Hi all,

I am the administrator of the Rebirth of Light guild (Khaz Modan -EU).

We are using another roster, WebRoster developped by a french team.
We were using eqdkp last year but we have been bored of the issues we had constantly with the lua data parser and we decided to make our own system with raids created "manually"...
So I coded my own DKP system (integrated with Webroster), and I made a public pack of it a few months later. Some other french-speaking guilds are using it now and like it.

You can see the public pages of this DKP system here: http://rebirthoflight.net/Roster/dkp_index.php

And here are some screenshots of the administration panel:
Welcome screen

Raids list

Raid creation

Import players to the raid you create

add items and give them a value

Member management


The features are:

• Complete WoW DKP system, with events and items values modifiable at your convenience. You create your raids manually, without using any parser.
• Give DKPs Rewards and/or Penalties to your members at your convenience too (not linked to the raids).
• Add WoW items to your DB simply by typing their name and pressing a button. Thi is working with itemstats 1.5 and you can choose the online DB to search items on (Thottbot, Allakhazam, wowdbu)
• Manage and display members Tier Sets parts (T0,T1,T2...)
• Possibility to import players accepted in your Raid Booker system when you create a new raid so you don't have to enter your attendees manually.
• Import players to your DKP system from the Roster
• Possibility to set DKP adjustments to your members
• Recompute all raids, rewards and penalties when you want

During several months, this tool has been used and tested by us of course, but also other guilds returning us the problems they found, so weeks after weeks we corrected and improved it, and it is now completly free of bugs and working like a charm
Just the admin panel is not totally W3C-compliant because we hate IE and didn't care about making a tool compatible with it when it's just working fine on all other browsers

My question to all WoWroster users and coders is: would you be interrested to see a WoWRoster add-on of this?
This will be a consequent work to make it multilangual and WoWroster-compatible, and I don't want to start this for nuts :rabbit2:

Thank you.

I believe the answer to your question would be a resounding YES!

I'm sure many, many people would love a DKP system integrated into WoWRoster

We have been waiting for this one to finish, but the author is very busy in real life so it takes a back burner -> http://www.wowroster.net/Forums/viewforum/f=75.html

Also something to note, we have stopped development of the 1.x line of WoWRoster and are working on a complete recode
Currently we are working on the base framework for R2
We think we may get a alpha build in about 2 months

If you have any questions about the Roster Addon framework, or other aspects of Roster, just post

Thanks for your reply.
I am happy to see that a member of the team is interrested, I'll go a bit further with my questions then

First of all, I dowloaded your SDK and read your devellopment guidelines, your tool seems to be well designed for a pluggin/addon perspective and all what I read int the wiki sounds good to me. I think I can easily adapt the public part of my DKP to match your addons requirements. However I've got a concern regarding the administration panel of my tool:
As you can see from my screenshotrs, it is quiet complete and contains a lot of functionnalities, I would prefear to let it in this state rather then make it integrated in the roster configuration beacuse to recode all of this will give me 10times more work then simply adapt the public part.
In one hand I already have my own navigation menu , admin users management, and sessions control integrated with it, and on the other hand, I haven't really see in the wiki any explanations on how to make a consequent admin menu integrated with the roster configuration, probably becasue no addons for WoWrosters requires as much admin functionnalities then my DKP system.

So would you accept my tool as an official WoWroster addon, if I only integrate the public part display in the roster itself, but let the administration pages stand-alone as it is now?

Thanks

Aränel

Well, addons are not integrated admin panel mainly because roster doesn't have user auth built in, here's why...
The addon system was made even before Roster's Config panel was made, it was not built to handle addons for config because...well...we just never got around to it

R2 will change all this

But for now...
As long as the public part passes the guidelines, then you get the stamp of approval
We are not as concerned with the admin part...yet =P

I don't like your... "yet" :rabbit2:

LoL, it will matter in our new framework, but everything will be themed and xhtml complaint and free biscuits for everyone!

Edit:
Wait....biscuits?!

OK with those free biscuits it definitly sounds interresting




muhahaha

This looks absolutely stunning although my French is a bit rusty *cough*

I just noticed that a Raidtracker add-on exists for WoWroster.
This is very interresting!
I'll add a functionnality that "cross" data between the ROL DKP and the Raidtracker. So you'll be able to choose between records your DKP raids manually like it already does now or automaticaly by importing data from the Raidtracker tables into the DKP tables.

Those 2 systems are highly complementary

Cool
Although I think that currently that addon is not working since the WoW 2.0 patch

You would need to ask polodude if it works

arf too bad

I can't begin to describe how much I want to see this mod, although I know putting this mod into place will take me a tremendous amount of time and effort, I am already looking forward to the challenges...

Hello,

I am still alive but I have stop working on this for 1 month.
The reasons are: 1 Week skying vacations and then this damn BC release...
I have my main char to up to lvl 70, then HL dungeons access to get, and, since I am completely crazy, I rerolled shaman in parallel because my guild doesnt have any of them. So I am quiet busy at the moment.
I have a lot of webmastering work to do on my guild site (upgrades...) and I can't even make them

Anyway, once my guild will be ready to make HL raids again (very soon) we will need to have a DKP system working with WOWroster, so I promise you guys, I'll take 2 weeks to work on this mod again and finalize it ASAP (it's on a good way actually).

Stay tuned

I've just put the work I've already done online :
http://rebirthoflight.net/WoWroster/add ... ame=ROLdkp

Most of the public pages are done but still some problems remains with those damn accentued characters

My guild is not yet ready for 25-men raids so we do not need the DKP system at the moment, and in parallel I am still levelling my schaman, that's why this addon is not yet ready for the testing phase but I just would to let you know that I had not let down to work on this and that's why I put my latest work online for you all to have a look at it

Good job !

L'intégration est vraiment bien faite ,comme l'était l'ancien sous WebRoster .Encore bravo Aränel
Je suis impatient de pouvoir le tester .

Une question ,utilises tu la base de données de l'ancien DKP ?
