World of Warcraft Event Calendar

[elricstorm]

Elric is evil! Just when I get one addon working he adds another to frustrate me =p

Ok, I have it just shy of being exactly the way I want it. I've added the column and header for the member's spec. All that is missing is adding the commands to actually make it pull the data from userfield22 and input it in the table.

I tried changing calendar_getday_event which seemed like it was part of the process but I either missed something or that is only part. This seemed a good point in which to ask for help before I mess something up ^_^

1.1.3 should not have to be changed at all. For the older version with non-armory data, you just have to designate what fields you are using in the vboptions section. It should be straightforward.

[Yukino_AE]

Did you follow all of the steps outlined in the help file?
What version of php are you running on your site?
Do you have the curl library installed?
Do you have fopen for URLs turned on?
Are you running any calendar modifications other than this one?


Let's start with that for starters.

Yes I followed the steps. or at least i hope i did i read them all i think @_@ lol
php version 4.4.7
curl library... erm???
open for urls on ??? (sorry forgive me i'm kinda new to some of this. blah)
and no other modifications to calendar. this is the only one on a fresh install.

Go into your admincp>maintenance>view phpinfo and look through there and below the following sections:

Configuration > PHP Core

You should see..


allow_url_fopen On On


If this is set to OFF, that's your first problem and you need to talk to your host provider to have them change the php.ini file to allow it to ON. The parser uses file_get_contents to pull data from the xml file on the armory.

The second thing you should look for is under the following section while viewing the same file:

Section is named CURL


CURL support enabled
CURL Information libcurl/7.13.1 OpenSSL/0.9.7f zlib/1.2.2.2 libidn/0.5.15


If you don't see this then you have another problem and need to ask your hosting provider to install the curl libary which is a very common libary that everyone should have. Check that next. Also, make sure you read the troubleshooting section of the chm file.

hi! thanks for the quick reply. i checked the sections you said. my allow_url_fopen is indeed set to on and the the curl section is enabled and shows the same curl info...

i'll go back and read the troubleshooting section again to see if i've missed anything but it looks like it's all correct.

[elricstorm]

Well that's great to hear. Try the steps in the .chm file one by one just to double check things and you might find out there is just one tiny thing wrong that's preventing you from using this. Otherwise, I'll continue helping you if you need help. It sounds like you at least have the backend configured properly so that's a giant step. :)

LOL Yeah k, I'm a retard. Found my own problem. It helps when the wowcalendar_functions is placed into the includes folder and not the main forum folder. LOL

Oh geez. *sigh* Hahah. Thanks for all the help elric and the fast responses. I'll pay more attention to where I'm uploading stuff next time. LOL dur.

[Hyrel]

Oh no, everything is working great! I was trying to add in a new column for displaying the spec info. I have the column and row added to the table, but I need to add the code to have it pull the information from the userfield and display it in the table.

you can see here what I mean.

http://www.rivalnation.com/forums/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=6&day=2007-6-25&c=1

The userfield is already added, it's userfield22

Look over the code I used for just pulling the level data in that mod. Mimic it for the new column. If you get stuck, just PM me and I'll help you along since I'd like to keep discussion topics in this thread related to the latest mod and not a previous one. But, I will definitely help you out with it.

Thanks,

If anyone is interested, I'm going to begin work on a third project for raid progression. Here's the URL for the discussion:

How would I go about changing the default font? Comic Sans MS is weak.

Awesome mod otherwise, keep up the good work.

I'm working on some general cleanup on the mod, separating styles/fonts etc. into another configuration page, and adding some localization. I've just been tremendously busy at work so give me a week or so and I will have the next release version up.

Good stuff, I'll be looking out for it.

Hey Elricstrom

I'm completely stuck.

I was going to PM this to you but couldn't do an attachment.

Elricstorm, Could you please repost the last version before the Armory update? My Blizz site I run is a community site for several realms. As much as I love the armory concept, it won't work for my needs as it is limited to one realm now.

I recently replaced my hard drive, so don't have the older version install files anymore.

[Yukino_AE]

hi. i'm getting the following error when i try to set up and save an event:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init() in /www/cgi/forum/includes/wowcalendar_functions.php on line 10

any ideas?

[Noxious]

I've just move my guilds site onto a new server but now the mod doesn't work, will the server running in safe mode prevent it from working?

Read the troubleshooting section in the .chm help file as it explains that. There are also several posts on here explaining the same issue which is why I put it in the help file. :)

I would never put PHP in safe mode. That will affect a ton of PHP scripts and PHP files that others have.

