The blank signups are confusing me also, If this is because of members signing without using a character name, Is it possible to make it a requirement to have a character name, and if they dont have one, dont allow them to signup, Here is a screenshot of the wierdness.

[PS] You may noticed i removed the Maybe button from the signup option, This is due to our guild not allowing maybes.

The first two blank rows on that screenshot are because two people in your guild did not fill in their "main character" name. The one for Taursos is due to an armorydata sync issue which I fixed in 1.1.9. I noticed you are on 1.1.8. In 1.1.9 I fixed the issues with the problem you are having. The basic concept is this:

When people go to the event, they call their own main character name, alternate1 name, and alternate2 name data from the armory and store it in the armorydata table. The previous issue was that sometimes certain people would have "connection" problem and would hit the armory and not finish the data polling. They would then update their own armorydata information into the new table I created with "blank" data.

This issue has been fixed in 1.1.9.

Now they use an fsocketopen for timeout and there's also a check to make sure that they aren't passing empty data back to your own database armorydata table. If they are trying to pass empty data, it simply does not allow any updates to occur, saving the data already there in the table. I hope that makes sense.

To temporarily fix the issue, you can do one of two things.

• Download and install 1.1.9 and insert their data manually into the armorydata table.
• Download and install 1.1.9 and tell them to visit the event again, which will forceably fix the issue automatically.

In addition

You need to make sure that the main character profile field you created is "required" at time of registration and on update/edits. If you do not do this, you will encounter similar things. What's really happening here is that people on your site are not updating the required field. The only real issue you are experiencing is the empty data problem on Taursos. You can update his information manually this one time after updating to 1.1.9 or have him revisit the event.

The design reasoning was to be able to bypass a manual update or another button update push to populate the armorydata table I created. I might, in future versions provide an admin udpate which would do that so you can manually push and sync your armorydata information if you encounter such a problem.

I hope that helps answer the question. If anyone on 1.1.9 after making sure you have no empty database in the armorydata encounters this problem, I'd like to know. Please remember that the person whose data is blank needs to revisit the event to repopulate the data or you can manually do it for them by editing their information directly in the armorydata table. After you do this, it shouldn't reoccur.

With anything new (armorydata) expect some bugs. But, I'll make sure they all get fixed.
