My alt information is kept in the officer note in the following format:

Alt - Main (mixed capitalization and case)

I noticed on 1286 it has been showing me the OLD data from before I corrected the errors. How does it read the Officer note? Where is that information stored? The CharacterProfile.lua file is correct, why is it not updating? I even corrected the captialization so that "Alt" was capitalized as was the name of the Main. And yes, my filter string already shows the spaces on each side of the dash.

There are two places for an alt string

RosterCP -> Defaults Config
AddOn Config -> Members List -> Main/Alt Relations

The first one is currently only used in the menu for the level and class display

The second one is for Members List and is a regex string
The default regex setting should work for you

Code: Select all

/Alt - ([\w]+)/i

With "Officer Note" selected for "Apply on field"

Then when these are set, try clicking on "Update Relations" and see if it works

The default regex (and all regexed I ever suggest) end in /i. That means it matches case-insensitively. Omitting the i will turn it case-sensitive, but I doubt there are any good reasons to do that.

OK, I checked the settings and they are OK, I re-downloaded Guild Profiler and Character Profiler, and I deleted the .lua files. After each step I save the profile again and uploaded it. Even after all of that I'm not getting the text that is associated with the Officer's field - when it matches characters it is showing the old inforamtion.

What might help in these kind of situations :
I use the old (current) 1.7.3 Roster - and so I have access to all it settings.
I installed the new V2 roster in a separate directory on my server.
I compare and copy settings from the 'old' to the 'new' Roster - and of cours, I'm NOT using default settings for a lot of stuff.
It works - have a look over here how I user rerolls, and how I code them In the Public field with a (R) Name xxxxxx statement and the /([(r)]+) ([\w]+)/i as a regex.
Futher more :
Apply to : Public notes
Use match n° : 2
Main person identification : nothing here
No results : Mainless alt
Invalid result : Main
Alt of Alt : Main
Update type : both

Please note that these are MY settings - and it rocks : http://www.papy-team.fr/roster_20b1/ind ... st&guild=1

PS : UniUpLoader is happy enough to update them BOTH in one fly.

That still doesn't tell me why, when I parse the file, the information in the output is information that is no longer found in either the officers note or the public note. It is almost like it is NOT updating the officer note field in the database once it has been initially populated. I have gone through the officer notes in game, I have looked at the .lua files and all the information is current. Yet when I upload the .lua, it shows me the information that is no where to be found in the current upload. For some reason it apparently is not replacing the information on the database. I suspect if I dump the database, then the problem will go away - until updates are made.

Finally got it to work - think that it was something about the SQL server. Checked yet another time and found that the alt field in them members section was toggled back to public - so I changed it back and saved it. Not it works. (or appears to) I had checked that so many times before - at least each time I uploaded over the last four days and it was correct - on two different computers. Tonight it wasn't so I changed it. Gremlins.

i'm completely lost on this question.

Currently we just got the rank to tell if it's an alt, and in the public note we have the Mains name, is that possible to use to create the connections between alt/main ?

Anyone that can tell me how to use the Main/alt feature?

what needs to be listed where to get it to work ?
