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.

@Renny, that is not included in this mod. You can edit the calender event templates and include the following rough example:

<if condition="$eventinfo['calendarid'] == 'CALENDAR_ID'"> IMAGE_CODE </if>

It is tough to know exactly how the user in your screenshots created theirs, maybe a different event manager or a calendar per instance. On my site, I have a WoW calendar and it shows a WoW icon next to events scheduled for it. The CALENDER_ID is the number for the calender, in my case "3" and the IMAGE_CODE is the WoW icon.

This is something you will have to work out on your own however, you will need to be comfortable with customizing various templates.

@Sedition-Guild, Kinneas is correct, thank you.

[Kinneas]

Thanks for the updates Gryph

[Kinneas]

Nice update again Gryph. One thing I noticed after upgrading is that the new(?) template, gwe_visitorbit is uncached. I've added it to the cache_templates plugin on my installation.

[Gryphon]

Ok, I'll fix that.

I've installed the addon, and it's working fine apart from the scheduled task. It doesn't seem to run by itself, and there are no sheduled task logs for it. If I run it manually, no problem at all, but takes a little while to load.

A friend has this problem as well. I think that the vBulletin cron system is just not powerful enough to handle the lengthy process. Personally, I schedule vBulletin's cron.php to run via real cron to ensure it runs completely.

I can not reproduce this. I thought maybe it was php5 so I upgraded from php4 and still had no trouble with receiving updates.

Please try this attachment and let me know if it solves the problem.

Ok Figured out that issue.. Now does the updating from armory always take so long?
