Vanguard - Saga of Heroes
Guild Roster Integration Hack

WHAT IS THIS?
This plugin integrates your guild's data obtained from vgplayers.station.sony.com with vBulletin

FEATURES:

• Automatically updates your guild's data once per hour. No more manually downloading the XML or CSV files.
• Allows you to specify the text for the headers of guild roster display
• Allows you to turn off certain columns is you so desire
• Ability to sort on most data... i.e. Name, Class, Level, Crafting Level, etc.

INSTALLATION:

Easy! Takes only a few minutes:

1. Edit line 27 of vgroster_import.php to include your guild's ID on vgplayers.station.sony.com
2. The line should look like this:
   

   $file ="http://vgplayers.station.sony.com/includes/guilds/guildsRosterCSV.vm?guildId=123456789";

3. Upload vgroster.php to the root of your forums. Upload vgroster_import.php to /includes/cron/
4. Import the xml into products. (AdminCP -> Plugin System -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product)
5. Edit the options. (AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> Vanguard Roster Settings)
   • Enter in the information specific to your guild... and the text you'd like displayed for the headers.
   • Also gives you the ability to turn off certain columns if you'd like.
6. Run the Scheduled Task once to populate the database with your guilds information. The task will run once per hour afterwards.
   (AdminCP -> Scheduled Task Manager -> Vanguard Roster Update -> Run Now)
7. View your roster at http://www.yourwebsite.org/yourforums/vgroster.php

You're done!



NOTE TO USER:
I am VERY new to vBulletin and .php coding. This is my first hack. I'll do my best to support it the best I can. I know if Sigil changes their format of the .csv file, we'll all need to do a little more work on it. Hope you enjoy this!

Please be gentle with your comments.

UPDATES:
Version 1.0.2: Initial Release (March 14, 2007)

Hrmmm.. well... I'll certainly look into it then.

It may have to wait until I get the next release of this hack out the door... which should be soon.

What version of PHP do you have? Do you know if safe mode is on?

http://us.php.net/fopen -- This is the function that opens the VGPlayers CSV file.



And here is the allow_url_fopen:



So it looks like you may be unable to run the scheduled task because safe mode for PHP is turned on.



Something you can try....

1. Download the CSV from VGPlayers manually. From your guild's page on VGPlayers, right-click the CSV List link and choose Save-As. The file will be something like "guildsRosterCSV.vm"
2. Rename that file to "guildsRosterCSV.csv" and upload it to your webserver.
3. Change line #27 in "vgroster_import.php" to the location of where you uploaded the CSV file in Step 2. Don't use a URL... use something similar to this:
   

   $file = "/forum_root/vgroster/guildsRosterCSV.csv";

4. Try the Scheduled Task and see if it works locally rather than trying to grab the CSV from a URL.

Worked great I have PHP 5.1 dont know why it would be set to safe mode but contacted the hosting company to have them change it, your work around worked great though!

Thanks a bunch

edit: Found the problem, fixed it myself. Disregaurd.

I was missing images in a directory that the template coding points to for the sort buttons, causing the roster to not be sortable.

[Gandiel]

Hey Xaices!

Was just about to reply. =)

Maybe see you on tonight. Kinsie and I "should" be there.

[Xaices]

Holy hell, Bro

You know it realy did not dawn on me that you were the Coder of this Hack, till just now. Damn bro nice work by the way.

Sorry I missed you in game last night. I was only on for a short time, Althrom and Tom were running the Unicorn Quest, and I, well Can you realy see a LG DK on a unicorn, well any ways just helped some of the Bladesworn guys try and down a few named in Thelaseen. Unfortunately no names where up all that were there were PH's. Lots of friken Heavy Ancient Drops tho, the most I have seen in 14 levels. 4 puldrons droped in the course of 3 hours, and numerous other pieces.

PM me any time on my site if you want to link up with the IRE Crew.
