hi! my name is tea and i run a small, kid-friendly fantasy RPG site with a couple of my friends. the game is getting much more popular than we ever imagined, and we are having trouble figuring out a way to make the application process easier for the people signing up. we have about 80 character profiles listed on our site, and it is way too many to expect people to read.
i am looking for something i can run that can be customized to work as a character database.
it needs to be easy-to-install because i am the most computer-savvy person on the staff, and i do not know how to use a command line. i can do html and css and i know how to change a php config file like you need to do for running phpbb or something like that, but that is about it. i don't have telnet or ssh access on my site.
i would like it to do this:
1) allow me to create a web-based input with form fields for things like character name, birth date, etc and fill it out for each character, making one entry per character.
2) allow me to choose which characters are active, like by ticking a check box next to a filled-out entry.
3) output the active characters list easily to a searchable html page for our applicants to use (so we can list characters by their different traits)
4) possibly allow applicants to do things like type in a certain feature and see how many characters already have it (like "blue eyes")
does anyone know of anything that might work for this? any help is most appreciated.
thank you
tea