I placed up "another" zip file on the main addon page that called NO_ARMORY_VERSION_WITH_INSTRUCTIONS.zip that you can download and use. Thanks for the reminder of putting that version up as well for those that don't want to use or follow the armory data version.

I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is I have version 1.2.7 finished. The bad news is I won't release it until probably late tomorrow or early Saturday.

There are a lot of new features and changes and it will be fully compatible with gwow character now.

Anyhoo, food for thought. :)

[elricstorm]

Make sure you re-read all of the .chm instructions included with the latest version.

Version 1.2.7 Changes

Fixed Armory Timeout Settings so they work properly
Recompiled parser code with Blackjack's assistance to make the calendar compatible with gWoWCharacter
Changed Profile fields from 3 required to 1 required - the one required is now a multi-line profile field that allows you to put any number of characters on it, however, the current code still only reads the first 3 characters for the calendar - the remainder of the characters listed would still be usable and cross-compatible with gWoWCharacter
New single profile field allows for server, realm, faction cross-over capability which now delimits the use of the armory so that anyone can use it, even guilds that have multiple factions
Changed Time setting so that it displays short date format only when it's older than 48 hours. For prior days, it displays as "yesterday" and for current day signups it displays as "today".
Added localization for English, German, and French for talent names. All other phrases can still be altered via languages/phrases. These can be set in vboptions.
Added the ability to set tentative/maybe signups to on/off
Split the vboptions for the calendar into two separate sections: (settings and styles)
Added the ability to change the font type for the calendar via vboptions.
Added the ability to change the font size for the calendar via vboptions.

Would it be possible to get a VG version of this otherwise I will just modify this myself for VG but im not good enough to convert the XML conversion.

I don't play VG (assuming you mean Vanguard?) and I don't have enough time to commit to another project with everything going on at work and on the side here.

I am working on a raid content system and a looting system (the looting system should be open-ended and will support most gaming environments).

[jamesf]

Hello, I've been using this mod for a little bit and love it, but I changed to a host that has allow_url_fopen disabled saying it was a security risk and I am unable to override that setting.

I tried using the code posted earlier, but it is still not able to get the armory information.

ok this fixed the problem:

Find: $xml = file_get_contents($url);
replace with:
// $xml = file_get_contents($url);
// Nah, let's cURL it instead
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
$xml = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
// cURL'd

I know you have said you won't be changing the mod to not use allow_url_fopen, but if you know what I need to change myself I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks again for such a great mod.

You would have to use the non-armory version. The xml parser that's used for the addon requires you to have allow_url_fopen set to ON. While I understand your host's statement, personally I would use a host that gives you the ability to modify and manage your own php environment. There are a lot of good hosts out there that allow you to do that - IPOWER is one for instance. The type of host I would look for that's cheap and affordable is one that supports a "virtual dedicated" hosting platform. This way you don't need a purely dedicated hosting plan but you can self-manage everything on a virtual dedicated type of plan, including the ability to SSH to your site and manipulate/add library components.

[Arminios]

I didn't have time to read through all now, since I'm at work, but I have 1 quick question.

Is it possible to pull out a list of attendees to be placed in a macro ingame? That is a list that says
/i Arminios
/i Fysak
/i Elvis

...and so on.

If not, would that be possible to do?

[ceox]

The calender is not pulling in level, class, etc.

any help?

[ceox]

So, I found this in the troubleshooting section of the help file:

http://www.forgottencrusaders.com/images/ScreenShot005.jpg

But this is what I get when I go there. How do I reset it, or turn it on? Also, if I get it back on, how do I modify for those settings?

Thanks

http://www.forgottencrusaders.com/images/ScreenShot006.jpg

[Noxious]

thats normally caused by your host blocking access to it, you will need to contact them and ask them if they can turn allow_url_fopen & allow_url_include to on

[elricstorm]

Noxious is correct. I find that more and more host providers provide "too much" php security and not enough flexibility. As I've mentioned before in previous posts, it's much better to find a provider that allows you to configure and maintain the php environment settings yourself.

[ceox]

Yep, I got em to fix it, working now. Also, it is intersting to know that the Char is case sensitive.

[deathemperor]

Thanks for making this hack, it is very nice.

