Server Script

group based file manager. It has all the features we need, viz.
* Usr/Pw
* Filesize Limit
* Filetype whitelist
src: http://www.solitude.dk/filethingie/
It is generously styled, and weighs in at around 130KB on the server
as one php file.
Now, one problem I have with it is its implementation for users.
To add a new user it is necessary to great a group (preferably setting
it up with a separate directory so that no one sees someone else's
files), given all the code here:
$ft['users']['username'] = array(
'password' => 'password',
'group' => 'same_as_username'
);
$ft['groups']['same_as_username'] = array(
'DIR' => '/user_savegames/username',
);
The implementation is pretty simple but its pretty annoying to have
every user cram their details into a single file.
I tried to port the interface to a database, and have set up a working
database and registry page each with the following columns: id uname
pw email ip level isbanned
id is simply an auto-incrementing number, just for reference, email is
optional, but in case we ever want to set up a newsletter system or a
password forget feature. ip corresponds to isbanned, which can be
implemented later, and level can coincide with space available,
namely, if someone buys a pro version of the game can have more space
and other possible goodies.
Here is where it gets annoying, though I am sure we can solve this
somehow:
I went along to create something as follows for cycling through the
user database:
$numrows=mysql_numrows(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM user")); //select
all rows from user table
$i=0;
while ($i < $numrows) {
$ft['users']['mysql_result($user_array,$i)'] = array(
'password' => 'mysql_result($pw_array,$i)',
'group' => 'mysql_result($user_array,$i)'
);
$ft['groups']['mysql_result($user_array,$i)'] = array(
'DIR' => '/user_savegames/mysql_result($user_array,$i)',
);
$i+=1; //i++ same thing :*(
}
Looks like it should work, right? You get the point. If we get this
problem solved I would have no trouble creating a stylish HTML5/CSS3
based mobile design skin for the application, and then our only
remaining proviso would be how to get the txt file to save to the
removable media from the webview in the app (shouldn't be too hard).

It's actually working perfectly, I just put it in a bowl of rice for a few days and it came out good as new. =D.

A non-webview would be prefered since we are loading things and doing communication natively

- Registration
- 'My Files' activity that shows local downloaded demo's and possibly an icon which represents if it is backed up on their server
- Modification of 'save' button in MenuBar so as to write a unique identifier for files automatically with the hit of okay, or a specific name alloted.

Ok, this is Gurtej. I'm almost done implementing the actual client networking part in the JNI code. Basically the interface to it is to call specific functions for each command, which then parse the data and make a call to the native sendcommand() function with the number of the command. The commands planned so far are 0=save, 1=load, 2=authenticate user with pass, 3=register, 4=save custom elements. Before sending, you also have to call setUserName() with a null terminated character array and setPassword() with a null terminated character array, because each command either needs to either authenticate with the user and pass (to prevent malicious packets) or sends a user and pass to register. I'll get back to you with the syntax of the specific commands once I have them down, for now put in some placeholders. As for the actual interface, we basically need some way to browse saves, download a specific save, and upload and view your own saves. This should probably be accessible from the main menu in the beginning of the app. Let me know if you need me to tell you anything else.
