Mods for a website?

[GLMAugustine]

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post if its not maybe an admin will move it to the right spot.

My partners and I currently have a site in closed beta, and I am looking for input as we'd like to add some WOW mods that do the following:

Writes DKP raid points to a website tracker
Writes a players gear/equipment to a website (basically embeds thier gear to "slots" that are displayed on thier profile) on log out.

Also I saw a previous thread related to this but is there a way to write online/offline status to an external website? I was thinking that perhaps thier would be a trigger "on loading" the UI or mods that sends an alert out, or that reads against the players system to look for an .exe indicating the game is loaded and writing the status to the external website.

I think the other thread covered writing offline status to the website.

Any help would be appriciated, my partner who takes care of the coding is slammed and Im to busy as well so if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

And if these types of mods dont exist this might be an opprotunity for one of you to help out a cool little start up (and make a few cp :)

Thanks all

And if you read that thread then you'd know that it was impossible with a mod alone and illegal using any other method.

Ah i missed that thread, thanks for pointing it out.

As for the dkp mod you are looking for Aug, take a raid dump, and use Quick DKP V2 (http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=3974) very easy to upload, and doesnt take long.

You could track online/offline status with an executable by monitoring which files are in use. I doubt that this would be a bannable offense since a ton of programs already do similar things. Still:
- It would only show that wow is simply running, not that you're logged in
- It would not show which char you're logged in with
- I'd still ask on the official forums before actually using it.

A simpler solution would be making a program that:
- reads your account-folders for the names of your characters (NOT the name of your account)
- shows buttons
- allowing the player to toggle on with which char he is currently online with
This would NOT be an addon
This would NOT be monitoring memory
and so would NOT be suspicious for banning

"And if you read that thread then you'd know that it was impossible with a mod alone and illegal using any other method."

Actually I did look at that thread, impossibilities are merely lack of an existant solution :)~~ aka a workaround.

Im more concerned with finding a legal workable workaround, which is possible

@JucyFroot

Great suggestion but this is going to be a feature of a large community site, so it must meed to following:
1. DL mod from our site
2. Integrate with our DB
3. Integrate with our website

@Wintrow


Great suggestions and definately doable
