defaul wisp avatar fixed (hope so)

This MOD will allow to set an roster character to display instead your regular avatar.
Now you can choose between regular or roster avatar.

Your forums will look very similar to the official one.

regards.

NEW: If you are having problems showing the avatar, It may be because of the language of the roster you are using.

Thanks for this Mod

I look through your RosterIntegrationMod.txt. I have a small suggestion:

- Insert something about, that the User must edit config.roster.php. before upload
- Make the AddOn description clear, like: "After installation you have Forum Avatars with Roster informations (Avatar depend on Race & Class)"

I need the option, to choose a character in my profile, before I add your code. So, I'm waiting for your next version.

When you include the characterpage from Roster in the user profile, you are my hero

Thanks for your good work

Yeah.. next version will have a better installation explanation. Thanks for the feedback, and please sory about my english.

I understand your english very good

Another Idea:

When you include the option to select a Charname (in UserProfile), make an Option to choose between normal Avatar and Rosteravatar, too. That would be great

greetings
daddelkopp

that would be a pain... maybe in the third version , almost finish 1.0.2

I have uploaded the new version (in my first post) but I haven tested it (since Im at work). As soon as I got home I'll test it in my forums, you should consider this version as "beta".
I recomend you not to take the risk and wait 2 hours.


changes:
you can especify the character you want to show.

If the Characterfield is empty use in templates/subSilver/viewtopic_body.tpl

Code: Select all

<td width="150" align="left" valign="top" class="{postrow.ROW_CLASS}"><span class="name"><a name="{postrow.U_POST_ID}"></a><b>{postrow.POSTER_NAME}</b></span><br /><span class="postdetails">{postrow.POSTER_RANK}<br />{postrow.RANK_IMAGE}{postrow.POSTER_AVATAR}<br /><br />{postrow.POSTER_JOINED}<br />{postrow.POSTER_POSTS}<br />{postrow.POSTER_FROM}</span><br /></td>

else

Code: Select all

Your code  for templates/subSilver/viewtopic_body.tpl ;)

I don't know how to do that with a *.tpl file. But I know it works. The forum header has such a function and show different links if a user is loged in or out. Perhaps that helps?

I wish I could do it, but I have not the skill

I found a way, but first I want to check the new version at home. If everything goes ok, I'll start codding the avatar/profile selection code.

This is going to be fun to integrate with the forums I run, but it's a great start since I was wanting to do roster integration with this for ages, and I got enough problems trying to build a nice multi-guild roster as it is... I will be watching this intently and give what feedback I can.

I have uploaded the tested version.
Enjoy.

For the next version, user will be able to choose between normal avatar and roster avatar.

*Licks her lips greedily*

IF this is what I think it is, it is EXACTLY what I am looking for. I look forward to checking it out.

BTW, is there a way to limit the registration of the phpBB2 board to ONLY those who appear in the Roster? That would make the security of the Discussion Board directly linked to WoW.

Just a thought...

It can be done, but I really dont have much time since Im giving my last exams in the university.
Maybe for a future release.

Btw, many people have been looking for this, that's why made it ...

What I would suggest for the security thing, is have the forums only available to members of a particular usergroup and use this mod:
http://wowroster.net/Forums/viewtopic/t=2360.html

I see, this is very interesting. Yes, this is somehwat of what I had in mind as well. Creating Usergroups depending on the ranks within the Guild Roster.

As far as the "Usernames" for phpBB2 and the Roster names having to match, there is a way around this. Create a new field in the phpBB2 database where they can insert their "World of Warcraft" character name. Then use that field to link between the roster and the DB instead of the members uername field.

(NOTE: THis requires editing the phpBB2 files, and probably doesn't belong in this forum. If I find instructions on how to do this, I'll post a link.)

Would it be possible to integrate the ROSTER database into the phpBB database, so you dont' have to access two databases at the same time?

Or do you think that is overkill and unnecessary?

OH BTW, I'm not in any rush to see this done, I understand how it gets worked on in your spare time. I too fall in that category If you'd like I can start looking into how to integrate the two. Not very proficient with PHP but I can learn!

Looking forward to see how this develops!

please, try the last version (1.0.2a at this moment). In this version you can specify wich character you want to show, doesnt matter the account name.
Download the mod from my first post.


EDIT:

I dont belive that duplicate data would be a solution (integration of 2 databases). I really belive the way it's now is the best, because if you update a profile you will not need to run an extra script to sync both databases.

Remeber that my english is still very poor, maybe Im not getting what you are trying to say.

Oh yes ! thanks for the feedbak !!!


EDIT 2:

Oh... I got what you mean... It may be possible to integrate both databases. I really dont belive it's necesary and practical, but that's only my point of view.
