Resource Tracker Module for MyBB
The Resource Tracker Module is a custom plugin designed for MyBB forums to manage and track in-game resources for Role-Playing-Game forums. This project was developed to streamline resource management, automate resource drops, and provide detailed logs for administrators.
As the sole developer and designer, I was responsible for the entire project lifecycle, from concept to deployment.
Problem Statement
Many gaming forums and communities struggle with managing in-game resources and rewards. Manual tracking is time-consuming, error-prone, and lacks transparency. Administrators needed a solution to:
◎ Automate resource distribution.
◎ Track resource points and drops.
◎ Provide detailed logs for accountability.
◎ Allow manual posting of resources for flexibility.
◎ Configure settings for seasonal points and task scheduling.
Solution
I designed and developed the Resource Tracker Module, a feature-rich plugin for MyBB that:
1 - Automates Resource Drops: Posts resource threads automatically based on predefined settings.
2 - Tracks Resource Points: Assigns points to resources and manages seasonal distributions.
3 - Provides Detailed Logs: Tracks all actions performed by the module for transparency.
4 - Manual Posting: Allows administrators to manually post resources for flexibility.
5 - Customizable Settings: Configure seasonal points, task scheduling, and other settings.
6 - Task Scheduling: Automates resource drops at specified intervals.
Implementation
◎ Built the backend using PHP and MySQL for resource management and logging.
◎ Integrated the module with MyBB's existing framework.
◎ Developed a task scheduler for automated resource drops.
