'''EnduraNet''' is a ~~database front-end~~ which ~~tracks~~ information ~~of interest~~ to the Endurance Coalition. At present, its primary function is [[Certifications|certification]] tracking. It records what certifications are available, their prerequisite, who made them, along with all members who are certified on a given certification, when a particular member's certification expires (if applicable), and so on.

'''EnduraNet''' is a web application which displays and and allows the manipulation of information relevant to the Endurance Coalition's Arma metagame. At present, its primary function is [[Certifications|certification]] and member tracking.

== History ==

: ''See also: [[EnduraNet/Release notes]]''.

EnduraNet was created by Sirdog in late April of 2025 as a project to see if he could learn how to take information in a database and present it on a public facing web page. The original goal of EnduraNet was to track certifications. Sirdog desired using a database for this so that EDC could leverage all of the benefits which come with using a database; automatic determination of expiry, highly-customizable querying of information, and so on.

A [[wikipedia:Minimum viable product|minimum viable product]] released on April 29th, 2025. Soon after, [[wikipedia:Version control|version controlling]] was introduced with GitHub~~, and SierraKomodo began to contribute to it's codebase~~. On July 1, Discord [[wikipedia:Single sign-on|single sign-on]] ~~and~~ [[wikipedia:Create, read, update and delete|CRUD]] were implemented.

A [[wikipedia:Minimum viable product|minimum viable product]] released on April 29th, 2025. Soon after, [[wikipedia:Version control|version controlling]] was introduced with GitHub.

On July 1, Discord [[wikipedia:Single sign-on|single sign-on]], [[wikipedia:Create, read, update and delete|CRUD]] operations, and Discord account based permissions were implemented. This introduced the ability for information such as members, certifications, and certification history to be changed with front-facing forms rather than manually editing the database. An administrative panel was also introduced which gave EDC leadership the means to selectively decide which members could perform what operations.

== Logo ==

A logo specific to EnduraNet was made by Sirdog to make it visually distinct from other Endurance Coalition services (such as this wiki). Inspired by the [[:File:EDCLogo.png|official community logo]], the notable differences are that the database icon replaces the NATO star, the background color was changed to <code>#200d3b</code> (dark purple) from the original's <code>#020b41</code> (dark blue), and the golden rope was flipped to go counter-clockwise.

The logo was created in [[wikipedia:GIMP|GIMP]] with all assets, aside from the one's of the ~~official~~ logo, taken from [[commons:Main Page|Wikimedia Commons]] items marked as in the [[wikipedia:Public domain|public domain]].

== Structure ==

EnduraNet is ~~stored on a MariaDB database located on~~ the ~~Endurance Coalition server inside~~ a ~~Docker image~~.

EnduraNet is primarily written in PHP with basic HTML/CSS used for styling. Ontop of this, various frameworks are used to help with particular aspects of the application's design or functionality.
