Question about editing files through web UI

[jakepbrown27]

Hi Folks - I got this up and running and added a 7 Days to Die template and got it all working!! Loving this so far. I have a question in regards to editing files through the web UI such as in the case of 7D2D the serverconfig.xml I can't seem edit it through the UI but can other text based documents, is it possible to do this? Reason I ask is that I can't find documentation for startup parameters for 7D2D that would override the serverconfig.xml configurations..... Hope that makes sense?

Also side question: if someone wanted to help maintain this - what would be the best way to go about learning how it works? seems like a JavaScript on the web front end and php in the back?

Another that I forgot; the system info (CPU\RAM) keeps reporting as 0, but it pulls the PID correctly, any idea why?

Yep, simple html/javascript with ajax requests on the front end, php 5 on the backend. It needs to be updated to a newer setup for php 7.

Does it flat out not let you edit the XML file, or it errors out trying?

CPU/RAM checks: are you using local or remote mode?

[jakepbrown27]

For the CPU/RAM question: I was using the remote. I had one master (where I presume all the bits are stored) and then the slave running the 7D2D server.

In regards to the .xml is doesn't seem to give me the option at all - where some files seem to be editable and others are not. I will hop on later and see if I can get a screenshot to better illustrate what I mean.

@devryan I was planning to work on PR's for this but then I found Go (aka Golang) and it has become my favorite programming language for its performance and syntax and so I decided I was gonna try writing a panel from scratch based off this one. I called it "GoPanelX" haha. I will credit you in the README.

@TekkitCommando good luck. It takes a lot of time/dedication since there are so many random little features that are needed, even before you're actually starting/stopping servers 👍

@jakepbrown27 alright. XML should be editable, let me check on that
