Add-On Releases - Warhammer - Enhanced Roster

I received a lot of requests to release the roster found on my guild site.

This roster gives you a lot of additional statistics in a nice Google jsAPI hosted applet for better performance.


NOTE: Does not support EU servers at this stage!!
Unfortunately Mythic does not provide stats out of Europe.

Standard Features (all players):

• Character Name
• Class
• Race
• Rank
• Renown Rank
• Title
• javascript applet for roster table with full column sorts
  
• JSON feed
• XML feed
• Color coded "time since last login".

Additional Features (for players with curse client):

• Primary Tradeskill
• Primary Tradeskill Level
• Renown Title
• HP

Installation:
1. You must register for an API key.
API link.

2. vBadvanced (tested)
The Whirlpool Gamers website uses vBadvanced CMPS so I have created a module that can be uploaded using admincp:

• Download module xml file (below). Edit the xml file and change the API key value to that value you generated in step1.
• Open your admincp
• Select vBa CMPS left menu
• Select download / upload module
• Select module to upload, choose a style and set permissions.
• Save, then add to whichever page you want to display it. Due to the number of statistics, it makes sense for fixed width styles to have a single column page display the roster.

3. vBulletin installations. (untested as yet - please provide comments)
You will need to create a template and insert the following code:

PHP Code:

<div id="wp-container"></div>    
        <script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            google.load("prototype", "1.6"); 
            google.load("scriptaculous", "1.8.1");
        </script>
        <script src="http://www.wpgamers.com/api/tablekit.js"></script>
        <script src="http://www.wpgamers.com/api/tooltip.js"></script>
        <script src="http://www.wpgamers.com/api/WP.js"></script>
        <script src="http://www.wpgamers.com/api/war/<your API key>/characters.js"></script> 


Important Notes:

1. It may take several hours after you first register for an API key before we have gathered all the statistics for your guild. The data you see at first may be historical, or no data may be shown at all until the first update is completed.
2. This module is a javascript based on the popular prototype library as hosted by Google.
3. Whirlpool Gamers provides a data service from which the javascript client gets your guilds data.
4. This product cannot be used for commercial purposes without consent of the author.
5. Although highly unlikely, outages of the Whirlpool Gamers data server will result in your roster appearing blank. We accept no responsibility / liability for such issues.
6. Support is provided on a best efforts basis.

More features and enhancements to come.

This forum must not be used for personal attacks in any form, if we find it is then action will be taken.

I have tried for almost a week to get help from the Author with no success. I have a guild that is not listed in his list of guilds so I cannot get the API. I know the person is on line as he does respond to his other guild mates in the web based chat program.

This looks like a nice add-on the I was intereted in but since the lack of assistance I will not recommend this add-on.

I sent you a PM asking you whether you are on an EU server.

I'm yet to receive a reply.

PM was not received on this site or the main site, but I am not on a EU server.

Yeah I did some checking before I got your response. Your server is coming up, but for some reason your guild isn't listing. Have a few things to get done before looking into this in more detail, but shouldn't take much longer.

Can anyone tell me how I would go about accessing this page once it's installed on my forums? I followed the instructions on getting the API key, etc... I created a sample webpage to make sure the data was pulling ok and it is. I just don't know enough about vBulletin to know how to setup or where I would access the page from.

Any updates?

Tried again today and it is still not there.

BTW, I figured out what I needed to do thought vBA, sorry to bug anyone.

My only question now is, can I use this on the same forum for multiple guilds? We have a guild on two different servers, one for Order and one for Dest. I've tried and it just doesn't seem to work with adding in more than 1 guild.

[dodjer42]

You would need to create another module (using a different module name). Then simply modify the API key value for the appropriate guild.
