[WEB/INFO] IPUploader v1.5 - Automatic sharing of server IP with web page [1185]

IPUploader - Spread the IP!:
Version: v1.5
BukkitDev: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/ipuploader/
This plug-in searches the servers ip and uploads it to a web page. It runs on server start and requires Internet access (Duh...)
Why? This allows easy access to the server.
The plug-in requires a PHP enabled web server.
Runs on: Java, PHP

New Instructions:
* Download the zip.
* Copy the IpUploader.jar to your minecraft server plugin folder.
* Run the server to allow the configuration to be generated.
* Open "ip.php" from the /server folder in the zip.
* Replace "EnterYourRawPasswordHere" with your password.
* Upload ip.php and ip.txt to your web server and give ip.php full permissions. (chmod)
* In your server folder go to /plugins/IPUploader and open config.txt
* Replace the url and the password with the right values.
* Save, reload the server and enjoy. (Check the log for success.)

Old instructions:

* Go to the "plugin" folder and copy the plugin to your minecraft server plugin folder.
* Run the server to allow the configuration to be generated.

* Write a password in the textbox (no numbers or special symbols allowed). Be sure to remember the password. We will need it later on.
* Click the generate button, copy the code and open "ip.php" from the /server folder in the zip.
* Replace "PasteYourCodeHere" with the code.
* Upload ip.php and ip.txt to your web server and give ip.php full permissions. (chmod)

Has anybody actually tried it?

 

Add an external download. Non-members cannot download from the forum.

 

Done.

 

Have you ever thought about something like this?

http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/req-communication-from-craftbukkit-to-webserver.20749/

You have done a similar job, first step

 

Didn't see that post That is indeed similar to what I did.

 

Could you try write a plugin which is in my request? Think about possibilities

 

Sure, shouldn't be to much work.
So, if I understand what you want it is like this
- Player sends a Minecraft chat command (/websend command arguments)
- Plugin processes it and sends stuff to PHP webpage
- PHP receives 3 GET variables (arguments, Player, and a code for checking the sender)

What happens then? Do you want to write the PHP end, or do you want me to do it.
I can do that, but then I need to know exactly what you want to do.

I'll start coding now.

 

Yes, exactly as you wrote. After submission plugin must wait for the response and send it to player.

PHP script must be transapret for us. He can do anything and this isn't important right now. Plugin will be for developers. I can write simple example PHP script for others to understand how to use this plugin.

Use POST instead GET, it's more secure (no passwords/arguments in logs).
Add configuration to plugin where you can type address for our PHP script.


After all we can use this plugin with tools like http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/me...your-own-plugin-like-functionality-935.21279/ or http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/mi...-aliases-advanced-command-scripting-860.4669/ and do many plugins in... PHP!

 

I just found out how to use POST instead of GET.
Its actually pretty easy, so I will use it!

I will provide a sample php, just to show how the variables are send to the php.

Configuration is in it already, so no worries!

 

Remember about delay between plugin and PHP. Plugin can't hang the server.

BTW Thank you very much for your help

 

Had some problems with sending multiple values trough a connection, turns out I just needed to add "&" -_-
POSTing of variables: ✔
Configuration: ✔
Security of connection (password protection): ✔
Sample php: ✔
Current values being sent: Player, securitycode, arguments.

I need to polish the plugin a bit, but after that I will release a beta (or alpha?) version.

It is now also possible to send commands from the php.

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

 

I don't know what can I say It's a great news

 

Thanks

Alpha version is ready. I will post it at your thread for testing.

 

so would this allow me to connect to my server via:

Myip.com:80 instead of myip.com:25565 ?

 

No, this allows everyone you want on your server to go to yourwebsite.com/ip.php and copy your server ip to join.

 

cool, thanks!

too bad you cant run apache and minecraft from port 80 so I could play at work

 

That would be cool, but fairly impossible since port 80 is used mainly for transferring web pages :/

 

Cant find out how it works and what it doing.

 

Do you mean you don't understand how to make it work, or what the plugin actually does?

 

What plugin actually does

 

When you play multiplayer, you need to enter the ip adress of the server to join.
Some servers have a "serveraddress.com" mask, but many don't, so you enter the ip.
I'm not sure if it is the case everywhere, but where I live, my IP address changes everytime my router resets.
Because of the change, other people can't connect without asking you for the ip again.

Now to the point: This plugin puts the ip address of your server online on a webpage on your server, so your friends, family, etc... can get the ip from there and join.

 

Hm, using no-ip services does not solve the problem? Oo

 

So, what? 2 solutions, double the happiness.

 

Hi

I get the following error regarding your plugin:

In config.txt i have set the password and url pointing to ip.php on my site, didnt touched the iploader field, also i wrote the generated PAC in ip.php and uploaded it to my site along with ip.txt

I hope i did not miss anything and you can fix the plugin.
Cheers

 

Thank you for posting the bug. I fixed it in the new version.

Instructions:
Replace old files with new ones from the zip.
Open ip.php and change the "EnterYourRawPasswordHere" with your raw unedited password.
Save and try out.

 

Thank you sir!
I tried it out and worked like charm.
Have a nice day!

 

does this work for servers hosted on, say, a desktop computer?
I'm not sure how i'd set the php side of things up.

 

The plugin for bukkit? No problems at all
The php file? If you have a php server already installed on your computer, then yes. Otherwise I think it will be easier to find a free webhost who supports php.

 

Hello, is it possible to upload ip 0.0.0.0 or text when server is stopped with /stop ? thanks you

 

The latest version should do that...
