There is a drawback to this that is difficult to avoid.  The problem is, however, rare. When changing the Updater Interface URL, the only way to update UU, is to redistribute UU. This is sometimes annoying for you and/or the Guild members.

The NSIS script allows you to build your own installer. To include guild settings in the installer, construct a settings.ini file then un-comment a line in the script (will see how to do this in the script itself, quite trivial). See [[UniUploader:Distribution|UniUploader Distribution]] for more information.

Such things as "start with windows" and "auto-launch WoW" you must be careful with because it could anger your users if they don't desire so much automation.<br>

If the directory that you are uploading to requires basic HTTP authentication set by a .htaccess file, then fill in the settings for HTTP Credentials, found in the Options tab. If you have some other sort of authentication system then you will need to fill in the "additional variables" fields. Replace "arg1" with "username" (this is the name of the variable), and "value1" with the actual username. Use the same method for the password. You can use the "additional variables" for other things such as keeping track of which distrib the user is using.

If you have authorization using traditional form fields both hidden and visible, "additional variables" fields. Replace "arg1" with "username" (this is the name of the variable), and "value1" with the actual username. Use the same method for the password.

There may not be permutations between fields and sites.  This limitation is a long root in the program's history, and needs to be pulled.

After the data from the website has been appended into the SV file, WoW Addon's can use the data. When logging out of WoW, if 1 or more addons have RegisterForSave set for the data, then it will remain in the SV file. There should never be more than 1 copy of the same variable in the SV file if the upload button is'nt pressed manually. If there are more than 1 of the same variable/data in the SV file, the addons will use the last (latest) copy of the variable/data. UniUploader will retrieve and append the data every time the upload button is pressed and (if option is set) when changes in the SV file are detected.

Common Practices

UU is designed to provide basic functionality with minimal settings. One of the best ways to set this up as an administrator is to "pre-configure" UU and then distribute it to Guild Members. This way your users don't have to worry about any of the settings in UU. They can just run the exe and they are ready for action. UniAdmin is also used for UniUploader administration and offers the ability to change settings without distributing a new installer.

There is a drawback to this that is difficult to avoid. The problem is, however, rare. When changing the Updater Interface URL, the only way to update UU, is to redistribute UU. This is sometimes annoying for you and/or the Guild members.

The NSIS script allows you to build your own installer. To include guild settings in the installer, construct a settings.ini file then un-comment a line in the script (will see how to do this in the script itself, quite trivial). See UniUploader Distribution for more information.

They are some good ways to ensure your users have everything running properly and the way you want it to. You could turn on "Auto-Launch WoW" and/or "Start with Windows". Then instruct your users to just run UU and it will launch WoW, so they can essentially replace any links to the WoW executable, and just use UU to start WoW.

Warning.png Warning: Settings such as "Start with Windows" and "Auto-launch WoW" must be dealt with carefully since these settings could anger your users if they don't desire this level of automation.

You can customize UU with your own images.
There are currently 2 images in UU, which are logo1.gif and logo2.gif. logo1.gif is displayed in the Settings tab on the right, and logo2.gif is on the about tab. You don't need to have the images there if you want the distrib to be smaller.
If you do wish to equip UU with either or both of the images, here are the requirements:

  1. The images must be named correctly
  2. The images must be in the same directory as UU
  3. The images must be a certain format (GIF, JPG, PNG)
  4. The images can have wierd dimensions, but it is not recommended
    • logo1.gif - 216x144
    • logo2.gif - 320x176

If you have support for GZip compression in your interface file, by all means turn that on.
Using compression is good, it will trim a file such as 5 megabytes down to ~20K, greatly increasing bandwidth efficiency.

If you have support for addon updates and/or Website==>WoW communication support in your website, set those up. See Section 4: Addon Updater and Section 5: Website ==> WoW for details about these systems.

Now that you have all that out of the way, all you have to do is set up the Primary Interface URL, which is your website file that receives the uploads. The setting is in the Settings Tab on the top.
Re zip the ini file, the images (if you opted to include them), and the executable. Upload your package and distribute it to your users.

Basic Setup

The only setting that must be set for UU to perform its basic upload is the Primary URL setting which can be found on the Settings tab. This is the interface file on your website that receives the SV file uploads. Once this is set, UU will automatically upload on file changes (unless you turned that off). You can set "Additional URL's" in the Options tab.
You can set up to 4 additional URL's. the second field in these settings. Note that any data received by the additional url's will not show in the server response window, and if you are using compression, SV will be compressed before uploading to any of the additional url's.

If you have authorization using traditional form fields both hidden and visible, "additional variables" fields. Replace "arg1" with "username" (this is the name of the variable), and "value1" with the actual username. Use the same method for the password. You can use the "additional variables" for other things such as hidden form fields. In fact hidden and Visible form fields are all additional variables.

There may not be permutations between fields and sites. This limitation is a long root in the program's history, and needs to be pulled.