I've modified the following stuff to make it more like a raid calendar:

Add Image to the event like official wow raid calendar (live: http://www.holvn.org/forum/calendar.html?c=2)
In the event display, the width of the columns are now rearraged correctly so it looks more beauty and easier to read.
Change the link to the forum member info to the link to their official Armory data.
Show the exactly talent points instead of hover, I thought it's easier cuz in IE there is not underline dots which makes users don't know that they have to hover to see talent point.
Added Talent images for each build.
Add Hybrid talent build. However at the moment I'm not sure which is considered as Hybrid, I'm just taking my gf's priest build as an experiment: neither of the 3 ways is larger than 33 => Hybrid.
Replace none-70 race and character images with 70 ones since it's obvious that you can raid more than 5 men only if you are 70 (unless MC, BWL or old raids :P ).
Fixed an error when you input the wrong character name and view the event by checking if $xml has data.
Fixed a bug that won't allow you to edit your event calendar. Still need the similar fix for deletions.


I would suggest to have the ability to add "need" classes when creating an event, like 2 warriors, 1 shadow priest, 1 holy paladin, 1 mage etc. It would be better.

Again great hack !

You have the ability to adjust the width of the columns through the options to whatever values you like. Talent numbers are okay but the ability to see what their "majority" build is, is often easier by seeing the build name. As for adding both build and talent numbers, I don't feel it's visually necessary. So, that won't be changing. I don't see the need to add a hybrid build as there is no set pattern for what is considered hybrid. Even people that are generally even in talents don't consider themselves hybrid.

#7 doesn't make sense to me. Not sure what you are saying here.
#9 doesn't make sense to me. Please elaborate and make sure it's occurring on a non-hacked version.

As for upcoming changes - once I complete the loot system I'm working on, I will be back to adding revisions to the calendar product.

Some of the revisions I will be adding will be:

Interface for adding events by type
Adding class maximums so that once the maximum class type has been reached, others are highlighted (queued). So you need 3 warriors and you get 5 signed up then the 2 latter are highlighted as queued.
Other fixes will be armory related

[deathemperor]

Hello elricstorm,

Don't get me wrong, the changes made was for my forum only, I didn't mean it must be implemented here.

About the width, I wasn't checking the vboptions. It was just me.
The number as for myself only is needed, because protection warrior doesn't all the time goes with 8/4/49. Just take armory for example, they have reasons to give out the number right ? ;) . The hybrid build wasn't my invention also. I made it because I saw the priest as Holy but it's Hybrid in the armory. There are conditions to judge if it's hybrid, we just don't know. This is just about talents so yes we say she's a hybrid priest if she has 28/33/0 of talent build.

#7: the images you use for each race and class are from wow forum which are used for under 60 characters. I just replace them with 70 level images.

#9: This is something I want this hack to be fixed because it is a serious bug when you have the hack enabled you won't be able to edit the event calendar, or delete or move. This is because in the plugin calendar_getday_event you check for the value of $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], $vbulletin->GPC['response'], $vbulletin->['day'] if either of the 3 are null then print_no_permission();.

I just grabbed an image package, not overly concerned with what levels the images were. However, if the 70s look better, then I'll be happy to use them.

#9: So the issue you are having is regarding editing/deleting the actual event calendar and not a particular event? If so, I'll check it out. Thanks.

[elricstorm]

#9: I tested editing/removing calendars and have no problems with events signed up or not signed up. I tested moving/editing/deleting individual and even recurring events on the calendar and have no problems moving/editing/deleting events whether they are ranged, recurring, or single. So, again, I'm not sure what you are talking about here. You might want to make sure you are not using a hacked version of my modification. Unless you can state exactly what happens when and where and I can duplicate it, I can't help ya.

Thanks.

[ceox]

A nice edit for the next release would be an ability to color code the event Title on the Calendar. It could have a legend or not. Just the ability to edit the title color would be great.

First of all, I wanted to thank you for a great mod. I like this quite a bit more than Farcaster's. One thing I would like to see is this mod integrate with the vb Event Forums Integration mod. I think that is the primary reason I've had to migrate back to Farcaster's. Any chance we could see something like that?

[louth]

Hmm, I've just come back off holiday and you've release the new version you were talking about before I left. I don't like how you've changed the profile thing to 3 seperate lines that people need to put in..

Is there any way to keep the simple 'Enter char name here' and then keep the realm/region to the admin options? Because mine doesn't work anymore.

EDIT: I have it working now for version 1.26 which I prefer over 1.27, so is there anyway for me personally to edit some files in order to modify the type face the plugin uses? I'm not bothered about any of the other settings. Thanks.

