Initial Version

Downloads:
Main Download: http://myevekb.com/faction_mod.zip
Fix the Feed Syndication so it will pull from Faction Killboards correctly: http://myevekb.com/admin_feedsyndication.rar - Extract this to common/admin - If you want this to handle week 53 for 2008 you need to just do a search on 52 and replace it with 53

Optional Modification
If you want to add the known_members to your killboard then you have two options.

1) Replace the corp_detail.php file in the faction_mod directory with the following: http://myevekb.com/corp_detail.zip and disable the known_members mod (You can still set the settings)
2) Remove the corp_detail.php from the faction_mod and put the corp_detail.php file from the above link in your known_members directory

Hmm, those images are mighty familiar.

Nice though, using the alliance tables for storing faction info.

Thanks for this! A lot cleaner than the other methods of supporting FW. I have it running on the caldari boards (killboard.caldarimilitia.org), but it seems to have problems syncing.

As an example, if I try to sync with the Amarr killboard, the request is like this:

Code:

http://www.amarr-empire.net/killboard/?a=feed&year=2008&week=51&alli=Caldari+State&friend=1&losses=1&gz=1

So it's syncing kills for Alliance: Caldari State. However, if you search for that alliance on their board, you get something unexpected:

Code:

http://www.amarr-empire.net/killboard/?a=alliance_detail&all_id=530

The reason is obvious: The alliance is NONE and the Faction is Caldari State. Since the other boards dont use this mod, the syncing doesn't work. Any idea for a solution to this, short of looping through a sync of every corp in the faction for each week?

greetings,
i think the sync link and parameters are correct (Caldari State has the all_id 530 in this DB) ... the problem are the "old" killmails ... they all have the parameter "Faction: NONE" ... and since we have no kills for Caldari State in DB, the sync cant work :-)

the faction mode is running since 20.12.2008 ...

but i still have the problem to resync the old killmails ... i can resync it for my corp but how should i handle all the other corps?

greetings,
any chance to get the Faction MOD running together with the I-Net MOD's and the EXtended Fitting MOD?

This is something that I haven't thought of before tbh. If only everyone was running this mod

I'll see if I can figure something out, but it's a bit complicated since there are now really 3 types of Killboards: Non Faction Ones, Ones running my mod, and ones running 328 with the faction scripts from before. I think I can make it support my mod and the 328 one, but the Non Faction Ones will be an issue.

thank you

I had it working with it, but there was an issue with our kb since it doesn't work with killboards that support multiple sites. After I fix the other above problem, I'll look into it unless the mod maker changes his first... Hint Hint

I have modified the admin_feedsyndication.php file to handle the faction changes, but I can't test it myself. Please let me know if this works and if so I will modify the cron job so it works as well.
