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.

Updated my site today from 3.7 RC3 to 3.7.0 "Gold"
When users try to sign up they get this message:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

To fix it, edit the template "gwe_signup_form"

Find:

<form action="calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=$eventinfo[eventid]" method="post">

Below Add:

<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

Should work again

works well.

I just reinstalled this on my site and it was taking a long time to update to I tried your suggestion. The scheduled task seem to work fine, so I'm not sure why the calendar interface takes so long.

After much searching I finally found the config options in the vBulletin options section. I know it sounds stupid but it'd help mentioning that's where it is.

Works well so far, the only thing I'd suggest would be:

a) An easy way to view how many healers/DPS/tanks have signed for a raid. This is much more important than seeing how many of a certain class joined.

b) A way to add the appropriate raid icon to the calendar entry.

My current guild uses PHPRaider for phpBB which offers both, however it's less integrated than gWoWEvents (which I just installed for my old guild)

any update on the "cron/cron.gwowevents.charinfo.php on line 50" issue? I am using vb 3.7 and the current version of gwowevents. My site has not had any updates in the past 2-3 days.

I'd love to use this on my guild's forums but we don't play WoW, we play SWG.
I've looked at the code but it's way too over my head to be able to convert it. Guess I'll have to go without.
Good mod though!

[Largo .//npc]

I've been looking through the code ect, and I've managed to get it looking more like what my guild need, although it's not really working properly. Would you be able to help us out or is that a no go?

I get Failed opening required './includes/class_gwowarmory.php' (include_path='...') in /.../forums/includes/cron/cron.gwowevents.charinfo.php on line 37

The file class_gwowarmory.php is not in the zip file.
Can we get a link to this?
Thanks.

I also noticed that if you set up recurring entries and then signup, it signs you up for every entry, not just the date you signed up on.

Otherwise, I like it.
