World of Warcraft Event Calendar Details »» | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
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:
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: [hr].[/hr] [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!

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?

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. |

@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 |

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. |

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? |

With the new changes, it puts more emphasis on the user rather than the administrator. In addition, it supports cross-server, cross-faction. Thanks, |

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. |
