Support
[hr]value[/hr]I use my released mods daily, if I find an issue with them or add features for myself I will release updates. If there are significant bugs or simple feature requests I will do my best to release fixes. Some of my mods rely on fetching data from 3rd party websites, due to the unreliable results, my mods will require users to troubleshoot for themselves if they find the addon is not working for them specifically. I am offering my personal mods that work ok for me for you to use, I am sorry I do not have time to troubleshoot many user specific issues. Thank you for your understanding.

Got my gwowroster installed and working finally. Here were my steps.

- properly installed and configured gwowroster through product/plugin manager & vbulletin options
- made the utf encoding changes in 'cron.gwowroster.charinfo.php' as stated in Souli's post above
- went to admincp -> Scheduled Task Manager
- manually ran 'gWoWRoster Guild Info Update' first (grabs data about your guild like whos in it)
- then manually ran 'gWoWRoster Guild Info Update'

Some of you may notice that through the 'gWoWRoster Guild Info Update', it is only updating maybe 1 or 2 characters per run. This is because the query limit is too sensitive. (Reason probably due to prevent bogging down systems). To fix this, locate the following line in 'cron.gwowroster.charinfo.php':

PHP Code:

$limit = ceil($count['count'] / 70); 


and change the '70' to something like:

PHP Code:

$limit = ceil($count['count'] / 10); 


I had 100 people in my guild that needed talent updating, so I just ran that cron job manually about 10 times to update everything after initial install.

It is set to update the roster over the course of a day, which varies per run depending on how many people are in the guild, there is no sense in increasing the rate really. The fake vBulletin cron does not handle large processes well on it's own. Manual works because you wait for it, but on it's own it doesn't do as well.

Just have patience, wait a day for it to populate, you lived this long without a roster on your site another day doesn't hurt. I wouldn't recommend others change the code.

Hi all, first thanks for this astonishing mod u rock dude!!! anyway, i'm getting this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init() in /home/potukne/public_html/forum/includes/class_gwowarmory.php on line 170

do i need to have implemented the curl function?? or i can avoid this with a workaround??? cs my hosting service is windows and i cannot switch to unix so is there any way to get this up&running without the curl??

thanks in advance, i'm looking forward to a solution please :P

[Gryphon]

@Irion, the addon is pretty much all phrased, you can edit the gWoWRoster phrases.

@Heretiko, there is no workaround at the moment. curl is not limited to unix afaik. I understand some hosts may not want to put in the work to enable it however, it is on my list of things to do, but at the moment the list isn't getting any smaller.

I am having an issue where Gwowroster isn't updating the talents? Is this still a known issue?

It takes a while to update each characters talents, just wait.

Thanks for the great addon. However, I am having some issues. It seems it can no longer parse the results from Armory properly. When I run the cron job manually, I get these results:

Array
(
    [globalSearch] => 1
    [lang] => en_us
    [errorhtml] => 
    [characterInfo] => Array
        (
            [talentTab] => Array
                (
                    [talentTree] => 
                )

        )

)

As you can see, no actual information is shown.

[Gryphon]

[errorhtml] is only when a page returns an error. Sometimes there is an error returned on valid characters, just wait it out a bit. What led you to find that the character profiles weren't updating?
