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.

This looks to be a problem in the new version. I reverted everything back to the previous version and it worked without a problem, so I guess until the problems is resolved, I'll just use the pre-WoTLK version. This is too cool a mod not to have even if it's a bit out of date.

When I attempt to add this I get the following error
Attachment 90356

Has anyone encountered this?
If I continue, configure all the settings, then create an event. I get a VBDatabase error.

I love this mod, but ended up not using it. If you added a way to draft people on the sign up, then I would use it. As it stands, I use phpraider to do my current sign ups because I can easily draft and people can check it to see if they are going to a raid or not. I would much rather use your mod, so if you ever feel like expanding the functionality of this, that is where I would go next.

Can anybody who has this successfully working please link to your Forum Hosting Privder?

I want to switch hosts since mine has some stupid blocks in preventing this from working.

Thanks.

I think I got this thing installed, but when I go post an Event on the Calendar, it doesn't ask me for a gWOWEvent, thus it isn't being used...

Any ideas?

[Mithan]

Also, I can not find a Calander Select option... where is that supposed to be because I do not have it in the gWoWRoster settings area...

Thanks.

Still having problems with ver 1.07 of this mod. Can sign up for events if they are either ranged or recurring, but not single. Could part of the problem be the apparent 4 or 5 typos in the code, as they read singup instead of signup.

I'd like to see this problem worked out. I love this mod and went back to the 1.05 version for a bit because it worked, but it is out of date and my users know it. At this point, I'm ready to uninstall it and go with something else since the author's only responses to several of us (if we were lucky enough to receive one) seem to insist that we are either installing or using the mod incorrectly and that is the cause of the problem when this thing obviously has problems.

Please take a look into this and see if you can get it resolved. I really enjoy this mod and want to keep using it. I have other options here, but none of them are as nice as this one when it works!

I will look into this, just been stretched thin lately on several projects and holidays.

What part of the code / file are those typos as i wish to manually correct them to fix the issue my end, i would really like single events to be working.

[Bukusami]

I just looked and changed the xml file find & replace all singup / signup and single event still says i cannot sign up, only the other events allow signup.

Also Armoury update does not work, it just goes straight to done on a manual update, while i was testing a ranged event and it was fetching armoury info i ran a update task and it imported events, well it said it did but they do not show up on the calender.
