I will try and make sometime this week to test some guild banking software and get it publsihed on the forum,

Im sorry for my laziness but ive just been so busy trying to get an epic mount!!!

[Twylyte]

No problem - we need a few weeks to build the bank up anyway.

My latest idea is "Swap Shop" - if u see something in the bank that suits u swap it for something of similar value.
That way the most generous will also receive something.

I'm thinking golden pearls for righteous orbs - that sort of thing.

Heard nothing back from zombieman as of yet so I dont know whats going on

Mwahahaha

Hmmm..... if someone sent me an email, then either I have no recollection of it at all, or it may have been accidentally chucked out with a ton of junk..... Filters and spam identifying software is all well and good, but I think I should start using one of my other accounts.....

Oh and ganging up on your webmaster just earn's you a turn in the Yogi suit.... (for that reference, click here and check links in the post under that... actually I just laughed out loud re-reading some of the follow ups....)

Basically, i have forwarded a guild util that will parse out the banking information into a html file.

All we need is a way of this html file appeaing somewhere on the interweb.

They way i thought of it working was we get a sticky post for banking, with a link to where the bank file is stored, this way we can keep track of history.

The util also comes with a batch file that can be ran as a sched task to upload the html file to a specified FTP address- so this is where you come in ZM and hopefully you will be able to give mags access to a dir somehwere, so that he can dump the file, or Have you got an easier / better way of doing it.

I may well have an easier/better way of doing it..... However I don't appear to have any email about the gizmo...

I've updated my email contact info in the member only forum post to a newer therefore less spammed account if you want to send it there, and I'll take a look at see what I can rustle up for you guys...

[Hercule]

Ok, do you want the whole util or just the html file that the bank details are outputted to?

if you want the whole util i will send it to you this evening, the mean sysadmins have blocked gaming websites.

Oh wait thats me

[Magorian]

when explaining this set up to me remember two things. First of all I like nothing better than the version with large big latters and pretty pictures. Second, the implementatoin may not be possible with the new patch coming live today.

That is all

[Hercule]

Ok, i will download the util tonight and see if it still works after the patch, i will then converse with ZM as to the best way to do it, then i will give Mags full documentation on how to set it up. ( Technical Author Hat on )

How does that sound?

[Zombieman]

If it all works okay chuck over a packet with both the util and a sample result (I'm curious, and always a touch wary about talk of automated FTP - tried something like that on my hosting account yesterday with not complete success actually)

I might be tempted to try something "a little bit special" just to flex my webmasterial skills, or then again I might not and just do something easier and therefore lazier... Might need to think/ponder a bit...

[Twylyte]

I'd just like you to know guys - I don't understand a word of this...

But here's to our bank
