Dodo Site Setup

HostHelper Setup + Website Generating

• Click the HostHelper shortcut () in the top right of SuperDodoTerminal
• SDT must be running for HH to work.
• Click Start

Verify islands + mode

• Make sure your island(s) appear on the Islands tab

• If not, go to Host Modes and uncheck Website Team Mode

• Click the Website Server tab
  • Click Open DodoBuilder

  This panel is packed with a LOT. I'm not going over all of it, just the main things to get you up and running. Explore the panel to find all the different things you can do :) The first panel you'll see is 1) Content. This is the meat and potatoes of the DodoBuilder, and how you define your website's look and feel.

• Click 1) Content and start by checkmarking/unchecking pages you do and don't want. Some pages cannot be turned off, these are essential to site operation!
• Once you have your pages picked, click Edit Page content and be prepared, there's a lot in this panel. At this point you need to decide/do a few things.
  • 1) Do you want custom images or do you like the default ones? If you want custom → Start on Page Styles to adjust the look of your site. Then move to Home to adjust what icons are used for everything. You can start with the default images and update them anytime.
  • 2) Set your site Rules. This is what lets you say "You agreed to and broke the rules so you're banned" when you have player issues.
  • 3) Setup your Legals text. You should not share your site until this is shared because you will be collecting personal information. You can use the default Legals or type your own. Subscription Legal text is your responsibility if you enabled them, there is no default option.
  • 4) On the Players Page tab; determine if you want every player to verify their account via NID. This requires encouraging them to use an island that's in queue mode(1 visitor at a time per a sign up list), so the system can link their NID to their website account. Useful if you want to be able to catch and re-ban people who try to bypass website banning by creating a new account. This is really the only thing players cannot lie about.
  • 5) Setup your FAQs. You start with 5 default ones, add additional ones to fit your sites needs.
  • 7) Set up an Offline page (after you've completed all other customization because this does not auto-update when you regenerate your site, this is manually uploaded to Cloudflare to show in place of the ugly 505 page) The bottom of the tab walks you through what to do.
  • Technically done! You can spend as much time going through additional settings/options/customization as you'd like.
  • Click Save! The panel will auto-close.

You'll be back on the main DodoBuilder panel now. Leave 2) alone unless you know what you're doing!

• Click 3) Publishing
  • Review the summary

Remember that the site you're generating is YOURS. The theme provided by The Dodo Suite's HostHelper does not resolve you of legal responsibilities surrounding hosting/running/maintaining a website with user accounts. Treat your computer as a private database because that's what it is. Do not give random machine access and be mindful of software you install because it's not just your information that would be compromised.
