The Database Registry is a set of PHP4 scripts which create a web interface to a MySQL database (the schema for which is also provided) containing information useful to people running White Wolf's Changeling: the Dreaming game.
The database is designed to provide detailed information on important events in the lives of changelings, such as:
The scripts automatically generate set views of this information, such as:
There are admin functions which provide a web interface for adding, editing and deleting changelings, freeholds, groups and the relationships between them.
Before you get the scripts (gzipped tar file), please note that to use them you must have access to a webserver with PHP support and a MySQL server.
The current release, made available on 6 February 2001, is version 0.2, which is stable and usable. You may view the scripts in action on a sample database (note that the admin functions new to v0.2 are not available in this sample). The sample database has been greatly expanded, and is now at the lower limit of the amount of data required to be useful.
The Registry is currently being rewritten. I am revising the database schema to better match my growing understanding of how (my version of) the Changeling universe works. I am rewriting the scripts from scratch (in Python), for several reasons: to work with the new database schema, to have nicer code, and to make it easy to run the application outside of a web context.
Some documentation of the new schema is being worked on.
