What does this Mod do?
[hr].[/hr]

This is a calendar mod that supports events created for World of Warcraft that allows signups for mains and alternates. Data for mains and alternates are pulled from the world of warcraft armory automatically and listed/displayed in a table format based on the style of your current site.

Current Version
[hr].[/hr]

Current beta version = 1.2.7 (recommended)
Current stable version = 1.2.6

Whether you are upgrading or installing from new, you ALL need to download the instructions and read them. There is a section for New Installs and a section for Upgrading. Inside there is also a NEW .CHM file (help file) that will also make it easier to read. I kept the instructions file in there as well but it's renamed to wowcalendar.txt instead. Review wowcalendar.chm if you are able to. It works better.

What is required?
[hr].[/hr]

You will essentially need to perform:
  • One product XML import
  • Two PHP file uploads
  • One Profile addition for User Profiles
  • One Template Modification
  • Uploading image files to the specified path listed in the instructions
Review the "instructions" contained in the zip file before installing this product.

Creating a Calendar Entry
[hr].[/hr]

When you create a calendar entry, single, recurring, etc. - make sure you enable users to signup (located at the bottom of the new calendar event form) (see the screenshot listed in this post). By default, it should place an automatic signup checkmark in that box. Once you submit, users will be able to signup.

Alternates
[hr].[/hr]

If you have alternates on, alternates can be used to signup with (only if people have added additional characters to their user profile. At this time, the calendar only reads the top 3 lines in the profile box so any more characters listed will not be usable in the calendar.

(i.e. if you have 7 characters listed, only the first 3 will be usable.

Armory Data
[hr].[/hr]

Armory Data is pulled as soon as a "registered" user checks the calendar event. This data is then replaced into the armorydata table for use later on with the signups. Remember to set your server and your locale as well. If your server has two words (ex. Scarlet Crusade) you would input Scarlet+Crusade in the server box. If you play on a US server you would put US in the locale box. If you play on a European Server you would input EU in the locale box. Make sure you set all appropriate options.

Options for your Calendar System
[hr].[/hr]

Go into your vb options and you will find two separate sections for setting options - one is for settings and one is for styles. You can change any options in here. Future revisions will include more substitutions/changes in this area.

SPECIAL THANKS TO:

[name]Farcaster[/name]:
For his initial MOD and ideas which got me started and into customizing the entire calendar. Farcaster's Event Attendance can be found at: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=129088

[name]Gryphon[/name]:
For helping with the original wow parser code and for giving me some tips/advice for working to implement it with the calendar system. In addition, Gryphon, formerly Blackjack, worked with me deeply to allow both this calendar and his current gWoWCharacter mod to be cross-compatible. He also helped with localization. Many thanks!

Oh you just have to have the field for it...cool.

It is working, we're getting there. Still takes about a minute to load and that seems to be something to do with the custom php. The titles above the fields aren't lining up right though.

And it have class before race and on the bottom they are the other way around.

As I mentioned in the .chm help file, the alternate names should be set as "optional". That's why they should not be a required field. Remember, some people have alternates and some people do not. Also, the ability to turn the alternates system off and on is right in the options. I tried to make the calendar "very admin friendly" and it's only going to get better in this regard.

Gooner is correct. Use a non-hacked version of the product file. Also, the product contains "phrase names" for everything. All you have to do is go to your phrases in your admincp and change the phrases to support whatever language you want. It's really that simple.

This isn't a hacked one, it's the new 1.2.6. hacking only comes after it's fixed, no fun messing up something that already has an issue ^_^

Only thing I want to change really will be the image it's using for the tables backgrounds..maybe add the class images at the top too.

I actually had the alts turned off or set to 0 anyways. But it had a hissy fit when I didn't have an alt in the alt 2 slot, so i just put a partial name in there to see if that would make it happy. didn't even think about it not being able to look the name up on the armory. But then if alts were turned off why was it trying to look it up anyways?

Version 1.2.6 Changes
  • Added new vboptions for adjusting table width
  • Added new vboptions for adjusting "all column" widths
  • Changed the talent naming to "direct" naming so now this information is not pulled from the armory but from a function instead
  • .chm file will not be updated this release (will change it next release)

Version now released.

Enjoy.

Changed files are the functions and product files so make sure you re-upload the new functions file (everyone).

Turning the "alts" system off excludes the ability for people to signup on alternates. It does not change the function from checking those fields though.
