I try to record all of my plays on boardgamegeek.com and so do many of my friends. The thing is: it's tedious, and there's no relationship between players. So if I record a game with Landon, he'll have no record of it and will have to duplicate the play in his profile
So, I'm trying to make something that simplifies the process
I can grab your profile info, but that's it so far. And on top of that, as soon as you type your bgg name in to the registration form, it runs off and verifies it, AND it will fill in your name for you
So I don't know how you plan on logging in as specific users... and granted this may not leave your circle of friends if you guys even use it
But maybe instead, have some sort of messaging system when people create plays that include other members. Those members get notified and they can "confirm" they were there, type in their password as a one time use thing, and then it does your magic
I'm just trying to think of ideas around storing BGG passwords in your db
yeah... pretty much. But to answer the question, if my database has a 2-way encrypted version of their pass, I can use curl to log in to bgg and get a cookie that I can use with a post
There are other ways, like sending emails to all involved parties and getting them to type their password on demand, which I've thought about doing
well... I'm off to slaughter some noobs in BF3. ttyl
That was my initial thought, but it's supposed to be like, you have 24 hours to do everything, then it'll calculate everything. So it might be a large calculation. Depending on the amount of players as well.
@William'MindWorX'Mariager yeah since I went with Windows hosting I don't get cron jobs but I know what @JohnMcDonald is talking about.
I think SQL server has some scheduled task functionality but I don't know what the host provides to us. You could investigate that and see if it fits your needs
@William'MindWorX'Mariager so if that works for you we will unfortunately need to coordinate making those changes to the system. What would obiously work best for now if you go this route is just to manually visit the page yourself. Once you've got something you like we can schedule it.
@ToddersLegrande Thanks a lot for checking up on it. I'll just use the web scheduler site I found for now. If I need a more permanent solution, I'll let you know.
stupid 9gag another pokemon post forcing me to reconsider making pokemon mmorpg
and now with totaly broken grindfest code, since i remade it to be more like diablo if i stop i cant ever return since i wouldnt know what i was doing :)
that was the only decent icon I managed to find :( it would've looked a bit weird flipped vertically, because the fire would've seemed to descend towards the base lol
I often find that i can answer a question partially, can help steer people in the right direction or provide a link with more information. These things however are almost never good enough for a full answer and are better posted as comments.
However, i don't have enough reputation to comment.

@Gajoo freelance projects are great, and you'll certainly land some that will earn you more than 3$ per hour. In case things go well, you can go with full time freelancing.
