How do I make Alt Monitor the default page anytime somone comes to visit my WoW Roster?

The easiest way of doing this is simply pointing to AltMonitor as the default url.
(addons.php?roster_addon_name=AltMonitor)

An alternative would be to replace membersList.php by altlist.php, and adding into the top:

include('addons/AltMonitor/conf.php');
include('addons/AltMonitor/localization.php');

This should work, but I can't guarantee it. You should also delete the config link in the bottom.

Do you mean to copy the contents of altlist.php into membersList.php, then adding the includes?

With how clean my alt monitor has gotten, I'm thinking I'm going to point my links to that by default as well.

Minesorts by rank, then name... looks very clean to read.

Thanks for the idea!

Yes. Replace the contents of membersList.php by those of altList.php, then add the includes to the top of the new membersList.php

Ok I did what you suggested, but I am receiving the following Warnings at the top of my page:

Code: Select all

Warning: main(addons/altmonitor/localization.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mrjincac/public_html/wowroster/memberslist.php on line 15

Warning: main(addons/altmonitor/localization.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mrjincac/public_html/wowroster/memberslist.php on line 15

Warning: main(): Failed opening 'addons/altmonitor/localization.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/mrjincac/public_html/wowroster/memberslist.php on line 15

You're probably also missing some localization items then (some of the headers, the AM config link). Directory names are case sensitive, you need to type AltMonitor for the dirname, not altmonitor.

I just noticed I did this wrong myself in my post. I'll correct it right away.

PleegWat - that works perfectly - thanks SO much.

Something else I did was to keep the original memberslist.php file, and just renamed it as memberslist.php~. That way if something got messed up, I still had the original right there on the server.

ack ... spoke too soon.

I have one small issue and I'm just not sure where to look to find it.

When I replaced memberslist.php with altlist.php, it worked fine until I edited the header and footer files to place my site wrapper around the roster. Now I get an SQL error on the primary index page.

Note that this does NOT happen when I use the regular AltMonitor addon link - this leads me to think it's something that is missing between the addon index page and the primary roster index page.

SQL error is for line 220 (error printout says 266, which is a comment) in (originally) altlist.php, where the LEFT JOIN for the Alt Table is located. According to the error printout, it seems that instead of grabbing the roster database, it's trying to grab my forum database, and therefore can't find the correct table.

help?

edit: I guess a link would help: www.raven-flight.com/roster

It does indeed seem to be using the wrong table name there. The table name is stored in a defined constant (ROSTER_ALT_TABLE) in AltMonitor's conf.php.

Code: Select all

define('ROSTER_ALT_TABLE',$GLOBALS['db_prefix'].'addon_altmonitor'); 

It's calling $db_prefix from globals there cause otherwise it doesn't work when it's doing update triggers.

My guess is that your forum software also uses the $db_prefix variable. The easiest solution would probably be changing that line and replacing

Code: Select all

$GLOBALS['db_prefix'] 

by

Code: Select all

'roster_' 

Thanks ... I figured it was something easy like that but wasn't sure where to find the code and hate messing things up.

Now that the primary index page is working, I've noticed that a Main's alt tree doesn't work except when I use the Open All / Close All buttons. The + or - next to a Main just reloads the page. Again, the regular AltMonitor page works fine.

If it's too much trouble, let me know and I'll stop being a pest. The addon itself isn't broken ... it's just my integration into an extra application ... and I don't want to irritate the author of a great addon

It's not loading the javascript for that correctly.

Is there a way PleegWat can make it an option for his Mod to be the main page, and then design something in his code that automatically makes this happen if that option is selected. I have tried what he has suggested in the manual effort, but I have yet to have much success.

Thanks...

This would rock

In addition having primary/secondary/thirtiary sorting option

I had this in in the beginning, but I dropped it because it was too much work to keep it working. In my opinion there's nothing wrong with just linking to a different startpage.