[Noxious]

@louth,

You would have to ask that on the gWoWChar - World of Warcraft Character Menu Mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=141455)

This event calendar uses the information found from the input on that mod so if you wish to prevent uses from editing it themselves, i'd ask in the link above

[Gryphon]

As for why gWoWChar uses it, on the coding side, having them in a single field makes the information use much more flexible. It also allows a user to input more than 3 characters without having to have the admin create more profile fields or having too many profile fields cluttering the profile page for those who just enter 1 or 2 characters.

I talked with Elricstorm about having the event calendar follow the same format so that information would not have to be doubled for those who use both mods as well as allow the use of more than 3 characters in the event calendar eventually.

[DeMented33]

First of all, excellent mod! Having a few problems though, for some reason the sign-up comment box is still showing up to unregistered guests who are viewing events. Blank entries are showing: http://paradigm-wow.org/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=3&day=2007-8-10&c=1

Also, is there any way for the board admin (me) to manually add and remove players from the list?

Yeah it uses it now, but I don't want to use that mod. So I'm asking if it's still possible with the older version :)

[elricstorm]

All new calendar versions will use the new profile fields that gwow uses as well. I understand that it may appear more confusing for you but it is very flexible. Given that eventually the system may support up to 6 characters or more, it would be silly to expect everyone to create extra profile fields to accomodate the system.

With the new changes, it puts more emphasis on the user rather than the administrator. In addition, it supports cross-server, cross-faction.

Thanks,

[Noxious]

i've modified this mod so it now looks like the image below, its grabs the extra data and also if its more than the base value turns the text green and if you hover over it says the base value and also you can also have upto 9 characters listed

[elricstorm]

Hi Noxious, you did some nice work on this mate. If you would like me to look over the code or implement some of the featuers into a future version, shoot me a quick PM and we can talk about it.

Right now, the armory is about to go through some pretty intense changes over the next couple of months and it might cause/create some major issues with the modification. I already have a new version created - just not released due to some adjustments coming.

Again, if you are showcasing this to offer some suggestions or improvements, I'll be happy to speak with you in private on this.

Thanks mate. :)

[Gryphon]

Wow Noxious, that looks extremely similar to what I have been working on, I wonder where you got the idea for the layout ;)
http://www.alliedtribalforces.com/calendar.php?do=getinfo&day=2007-8-26&e=161&c=1

[elricstorm]

I like both of the revisions, however, all features would have to toggleable, up to design parameters for the calendar, as there are some sites that will have width issues with both of those.

My new site "tabula.rasa.us" doesn't have those width issues however, when I design something I want to think of everyone, not just myself. Again, if either of you want to share any revisions with me, I'll be happy to look them over. Gryphon you already know how to contact me. I like everything you did (minus the professions) as I felt that was not overly necessary. But, again, it's personal taste for everyone. If it's a toggleable feature, then it allows the user a choice.

[Noxious]

Wow Noxious, that looks extremely similar to what I have been working on, I wonder where you got the idea for the layout ;)
http://www.alliedtribalforces.com/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&day=2007-8-26&e=161&c=1

good layout idea, ;)

still had to modify the code myself for it to grab that extra data though :p

anyways elricstorm, just curious but do you know why the mod doesn't work if you use

calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=38

and only works if you include the

calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=38&day=2007-8-29

as i've noticed if the event crosses over 2 days (ie different timezones) they both kinda have separate signup's wanted to modify the code so its only dependant on the event id rather than the date.

Another thing i added was that when people signup it add's a reminder to the system so 1 hour before the event starts they get a reminder that they'd signed up for the event

[Noxious]

ah never mind found it and removed it :D

couldn't figure out a reason why it wanted that days to match as like i said, if the event crosses days over different timezones causes some problems. Anyways its removed, if its required for something i'm sure it'll tell me somewhere, lol

[Elenna]

Would someone be so kind as to point me to where I can modify this for use with another game (LOTRO)?

I'm using the non-Armory edition.

The class names would need to be different, which would change the "tally" section of the event.

[Elenna]

Never mind, I found what to edit :)

Should I make it available for others to download as well? It is for LOTRO Classes.

[manub]

I will mark it as installed, sound really interesting :)

Anyway, it's possible to use it only as a Raid Calendar, without using the signup function? We use a strange signup system, where you signup only if you aren't available... we usually do it using forums. Would be great if there you can just signout ;)

[Caerydd]

Is there a mac friendly version of the instructions? My usual 'open everything in TextWrangler' didn't work with it >>

Gragh sod.

