Version 1.10 (One dot Ten)

[Geoffrey Wilson]

Hi all,

Version 1.10 of the killboard will be released Saturday 16th September at 19:00 UK time, this version represents some significant changes to 1.9, including support for Item images, even with the dynamic table that 1.9 currently uses.

There is also a new original killmail option that will reconstruct a mail if it isn't found in the database, this was requested by someone in the forum.

You can preview 1.10 on www.killboard.co.uk as it is now live on there. The release delay is to allow me to build the upgrade script so item graphic data can be imported.

Changes:

- Item Images now display correctly using CCP supplied image pack, its recommended you use 32x32 icons

- Search now displays and works on all pages

- Submit/Home/Stats now display on all pages

- Made player names bold in kill tables

- Fixed table cell widths, all equal now over separate kill dates

- Fixed some problems with apostrophes, finally figured out what was causing some of the problems, might still be some issues

- Fixed some short PHP tags (<? instead of <?php)

- Removed some unnecessary SQL statements from fronted.php

CCP supplied icons:

http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/data/img_icons_black.rar
http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/data/img_icons_grey.rar
http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/data/img_icons_white.rar

The black set will be included with 1.10 package

Changes:

- Pod Kills are now filtered out from the homepage display

Thanks for adding the orginal killmail option, but it seems to only work for killmails that occured after march 1st 06. I wonder if it has anything to do with the killboard version before that because it never logged destroyed items until March 06. Anything we might be able to do to reproduce these mails also?

This is just a reference to show you what I mean.

Hi,

I'm not really sure why you would want to reconstruct the original mail, the reason they are stored is so the parsed details can be checked against them if necessary.

I was going to add this to 1.10 but decided not to as its usefulness is outweighed by development time.

If you can justify a reason why it should be included then I might reconsider.

Thanks,
Geoff

How about the issue of adding player portraits automatically when they log on?? Currently I have no idea how to get them into the site.

[UTRR]

The main reason is I'd like access to those mails is we have a personal killboard, but I also like to add mails to the public boards and right now I can't add those mails to the boards. If it's too much work I understand, just was hoping to have access to those mails also.

I may have found a small problem, i've posted a kill mail with a ' in the character name. Which seams to result in a lot of blank fields in the database.

I have a live killboard complete with sample killmail if you need to view it, just email me for the details.

Thanks

Sounds like a problem with the string parsing.

Geoffw22 - have you tried playing around with heredoc syntax?

$string = <<<FOO
string stuff
on
multiple
Lines
FOO;

that will solve the escaping problem when using ' or " as a string identifer.
