Got started on the attendance status stuff. They basics are in there. I need to create a new page to change them right now you can change them where you change the sign up types of other users, but them sharing a page is too cluttered. So some more testing and a new page to edit them, then its on to figuring out some place to put them on the stats page.

Yesterday at lunch I started work on a xml writer for my rpg. It is designed to be an all-in-one. I pass in an object and it uses reflection to get the data members and writes them to the xml. In theory I can use this same stuff to parse the xml files into the objects. I'll have to keep working on this. It is tedious, but if it means I don't have to write a new parser/writer combo for every game object I create it'll be worth it.

Oh mutlispeak how I hate you.

The stats page has been converted to templates. Now its time to talk to Nate about setting up the attendance status so there'll be a record of when people don't show up to raids.

I've put the rpg on hold for the time being. With the wedding getting close and our OMS project about to go beta I don't really have the time or the energy to doing much hobby coding. I'm thinking that I'll give the rpg a rest for a couple of months and come back to it after things die down this summer.

Until then I've agreed to give Nate a hand with his Raid Ninja Project. I'm currently working on a stats page so that the raid leaders can view signup statistics on their raiders. Currently it can filter by name, class and dates. I might add some more filter options if we come up with any that would be useful, maybe roles. My next step is to convert it to the template system and after that we are going to implement an attendance status system to track if people acutally show up. Then I can add those stats into the stats page.