My web host won't allow me to use url fopen

IF it did work, would this addon have an issue with 'The Sha'tar' as a realm name? the gWoWChar addon seems to, so I wondered if it was a common problem.

I'll try the non-armory version tomorrow after work.

[Elenna]

Any chance this can be modified to work with the Event Forum mod?

My host doesn't support the curl library. Do I have to use the version without Armory?

I second this. I'm looking at just using Farcaster's mod and that, if I can't get the armory version of this to work.

My host has curl, but fopen not at all. However the host's wiki indicates that fopen can be bypassed by using curl - is it possible to get a version of this mod that would do it that way, since it uses curl anyways?

[louth]

All new calendar versions will use the new profile fields that gwow uses as well. I understand that it may appear more confusing for you but it is very flexible. Given that eventually the system may support up to 6 characters or more, it would be silly to expect everyone to create extra profile fields to accomodate the system.

With the new changes, it puts more emphasis on the user rather than the administrator. In addition, it supports cross-server, cross-faction.

Thanks,

But, I don't want that.

I'm asking if there's anyway to change the font with the version I want to use, because that's what I want to use on my forums.

Thanks in advance.

Not without creating a new XML parser. The xml parser built into vbulletin's class uses fopen. I would have to create a completely unique parser and I don't really want to have to do that. fopen and curl are 100% controllable in any PHP environment. Therefore, it's up to the end user to decide whether or not to change their environments and to use the addon.

I've made a great many compromises to the addon over time but this is one that I don't see changing for quite some time.

Thanks in advance.

The fonts are changeable in vb options for this addon. If you are using a different version that doesn't have those vboptions then you need to edit the modification and change the font directly.

Thanks,

[Kahoona]

Is there a way you could make a cURL patch due to the security faults of allow_url_fopen and
allow_url_include?

[Gryphon]

There are no security faults with fopen, or vBulletin would not use it themselves as well.

[Kahoona]

Well, my host does not have fopen turned on, and I do not have the knowledge to create a custom PHP.ini file. :(

[Caerydd]

:-/

It's the only thing I can think of that would be why your mod is not working on my forums. For now I'm going with Farcaster and Event Forums (as the event forum functionality is vur vur nice for my guild) as it works 'now' and I can make several calendars to handle events like pvp, arena, heroics and RP, and have separate permissions for the raid calendar sign ups.

I might have another go at installing it, but I don't get any option to sign up once the event has been created, even after ticking 'allow users to sign up' when creating an event.. At the time it was a clean install, and yes I did double check the installation instructions - even though I had to make mah boyf alt tab out of wow so I could read them (.chm files to work on macs! I demand OS-neutral instructions. GIEF EPIXPL0XNOWOMGBB.

Ahem.

Errr, anyways >>

Mac friendly instruction File
Integration with event forums.
I get myself a new host that allows fopen. (although vb has no trouble >< Anyone remember a low cost web host? VPS and PS are beyond my means at present.)

[Krieg]

Hi elricstorm and thank you for that mode.

I would prefer to tell you that everything is going fine on my boards but as you would expect, this is not the case.

I installed the 1.2.7 version as stated in the .chm file and I am having several issues as you can see in the attached images.

Firstly, I went to check your own boards just to have a complete view of the addon fully working (1st image) and it differs from what I have.

- despite the fact I filled the image path field differently (http://path.to/my/forums/images/wow or ./images/wow), images don't show up and when I check the path in the missing image proprieties, it keeps showing the same path : http://path.to/my/forums/
- on the profile page, there are links towards the armory for the various characters, but in my boards, there is no link (last image)

Actually, there seems not to be any link towards the armory and details such as classes, templates, etc don't appear. I have checked my host fopen paramaters and it is configured.

I am not a really advanced vBulletin coder but I tried to digg it out but I am now hopeless ;)

If you have a few minutes, I would be glad if you can read through my problems and hope to be of the best help if you need it.

[pirotess]

Kreig you probably need to update the URL for the armory. Blizzard changed it about 3 or 4 weeks back. To do that go into your admincp, expand the Plugins & Products category, then click Plugin Manager and scroll down till you find the "Add signups to Event Description" plugin. Click the edit link next to that plugin and then search for armory.worldofwarcraft.com in the plugin code and change it to www.wowarmory.com. If you are on an EU server, you'll need to change armory.wow-europe.com to whatever URL they ended up settling on for the EU folks. I dont know what it is offhand since Im on a US server.

That should fix the problem you showed in the second attachment.

