PLEASE READ THE UPDATE BELOW. The main post is no longer relevant.
Hello.
I hope I'm posting this in the right place. If not, please move this.
Me and my friend made a basic website for our "corporation" in an online game. It is basically used as a forum for the members of our corp.
Our corp is set up as a military state where everyone has assigned roles, ranks, and even badges and medals.
Now we need to set up a database, such that every member can come in, type in his/her username in the search box, and be presented with a screen that contains all his/her relevant info, rank, and the picture of a corresponding badge/medal. Nothing more, nothing less.
Problem is, I don't know how to do that!
I don't even know the basics of creating a simple HTML website.
Is it possible for me to accomplish the task described above within 1-2 weeks? Can I just read some simple tutorial and do this fast? I don't need anything fancy or flashy. I only need a simple site with a database for our members.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, and tell me where I can find some tutorials online that will help me?
Thanx in advance for your help.
Update:
It turns out that I might not necessarily need a database. I spoken to my friend and, all we really need is a page that does the following:
User comes in and is presented with "Enter your name" window. He enters his name, and on the next page he sees all badges and ranks that we have in the corp with checkboxes next to them. The user checks the badges, medals and ranks that he currently has. When that is done, he clicks next and it presented with a page that shows the results of his selection..
Something like this:
User X
Rank: X
Badges: X (with pictures of the corresponding badges)
Medals: X (with pictures of the corresponding medals)
After the user has completed all the steps, the final page is saved, so that everyone in the corp can see it whenever they please.
It's the same thing people have on a forums when a user has to select checkboxes next to:
do you drink?
do you smoke?
Are you married?
and in the end, his profile shows:
Doesn't Drink
Smokes
Not married.
