EqDKP Integration Help
-----------------------
Introduction:
Integration with EqDKP is now built into WRM. At it's base, turning on this option allows for the information from an
EqDKP installation to be displayed within WoW Raid Manager. A new side menu item "DKP" will show up with this enabled
that will show the User and DKP information from your EqDKP installation. A link to the entry point of the DKP installation
is displayed, and each listed character will like to it's own detail page within EqDKP.
Requirements:
The first and foremost requirement is that you must have an existing and working (installed, setup, configured) EqDKP
installation who's database is accessible to the web host running your WoW Raid Manager installation. In other words,
the webserver hosting your WRM installation must be able to also see your EqDKP database. These systems DO NOT have
to be installed on the same server or even the same webhost so long as your WRM installation can open a database connection
to wherever the EqDKP installation resides.
Too, you must already be using your EqDKP installation. Having no data in the system will produce no data within WRM for
your DKP Information. Be sure to configure and add users and data to EqDKP.
Finally, you must configure your WRM installation to be able to see and properly access your EqDKP installation. See the
next section for information on configuring your system to support the integration of EqDKP.
Note: At the time of this writing the current EqDKP installations are 1.3.x (Stable) and 1.4.x (Beta), both of these
installations should work with WRM.
Installation/Configuration:
To install and configure WRM to work with EqDKP follow these steps:
1) Install both WRM and EqDKP. If you are reading this via the "help" link in the configuration section, your WRM installation
is likely already complete. Make sure EqDKP is also installed and properly working.
2) Configure your EqDKP Database connection. Open the WRM config.php in the root directory of the WRM installation. Inside
you will find a "db_eqdkp_" section asking for name, host, user, pass, and prefix. Fill in the information as noted below.
- db_eqdkp_name: The name of your EqDKP Database. Often this is "eqdkp".
- db_eqdkp_host: The hostname of the database server where your EqDKP Database Resides.
- db_eqdkp_user: The User account name that has access to your EqDKP Database.
- db_eqdkp_pass: The password for the user account noted above.
- db_eqdkp_prefix: The database table prefix for the tables in your EqDKP Installation, this is usually "eqdkp_."
3) Check the "Integrate with EqDKP" check box, this will turn on access to the EqDKP system. When you click the "Submit" button
in the configuration section of WRM a new "DKP" menu will show up on the left hand side. You MUST have completed the
database configuration steps in #2 above BEFORE you click the new DKP link, otherwise you WILL get an error.
4) Fill in the URL to the base of your EqDKP installation, leave off the trailing "/". This will look something like:
"http://localhost/eqdkp" or "http://www.myguild.com/eqdkp". Please do not add something like "viewnews.php" or "listmembers.php"
to the end of this.
With the Database information in place in your config.php file and the "Integrate with EqDKP" link checked and submitted
you should now be able to click the "DKP" button and see the information from the EqDKP installation.
