EQdkp-Plus - DKP System - Raidplaner - Guildportal - Gildenportal - WoW, Lotro, Runes of Magic home of the EQDKP Plus Projekt

Hello,

I've just recently discovered and installed eqdkp-plus. I run a mult-game (3 MMO's) gaming community. I would like to be able to have raids for all three of those games (Star Wars, WoW, and Rift) be added to the raid planner, and members could sign up in one place.

Can anyone explain if this is possible? So far, it seems like I can only set the plugin to one game at a time.

Thanks so much for your help!

It is simply not possible to add more zhan one game at the moment. We' re plannig to support that in a future version.

What you can do as a workaround is to set up 3 different installations of eqdkp-plus in 3 different folders and organize the signups and access-management via one common forum like we did.

It's even possible within only one database. Therefore you need to follow these steps:

Create 3 folders in your root and name them swtor, wow and rift (just an example)
Copy all eqdkp-plus files to all 3 folders
Start the installation of the first eqdkp-plus in the swtor-folder (www.yourdomain.com/swtor/install)
Change the following settings:
Change database-prefix to _eqdkpswtor
Change cookie-name to eqdkpswtor

(if you want to use different databases for each installation you don't need to change the prefixes but cookie names still need to be changed.)

Now start with the next installation in the wow-folder and repeate these steps. Remember to use different prefixes and cookie-names now.

If you completed all 3 installations create 3 user-groups in your forum-settings.
We use phpbb3 but it should be similar in all supported forums.
Call the new groups swtor-user, wow-user and rift-user (again examples)

Finally you enter the 3 different group-id's of those new user-groups in the plus-settings -> cms-bridge section of your 3 different eqdkp-installations (group-id of swtor-user in the swtor installation, etc.).

The users now can sign-up via the forum and you are able to decide, if single users should have access to only one portal or to all of them.

To jump between the 3 portal-installations you could add links from one portal to both others (plus-settings -> link section)

As an example you can have a look at our installation: http://www.dunkler-aufbruch.de

But of course you will have 3 different raidplanners. In my opinion it is more an advantage than a disadvantage because most players are only interested in ONE gane. Our WoW-players only can see the WoW-part and not the swtor-part and only WoW-players have access to the WoW-portal. This is much easier to navigate for them

Elec,

Awesome - thank you. I'd tried that with our old raid planner (phpraider), and didn't have any luck, so I didn't think it would work with this one. I will try that out. We use VBulletin CMS, so I still trying to find a bridge for it (I haven't been able to so far).

One other question for you... although it's slightly different than the original topic:

We have a CMS and portal already, and are just looking for a raid calendar. Is it possible to use RaidPlanner standalone, or strip down everything else that we don't need from eqdkp-plus?

We do have a couple people that will raid in one game each day a week, but they can manage moving from spot to spot.

Thank you again for your help!

Timothy

I think it's not possible to use the raidplanner standalone but because I'm just a user of eqdkp-plus, this should be finally answered by one of the devs

What you can do is to uncheck all additional portal modules and some of the key functions in the settings.

Finally in the user managment you could uncheck all "view" boxes except the one for the raidplanner. Therewith the users should be able to acess the rp but nothing else.

Just try it and find out if that fits your needs.

Regards

No. Its not possible to run it standalone

Ok - thank you both for all your help! Now I will go over to the bridge forums and see what I can discover about vbulletin 4.1.x
