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!

It was working perfectly there when i first installed it then some ppl entered / instead of | but i have since edited their profiles to reflect the correct changes.

But all i seem to get now is "The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers."

i have uninstalled it and reinstalled it over and over making sure that i aint messed something up and i am sure i have.

me = DUMB

I changed parse_wowarmory() to the following and by that eliminated all problems (speed, wrong readouts etc.) I had:

Code:
function parse_wowarmory($url) {
	require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_xml.php');

	$useragent	= "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4";
	$header[] 	= "Accept-Language:en-en,de;q=0.8,en-us;q=0.5,en;q=0.3";
	$ch = curl_init();
	curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
	curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); // Ausgabe als String
	curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 20);
	curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $useragent);
	curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,$header);
	$xml = curl_exec($ch);
	curl_close($ch);
	if ($xml != false)
	{
		$xmlobj = new vB_XML_Parser($xml);
		return $xmlobj->parse();
	}
	else
	{
		return false;
	}
}

Just to let every one know, since the mod author has been MIA for some time, i plan on fixing updating and possibly re-writing this mod for my fellow wow players (hate the game).

If anyone has any requests, please reply, quoting this post so i know that it's a suggestion. Be sure to include any bugs that you may have noticed.

a version that doesn't require fopen_url would be fav >> curl libraries ftw.

Lastly - interpolability(sp) with Event Forums OR the ability to run alongside Farcaster's Event Attendance (so, WoW version on one calendar, farcaster's version on other calendars. This would be awesome for our raid calenders, but not so good for our RP/instance calendars)

If this is not possible/is too much work/too individual, no worries ^^

I do plan on making the URL retrieval use several methods, checking to see if the prefered method is useable and working down from there and updating my other mods to do the same thing.

Here are my requests:

1) Integrate with or provide functionality for the "Event Forums" addon.
I am going to try and fix this myself.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123416

2) Better armory integration if possible.

Aside from the slow speed, I haven't noticed any bugs. I am updating the xml retrieval with the function above but not sure if that will fix the speed issue.

Yeah, I installed it but I get this error and have no idea what it means

Code:
Warning: Unknown(./includes/wowcalendar_functions.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /calendar.php(1209) : eval()'d code on line 2

Fatal error: (null)() [function.require]: Failed opening required './includes/wowcalendar_functions.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/riosjoe/public_html/bloodshed/calendar.php(1209) : eval()'d code on line 2
