The entire project was created by Krystian Grela. The initial purpose of the project was to create webpage for an existing minecraft server. Since the project of server was abandoned the primary goal of the project is training and expanding knowledge in MVC. The project contains a web application made in the ASP.NET MVC framework and database made with the DBFirst method in Entity Framework (tested with SQL Server and Azure Sql Edge). The MVC project is likely to be treated as a beta, because there are plans to rewrite the project using Angular with .NET API (for training purposes).
Attention: not every functionality of program was tested, and the website is not ready to release. Furthermore, the photo upload functionality works only on windows.
Main funtionalities of project:
- Identity - project uses ASP.NET identity to authorize users and manage access using roles.
- Admin Panel - management of users including checking their profiles and temportary or permanent blocking.
- Announcements - admins and owners can add announcements for users of webpage, the announcements can then be send to
- Comments - users can comment announcements or delete them.
