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 07-20-2007 07:52 PM

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 07-21-2007 02:47 AM

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

deathemperor 07-27-2007 06:10 AM

Thanks for making this hack, it is very nice.

I've modified the following stuff to make it more like a raid calendar:
  1. Add Image to the event like official wow raid calendar (live: http://www.holvn.org/forum/calendar.html?c=2)
  2. In the event display, the width of the columns are now rearraged correctly so it looks more beauty and easier to read.
  3. Change the link to the forum member info to the link to their official Armory data.
  4. 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.
  5. Added Talent images for each build.
  6. 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.
  7. 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 ).
  8. Fixed an error when you input the wrong character name and view the event by checking if $xml has data.
  9. 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 !

those changes sound nice, kinda makes me wish my php skils were better

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 07-28-2007 01:22 AM

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();.

#7: If you have a copy of those image files and they are already labeled, go ahead and zip them up and put them here and I'll include them in the next release. 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 07-28-2007 02:27 PM

#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 08-02-2007 12:11 PM

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.

So noted. thanks,

apocnur 08-02-2007 11:29 PM

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 08-03-2007 01:18 PM

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 08-09-2007 12:20 PM

@louth,

You would have to ask that on the gWoWChar - World of Warcraft Character Menu Mod

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 08-10-2007 04:13 PM

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 08-11-2007 06:26 PM

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...=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 :)

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 08-26-2007 12:08 AM

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 08-26-2007 08:07 PM

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 08-27-2007 12:55 AM

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/ca...8-26&e=161&c=1

elricstorm 08-27-2007 10:49 AM

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.

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 08-29-2007 08:58 PM

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 08-31-2007 09:20 PM

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 09-01-2007 04:16 AM

Never mind, I found what to edit :)

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

manub 09-02-2007 07:56 AM

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 09-02-2007 06:29 PM

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

Is an old fashion .txt so bad *puppy dog eyes*

*emails self a copy of the file, and opens on PC* Good thing I'm at home >>

Caerydd 09-02-2007 08:06 PM

Gragh sod.

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

*crai*

http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Allow_url_fopen

*sigh* Um. I guess I look for a new server, unless someone can help me with this.

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 09-04-2007 03:33 PM

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

manub 09-06-2007 11:02 AM

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?

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,

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 09-10-2007 07:07 PM

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

Gryphon 09-10-2007 08:34 PM

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

Kahoona 09-10-2007 10:41 PM

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

Caerydd 09-11-2007 09:36 AM

:-/

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 09-11-2007 02:43 PM

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.
