How is this free and what is Open Source? ScoutTrak is a standard Open Source project following the GNU Open Source license model. If you use this system we ask that you include a link to this site on your login page. Any enhancements you make should be submitted to us for review. If the changes are in harmony with the direction we want this project to go, we will include your changes and add your name to our Hall of Fame page. We are using MySQL as our database and PHP for scripting. You are invited to play around with our sample site. Obviously you will want to see how it works but don't try to crash it. If you want to really pound on it, download it and install it on your own site. If you find bugs we'd really appreciate your feedback either by fixing them or simply reporting them.   Currently we only have functionality for the Boy Scouts through his Eagle rank. The databases have been designed to accomodate more ie. Cub Scouts, Varsity, etc. The first troop went live with this system on November 23, 2001. The readme.txt file identifies bug fixes and enhancements. Directory Structure The directory structure of the site is designed so that you can easily update the project as new modules are developed. This will only work as long as you keep any customized files outside of the PHP and children directories. /root site specific files ie. preferance file, connection file, login error file. /root/images images you are accessing from any customized files in the root directory. /root/PHP all non customized php files /root/PHP/AwardImages the merit badge reports show tables with text descriptions written with rotated text. Since html doesn't support rotated text we made imagees of the rotated text. The award table has an entry for the image file name. /root/PHP/images image files on which the PHP source has dependencies. Tables Descriptions See the tables page for a detailed description of the tables utilized in ScoutTrak.   Home | Project | Download | Needed Improvements | Table Descriptions | Readme.txt | Hall of Fame
