CES Community Website Template

CES City is a ready-to-launch website for FiveM and other roleplay communities. Upload it, import one SQL file, and you have a polished night-city-themed site with a live server status page, whitelist applications, rules, staff, news, and a store page that links to your Tebex shop.

What's included

• Live server status:** player count, slot usage, 24-hour player chart and an optional player list, plus a Connect button. Reads your server directly or through a cfx.re join code (for hosts that block game ports).
• Whitelist and department applications:** build any form you like (short text, long text, dropdown, checkbox). A review queue lets staff accept or deny with a message to the applicant and private staff notes. Denied applicants get a configurable cooldown before they can reapply.
• Discord login and password login:** players can sign in with Discord OAuth or a username and password. Optional webhook alerts to a staff channel for new applications and decisions. Optional "online on Discord" counter.
• Rules, staff, departments, events, gallery, FAQ and news:** all editable in the admin panel, no code needed.
• Tebex store page:** package cards with prices, badges, and Buy buttons that link to your Tebex pages.
• Full admin panel:** setup checklist, settings, content manager, application builder, review queue, users with roles (player/staff/admin) and fine-grained staff permissions.
• Your look:** change name, headline, colours, logo, and hero background from Settings. The night-skyline hero is built in; no image files needed.
• Mobile-friendly:** responsive layout throughout.
• Built to be safe
• CSRF protection on every form, bcrypt passwords, login lockout after repeated failures, prepared SQL statements, image uploads checked by content (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP only), and private folders blocked with .htaccess.

Requirement

• PHP 8.0 or newer (tested on PHP 8.3) with PDO MySQL and cURL
• MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.3+
• Apache hosting (.htaccess included). Works on ordinary shared hosting; no SSH or Composer needed.
