modules: how to run a separate PHP file?

[Idsky]

I made a modules/maps/index.php file thinking I could load that in the browser directly with

Code: Select all

window.open(g_gamethemeurl+"modules/maps/");

But that gives a 403 permission error. I understand that will be for security (though my page takes no input).

This maps reference page is big, I want to open it in a new tab, not in an overlay on the game page. Suggestions?

Hi

PHP files are on SERVER side
Your browser is on CLIENT side
you can only import JS, CSS on CLIENT side
you can only import a PHP file from PHP itself on SERVER side.

Hope it helps.

For security reasons, I dont think you could do something like this. I would believe only the standard action urls are authorized.
Lets wait to see if an admin has a solution, but I wouldnt be surprised if this is not possible.

Static html pages within modules can be loaded so I'll pre-render / compile this page offline and add it as html.
Looks like the modules folder is not added to the repository on Quantum though, I guess an admin will need to add that for me.

What I did was put a static html file into the img folder, along with a spritesheet for it's images, which was set as this.dontPreloadImage in the javascript constructor function.

I have a PHP script in misc for 'compiling' this static page which I run offline and commit the result.
