Web Interface

[wildex999]

Having the printout and control through the chat is a pain, so I'm going to implement a simple web interface that will show all the info, and allow configuration.
Should be much better than writing chat commands, given that you have a free port on the server.

Ideas:

• Web UI with automatically updating overview of performance and stats
• Graphs for different Worlds and/or Groups
• Ability to change settings in the UI
• Dump stats to pastebin service

implement a simple web interface that will show all the info, and allow configuration.

Suggestion: Have the web server port able to be defined via config option, Some of us use iptables so we will need to create a rule to allow connection to that particular port.

Yeah, that was the plan =)
I fully understand that a static port might be a problem, especially if you are running the server on some shared server with other users.

Another suggestion;
As you'll be moving to a full web UI what about adding in the option to output various results via a paste service?

Use Past.ee to be able to share stats instead of having the need to take screenshots.

Past.ee has an API, and the past.ee option can only be "active" once a user has set their own API key in. http://paste.ee/wiki/API:Basics

[wildex999]

Not a bad idea. I'll probably add a simple chat command "/tickdynamic pastebin all" for when not using the web UI, and then a more complex version in the web UI.

I suggested past.ee as via the API you can post pastes up to 12MB in size. I am unsure of what limitations that pastebin.com has as I don't even look at pastebin.com anymore after I discovered and use past.ee thanks to MultiMC
