:
    [​IMG]

    Recent Searches Page:

    User Authentication and Authorization
    *The pages in the helper panel are still under development.[​IMG]

    It will actually be on the front page!
    Check out the intial video I posted as the demo for this makeover.

    (This is just how the layout will look like, and not a current/accurate list atm).

    If there is say, <15 helpers/moderators, I will keep it on the front page.
    If the list gets exhaustive, I may dedicate that section to its own page.

    Also, there is no current list right now of moderators that we are able to see? Like on the forums or elsewhere?

    COMPLETED:
    • Created personalized section for helpers (top of the helpers panel)
    • Separated moderator / helper pages/priveledges.
    • Panel (for helpers + moderators) showing the last updates made to shops with the mod.
    • Panel (for helpers + moderators) showing the last modifications (add, edit, delete) on shops.
    • Workflow for creating new shops completed.
    • Workflow for editing existing shops completed.
    • Workflow for removing shops completed.

    Created Personalized Section for Helpers/Moderators (top of the helpers panel)

    Separated moderator / helper pages/priveledges:
    [​IMG]

    Panel showing the last updates made using the mod
    Showing the last updates from within game using the mod - used to prevent abuse and as a shout-out to the helpers!
    [​IMG]

    Panel showing the last modifications made on shops (adding, editing, deleting)
    See the last modifications that were made on shops - used to prevent abuse and as a shout-out to those moderators who are helping out!
    [​IMG]

    Workflow for creating + editing + removing shops completed (video)
    I will be adding confirmation messages to prevent moderators from accidentally removing shops, etc.


    There is not a list currently. I will work on creating one :)

    P.S -
    I know I've been a bit behind on adding new shops lately. I've been working real hard on this.
    I'll play catch-up on these tomorrow or Friday.
    When v2 rolls out, there will be more than just me adding shops so this won't be a problem anymore :)
