wow-armory 7.0 update

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Whew! The wow-armory plugin is finally working for Wordpress 2.8!

Big thanks go out to Ginchen for testing and fixing parts of the code to make it work – and make it work better!

Here’s a list of the changes that are in this release:

  • Improved logic for grabbing and caching data from the Armory.
  • Sorted Equipment Lists
  • Improved Widget control screen:
    • Option to customize Widget Title – use %NAME% to display Character’s name.
    • Option to show Professions and/or Achievement Points as Progress Bars or Text.
    • 3D Model Preview can be refreshed while changing appearence so you can see what you’re changes are.

I still have a pretty extensive ‘to-do’ list, thanks to the contest, so I’ll be working on getting those items finished up for the next release.

As always, please direct any questions or comments to the wow-guild Plugin Page. Thanks!

There are 4 STARS!!

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

I happened to notice today that my rating on Wordpresses site has dropped down to 4 Stars! It had been at 5 Stars for awhile… what happened?
If there’s anything that you don’t like or you feel is missing with the plugin, please feel free to let me know and I can try to work changes into the next release… and if you comment your suggestion in this thread by June 8th, you might even win a prize!
I try to be easily approachable, so hopefully I can help out anyone who ranked less than 5 ;)

wow-armory Page Update

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Well, I lost the original page, including all of the comments D: *facepalm* but I replaced it with an updated, more informative version.
Take a look!
In other news, I did not post a Monster this week because I was working on this new version, but I plan to have a new one next week, plus the next installment of my D&D Special sometime this week!

Updates + the future

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

First, as much as I would like to revamp my whole site, it is more and more evident that it’s not going to be possible to do so right now – I simply do not have the time or energy to pull it off, and there are many other things I would like to do that take less time to implement. That being said, I have updated to the latest version of iNove, and have made a few changes to customize things… unfortunately, some of the JavaScript in the theme has stopped working, but I’m working on a solution.

I’ve received a few different suggestions and requests for changes to the wow-guild plugin. I’m working on a major version update to the plugin, and I will be taking these suggestions into account. If you have anything you would like to see added to either plugin, please let me know. I plan to add an option to filter out characters below a certain rank, and, if possible, grab more info about each individual character.

As always, I keep thinking of ideas of things that I would like to work on… (more…)

wow-armory 2.9 Update

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

I made some changes to the wow-armory plugin, thanks to Joost de Valk!

I switched from using cURL to Snoopy, which should help with grabbing the data from the Armory.

I also changed the Cache time to 15 minutes, which should cut down on the number of requests to the Armory site.

You should be able to grab the latest version now.

wow-guild will be receiving similar treatment in the near future.