[Gryphon]

If you are on an EU server, you'll need to change armory.wow-europe.com to whatever URL they ended up settling on for the EU folks.eu.wowarmory.com

[Krieg]

Thanks a lot Pirotess for your idea.

You were right, the URL for the EU servers is now eu.wowarmory.com, so I changed it in the above plugin (two instances). But my problem remains and the correct details are still not showing up.

[VenomMaster]

Hi all,

after a long time i decided to update to the new version 'cause of several bugs.

Now i got a really serious Problem: The list field (dropdown) is empty! I doublechecked all my settings, but i can't find the place to change -.-

i use field9 for the Charname, i bashed it into the settings, but... nothing happens ;-)

Maybe anyone can help?

Sincerely,

Venom

[DDolphins]

I'm running into a problem. So far it is only happening on the one event. At the url www.battlegroundwarriors.com you can see it on our 9-19-07 Karazhan event

http://www.battlegroundwarriors.com/calendar.php?do=getinfo&day=2007-9-19&e=6&c=1

The last 4 signups seem to be messing up. The first Warlock is an actual warlock, the person under him is a hunter but is being listed as a warlock (same race, talent build as the actual warlock) Then it goes to a warrior who is an actual warrior but then the last person is a rogue but it pulls the warrior data.

Is there anyway I can fix this?

[SocialNetworkBuzz]

I am un able to read the instructions. Clicking on any gives me "The address is not valid"

[CoryHawk]

Elric.. is there a way to get the link on the output page for the character name to link to the armory instead of the board member page?

EDIT: Also.. is there a way to move signups as an admin? say.. move an active to the queue?

[memorex]

Thanks for this modification. Its awesome. I was wondering if theres a way to output the signup and Table portion of the event to the VBAdvanced center spot to easily get exposure.

[cgootgeld]

Really nice Mod Elric, all my guildies love it!

But.. >< we are having a small issues as DDolphins stated, the Alt signups seem to be using the previous signup armory data. No big deal just wondering if I missed something, this calendar is really great and much appreciated!

** Ok I think if figured out my problem. I had my character listed with all Caps in the name, I guess this causes as problem when pulling the armory data. Just and FYI for anyone else having this issue.

[Masked Crusader]

Hey Elric. Quick question for you bud.

I need to put a dividing line after the 25th person that signs up on the raid calendar. How could I do this?

[Disi]

Hiho Elric, didn't read through the whole thread, so hopefully no one else posted that befor :)

maybee just a idea for you next release (No Armory version):

to make everything language independend

The other thing is, you schould cache the armory side and just update it once a day. its sometime so slow that i could me a cap of cofee ;). A secound advantage is that if you cache it you got a working version if armory is down :)

Hi Noxious,

Our club playing 3 games at this moment. Not just WoW

I like to install this MOD for WoW members.
But I don't want to have option on vB sign-up page to insert WoW character data.

How I can remove that ? And if I remove that will that effect factuality of this mod?

Thank you,

[dune3000]

Any help on that ?

[hinch]

is this still being actively supported ?

[hinch]

OK having some major issues with version 1.2.7 if anyone knows how

Basically its special characters that are causing my nightmare more specifically our server name.

Al'Akir
the ' = %27

If in the admincp settings i set the server as Al'Akir i get the error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init() in /home/hinch/fa.com/includes/wowcalendar_functions.php on line 12

to resolve this i replaced the admincp server name with Al%27Akir

This gets past that initial error and allows me to view the calendar. However its now not parsing the character names in the usercp and not populating the dropdown lists. Again I believe the cause of this is the ' in the server name.

EU|Al'Akir|Horde|Hinch
EU|Al'Akir|Horde|Untard

However if i then this time replace the ' with %27 i get the same error as above.

Anyone got any suggestions

hmm ill quite don't get what you strait want, because its a WoW Event/Raidplaner so it is based on the characters.

I wouldn't use the armory because if its down you don't have any cache or something like it. The secound reason is that the page get realy slow.

The Problem you're talking about happens when you got a UTF-8 setup of your php/apache/os. it's a pain in the a**** you'll always get that kind of problems.

[hinch]

not fussed about it not working or being slow due to armoury as thats typically only temp

but this problem with the ' any idea of a work around?

[Disi]

To be onest, not realy,

you could check what $xml in the product-wow_calendar.xml calls for the page and/or replace the ' with a %27

[Gryphon]

It appears that it is not the server name. Does it work for any other servers? It appears more likely that you do not have cURL compiled with php.

