I’ve got round to automating the Password Recovery on the TINT Members Area, so if you do follow the lost password procedure you should now be sent an Email by return containing the details.
… and now, that’s the TINT Forums sorted 
I’m now getting to the end of the list of things to do on the project (this is a good thing though!), and it’s in the hands of the BETA Testers to let me know if we are go for wider release or not.
So today, I have basically worked the whole day on my side project, and got quite a way with it. A new build of the App has now gone out to the BETA testers, after ironing out some more bugs in this mornings session. Hopefully this is the last (or last but one) before live. I have also completed integrating PayPal into the sites signup, and just have to switch it from the sandbox after some more testing.
Just got to get the Forums in order now!
I have also been contacted by one of the Reps from TeamkSpeak Systems regarding integrating TeamSpeak 3 with TINT. Which is quite nice
99% there with the PayPal stuff. I actually quite like their sandbox . Too late in the day (or should that be too early?) to finish it off now…
Have got the main bulk of the signup system on the TINT Website working this evening. Only the PayPal stuff and any bugs reported in the initial implementation to go now before the website side of things is complete…
I have now (finally) got the integration between the TINT website and Mantis Bug Tracker working the same way as with phpBB.
Whilst with phpBB it was almost a pleasure, as they have created the ability to add authentication method plugins, with Mantis it’s a complete bitch as no equivalent exists. If you want to access another db for authentication details, just make sure you reset the db connection to point to the Mantis db afterwards else all hell breaks lose. The designers basically thought they would be the only database connection in the code thus put all the state tracking in a global context, and as a result do not specify resource identifiers on anything. Thus as all calls to mysql_* in PHP use the last seen identifier if one isn’t specified, if the last one seen was somewhere in your auth code… well you get the picture. That’s an OK assumption I suppose if you consider crowbarring in another auth method is technically unsupported, but still… Argh!
I’m off on holiday now, so there won’t be any more updates until 2nd week of August
Well, this evening I got the integration between the TINT website and the new Forums that go with it working, allowing users that have registered with the site to log into phpBB with the same credentials, and create a phpBB profile if one does not already exist. Now I just have to get the same working for Mantis…
I’ve just updated the website for my side project. It’s still not finished and it may completely change before it’s done, but take a look:
