So our guild is now splitting into two sister guilds, and I have to manage both rosters. Many of us will be keeping alts in one guild and our mains in another.

Before setting up a second roster, I just want to be sure I get everything straight...

I'm going to install 1.7 for the second roster, then upload my CharacterProfiler.lua - that should fill that roster with information on the new guild.

When I upload my CharacterProfiler.lua file and update the guild roster for the OLD guild (using update password etc), it should remove my main from there, as well as all the people who left, correct?

So the people who have characters in both guilds basically have to upload them to two locations?

Uniuploader should be able to be set up to do that as well, correct?

Correct. There's a tab in UniUploader where you specify additional upload URL's.

Alas, you can't specify which data goes to which URL, but CP data isn't very big so it's not a big problem for roster. (I want to upload Census data, which is huge, and don't want to upload it to my roster sites.)

Sounds like you've got it, Kaylaura.

If you want to see a working sample check out my site:

Note the navigational links at the top between the two rosters (Alliance/Horde).

Also, feel free to check out how I preconfigured ONE UniUploader for use with BOTH of these rosters: http://clan-ai.org/modules.php?name=Dow ... load&cid=4

The only drawback I've found is that I can't enter a different roster admin password for the second guild. Either both rosters have to use the same admin password or you need a second person to handle the guild data on the other roster...

I got wowroster working with two guilds and one file installation using Apache location directives. First, I unpacked the tarball into /var/www/wow/roster/html and ran the regular installation process to populate a database and create conf.php. I then moved the conf.php to ../conf-ma.php. This makes wowroster "unconfigured". I then ran the installation page again to create the second DB and conf.php. I moved conf.php to the parent directory as conf-apgw.php. I then created a completely empty conf.php file.

In my Apache config I now have these two alias and location entries for my two guilds:

Code: Select all

Alias /wowroster /var/www/wow/roster/html
<Location /wowroster/>
    php_value auto_prepend_file "/var/www/wow/roster/conf-ma.php"
</Location>

Alias /wowroster-apgw /var/www/wow/roster/html
<Location /wowroster-apgw/>
        php_value auto_prepend_file "/var/www/wow/roster/conf-apgw.php"
</Location>

You can see the results here:

Main guild: http://matureasskickers.net/wowroster/
Aux guild: http://matureasskickers.net/wowroster-apgw/

That's an excellent idea - I wish I'd seen that before I'd done the double install

The next problem is to allow unique per-guild image upload directories outside the roster tree. (Right now siggen assumes that the upload directory is a subdirectory of itself.) That would allow this to be hosted on a shared server so that multiple users can use the same installation.

I went for the easy method: double install and even double sql database.

In other words, install them at:

http://mysite.com/roster1
http://mysite.com/roster2

The only thing I duplicated between the two is the images. The package for roster1 has the images. The roster2 package uses "../roster1/img/" for its image location. This saves both space and bandwidth (browsers caching images from the one won't re-download them for the other).

Hm. For some reason it won't update the original roster to remove my toon that has moved to the new guild.

It says could not update [new_guild]. But I'm trying to update [old_guild]

Do I have to manually remove my toon from the db to do this?

Gah... Guild Profiler apparently overwrites all the guild information for each guild in the lua file... so I only have information saved for only one guild at a time. I can't save guild information for both toons' guilds and update both guild rosters at once.

Anyone know a workaround? Or am I mistaken?

How did you get it to do that on your site where you can click up above? I am not a big programmer. Any help would be great!

Guild Profiler only supports one guild per realm. If you have two guilds on the same realm, you'll have to either go through a bunch of work to save one, upload, then save the other, or get someone else to be in charge of one of the guilds, then you both have to do only a moderate amount of work to make sure you always save the correct guild info before logging out.

When did fuild profiler change so it did that? It used to support multiple guilds for the same realm. It used to have realm/guild/toons as the structure for the data. Did this change?

For as long as I've used GP, it has done this

It's been one guild per realm since I've been around here

@Zanix: Problem is that the Main's and the Alt's guild is placed on the same realm here I think.

I had that problem to managing the first upload for three different guilds on my realm

Second Problem on this fact is using only one Database, the Upload didn't place a new guild in the roster_guilds [don't now correct name atm] table.
It just updated the number one and so I had only one roster working at a time.

Now I just work on three different databases, one for each guild.
