Character Sheet Database

[Adin]

Alright, this is a little bit more complex then the last idea i had.

What i need is a tool that allows users to add D&D, AD&D, Werewolf or Vampire Character sheets to the Database. My idea is to add it to the profile sort of like the Bio mod.

The Character sheets will only contain text and numbers, but will most likely contain many fields. The various sheets should then be listed in the users profile, so you can easily browse them.

Anyone willing to help me with this ?

if this is for YaBBSE, then just take a look at the Bio Mod for example, and add more fields in the profile page and columns in the database

That wouldn't do, since people tend to have more then one character.

They all need to be listed and be editable.

well... the current template system allows you to add additional fields to the user options no problem, which can then very easily be displayed under the users profile or whatever...
For this reason you could make multiple sections and stuff for multiple character sheets... but you'd probably want to make it more as a mod to give you more control over layout and the database...
I guess it'd really depend on what you want exactly... if you gimme a detailed example when SMF is released then I'll surely give it a try as a mod ^_^

Well i think it'll be a rather long time before i actually start to use SMF. My board is supermodded and unless i don't  give up all the mods, i'll have to wait for a proper converter.

I'll look into YabbSE in the meantime ... maybe i can figure it our myself ...

for such a large mod... I'm afraid I couldn't be bothered doing one for YaBBSE
too much time... and not really enough point imo coz most people will be moving to SMF.
Thoughts about the design would be as follows tho:
extra column in members table 'chars' for the number of character profiles, and perhaps 'charssel' for the selected character (if you wanted users to be able to have one selected or something).
then an extra table, where it has "memID" for the member's ID... that way you could just include and extra profile editing page called 'edit characters', and get it to pull stuff of that database where memID = the the members ID.
Other than that additional things would be having their character sheet change dynamically with their actions on the forum....

On second thought, it would be pretty idiotic to do the mod on yabbse unless i want to use that forever

Alright. Lets do it on SMF once it out

[Tyris]

heheheh, well... if you're interested in designing the input and output as well as some specifications on where everything goes and how it interacts (if it does), then I'd be glad to help out when my exams are over (about when SMF will be launched I'm hoping)

[Adin]

Alright, i'll work on that.

Thx for the offer ^^... again
