MyHabbo Panel - The ultimate fansite radio DJ panel

[LMS16]

Hey guys! =)

Im unsure where to post this so if its in the wrong forum then please move, dont flame :).

Anyway Im here to bring you some information on "MyHabbo Panel", basically I was sick of the current DJ panels around today, some are insecure, lack features or are just messily coded. I then heared someone say "Well make your own DJ Panel then if you are not happy with this one blah blah..", so as you can see I did just that.

I have been working on this panel for little over 2 weeks now and is coming on pretty good, I have tried to make it easy to access, easy to use, good features, well coded and secure.

I have been reviewing other panels, forums, websites and asking fansite owners what they would like to see in a panel and i have tried my best to get all of these features into the panel.

There is going to be more releases such as 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 ect.., since the first release of most things is the worst. I will keep imporving it.

Ok, so your probably looking for a features list and what % i have done of it.. well look below:

Main panel

It shows different text for different ranks
View notices - 100%

Ok, so theyre all of the features up to now, unless ive missed some out...

MyHabbo Panel is pretty secure, nothing is 10000000% secure but at the end of the day its a DJ panel, if someone does manager to hack it, what are they gonna get out of it? sending an alert to the visitors saying "You effin this ect.." no -.-

Oh another thing is, if the user is already logged in and their account is deleted, banned ect they will be logged out of the panel on their next refresh.

If you have any questions, ideas or you think i missed something out then please leave a message :):) leave any comments you have.

[Blob]

[iDenning]

Maybe add a function for the admins to be able to kick current dj off air?

[Fehm]

it seems so much like every other panel on the market. Sorry dude

[LMS16]

Cover up your URL's more.

http://myhabbo.venohost.com/login.php

WOW! You found my test site :) nothing to hide, im gonna set up test account shortly.

And i know this panel is obvs gonna be liek other panels, and its not on a market cos am not selling? Its just a project i guess, if people use great if not, ok.

Will be done in like a week, i have school again :/

[VirtualG]

Sounds great, the only thing I dont like is the whole thing is only used for Habbo, unless I go through and edit the images which I dont want to do.

[HabboTFM]

Yeah , i want a test account man :D

[Trinity]

Three things.
First, can I see some code samples please? Just to prove that it's as well coded and secure as you say.
Second, a very basic template system would be a good idea, then people like VirtualG will be pleased too.
Third, well I forgot what the third point was supposed to be.

Yeah sure, when i first started the project i wasnt sure weather cookies or sessions were more secure, so i chose cookies. Im in the process of changing it all to sessions ect.. and ill post a sample of the main page when its complete :)

K depends how you've done the cookies. They can be secure...

As long as you're not storing the id of the user in the cookie. Or if you are then store a unique ID that is needed in the cookie that perhaps regenerates every / every few loads and they need that unique id in their cookie to be logged in or w/e.

Yeah i spose. Im sure ill figure a way of doing it..

Im gonna be at school soon so release will be delayed.

[Tomm]

If you can't figure that out for yourself I have serious doubts as to how well coded this project will be - especially after you critised other work. While I have no problem with your project and wish you success i'd prefer that you don't criticise other people's work for issues that you don't have sufficient knowledge in.

You just described how PHP sessions work, to some extent, (Soring the session ID in a cookie - default method) with session_regenerate_id which is a fundermental part of securing your application and should be called when the client's privileges are escalated. The session ID identifies the session data that PHP should use, therefore you need to make sure the supplied session ID is not stolen; changing the session ID, checking the IP address of the client and securing your application from XSS attacks are all essensial parts of PHP application security and will help prevent stolen session IDs being used to masquerade as authenticated clients.

Thanks for the advbice guys, im still learning as i go along.

Yeh :) That was a pretty insane explanation. Yeh I always regenerate the session id and have it in the online users table. If IDs don't match then log the user out and in some cases log it in an error table.

[Shibby-Shabs]

Any BETA releases or test accounts?

