:p any idea when 1.2.7 will be released, im allready looking forward to it :)

Well, that's a very good question mate. Here's what I'm currently doing.

I completely overwrote and remodeled abe1's form-hack 4.0 product and created a 100% fully customizable world of warcraft recruitment form for my guild. I'm finalizing the product and fixing a few of the customizations before I release it to the general public. It's really nice and has 2 to 3 sections of vboptions with which to customize the form with. You can even include or exclude different sections, include new questions/answers for your form, etc right in vboptions.

The second reason why I'm finishing up this product is because I'm going to be using part of the features from this product to add to calendar event creation. So, it's important I finish this second product and then continue working on the next release.

I am, however, still working on minor adjustments for 1.2.7. The actual event creation bit probably won't come out until 1.3.0.

• ETA: This weekend sometime for the recruitment form product
• ETA: Next weekend sometime for adjustments to the calendar

I hope that helps.

Nicw!, Cant wait, That form hack modification sounds nice, ill definatly be replacing mine with yours :)

Today, for no reason as all, i have made no changes to the database, ive not even been home, i get home and i find in my emails, about 70 of these like errors:

Do you know whats worng? i havnt touched anything since yesterday, and it was working fine yesterday.

Maybe Blizzard made some change to the armory?

It's trying to update Goonerr correctly but there is an issue with the alternate(s) listed for Goonerr. Check your alternate data information and make sure whatever names are listed there are correct. No changes to the armory for US and no issues here since releasing 1.2.6. Check your alternates (that's the empty data it's trying to pass). I'm not saying yours is incorrect but that's where I would start first.

Secondly, keep in mind that I don't control the armory so therefore I can't efficiently run "down" tests against it. All I can do is safely assume everything is working as intended when the armory does go down. I really wish they would bring the armory down for about 2 or 3 days so that I could make some touchup adjustments.

thanks for the headsup though.

Added World of Warcraft Recruitment Form addon this morning. Check it out if you want:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1274436

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 ^_^

ok, i add this mod, all seems to be going well, when i go to add an event and enable sign up and save it it just goes to a white screen. when i check the calandar page again the event is there. but if anyone goes to click the even to signup it takes them to a white screen. lol what am i doing wrong. help. :P

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

Let's start with that for starters.

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.

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.

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.

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/ca...=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:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1276906

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.

OMG OMG NM it worked!

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.

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?

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.

got it turned off now :D

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. :)

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).

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.

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.

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?

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

any help?

http://www.forgottencrusaders.com/im...eenShot002.jpg

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

http://www.forgottencrusaders.com/im...eenShot005.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
