Current Wiki/CMS Situation

Post by VideoGuy »

TL;DR - Don't panic. It's probably nothing.

So I found out that asmtinfo.co.cc hasn't been accessible for some time. At first I figured it was something with the web host (being free, I don't expect 100% uptime). I went to check the control panel, since they usually post messages about technical issues there, when I got a message saying the domain wasn't pointing to the server. In English, that means it was the fault of CO.CC. So I checked my account there, and I got this:

Blocked? What does that mean? Well...

Now as far as I know, the site doesn't violate any of those guidelines, so I'm going to contact their customer support to ask them what's going on. Chances are I'll get it restored, although the process is probably going to be a bit painful.

I should probably note this is just the name that's affected, not the site info itself. All of the information is still there, we just can't access it, if that makes any sense.

I'll keep you posted here, but in the meantime I'll try and figure out a way we can still access the data, because I have no idea how long the site's going to be down.

Well, it's time I told you guys the whole story.

Remember how I thought there would be no data loss? Well, there wouldn't have been, except for the fact that the domain took so long to be reinstated, that the web host declared my account inactive and deleted it.

...yeah.

But it's still not the end of the world! I have a backup up of all the information on my hard drive, which is from...January....*sigh*. But thanks to the forum and how everything is set up, fixing this should only be a matter of going through the Signups and Requesting thread to change everything that's been requested over the last few months.

I'm hoping to have everything done by the end of the week, which unfortunately is the best I can do.

The good side of all this is that it forced Daxterspeed and I to finish up the Wiki/CMS 2.0, which is going to have a much nicer design and have a bunch of new features, which hopefully will make things easier (one of them is an auto-backup...I learned my lesson).

I can confirm these facts. How he actually forced me to do this is according to the government confidential.

There is a screenshot of it too (albeit, it's a little outdated), right here http://i.imgur.com/BIG0N.png
You'll notice that it looks way less complicated, and thanks to VideoGuy, editing this little thing should be incredibly easy.

The only difference from Jan as far as insertion data is all of my level is inserted (I am in the middle of inserting everything since the last update, but I hit a snag and had some personal issues and am behind)

Actually chdata, do you have the .png's that were originally on the story page? I think I have most of the content set, but Google doesn't cache those things, so if you have those it would be helpful.

Also if anyone has the images that were on the manual page, I could use those too.

Getting everything in a working state ended up taking a bit longer than I expected, mainly due to school taking up more time in my day than I expected. But I'm hoping to get it up by this Friday, hopefully for real this time.

Sorry for the delay everyone. :oops:

Eh, it's fine, it's fine.

It's that as soon as the new manager site is up, I'll make a 'rebirth' video, where we're basically going to official enact a strict deadline and all that, in the hopes of getting this thing the last kick in the pants it needs (if everyone is as close to finishing their level as they say, at least)

What all this situation kind of reminds me of:
A slow working computer.
Like, you get more and more stuff and then there are too many old threads and level creators don't reply anymore and then there are mods busy and then there is everyone else busy and then the CMS doesn't work anymore and lists and stuff aren't updated anymore.
And all the thign gets more and more patchy and you lose track of everything.

Know what I mean?

I hope the new CMS will weed all the old stuff out a bit and maybe have some reliable, easy to get information, instead of thousand vague suggestions and plans you have to search out of tons of posts.

I'm optimistic, A2MT will still be fun and come to completion.

Welp! There you go. It's not 100% yet, but this should give everyone access to the information they need to keep going on the project.

Now what I really need from everyone at this point is to check your own records and see if what you think you have is listed on the site. If it's not listed, don't panic. I figure I have quite a few conflicting records to fix before this thing is finalized. But hopefully this is a start.

raocow, if you want to make a video, please tell people something like that, just to check what they think they have so I can fix any incorrect information.

Please post any issues here, NOT Signups and Requesting. If you want to request something new, post it there and not here. I'm just trying to keep the process as smooth as possible, since it's a very difficult transition.

Oh man, look at that beautiful thing~!

If I can suggest something, is to have a copy of the latest baserom on the front page. But otherwise, hey hey!

I'll make a 'rebirth' video tomorrow, I'll explain that while simultaneously kicking people in the butt.

At the moment you can't, since not all of the back-end functionality is in place yet. I'll take care of maintenance for the first few days until I finish everything up, but I'll let you know when that's working again.

Wow, this will help a lot!
In the Music and Map16 tables there is almost everything pending,
I know some of the submitted levels had their music and stuff with it, so some of these are at least submitted.
It's really good that raocow read all those names, that should help more than talking to the group as a whole.

Glad to have this back up again! Though, the resource list seems to be a bit outdated, as I was going to find a few extra sprite slots for my next level and noticed that the resources I already had for that level (it was "Demo Kong Country" the current level D) weren't entered (they were on the old CMS).
So, should everyone post the resources they're currently using so it can be added to the database?

Well, I guess this goes here:

The level list still shows me having level 00D, while I actually have level 007.

Okay, so a few more updates today.

* The Lost Levels page is now fully editable. It was technically before, but now it's easier.
* I added a column saying 'Reported?' to the levels page. You can use this as a checklist, since the deadline is approaching for level progress.
* Put the progress bars back on the homepage. Keep in mind they aren't very accurate, since a whole lot of things have been submitted that aren't listed as such, but in the future they will be.

Hope this helps!

Also, regular users may want to have a look at this page. I'm going to be opening up the site soon, but I can't give people access unless they activate their accounts here.
