Online

Online after a long break. Those of you who were having password issues should notice they have been restored. No, it wasn't a hacker. The host changed what server our website was on and some url paths got bunged up. The login module couldn't differentiate admin accounts from guest ones and that was a problem I did not want to fix while the site was live. It would have been a problem that I fixed over the course of an evening but being that its the holidays...

Item Links and Wowjutsu Rank

edit

My apologies for the downtime. The site suffered numerous .css and .js call function errors for users not logged in and I was forced to take it down for several hours. Most errors have been isolated, but a few call function problems appear to be cropping up in unexpected places, almost randomly. I think it may have to do with maximum requests as set by the provider, but I'm not sure.

I also managed to fix an IE display error that probably existed for months, but nobody bothered to mention it to me (or nobody goes to the site). The header and primary links should now display properly.

There is still a randomly generated error calling for a drupal_get_content (lootz.css) which is pulling item quality colouring from a custom .css file. I think this may be a hosting error, as it does not hinder functionality when pulling item data from WoWDB. If anyone comes across the error and you recognize its symptoms please let me know as I am stumped on this one.
----

I finally sat down and back ported the Lootz 6.X dev build to our 5.x Drupal format. Really annoying PHP conversion back to PHP4. Anyways, linking items is pretty easy just do a:

[item][/item] tag with the name in between

or

[item] item number here (ie, the Inumber from wowheads url) [/item]

Usually the item name is sufficient,but at times it struggles in pulling the appropriate data from its sources and links the wrong item. If that's the case, substitute the name for the number.

examples:

[item]Spiked Titansteel Helm[/item]
[item]Emblem of Heroism[/item]
[item]22 Pound Catfish[/item]

As far as the wowjutsu rank, they have decided to fuck us over once again and not add us to their list, despite my repeated submissions of our players names. Hopefully they scan our guild soon as it already has other guilds listed ahead of us, despite our progression being superior.

edit

it appears that the functionality isn't perfect. Drupal is assigning the character code for the apostrophe incorrectly on items. SO, anything with an apostrophe in it is returning the URL format (similarly to %20 being assigned to spaces in URL's) rather than the plain text fomat of "'".

Example:

[item]39622[/item]

New Website

Hello fellow guildmates. The website has been up for nearly half a year now (yay!) and I decided to finally address many of the issues that plagued our members with the old website.

By now you should have noticed that the website looks completly different. Personally, I believe that this website looks more professional as it is compact, easy to read, and works with many different monitor resolutions. Some of you may have experienced display issues with the previous theme. Images didn't fit well, profile pictures cluttered and distracted from the content, and the website itself was very 'large'.

The banner I used was only chosen because, well, its the only one that I have. Currently I am looking for screenshots consisting of 15 or more guildies. I prefer to have them WITHOUT our name and guild name tags on, something which can be disabled from the interface menu prior to screen capture. Feel free to upload any photos (I can do all the cropping) in the gallery.

Unfortunately I was forced to remove all of our existing profile photos/avatars. I did this simply because they were too large for the new format of the website. Rather than 200x200 px avatars, members are now limited to the dimensions of 100x75. The new avatars are designed to be 'low key' so that they do not draw attention from the content of the website.

Big Updates

So, after numerous complaints involving the site I have taken the liberty to rewrite about 33.3% (repeating of course) of the code. These are the changes/additions

1) In your "my account" settings you will find a character panel in which you can update your characters. I am sure you will find it alot better than what I had written before

2) Calendar. WOOOO!

3) ????

4) Profit.
