Around 2007-2011, at the height of the Soldat1 community, we needed a website for uploading and sharing maps. I stepped up and created a mapping community website, called The Soldat Mapping Showcase (TMS).
Recently, Soldat2 needed a similar site, and the community asked me to make a copy of TMS for it.
So, I am open sourcing this by community request. We have an instance running at https://tms2.jrgp.org intended for Soldat2.
Be aware: this is written in 2006-style PHP, in that it does not use MVC or prepared statements or have unit tests. That said, the code works as expected, best practices of the time were followed, and I am not aware of any vulnerabilities, XSS/sql-injection/remote-inclusion or otherwise.
