Hello, I'm new to WoWUI and I had a suggestion to import current users mods without having to write executable or ActiveX code client code.
Essentially you need the user to send a listing of their AddOns directory so that a server side script to parse through the list and add the users installed scripts.
Ideally this could be done with the C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\<USERACCOUNT>\<REALM>\<TOON>\AddOns.txt file however this is user/toon specific and a little deep for non computer types.
Maybe a easier idea would to have the enter the following in a run box on windows:
dir C:\"Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns" /b > C:\"Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\"addons.txt
I'm sure the ls command on the mac could do the same thing.
The you fine guys at WoWUI could create a script to read through the users text file and add the users mods to our favorites.
I'm not sure any of the mod sites do this right now.
