Download: value_fetch_pwu

What does Value Fetch - 'personal webspace update version' do?
Same thing as the original version does! It updates the values in your killboard for ships and faction items but it updates from your own domain rather than beanman's site.

The reason I made this modification is because two other people I know, and myself, have issues with our hosting companies/ISPs who block our ability to use PHP in order to access remote information or download files on our domains. I had to grab files from beanman's site and upload them to my own webspace and modify the existing PHP code to import them into the MySQL database to get around this problem. This modification is a work-around to that problem and the end result is the same - updated values on your killboard. The only difference really is that you'll be importing the actual XML file from your own domain instead of directly from beanman's site every time you click the "Fetch" button. Saves on bandwidth of nothing else!

If there are any errors found I apologise in advance. This modification of value_fetch has been tested and works perfectly on my own killboard installation. Please let me know if you find any errors and I will endeavour to correct them asap.

If you find this modification usefull then a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon have been very well spent. Enjoy!

[edit] forgot to mention, view the readme.txt file included before you proceed with any uploading.

Very well done - i think Thanks for that mod!

Think i have a problem :S Maybe it's a problem with the permissions i get from the provider?!
So or so, if i wanna fetch, i get two errors:



This mod is the only i installed myself. Hope it wasn't my fault. but on the other hand: hope it was my fault and i could get it run
Any idea?

In fetcher.php, instead of specifying;
var $compfile = "http://yuna-corp.bplaced.net/html/yuna_killboard/data/items.xml.gzphp"
as the path to the file, try this:
var $compfile = "data/items.xml.gzphp"

Are you only getting an error with items.xml.gzphp and not items.xml?

Maybe, get in touch with your webhosts and send them the fopen() [function.fopen] error and see what they have to say? Either allow_url_fopen or allow_url_include has not been enabled in the php.ini configuration of your server, is my best guess without investigating further.
