What does this Mod do?
[hr].[/hr]

This is a calendar mod that supports events created for World of Warcraft that allows signups for mains and alternates. Data for mains and alternates are pulled from the world of warcraft armory automatically and listed/displayed in a table format based on the style of your current site.

Current Version
[hr].[/hr]

Current beta version = 1.2.7 (recommended)
Current stable version = 1.2.6

Whether you are upgrading or installing from new, you ALL need to download the instructions and read them. There is a section for New Installs and a section for Upgrading. Inside there is also a NEW .CHM file (help file) that will also make it easier to read. I kept the instructions file in there as well but it's renamed to wowcalendar.txt instead. Review wowcalendar.chm if you are able to. It works better.

What is required?
[hr].[/hr]

You will essentially need to perform:
  • One product XML import
  • Two PHP file uploads
  • One Profile addition for User Profiles
  • One Template Modification
  • Uploading image files to the specified path listed in the instructions
Review the "instructions" contained in the zip file before installing this product.

Creating a Calendar Entry
[hr].[/hr]

When you create a calendar entry, single, recurring, etc. - make sure you enable users to signup (located at the bottom of the new calendar event form) (see the screenshot listed in this post). By default, it should place an automatic signup checkmark in that box. Once you submit, users will be able to signup.

Alternates
[hr].[/hr]

If you have alternates on, alternates can be used to signup with (only if people have added additional characters to their user profile. At this time, the calendar only reads the top 3 lines in the profile box so any more characters listed will not be usable in the calendar.

(i.e. if you have 7 characters listed, only the first 3 will be usable.

Armory Data
[hr].[/hr]

Armory Data is pulled as soon as a "registered" user checks the calendar event. This data is then replaced into the armorydata table for use later on with the signups. Remember to set your server and your locale as well. If your server has two words (ex. Scarlet Crusade) you would input Scarlet+Crusade in the server box. If you play on a US server you would put US in the locale box. If you play on a European Server you would input EU in the locale box. Make sure you set all appropriate options.

Options for your Calendar System
[hr].[/hr]

Go into your vb options and you will find two separate sections for setting options - one is for settings and one is for styles. You can change any options in here. Future revisions will include more substitutions/changes in this area.

SPECIAL THANKS TO:
[hr].[/hr]
[name]Farcaster[/name]:
For his initial MOD and ideas which got me started and into customizing the entire calendar. Farcaster's Event Attendance can be found at: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=129088

[name]Gryphon[/name]:
For helping with the original wow parser code and for giving me some tips/advice for working to implement it with the calendar system. In addition, Gryphon, formerly Blackjack, worked with me deeply to allow both this calendar and his current gWoWCharacter mod to be cross-compatible. He also helped with localization. Many thanks!

Awesome mod otherwise, keep up the good work.
I'm working on some general cleanup on the mod, separating styles/fonts etc. into another configuration page, and adding some localization. I've just been tremendously busy at work so give me a week or so and I will have the next release version up.

Hey Elricstrom

I'm completely stuck.

I was going to PM this to you but couldn't do an attachment.

Elricstorm, Could you please repost the last version before the Armory update? My Blizz site I run is a community site for several realms. As much as I love the armory concept, it won't work for my needs as it is limited to one realm now.

I recently replaced my hard drive, so don't have the older version install files anymore.

I've just move my guilds site onto a new server but now the mod doesn't work, will the server running in safe mode prevent it from working?

Read the troubleshooting section in the .chm help file as it explains that. There are also several posts on here explaining the same issue which is why I put it in the help file.

I would never put PHP in safe mode. That will affect a ton of PHP scripts and PHP files that others have.

I placed up "another" zip file on the main addon page that called NO_ARMORY_VERSION_WITH_INSTRUCTIONS.zip that you can download and use. Thanks for the reminder of putting that version up as well for those that don't want to use or follow the armory data version.