Compression

To use gzip compression, your interface file(s) must support it. Here is an example in PHP: 

function GetUploadedLocalFilename()
{
	global $filefield, $_FILES; //filefield is the name of the file array uploaded
	if (isset($_FILES[$filefield]))
	{
		if (substr_count($_FILES[$filefield]['name'],".gz") > 0)
		{
			$filename = $_FILES[$filefield]['tmp_name'];
			$tempHandle = gzopen($filename, "r"); //uncompress 
			$contents = fread($tempHandle,5000000); //read up to 5 megs (no way to see total uncompressed length :( )
			fclose($tempHandle);
			$tmpfname = tempnam("","luatemp"); //create temp file for uncompressed data
			$handle = fopen($tmpfname, "w");
			fwrite($handle, $contents); //write the uncompressed temp file
			fclose($handle);
			return $tmpfname; //return the filename (with full path)
		}
		else 
		{ 
			return $_FILES[$filefield]['tmp_name'];
		} 
	} 
	else 
	{ 
		return ""; 
	} 
}

Addon Updater

The updater interface must be set up in a way that it can respond to all of UU's operations. Here is how it works: UU sends a request to the interface, OPERATION = GETADDONLIST , the interface file must respond with ONLY the xml file which is formatted as follows (example): 

<addons> 
	<addon name="CharacterProfiler" version="0.97" toc="11000" required="1" > 
		<file name="CharacterProfiler.lua" md5sum="d64d775f5015b16390034ef72688b632" /> 
		<file name="CharacterProfiler.toc" md5sum="255417db5329ad7a88e8fd1cbd997149" /> 
		<file name="CharacterProfiler.xml" md5sum="287a42a55384dad5f10cbf8f92b36bd4" /> 
	</addon>
 
	<addon name="guildextract" version="0.0.0" toc="11000" required="0">
		<file name="Guildextract.xml" md5sum="0ceddad51783ed35bf4d53f353729f3b" />
		<file name="guildextract.lua" md5sum="95b1a7fcd0926c3c439cdb0215dea45b" />
		<file name="guildextract.toc" md5sum="b96c0c500e1cce8f898dd283bdbe1588" /> 
	</addon> 
</addons>

UU then checks to see if the user has the addons installed, and if so, checks the md5sum of the files on the user's hard drive matches that from the xml data. If any of the files from a particular addon are outdated (md5's dont match), that addon's download URL is then requested like this:

The zip file must have the following directory structure: Interface/AddOns/AbcWoWMod/ with the parent folders included with the zip. UU then downloads the URL location (the zip file) , unzips it, and moves it to the correct wow addons directory.

The interface file must keep a current database with each md5sum of the addon's files, the names of the addons, and the location of the zip download. If the database and the zip files don't match you will have many problems, there is a possibility of UU trying to update the affected addon's every time, or returning an error.
The interface file can be integrated with the main interface by using something like a PHP case() function for the _REQUEST['OPERATION']. The Section 5: Website ==> WoW system also sends a similar request to the interface.

Website ==> WoW

This system provides a way for data from a website to be inserted into the SV file for use in WoW Mod's, essentially making it possible to run Full-Duplex (WoW (==) Website) WoW Addons.

You can find the settings for this system in the Advanced tab in the middle. UU first reads the data from the URL, then appends the data to the bottom of the specified SV file exactly as recieved from the URL. After the data from the website has been appended into the SV file, WoW Addon's can use the data. When logging out of WoW, if 1 or more addons have RegisterForSave set for the data, then it will remain in the SV file. There should never be more than 1 copy of the same variable in the SV file if the upload button isn't pressed manually. If there are more than 1 of the same variable/data in the SV file, the addons will use the last (latest) copy of the variable/data. UniUploader will retrieve and append the data every time the upload button is pressed and (if option is set) when changes in the SV file are detected.

Upload Data Info

When UU uploads files, a few extra post variables are passed:

Screenshot Protocol

  1. UU posts OPERATION=CHECKSHOTS and data={a '\n' separated list of md5 hashes of the screenshots }
  2. Interface responds with which a '\n' separated list of md5 hashes for screenshots not uploaded yet
  3. UU posts OPERATION=UPSHOTS and the screenshot files (.jpg) to the same url.

All of this happens with the Primary Interface URL (the one that shows up on first tab in UU) The contents of the PHP variable $_FILES after the post is complete in step 3 could be: 

Array
(
    [ef1c521103e556db3fd2bca88c83bdea] => Array
        (
            [name] => WoWScrnShot_080908_155425.jpg
            [type] => application/octet-stream
            [tmp_name] => /data/tmp/phpvhE5Wb
            [error] => 0
            [size] => 276956
        )
)

Example Screenshot Interface Script: 

<?php
// CREATE TABLE `screenshots` (
// `id` INT( 11 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
// `fingerprint` VARCHAR( 32 ) NOT NULL ,
// `data` LONGBLOB NOT NULL ,
// PRIMARY KEY ( `id` )
// ) ENGINE = MYISAM 
$op=get_var("OPERATION");
$db=mysql_connect("localhost", "??????", "??????");
mysql_select_db("test",$db);
switch($op){
	
	case 'CHECKSHOTS':
		check_shots();
	break;
	
	case 'UPSHOTS':
		up_shots();
	break;
	
	default:
	break;
}
function up_shots(){
	global $db;
	//print_r($_FILES);
	foreach($_FILES as $file){
		//do whatever with them
		//always insert into db so user does not have to upload same screenshots again indefinitley
	}
}
function check_shots(){
	$data = get_var("data");
	$rows = explode("\n",$data);
	$donthaveyet = array();
	foreach($rows as $row){
		if (!doihave($row)){
			$donthaveyet[] = $row;
		}
	}
	$out = implode("\n",$donthaveyet);
	echo $out;	
}
function doihave($fingerprint){
	global $db;
	$result = mysql_query("select * from screenshots where fingerprint='".$fingerprint."'",$db);
	return (mysql_num_rows($result)< 1) ? false : true;
}
function get_var($var){
	$out = '';
	if (isset($_POST[$var]))
		$out = $_POST[$var];
	
	if (isset($_REQUEST[$var]))
		$out = $_REQUEST[$var];
		
	return $out;
}
