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.

When I try to edit the setting for this mod, it won't accept the custom profile field I have set-up from gWowChar. I hit save and it resets the field I enter to 0.

[Gryphon]

Just enter the field number, enter "12" not "field12".

[RustyDogma]

Aye, was just coming back to say I figured it out =P Thanks!

Great add on... the only change I'd love to see is when signing-up a character, have 3 checkboxes of tank, heal, dps (kinda like the new LFG does it in game) so people could check off which role(s) they would be willing to perform for different events.

[Gryphon]

Sounds like a nice idea. I am not sure when I would be able to do such a thing. Sadly, we are using the in-game guild calendar more and this mod isn't getting much use anymore by my guild so less motivation for me to work on it.

[CFodder]

Nice mod, have it installed as will be doing with your other 2 as well .

Coupla small problems with it, firstly all secondary skills (cooking, first aid, fishing and riding) are showing as zero even though I've been assured by a coupla members they have those skills (I dunno I don't play the game) all the other stats have updated fine from the armoury.

Secondly, and this 'aint a biggy, layout is slight borked for the classes and the warrior at the end is 'scrunched' up with the icon above the name. Am using fluid width boards so it should all set automatically as far as I'm aware??.

Seems the problem came back. I removed and re-installed again and same problem. All of our events are locking down signups about a day and a half before the event starts, regardless of any settings.

in the gWE: Add signups to Event Description plugin, change:

    // Allow Post signup
    if(TIMENOW <= $eventinfo['dateline_from_user'])
    {
        $eventinfo['gwe_post_signup'] = true;
    }
    else
    {
        $eventinfo['gwe_post_signup'] = false;
    }

to:

    // Allow Post signup
    if(TIMENOW <= $eventinfo['dateline_from_user'])
    {
        $eventinfo['gwe_post_signup'] = true;
    }
    else
    {
        $eventinfo['gwe_post_signup'] = true;
    }

That seemed to sort it for me.

[Replicators]

Wish there was something like this for age of conan

EDIT: Could this mod be easily changed to suit other mmo's?

[Pen411]

I'm confused on how to access this calendar, events posted to the calendar do not show up as a wow event.

[Pen411]

Seems to be working (the profile field cannot be private).
However, I do get this error when installed:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /public_html/forum/admincp/plugin.php(1995) : eval()'d code on line 2

Gryphon the addon is working but its verry slow when loading it, can this be speeded up sum how.
