New, Improved PEQ Database Editor available (beta)

[mystic414]

Information about the official PEQ Database Editor has a new home over on the ProjectEQ Forums at http://www.projecteq.net/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=29.

I posted a guide to installing Apache/PHP on Windows, as well as an Installation Guide for the Editor itself. Hopefully that will help out anyone who wasn't able to use the editor because they didn't know how to set things up.

Please check it out, and post any comments/suggestions/bugs with the editor over there, where it will be easier to keep track of.

For everyone's convenience, I still plan to post here about significant upgrades to the editor, but let's use the other forum for discussion of anything else editor-related.

Thanks!

Very well done! This tool really makes it easy to dig into the database and make changes and customize things. It's also nice to get a better view of things from the database and their interactions, like faction is so much easier to understand through this tool, just the presentation of information alone is worth a look!

Thanks, keep up the good work!

Just need to add Config.ini in archive , because Peq_backend.php don't work and default login and pass is huge backdoor :p i want make some user login and pass
How i can change admin login and password ?

This editor is wonderfull, i can win many time in my db editing Many many many thanks to you

[mystic414]

Sorry, the .zip file had an old version of peq_backend.php in it. It's been fixed if you want to redownload it. Otherwise, just change line 7 of your peq_backend.php from config.ini to config.php, and that will fix the problem.

The default login/pass is there for convenience for those who only use the editor on their local computer (not over the internet). If you don't want it there, just edit config.php and change

$login_name = 'admin';
$login_pw = 'password';

to

$login_name = '';
$login_pw = '';

peq_backend.php will let you remove the default login to the editor and add a different one.

That work fine, many thanks

ok i've setup webserver and php now when i try to run peq_editor.php in browser i get the following errer

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in g:\Archive\Brads\peq\peq_editor.php on line 448

if i am correct this is the line corrosponding to the error
<td colspan=\"2\" align=\"center\"><br><div class=\"table\"><a href=\"peq_editor.php?guest=login\">Click here to login as a guest</a></div></td>

[mystic414]

KhaN: Don't know C++, but the editor's open-source so feel free to do what you want with it :P

bushman77: I don't know what that error is complaining about. But, please try replacing line 448 with:

<td colspan=\"2\" align=\"center\"><br><a href=\"peq_editor.php?guest=login\">Click here to login as a guest</a></td>

and let me know if that gets rid of the error.

Thanks for the feedback, all!

Any time i create, edit, delete, or otherwise alter a tradeskill recipe via the tradeskills page, i get the following error (this one is after creating a new tradeskill):

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at d:\htdocs\peqeditor\header2.php:7) in d:\htdocs\peqeditor\peq_lib\tradeskill.php on line 746

I googled the error and most of the things i found said it could be due to something simple, like an extra space or newline around the <? and ?> tags, so i removed any instances of this condition, but that didn't help.

The error occurs in every function for tradeskills in the call to header(). I tried a few things, but I'm not getting anywhere. Has anyone else experienced this error?

EDIT - This problem has been resolved in the current release of peq editor. Please disregard.

thanks

hey , sorry to bother but I have apache installed no prob but when I go to install PhP it says "Error trying to access the local web service:GetObject Failed, You will need to configure IIS via the mangment console" Well I dont know what that means nor can I find any managment console to even try to fix it lol, When i go to look at the peq_editor.PhP file in firefox browser its just a jumble of words , guess its not showing my PHP . So what do i need to do here?

[mystic414]

Sakrateri: Uninstall PHP from Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel. Then reinstall it, and when it asks you what http server you have installed make sure to select Apache (IIS is selected by default I believe).

Once that's done, edit your httpd.conf file for the Apache server and add the following lines anyplace in the file (just change "c:/php/" in the following code to where you told it to install PHP):

# PHP stuff
ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"

Hope this helps

Ok , thanks alot Mystic. I will try that soon as I get home today.

[Sakrateri]

Ok i did that , have the same thing , Whats a public HTML directory? mabey thats the problem?


If i click on header2 a screen comes up that looks nice, like a web page , and has some links on the side like faction , looteditor and such and i can click them but then it says the file /c:/peq_editor.php?action=18$url\cannot be found. please check the location and try again.

but if i click peq_editor.php it just looks like a note pad of jumbled stuff

[mystic414]

1. Search your httpd.conf for "DocumentRoot". That is the directory out of which Apache will serve your web files. You need to put all the files for the editor in there.

2. Make sure Apache is running (should be a shortcut somewhere in your start menu that says something like "start Apache in console").

3. Open your browser and type "localhost/peq_editor.php" in the address bar. That should be all you need to do if you sourced the sql files into your database and edited config.php properly.

[Sakrateri]

Ok Im sorry, I did that and when I type that in the address bar I get

The requested URL /php/php.exe/serverstatus.php was not found on this server.
and then under that it says: Apache/2.0.54 (Win32) Server at localhost Port 80

appriciate the help , this looks like a great thing to have , soon as I can get it working.

UPDATE: Ok , there was no application named php.exe, it was php-cgi.exe , I renamed it to php.exe and now i am getting this when I type in the address bar what you said to put

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\peq_lib\database.php on line 8

This is what is on line 8 of that file

$link = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass);

Im not sure what the prob is there though now ?
