The download system offers a feature that allows us to approve files into the database before these files are available to download by the public. This feature will allow Neocodex to protect the members of this site from malicious code that any person who is posting a program might have added. Senior programmers and administrators currently have the ability to moderate the downloads system and will be doing the approving. Once the senior programmers get the hang of things and are in total control, administrators will pull out of that area and begin to concentrate more on other areas that also need work.
Please read the rules for our policies on posting programs. Programs must not contain:
- Any type of virus, trojan, key logger or malicious code.
- All programs must have a codex check included within them or they will not be approved into the downloads database.
- You may not post a program that was not made by you unless you have the authors' written and expressed permission and also give credit to the author in the description of the program.
In order to use the download system correctly, press downloads on any of the pages on Neocodex. Once you have accessed the downloads system, you can press Programmer Tools on the left side to access the codex checks section of the downloads system. You will then be presented with a screen that has these options:
- Manage Programs
- Manage permissions allowed to use this program
- Manage global settings
- Delete the program
- View program logs associated with this program
- Add a program to the permissions database
- Add a program directly into the database of permissions
- View Master Logs
- Depending on your user group, you will be presented with logs from all of the programs in the database or the logs of only the programs that you have submitted. Either way, you will be viewing the master logs for all programs you have administrative rights to.
- Manage global banlist
- This feature is only available to administrators and senior programmers. In the event that we need to ban someone who is abusing programs from using any programs globally, we will add their details here. Leaching policies and standards are yet to come.
Please be careful of the category you post your program in. You dont want to post a program that has private permissions into the member programs category. That will just cause a lot of chaos and we dont want that
.These are only a few of the features I wanted to highlight. Im sure that you guys can figure out the rest. If you have any questions on how to do something, please ask
.I have worked extremely hard on this download system integration. It took about 4 days to program it. Then a few more days to test it out and beta my code, but when I opened up the downloads system for administrators and senior programmers to see, they suggested more features and while adding those features, a problem in the upload occurred and the entire download system code was lost. This caused me to have to rebuild the entire downloads system once again. This time, it’s a lot better than what it was last time.
I really hope you guys enjoy using this version of the codex checks. Comments and suggestions are always appreciated as making codex the best is an awful lot of hard work but its work that I am willing to do. Lets work together and make this site better than it already is.
