I think many of you would love to have a "complete" Roster - the biggest problem is, some members of your guild just aren't able to upload their data for whatever reason.

I suggest:

A LUA-Addon that grabs information from rpgoCP ingame and sends that information via SendAddonMessage(Guild) to a "Rosteradmin" who gets all that data and then uploads it to the roster.

That's how it could work:

Everyone has Charprofiler and "Rostersync" installed:

Addonmessage 1 from admin: "Start sending Data!"
Guildies get message "Your character data is being sent by request from 'Rosteradmin'"
Addonmessages 2 from guildies: "Data Data blah blah" ... 0.5 sec pause to prevent disconnect for spamming ... "Data Data blah blah"
Addonmessage 3 from guildies: "Data complete" (<-- necessary?!)
Message: "Data has been sent"

The data from all chars is saved via charprofiler's functions (charprofiler.lua) and can be uploaded by the "Rosteradmin"

I know it can be done, but I don't know how to code such an addon

Anyone interested to do the work? I'll help with localisations '(shouldn't be much )


PS: sorry 4 bad english

Is it just me, or doesn't it seem that anyone you can get to accomplish this, you can get to upload their profiles.

IMHO there is a big difference between "install an addon" and "open a program after each WoW-session and upload your data"

It would be a one-time thing (perhaps some updates to the addon) but all in all something every WoW-player has to do every now and then.

Uploading on the other hand is a constant pain in the ass for some people...

I can barely get 1/100th of the people in my guild to use charprofiler So this would be nice... but then getting them to install the addon would be a pain too.

Armorysync wil solve this cos your members wont need anything installed, roster will get its info from the Blizzard site instead

I know, but the Armory is kinda ... limited...

No Bank, no Bags, no Gold, no Recipies

I too think this would be an amazing idea. Bump for great justice.

The majority of my users do not want there banks, bags, gold to be uploaded to the roster anyway. Guess they feel they have something to hide

Elethil; you know there is a setting to choose not to display that type of information on a character-by-character basis, right?

The other problem is you will only get the people who are on at the time you request the sync. I guess it is better then nothing, but still.

Even if you choose not to display bank and money information on a global basis (which I have done), the characterprofiler addon still collects that information and it is still transmitted to the database during uploads. The user still sees that this data is being uploaded, even if it is not shown in the wowroster. I think this still makes some folks unwilling to upload.

I have gone as far as setting up uniadmin and created a post to explain how they can install uniupdater and have everything update with a click of a button once they exit WoW. This hasn't really increased the numbers of my users who perform uploads.

I have used the ArmorySync addon to scrape the data from WoW's Armory site and have found that it collects much of the things I need for my guild with some tweaking. At this point, that has been the best route for me.

If your Guild doesn't want Gold + co. displayed just use ArmorySync - but if they want to have that info, "CharprofilerSync" would be a great option IMHO