[Shcl]

has dis been released yet :p

[Shibby-Shabs]

Hello, any updates?

[DJ-Ains.T]

Same, update us!! :)

[LMS16]

Right, update for ya.

The name has changed to "Bobba Panel", all images are in .gif format (decreases the load time), made the panel run on SESSIONS rather than COOKIES for added security, completly new layout.

I am currently looking for any ideas you may have for the panel. :)

Previews:

[Jack!]

Any demos or anything?

and is it your test site still :P??

[Agnostic Bear]

all images are in .gif format (decreases the load time), made the panel run on SESSIONS rather than COOKIES for added security

gif images only decrease load time if they're smaller and sessions aren't more secure than cookies, they're just more convenient.

[Tomm]

They are more secure in the aspect they can't be directly modified or viewed by the client, although that security depends on the security of the script and the server. Although as I pointed out before if the session ID is comprised and allowed to be used by another client then that user can impersonate the other client and gain access to privileged resources (Unless you prevent this using methods I specified previously). Also using sessions means you can trust the session data (Assuming you've secured the session ID and other vectors) rather than cookies which are strictly untrusted.

[x-glow]

And we can trust u? Scince I did pay for 3 layouts and got 1?

[LMS16]

At end of the day, its a dj panel. If anyone is sooo low-life to try and hack a dj panel then they sriously have issues...

Its a pretty fast scripts, alot of features and pretty secure. Its a free script at the end of the day, i have taken MY spare time to make this script and i aint gonna be messing around with stuff to make it 110% secure or anything.

Im still looking for ideas, anyone?

And x-glow, what do you need to trust me on?

[DJ-Ains.T]

I think the features you've got are enough?

[LMS16]

Yeah, but I was wondering if any other people had any other ideas for the panel ect...?

[Shibby-Shabs]

lol its Version 1 (BETA), security isn't going to be 205% wait for newer updated versions

Suggestions:
Content Management System (CMS)
Version Check Page

I think you should also release the same version tho different images for a non habbo version.

[x-glow]

Lewie? IM ben!!! the 1 whpo paid for layouts and never got them! and got my master reseller for 1 week and then u stopped it!

[MrCraig]

Ben, this thread has NOTHING to do with what you did or did not recieve so stop getting your jollies out of trying to destroy other users reputations on public threads and just PM him!
The maturity of some people on this forum really does leave a lot to be desired.

On-Topic:
Good luck with it Lewie, Except i really have a thorough hatred of habbo-related things containing the word "Bobba", myHabbo Panel sounded better a mon avis :)

[LMS16]

Good luck with it Lewie, Except i really have a thorough hatred of habbo-related things containing the word "Bobba", myHabbo Panel sounded better a mon avis :)Thanks for your thoughts ect.. but Im gonna stick to the name. At the end of the day people will edit the panel logo ect so no1 is gonna be bothered what its called.. You could say that "Bobba Panel" is only seen when downloading it.


Lewie? IM ben!!! the 1 whpo paid for layouts and never got them! and got my master reseller for 1 week and then u stopped it!Ben, you seriously "P" me off, I always got a message from you "whens this gonna be done", "whens that gonna be done"... I told you i was getting "P"'d off with you and you carried on therefore, blocked you.


Suggestions:
Content Management System (CMS)
Version Check Page

I think you should also release the same version tho different images for a non habbo version. When you say CMS what do you mean? News system? Staff alerts? Explain pls :). The version check is shown in the welcome page for users with the admin rank. They can then go to the panel status for more information when I will externally make posts about updated, releases ect that is shown in the panel.
As for the non-habbo version, I think I will release that when I release V2 as there will be more bug fixes, I wont have to update EVERYTHING in both panels... makes it quicker for me.

Expect to see the panel shortly. Only got liek 50 more pages left to do lol.@

Lew.

