Well, most of the Auth system re-writing is done now... Of course it looks like some things have been dropped from the players table and moved to the Info addon's display table, so I also need to re-write some of the user configs section. Then I'll get working on the highly anticipated User Profiles.

Accounts v1.9.9.935 [SVN]388:
-Modified
-- getAuthorized() in login.php for new Addon Auth and page redirection
-- login scripting in page.lib.php for changes in the Auth System
-- admin/settings.php for the DB change to the Info addon display settings
-- inc/install.def.php

- Added
-- global option, as well as Race:Sex info for Character Display Settings
-- new table for profile settings/info

- Upped version to 1.9.9.935, as most changes are to maintain compatability with roster

The next revision to the SVN will likely need a clean install, as I will be re-working the database structure of the addon to incorporate a profile table, as well as fix some of the structure for the application and user tables. This last revision did add a bit but was mostly to update for changes to the addon and authentication framework.

Hopefully we will see the completion of the profile/application/recruitment section in the next revision.

Just a little update on the status of progress. I've fixed a few minor problems, mainly having to refresh the page to login. This next release will not require a clean install, as it will use the update feature.

I will also be re-organizing the locale variables in this release, making use of the multi-level arrays.

Work has also started on completion of the addon Main Page and Profile Page, as well as the profile settings. There is alot of work to still be done to really tie the whole addon together. I hope to incorporate the useage of SigGen so users can choose an avatar and signature from their characters. Users will also be able to choose what is viewable in their profile using the profile settings page.

I'm not sure how much longer all the work will take, I hope it won't be long, as I'm sure you are all very anxious to see this complete.

Perhaps I'll post a screenshot or two of some of the changes.

I feel so dirty for saying this but...

Woot!

The next revision will be delayed longer than I'd like, as my computer is now suffering from BSOD Error 0x0000007B (Drive controller driver error). So, my computer currently isn't booting Windows. I hope I can get this fixed in the next day or two.

** UPDATE **

Well, my computer still isn't fixed, but I did get another install of Vista running. So, development has started progressing again! Most of the locale changes have been made to the addon now, the profile settings page has been updated, and some new functions have been added to the profile class, however they may be re-organized. Some of the new function include setMain($id, $char) which will set a character as the main for a profile, also getAvatar($id, $char) and getSig($id, $char) which will probably be changed to getAvSig($switch, $id, $char). There will also be a setAvSig($switch, $id, $char), those functions will set and get a user profile signature/avatar. This will be pretty dependent on SigGen but may end up having an option to load from a url or something along those lines.

I'm really looking forward to completing the profile protion, I really think it'll be just what Roster users want. If not, it's still a hell of a feature.

I know, I'm still not done yet... Work is slow... I have finished about 75% of the profile system. Things to do for profiles include, signature/avatar display; listing chars, guilds, and realms; and user application/registration code cleanup.

After the completion of profiles I will begin incorporating a Private Message System into the addon, as well as integrate PHPMailer, for newsletters and registration. Followed by the completion of the plugin framework.

Plans for the first plugin will be the Xoops Integration plugin, followed by a plugin for OpenID. I feel that with popularity growing for OpenID this may be a valuable asset to WoWRoster. I also have considered making some kind of OpenSocial plugin to perhaps allow users to share Roster data with social sites like Digg, Facebook, and MySpace.

The plans for the plugins aren't definate, it all depends on how much free time I have to work on them.

Well I still have some work to do before sending this version to the SVN, but here's some screenshots of some changes/additions:


The Accounts Main Page when logged in...


The new User Profile Page... Still under construction...


The Per Character View settings...


The Profile settings... Notice the select boxes to choose avatar/sig for your account...

Hope you all enjoy the screenshots, and I look forward to releasing this soon...

Very nice stuff mdeshane
I look forward to ripping off your work and integrating it into roster

lmao @ Zanix would be nice to see that in the next roster

Nice looking sig Ulminia

ty ty ty took some time and effort but i majorly redid siggen for my guild lol working on class dependent Stats now think i have it working i like arrays makes work so much easier lol

Most impressive, looking great. Nice work!

I was wondering, how is that plugin idea thingy coming, to see about people coding integration modules or whatever to integrate with forums such as vBulletin, etc.

I'm currently viewing other vBulletin integrations, such as flashchats cms integration, or vbadvanced cmps portal integration, etc. To see if I can figure out how to make wowroster integrate easily with the forum, :-)

Right now I've been working on finishing the base functions of the addon, like the application, and profile system, along with a private message system. After I have the addon to more of a release status, I will dive back into the plugin framework. As of right now, the plugin framework can install a plugin, as most of the scripting has not been added to the base classes, to change functions for the plugins. Hopefully in the end, the plugins will be able to access the roster database/functions, then the plugin can pass the resulting data to a CMS or Forum, and vice-versa. However, the plugin system will be more aimed at authentication integration (passing auth info between CMS/Roster), as well as user integration (passing character, rank, signature/avatar data).
