Gionnico: /* config.php */ +corrected

After downloading the file, you need to extract it. After that you will have to modify the config.php to suit your needs. You receive the required information for the database connection from your webhoster.
If the modification of your config.php is finished, you need to upload all files to your server. Start the install.php on your webserver by typing

http://address.of.your.webspace/path/to/galaxytool/install.php

in your browser and have a look at the screen. You should see something equal to this picture:
[[Image:Installation.gif]]

If there are any fields which are not green, you have a problem and you cannot start the installation.
After the installation you should delete the install.php and the update.php.

== config.php ==

Note you can find the file in the folder: /secret/

Go to your folder where you have downloaded galaxy tool (if you didn't download it yet go to the [[Download]] section on our page). In the folder you will find the "readme.txt" and some more files (including "install.php"). Well first we are going to find "config.php". Open in and then change the following:

$dbusername = 'username';

Write the username for your MySQL database in the quotation marks (you get the username from your webhoster).

$dbpassword = 'password';

Write the password for your MySQL database in the quotation marks (you get the password from your webhoster, too).

$dbname = 'database';

Write the name of your MySQL database in the quotation marks (again, you get the name from your webhoster).

$dbtablename = 'galaxy';

Write the name of the galaxy table (all the data like planets and coordinates) in the quotation marks. It is recommended to use a significant name like u15_galaxy to know what the tables are used for if you look in your database.

$utablename = 'user';

$playerhistory = 'playerhistory';

Write the name of the playerhistory table in the quotation marks. It is recommended to use a significant name like u15_playerhistory to know what the tables are used for if you look in your database.

$dbhost = 'localhost';

Write the address (e.g. localhost) for your MySQL database in the quotation marks. You will get the address from your webhoster.

== attributes.php ==

Note you can find the file in the folder: /secret/

Now if you have edited "config.php" it is time to edit some stuff to give galaxy tool another look. Now in the same folder ("secret") there is a file called "attributes.php". Open in and we are going to change some things:

$owner = 'yourname';

Write your alliance or OGame nickname in the quotation marks. It is shown at the login screen to show which tool you are using if you play in different univereses.

Here you can add an email address which should be shown in the FROM field of registration emails. Put the address between quotation marks.
If someone registers himself at the galaxytool, an email is sent to this address showing that someone registered and needs to be activated.
If you want to disable registering, you have to delete the register.php file.

$default_language = 'english';

Write the default language for the tool in the quotation marks.
You can choose between: german, english, spanish, dutch, balkan, french, portugues, turkish, danish, italian,polish, danish, brazil, russian, swedish or greek.

This is your Universe number.

== After installation ==

After the installation you have to delete the install.php and the update.php!

The first login:
Loginname: admin

The more links you add, the more complex the main menu will get.
You modify only the english main menu in this example. If you want to have the extension in other languages too, you need to modify their array too.

Ostat

After several requests to add links to ostat these links are integrated now.
You need to modify the ostat-server ("de" for german, or "org" for english universes).
You should always fill in the universe value, to help other users to know for which universe the tool is used. The universe is shown above the main menu if you have filled in a value.

$ostat_universe = '2';
$ostat_server = 'org';

This is an example for the english universe 2.

=== After installation ===

=== What is the Galaxytool ? ===

The Galaxytool is a stand-alone tool for [http://www.ogame.org Ogame] ©. It allows players or alliances to create and manage an image of their universe.

With this tool they can get information which ogame does not give them directly.

A list of all search capabilities:

* search for alliance tags
* search for playernames
* search only planets with moon
* search only planets with notices
* search only planets with espionage reports
* search only planets for colonisation from position X to position Y
* restrictions for galaxy or systems
* only show entries which are newer / older than a specific date
* only show entries which have more than X metal, Y crystal or Z of both in its debris field
* capability to choose the sort order
* search for player status - inactive, banned or vacation mode
* search for players in the top X (score or fleet)
* parameter to select how many entries should be shown on each site
* mark alliances as enemy, friend, wing ally and many more
* update your data with the firefox toolbar
* sort the statistics as you like
* integrated registration process
* get a new password with email if you lost it (needs email support at your webserver)
* detailed user information to show who is very busy or who is sharing his account
* shoutbox for internal communication
* and many more ...

=== Legality ===

This tool is absolutely rule-consistent because it never uses resources or other things from ogame directly! We asked people from the ogame staff directly if the tool and the toolbar are 100% rule-consistent - and they ARE!

The player / alliance has to update the information manually.

But this can be done very comfortable with copy and paste of the required information (galaxy view or espionage report). Then pasting the data in a text area of that tool and thats all. The tool will do the rest and analyze the data and its content to make it searchable.

Requirements

2006-12-04T14:29:32Z

Gionnico: even better wikilink

===Requirements===

You will need a webserver with [http://www.php.net PHP] and [http://www.mysql.com MySQL] support to run this program.
There are several free hosting companies which have this support but they have a lot of advertising.
The requirements for your webserver are pretty low. About 10 MB should be enough to store 9 galaxies and some notices and espionage reports.
For PHP you need at least version 4.3. MySQL requires Version 4.0.x (maybe it is running with 3.x).
Users who want to use this tool just need a web browser as they know it from Ogame. It is recommended to use Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Epiphany or the IE to insert data into the database!
Opera does not copy tooltips with copy and paste which are required. Konqueror copies the galaxy view with LOTS of empty lines which makes it nearly impossible to analyse it. So these two browsers are not supported by this tool!

If you are not familiar with those things you can use the hosting offer at [http://www.galaxytool-hosting.eu/register.php www.galaxytool-hosting.eu]. You cannot modify the sourcecode there, everything else works as usual! You do not need to update the galaxytool there, it will be done automatically for you.

===Overview of hosters===
For a overview of webspace hosters offering both PHP and MySQL and user experiances with hosting a galaxytool there you can look at the table of [[hosting providers and the Galaxytool]].

===Other Requirements===

You will need a lot of time, or an active alliance which supports you filling the database.
With the help of the Javatool you can copy a whole galaxy within 30 minutes.
If you want to use the Javatool, you need at least a [http://java.sun.com Java Runtime Environment] (JRE) 1.4.2 on your PC to start the program.
You need Mozilla Firefox to use the [[Toolbar]] which updates the systems and the statistics you are viewing. Without the [[Toolbar]] the statistics and alliance statistics cannot be updated!
