DCP - A Download control panel/tracker and Auto-updating class

If i may add a suggestion,
I think you should have a "Copy Link" button.

This will copy the link to ur clipboard for a plugin.

Example: Mine is iWarning
It will show iWarning jar, version, downloads and then on the buttons maybe add a 5th that says Copy Link or something

 

Will do. I'm currently rewriting it anyway. It may take a bit longer than expected though. I want to do it right .

A preview of DCP v2.0.0 can be found here .
I'm currently rewriting it to be more of an actual script, and less of a pile of code.
The code will also be fully commented.

Thoughts?

The v2.0.0 won't be for today, sorry.
EDIT: I'll still release it this week, but I've had to update like 3 plugins today so I didn't have a lot of time to work on DCP...

Currently im getting OKLogger cannot be resolved.
Other than that looks aweosome.

 

My bad . Correct usage is like this:

Code:

public void onEnable(){

String name = this.getDescription().getName();

String version = this.getDescription().getVersion();

String checklocation = "http://yoursite.com/check.php";

String downloadlocation = "http://yoursite.com/dl.php";

Logger log = Logger.getLogger("Minecraft");

String logprefix = "[" + name + "] ";

OKUpdater.update(name, version, checklocation, downloadlocation, log, logprefix);

}

v2.0.0 status:
Theme: 75% done.
Login system with IP banning based on incorrect logins: 100% done.
Functions/includes/graphical resources: 90% done.
Download tracker & adder: To be ported.

I'm currently busy as hell, so I don't know how much work I'm going to get done this weekend.

 

Looks good, I'll try it in the morning.
Also if I were to credit you for the DCP what link would you want me to have linked to you.
Hope that makes sense.

 

Just this thread's link will do . http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/25141/ .

 

Thanks to this I know how many people have the new version of StyxSpace.

 

Nice. Remember: You can use http://saxxyspin.com/dcp/dl.php?id=StyxSpace&ver=latest so you don't have to manually edit the link every time . ver=latest

 

How would that work with my crazy version system? x.x_x

 

It wouldn't. It would work with x, x.x, x.x.x, x.x.x.x....

Current login screen. Any suggestions?

The lock in the background should look different. The top curvy part of the lock should extend all the way to the left edge imo.

 

That'll be hard seeing as how I didn't make these images .

Hm. Owell.

 

So eh, how are your photoshopping skills? I'm not too good at making favicons...

Edit: Current admin index:

 

Looks awesome! Let me know when new version is released i def want it RIGHT away.

 

I will . Haven't really had time to work on it lately .

 

Why are my users downloading updated to the plugin even when there's no update available?

 

Because you probably didn't set the version correctly.
Make sure the versions in the control panel are in the x.x.x format. Make sure the version in your plugin.yml is correct. If you forgot to update the version number in the plugin.yml, this could happen.
Also check if you are using the latest class file for the auto updater .

A good way to check what DCP thinks is the latest version is to go to http://<yoursite.com>/check.php?id=<yourDLname>

It'll show you the latest version & filename for that DL.

 

Thanks. It's been sucking a lot of bandwidth. I think the problem is in my plugin.yml. (I actually have the version number in there automatically updated from Maven's pom.xml file.)
UPDATE:
All fixed!

 

I don't use Maven myself. Hope you get it working, though .

 

I had the outdated version number in Maven's pom file. It should be working now, though. I updated everything.

 

You should definatley teach me javascript/jQuery or show me where you learned it. Been dying to learn how to do stuff like that.

 

I actually just got into making shitty php websites using html templates without any books. Everything I know comes from looking up stuff I wanted done on google and copying tutorials found there and stuff. You'd be amazed at how well google works for stuff like that. I now am pretty much fluent in php and stuff, and I never even had to touch a book/eBook.

EDIT: Just realized your question was about JS/jquery. I'm not going to lie to you and say I'm perfect at jQuery, because I'm not. A good way to learn jQuery is by example, assuming you already know a bit of js. I'm sure you can find loads of answered questions/code snippets for every possible jquery function/issue on stackoverflow.com .

 

Alright. Thanks

Do you have skype?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Yes, why?

 

If i added you could you maybe help me with some jQuery stuff?

 

Did you miss the part where I confessed I'm pretty bad at jQuery and just take other people's code snippets?

 

oh lol yeah i guess I did.

 

Nevermind, not working.
Here is the log: http://pastebin.com/96NDrsPR
Here is the source: https://github.com/danielhep/NetherLiquids
If you see in the log, you'll see that an IP will download it once and then update 5 times. My other plugin doesn't have this issue.

 

This is not an issue with DCP. If the latest version in DCP is a newer version than the one in your plugin's plugin.yml file, the auto-updater will download the update once. If it's already in the /update/ folder, it won't download it again.
A possible explanation is that the person is trying to move the updated .jar into his /plugins/ folder, but since the version in your plugin.yml is lower than the one in DCP, the auto-updater keeps downloading the same file.

You can fix this by making sure the version in your plugin.yml matches the latest version in your DCP. You can check what the latest version is in DCP by visiting http://<yoursite.com>/check.php?id=<yourDLname> . This is the link the auto-updater checks. If the version in this file is higher than the one of your latest plugin.yml, make sure to edit it.

Note: If you see an IP downloading the same thing multiple times at the same time, this means they are using a download accelerator to download your plugin. This does not apply to those downloads marked as minecraft updates.
