I'm working on integrating it into my site as i was the original requester for this. As soon as I get it worked out, I'll let you know

[darknights]

Cool, ok thanks man!

[Teelk]

Hey, I've updated the install instructions. Was actually the first MOD I've updated, I just thought that I had already uploaded it... <img>

[Demonicpagan]

awesome Teelk. I've gone about and did some changes to it. To take a look, just browse on over to http://ffxi.stelth2000inc.com and look at the characters page.

I would say I've enhanced the look a little bit.

[Teelk]

Looks great Demonicpagan, those definitely are some nice improvements. <img>

[darknights]

Thanks, it appears to be functioning properly and working well. so far no messed up website lol. thank guys for the help and support!

[Demonicpagan]

teelk, question for ya as i recall, didn't the character information show up in the viewposts under the user info?

if it did, guess i'm going to need help researching why it's not on mine

[Teelk]

On viewtopic in the author panel? It should be, check your edits to the profilcp/def/ files.

[Demonicpagan]

hmmm, i have the def files modded and i'm still not seeing anything


[fixed]
needed to go into the P.C.P wizard and alter the phpBB >> View Topic >> Left and add the item to that

[darknights]

Ok, now only problem i'm getting with this mod now is:
every time a new user registers, i have to go in an manually allow them to submit their char info, is there a way to auto enable this without me having to manually go and allow them to add there chars, thanks!

[Teelk]

Ok, this may get a little complicated...

Run the following query in phpmyadmin.

Now you can go to ACP>>General Admin>>Configuration+, click "profile options", the go to "administration". "Allow to Create FFXI Characters?" should be right at the top. Set to yes, and override users choice to yes. Now all users should be able to create characters on registration.

Think I might add this to the package since the default should be yes, but PCP is overriding it unless you do the above.

[Demonicpagan]

weird that it's not allowing yes by default because the structure of the allow_ffxi_char in the phpbb_users table is set to 1 by default. i am researching it at the present moment. i'm thinking it may be because the type is TINYINT. as soon as i figure out what it is, i'll edit this post with the correction.

[edit]
Scratch what I say above, Teelk beat me to it... LOL

Teelk,
I've had a request by one of my forum users and I don't know how to go about implementing the code. On the characters.php page where you can presently sort the list by Forum Username, Character Name, Server, Rank, Nation, Main Job, Sub Job. Can we add to this where it sorts by Job Level?

An example site which has another version of the mod done by Jadestone that can be gotten at http://ffxi.xenoveritas.org/mod_ffxicharacter/ can be seen [url=http]here[/url].

This mod has some other features that my be worth implementing.

[Teelk]

I'll take a look, unfortunately it doesn't seem to have any version information or upgrade instructions so I'll have to do it all manually which will take some time.

[Demonicpagan]

yeah, no rush on it. the one by jadestone and the one i posted were done by two totally different people, don't know who had the first implementation, but if there is a way to pull some of the features from the other mod into the one that we currently have, that'd be cool. to me they both have awesome features, and combining the two would make for the best ffxi mod.

[Teelk]

I'll work on adding features to sorting list.

Can you give me some info on what other features you'd like implimented from the other MOD? I don't know FFXI, so it's difficult for me to understand what's different in each MOD.

[Demonicpagan]

if you look at http://www.ascensin.com/ under their FFXI Characters page, I was liking the quick pagination between basic information, jobs, and craft skills. if need be, i can send you the files i have of the mod as I have added in what was asked about the enable by default as well as the images of characters and nations.

basically the main difference between the two is the ascetic look of the mod. they both provide the same information. one allows for quick viewing of information (ascensin's site) and one requires you to go into each individual character to view information (jadestone's) from the FFXI Character page.

combining both would greatly enhance the plugin.

[darknights]

Hey, i haven't been able to check out to see if that update for it makes it auto or not yet, but on your guys topic, iv found another site that has been developing an FFXI phpbb mod, and it looks so sweet, yall should check out his screen shots on there, its not live yet, but at least its god some screen shots to understand what it looks like

[Demonicpagan]

a link to these screen shots would help us take a look.

I didn't even see the pagination feature... it should be fairly simple to integrate since the created db table is essentially the same. You've already changed your jadestone version to look like the ascensin's version, so we know we can do that.

If darknights provides a link we may find some more interesting features to add.

[darknights]

Ooops sorry forgot to put the link in i guess sorry.

Edit:\ also look through the that post on the first page, theres external links to screenshots as well.
sorry about that guys, it was a quick post before i went to work.

[Demonicpagan]

that does have some nice features to it

[darknights]

Yes it does indeed! (this post of mine is becoming pretty popular now, up to 2 pages so far, almost 3) Nice! well if i can do anymore searches on Google to find anything about FFXI phpbb mods ill keep searching, maybe ill get get some nice ideas myself, but off to bed i go Night!

[Teelk]

Sorry, I'm a little tired... what am I looking for with that link?

[darknights]

Just look at the screenshots there, you'll notice that it looks a bit diffrent, and option for having your characters picture and a little more different layout, and how its integrated into the forum users profile, and also has the linkshells name in the fields (or as most games call it as a guild) and let people know if you have completed the expansions listed there as Rise of Zilart and so on (They are the expansion packs) and so on.. its cool that your tired man, thanks for helping us out as this mod doesn't seem to be a popular one so seems that your just helping me and him, which is really cool man! if theres anything i can explain to you or help you out on feel free to shoot me an PM or ill give you my email/aim/msn in a PM if you would like!
Thanks again!

[Demonicpagan]

essentially what we would be doing is updating the profile cp to include information as such the expansions, linkshell(s), and what not. additional db fields will need to be created to house that information which is no big deal. my biggest downfall with trying to do this myself is that i don't know in inner workings of phpbb and im to know how things essentially work. thus why i've gone about asking for help.

[Teelk]

Adding those extra fields shouldn't be a problem. And I can change the character edit page to look like that one, since it does look better. I can also add the character edit/creation page to PCP and have it all done through the profile.

[darknights]

Nice! thanks man, your the best!

[Demonicpagan]

so Teelk, a little update? what have ya been up to? post was getting a little buried, thought I'd bump it back towards the top.

[Teelk]

Finding time to work on this is the problem for me. I will get to it, it just may take some time.

[darknights]

yeah i understand what you mean about time lol, but since 20 days later ill post here again lol, my computer died in that time frame, and i just got a new one back up and running so im excited =)

[Demonicpagan]

nice to have you back in business, dark

[neoex]

When i try to install this i get this

Critical Error

FIND FAILED: In file [viewtopic.php] could not find:

'S_CARD' => append_sid("card.".$phpEx),
'U_POST_ID' => $postrow[$i]['post_id'])
);

[darknights]

I would verify that you have made the changes properly to [viewtopic.php]

[darknights]

Hey Teelk, any updates at all on the new version of this mod? I know your busy and all, but just wondering if there is any, also if there is any screen shots? thanks!
