When a person signs up on the calendar for an event it sits there on the sign up list with next to their names with Awaiting Armory data import... . Eventually they show up, but it seems to be a long wait process. I figured if it is automatically going out and acessing the armory ever 10, 15 min and so on then it should cahce it so it doesn't take so long to grab data for on the calendar events. Does the Gwowevent and the Gwowroster character info share the same data that gets pulled/polled every 10, 15, etc. min.?

Just curious if there is a way around the long "Awaiting Armory data import..." on the event calendar really or is it working as intended?

Not complaining just trying to get an idea on how it works and if there is a way to get it to pull data faster if not by caching locally to a data base, maybe bypass the armory for the calendar events or something?

I love the hacks/mods they are awesome. Just curious.

It takes a snapshot for a character per event, it does not user prior cache for new events. The reason for a snapshot per event is for historical data not yet implemented, it is working as intended.

Ah ok just figured I would ask seeing I don't know alot about this. :) It has been educational. :) BTW again nice addons and thank you for going through and making the time to help me understand how this works. :)

Will this work with vB Advanced?
Does it come with the template or do I need to create my own?

Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean by "works with" it, but I'm guessing you could write/use a module with it. I currently use an "Upcoming Events" module which also displays these events.

Found a small issue. If someone signs up who at the time was untalented, then although it shows up correctly there is a missing image where there would normally be a graphic icon representing their spec. The file it is looking for, which isn't present on my site or in the latest zip, is \images\misc\gwowevents\icons\spec\11-None.gif

just downloaded this, one question how do you setup events and what not? cant seem to figure it out

I tried installing this today and I get an immediate error:


Any idea?

I even wiped the forum and re-installed this and get the same problem.

Thanks.

@Mithan not sure how it happened. But use phpMyAdmin to delete the gwe_signup column from the event table then install the mod.

I've done that and it still wont work :(

It just refuses to install for some reason.


Do you think it could be do to some setting with mysql?