[Shibby-Shabs]

When I said CMS I meant it so you could like run your website on it. for example have a setion for adding pages, deleting pages, editing pages and then with all the links you add them into your template (PHP-Includes) this way for staff such as Events Staff they update their events list and content management staff can update content.

See where I'm getting at?

[VistaBoy]

Ben, you seriously "P" me off, I always got a message from you "whens this gonna be done", "whens that gonna be done"... I told you i was getting "P"'d off with you and you carried on therefore, blocked you.


Well that's very poor as if someone paid for something they should get it. if they don't that would be called stealing or something

If they keep bugging you just tell them it is coming. and update them often tell them how it is coming.

(paid jobs should come before free ones) ;)

Off topic, this is a release. PM him or something, the rest of us don't give a dam.

[ThisNameWillDo!]

Why not make it for all radio sites, not just Habbo fansites? Make different templates, one for Habbo, one for normal sites.

[LMS16]

Well, yeah. It sounds good actually, a templates system isnt that hard to make tbh...

I have alot on at school atm, so im gonna make a new design or use either the original "MyHabbo Panel" design or the "Bobba Panel" design for the habbo one and then design one for the non habbo one.

Your choice.

[Shibby-Shabs]

I found your twitter ;D
Following you

[Flick0rz]

Any updates for this?

[LMS16]

Yes, it has been named "Jooh DJ Panel" as my portfolio website is Jooh.co.uk.

I have made a simple templates system for it so you can make edit/update any templates ect...

Ive made it more secure ect...

Nice one.

[LMS16]

They were free icons of a website, i havent seen that site until now. I didnt copy.

Lew.

[DJ-Ains.T]

How far until released?

[Shibby-Shabs]

He's got no set date and hes redesigning, and it looks much better. He also has renamed it again so it rolls off your tongue easier.

[Blob]

He also has renamed it again so it rolls off your tongue easier.

It only rolls of your tounge easier because it actually sounds like Jew.

[Shibby-Shabs]

Lol true.

[LMS16]

This panel is no longer a habbo based dj panel

You will be able to make habbo templates for it ect and i may release a script to make it so you ca have their habbo name ect... but its default is non habbo.

Thats very nice to hear!

From the progress page, make sure you concentrate on the important things. Things like the DJ Guides people may want to personalise to there taste, I really think the PIN idea is good, i guess this has not been started yet as there is no %?

Oh and i signed up to this forum because i knew id be able to find DJ Panels and discussion of internet radio :P I used to play habbo a while back, my radio now is for a gaming community i have set up. Hearing it is not habbo themed is even better now! :D

[LMS16]

yeah, since it has a templates system the guides can be editted via editting the templates ect...

And % wise, its around 20% complete atm...

Lew.

[Flick0rz]

Are you able to post any sneek previews or is it being kept quiet until release :P?

[LMS16]

Let me get my hosting back up cos there was a fire at the bloody data centre so i need some more hosting, wont be long then ill post some screenies..

Lew.

[LMS16]

Please merge...

A sneak preview of the login and the panel its self (NOT FINISHED)

Leave comments, note: the design aint complete yet...

Lew.

[Mickword]

that looks smexy!

[Flick0rz]

It looks good, will you be adding some padding to the section with

Mail Account Help

Just something that bugs me seeing no paddings for the text

Is that the actual coded panel or is this your template with text/images on it to show us what it will look like?

[LMS16]

Its is partly coded and as i said it aint finished lol, and the tamplates are customisable anyway lol

Lew.

[Flick0rz]

Sweet, very excited to see how this turns out, keep up the work! :)

[MisturMan]

Looking good so far buddy. Try work more on the actual script rather than the design, remember, a DJ panel is back-end, to me, back-end things don't have to look nice as public eyes won't be seeing it.

[mcnicholas10]

how long untill release?

[Cutter]

this looks great, do you have any idea when it'll be out?

[Meti]

I think it sounds allright. HOWEVER the design isnt't really the best.
