How do I use character profiler?

by **clavarnway** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 8:44 am

I have the savedvariables.lua file...now what? It says upload to a site to get something usable, but what site? My site? How do I do that? I know how to FTP my site but I need some kind of interface..

I'm so confused. This will help so much with the bank and stuff. thanks. :flower:

1. Forum Rules
You posted in the wrong area of our forums, this area is for Roster AddOns

2. Read these for info about roster
http://www.wowroster.net/wiki/index.php/Roster

3. WoW AddOns that Roster uses
http://www.wowroster.net/wiki/index.php/WoWAddon:CharacterProfiler
http://www.wowroster.net/wiki/index.php/WoWAddon:GuildProfiler
http://www.wowroster.net/wiki/index.php/WoWAddon:PvPLog

Roster is a web application that takes the data generated by CP and stores it for display (for an example of Roster, click my signature image)

If running/managing a website with roster on it is too much for you, consider using http://www.rpgoutfitter.com
They make the CharacterProfiler and GuildProfiler addons that roster uses and they run a roster type of program as well

What do I need to upload the .lua file to make it display on the website? I have a website, just don't know what else to do. I've searched around and nothing helps.

You need an SQL database too. This will hold all the info that is used to display the roster on your webpage.

Oh dear...this seems a little over my head.

May I ask, then, what is the best way for me to have something that scans my bank alt for everything on it (bags/bank), then gives me something I can put on my site for all guild members to see?

If the Wiki on this site does not give enough information for you to install and get this softwre working, you might just want to go to this site and signup and get going there. Maybe you have some tech people in your guild as well that could help you.
