Installation

Clone advancedbans to your web server. Then open the website and configure the website to your liking. Database configuration is also done thru the same setup form.

How to reconfigure/redo the setup

If you messed up during the setup or need to change some things then you can navigate to static/configuration.json in the folder where you ban website is located and open the file configuration.json. In there you will find different options which you can change but if you prefer to make the changes on the setup form itself then change setup completed to false

"setup": {
    "completed": false

If you would like to change your database changes then you can open the database.php file in the folder static/. The database file looks like this (The values may be different for you):

<?php

define("DATABASE_HOST", "host");
define("DATABASE_USER", "user");
define("DATABASE_PASSWORD", "password");
define("DATABASE_DATABASE", "database");

You can also change the database settings thru the website setup form by setting setup completed to false in the configuration file located at static/configuration.json. But keep in mind that this will then require you to redo the whole setup form. It is recommended to keep the version set to stable as changing this to legacy or beta may cause some issues.

Default configuration file

Languages

Translating Advancedban Panel is simple. Languages are located in static\languages and all language files follow a simple format. To translate Advancedban Panel for yourself, create a new file for your language. For example, en-US.json is used for the English language used in the United States. Then, use the following template to make your translations.

{
	"language": "English",
	"collection": {
		"punishments": "Punishments",
		"support": "Support",
		"contact": "Contact",
		"appeal": "Appeal",
		"credit": "Credit",
		"themes": "Themes",
		"default": "Default",
		"languages": "Languages",
		"players": "Players",
		"search": "Search",
		"copy": "Copy",
		"copied": "Copied",
		"inactive": "Inactive",
		"active": "Active",
		"first": "First",
		"previous": "Previous",
		"next": "Next",
		"last": "Last",
		"name": "Name",
		"reason": "Reason",
		"operator": "Operator",
		"date": "Date",
		"expires": "Expires",

Consider translating AdvancedBans into a language you are fluent in. Create a pull request and I will merge the language into the master branch.

Themes

Like translating AdvancedBans, theming AdvancedBans is also simple. However, AdvancedBans will always load the core files for Bootstrap and will follow a Bootstrap HTML structure. Themes are stored in static\themes and the following is an example of the file structure for a theme.

themes /
\ - photon /
    | - css /
        \ - photon.css
    | - img
    | - js
    \ - configuration.json

Static stylesheets and scripts should be placed in the appropriate css and js folders. As noted before, AdvancedBans will always load core Bootstrap files and jQuery before custom theme stylesheets and scripts.

The configuration.json file for your theme should follow this template.

{
	"theme": "Photon",
	"creator": "mathhulk"
}

Icons

To change the icons for AdvancedBans, replace the icon files located in static\resources\images and static\resources\images\icons and the favicon.ico file using a tool like https://www.favicon-generator.org.