The other thing is, you schould cache the armory side and just update it once a day. its sometime so slow that i could me a cap of cofee ;). A secound advantage is that if you cache it you got a working version if armory is down :)

Was thinking about this as well, members are complaining alot that the calendar is SOOO slow. (while it is actually the armory that is the bugger.)

So i agree with Disi.
Cache the characters like once per day (maybe even week..variable?) with a cron job.

And when people sign up, pull data straight from cache.

Yeah I'd have to agree, currently way too slow pulling data into the list. Had just one character and it took like 30 seconds. Looking for other alternatives until that's fixed =\

[LostPhoenix]

I was toying around with this mod and found that if you have two events for the same day (and view by day instead of event) you will get signed up for both events. Anyone else ran into this problem?

I did some more testing, and it seem the problem comes when reading from the database on the calendar date pages (not specific event). I checked the database, and each signup is only in for the correct event. Does this mean the strings aren't clearing?

[Collyn]

I'm not experiencing those errors on mine. It seems to be working fine with multiple sign ups on the same day. Other than the slowness that everyone else seems to be experiencing.

Risking duplicate entries if this happens I apologize we are 24+ pages deep now.
In our guild I have the issue where I have people with multiple raiding 70's more than 3 the issue with selectable names was fixed by adding the following.

in calendar_signup_form
find:
<if condition="$alternates">
<if condition="!$mycharacter[1]==''"><option value="$mycharacter[1]" <if condition="$mysignupname == $mycharacter[1]">selected</if>>$mycharacter[1]</option></if>
<if condition="!$mycharacter[2]==''"><option value="$mycharacter[2]" <if condition="$mysignupname == $mycharacter[2]">selected</if>>$mycharacter[2]</option></if>

Understand that your 1st character is 0, second is 1, 3rd is 2, and so on. Max characters that you can have on a server is 10. So after the above code add.

<if condition="!$mycharacter[3]==''"><option value="$mycharacter[3]" <if condition="$mysignupname == $mycharacter[3]">selected</if>>$mycharacter[3]</option></if>
<if condition="!$mycharacter[4]==''"><option value="$mycharacter[4]" <if condition="$mysignupname == $mycharacter[4]">selected</if>>$mycharacter[4]</option></if>
<if condition="!$mycharacter[5]==''"><option value="$mycharacter[5]" <if condition="$mysignupname == $mycharacter[5]">selected</if>>$mycharacter[5]</option></if>
<if condition="!$mycharacter[6]==''"><option value="$mycharacter[6]" <if condition="$mysignupname == $mycharacter[6]">selected</if>>$mycharacter[6]</option></if>
<if condition="!$mycharacter[7]==''"><option value="$mycharacter[7]" <if condition="$mysignupname == $mycharacter[7]">selected</if>>$mycharacter[7]</option></if>

this will extend the drop down and allow more selectable charaters for those guildies that have no life ;)

I too am having load time issues with the calendar. I've made sure that the Database is optimized and working properly but still experience long page load times. I thought this was an armory issue but the strange thing is that when I'm logged in as a Admin the calendar loads instantaneous, only when I'm logged in as a registered/member user do I have these problems. Could this be related to user permissions with the calendar and since we have over 100 members and only 1 admin be the cause of this?

[ranmasao12]

has anyone figured out how to address the speed issues when your linked into the armory. I figure the armory is slow so the calendar is slow. i would still like to link the character info but I dont want the system to hit the armory page on every load. If we could schedule a job to cache the info into the database then pull from there that would be great!:confused:

[eddiec]

The Drop Down List is not populating the character names. anyone got any idea why this would happen? i followed the directions as listed in the help file. Thanks for your time and help.

any delay in armory could cause this. This is also assuming that you have the info your CP correct and the field # in your cp matches the field # in your settings as well.

[Wayne Luke]

Would be nice if it cached the armory data in a table within the local site. That way it only has to retrieve information if there is a new character signing up.

[Collyn]

indeed, Caching the Armory every 24 hours or by button click would be a nice thing to see.

[Caerydd]

Is anyone still updating this, perhaps for 3.7 ? I'm considering new hosts that hopefully allow fopen_url so that I can use this script, I'd like to know if elricstorm is going to continue developing, or I should just stick with farcaster's event attendance + event forums :) I really like this product, and am will to donate if I see continued support and activity.

[Philipp G?rard]

I also - surprise! - experience the problem with insane loading times. I'll take a look into the sourcecode but wonder how that can anyways happen if curl is beeing used properly.

