EnduraNet: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 06:22, 3 July 2025

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 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 minimum viable product released on April 29th, 2025. Soon after, version controlling was introduced with GitHub.

On July 1, Discord single sign-on, 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 official community logo, the notable differences are that the database icon replaces the NATO star, the background color was changed to #200d3b (dark purple) from the original's #020b41 (dark blue), and the golden rope was flipped to go counter-clockwise.

The logo was created in GIMP with all assets, aside from the one's of the EDC logo, taken from Wikimedia Commons items marked as in the public domain.

Structure

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.


Framework	Purpose
Bootstrap	Various user-interlace components, such as forms, buttons, modals (e.g pop-ups with buttons), etc.
Datatables	Tables which come with the ability to sort and search without the logic having to be written manually.
Select2	Dropdowns which come built-in with search functionality.
Font Awesome	Icons.
Tailwind CSS	Various pre-built CSS classes.
jQuery	A JavaScript library primarily used by the other used frameworks as a dependency.

-'''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.
