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.

Yeah... I was kind of excited when I found the typos because I thought that would fix the problem, but there is something else wrong besides. I hope this gets resolved soon... if you've ever seen this mod in action, you know why I'm holding out as long as I can before moving to something else. If you haven't... it's VERY nice!

If you get the problem figured out, lemme know 'cause I'm anxious to get this thing re-installed and put into use!

Thanks for this mod(and the other gWOW mods!).
ive had this mod working in the past, but recently updated to 1.0.7.

After the update, the calendar had the link "Add characters to your profile to singup for this event." and no place to sign up. Im sure the Profile Field ID is correct... have i missed something?

update- got it. had to type in the server name. now have the same failing cron jobs people have already posted. im trying to get it set up in my server cron now.

phrase gwe_add_characters:
"Add characters to your profile to singup for this event."

typo : signup

Request:

Configurable fields to query and/or put into the skills listed on the events.

If I had to pick a couple right this second, I'd add spell damage bonus/healing bonus and attack power/ranged attack power. But fully configurable would be nice.

Hmm. Restrict levels for an event?

Require approvals? Sort of a queue for Signed up, which is then either Approved/Standby/Denied. The event creator (or better yet, a particular usergroup) can do the queue moderation.

Finally: require a particular usergroup to create an event? I suppose I can do that with the calendar permissions though.

Just thinking out loud here, I guess. None of this is terribly easy, I suspect.

Thanks for great mod. *checks Installed*

I think I figured out what was going on. In addition to the typos on the signup variables, there were two items that were flip-flopped. Once I traded places with these two buggers... everything seemed to work.

You are looking for DATELINE_TO_USER and DATELINE_FROM_USER... they only appear once in the XML... just flip-flop them and you should be good. At least everything started working for me. Once the change was made, single-event signup started working and I was unable to sign up for events that had already passed.

If you already have 1.07 installed, but not working correctly, simply make the changes to the XML and re-import it (I did it with overwrite enabled). If you're not comfortable with editing the XML file... I've attached mine. Just be aware that this may not have solved ALL problems, but it did resolve mine as far as I can tell thus far.

I'm just stoked 'cause I get to start using this mod again!

[Gryphon]

Thank you slick368, an update has been made.

Can I make a feature request to add moderation for raids? IE

Mage1 signs up and is placed into the queue with a comment of Yes On Time

Officer1 then has to go into the event and moderate Mage1 as an Active member of the raid.

[Gryphon]

Thanks for the feature suggestion. It certainly is possible, I just don't see myself having time to develop that relatively soon.

I would love to see these above, if I had to pick any of them it would be configurable stats shown from armory and Approved/Standby/Denied option.

Hi to all, i really like this mod, but i have a small problem.
i use vbulletin 3.8 and gwowevents 1.0.8.
even when i use in options "Choose when signups should be disabled for an event." "Never". it is not possible to signup on any event on the actual date.
example: Event is on 26. January, signup is only possible till 25. January. on 26 January i get the message: Signup for this event is no longer available.

for me this function is very important for maby-people, to change the status.

further one more question:
somebody know a way to use "Forum Events" or is there any other mod to start a forum thread for each "Raid"

Thank you very much for your Help.

PS, next problem, sorry.
not possible to ad a member with the function "yes, Late"