Also, sometime the data is beeing read out wrong from the arsenal, the second entry-data (warlock, blood-elf) also fills out the data for the third entry. I suppose that is because the arsenal-server is not reachable within some time.

[Ninok]

No more support for this? I'm having major timeout issues while using the calendar.

[Patriko]

can anyone mod the non-armory version to work with the gwowchar string?

[BigKev45]

Im having the issue where the Charcters names do not show up. I have installed the hack completely and gone over it about 4 times. The field is correct and so is the server. Any help is appericated.

Thanks

try that fix... worked like a charm for me!!

or...

open/edit the xml file

search for:
$xml = parse_wowarmory("http://" . $armory . "/character-sheet.xml?r=" . $vbulletin->options['wow_server'] . "&n=" . urlencode(utf8_encode($character)));

change to:
$xml = parse_wowarmory("http://" . $armory . "/character-sheet.xml?r=" . urlencode($vbulletin->options['wow_server']) . "&n=" . urlencode(utf8_encode($character)));

if you don't want to search, line 744

i also did this on a fresh install of the plugin

[mikey1974]

It was working perfectly there when i first installed it then some ppl entered / instead of | but i have since edited their profiles to reflect the correct changes.

But all i seem to get now is "The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers."

i have uninstalled it and reinstalled it over and over making sure that i aint messed something up and i am sure i have.

me = DUMB

[Philipp G?rard]

I changed parse_wowarmory() to the following and by that eliminated all problems (speed, wrong readouts etc.) I had:

function parse_wowarmory($url) {
require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_xml.php');

$useragent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4";
$header[] = "Accept-Language:en-en,de;q=0.8,en-us;q=0.5,en;q=0.3";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); // Ausgabe als String
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 20);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $useragent);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,$header);
$xml = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
if ($xml != false)
{
$xmlobj = new vB_XML_Parser($xml);
return $xmlobj->parse();
}
else
{
return false;
}
}

Just to let every one know, since the mod author has been MIA for some time, i plan on fixing updating and possibly re-writing this mod for my fellow wow players (hate the game).

If anyone has any requests, please reply, quoting this post so i know that it's a suggestion. Be sure to include any bugs that you may have noticed.

[Caerydd]

a version that doesn't require fopen_url would be fav >> curl libraries ftw.

Lastly - interpolability(sp) with Event Forums OR the ability to run alongside Farcaster's Event Attendance (so, WoW version on one calendar, farcaster's version on other calendars. This would be awesome for our raid calenders, but not so good for our RP/instance calendars)

If this is not possible/is too much work/too individual, no worries ^^

I do plan on making the URL retrieval use several methods, checking to see if the prefered method is useable and working down from there and updating my other mods to do the same thing.

Here are my requests:

1) Integrate with or provide functionality for the "Event Forums" addon.
I am going to try and fix this myself.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123416

2) Better armory integration if possible.

Aside from the slow speed, I haven't noticed any bugs. I am updating the xml retrieval with the function above but not sure if that will fix the speed issue.

I rewrote this mod pretty much from the ground up and have released it here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=170592).

Have you tried using this version? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=170592

It is 3.6.x compatible, and it's author is updating regularly.

I'm using vbulletin again. :)

[Rush2008]

On my board we have people that are not in our guild (Guild Guests) that often sign up for our events. These folks have a custom user title and are in a usergroup called "Guest".

It would be a wonderful addition if we could display whether the person signing up is a regular member of our guild, or a guest that would like to tag along on one of our raids.

There are some events that we want our first choices on the signup page to be our regular members and not our guests. Choosing between the two is difficult unless you check our members section to see their custom title, or check their usergroup.

Thanks,
Rush

I get this when I try to add myself to the event:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

I'm running the latest forum version 3.7.x

[elricstorm]

I'm upgrading this and adding it for Age of Conan therefore I will most likely work on the 3.7.x version as that is the current one I am using.

Can you share version for AoC with class names etc?

[The DaveyG]

I run a board for the NHL 09 video game's EASHL mode (basically an MMO for hockey, where a team of up to 50 can get together to play online hockey games). I need something to organize team play times. Would this be possible to adapt for this game? Can I have multiple private versions of these calendars that each team can run?

Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

[Vareyah]

I got the calender in, the option for sign up appears, and the character list, however, once I click to submit my attendance I get this message:

"Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

Any ideas what this security token may be?

Thanks for the mod. I really hope I can get it to work.

Same problem. Looks like this doesn't work with VB 3.8
