The Guild is undergoing Renovation. Read On.
Ulfareht
, Feb 20, 08 7:20 PM.
Due to recent events and concerns about the guild structure, I am streamlining the ranks and creating a new way to become a member of this great guild. I am renaming the ranks and access. Do not be alarmed. This is in the best interest of the guild and all our members.
The goal of our restructure is to encourage guildies to group together and help each other within the game. That's the purpose of a guild, by the way. This new set of promotion guidelines will put the pressure on the new player to prove his value to the guild. It won't be hard. He/she will simply need to play with our guildies, prove he/ she is of quality character, and ask our members to vote "yes" on the website. Our goal is always to recruit quality players, not just quantity.
First off, there is an application coming for all new members. These new members that would like to join our ranks will be called RECRUITS. Recruits will be required to fill out our new guild application. Upon doing so, they will be in a recruit phase for 15 days. I will put up a poll for you to vote for their promotion through the ranks. More on this to come. Then they will become an Initiate. They will have 30 days of this rank to get voted into full memberships status. More to come on this.
Full members will now be called VETERANS. Veterans will have more access to withdraw from the bank and be considered a full member of this guild.
Next rank will be CLASS LEAD. Class Leads will be an active force in our guild and all aspects of the game. They will run their own forum and give Veterans access to those associated forums. Class Leads will be helpful in planning events and getting their class to the highest that they can be.
BANKER will be a special rank appointed by the Guild Commander and will have special privileges in our guild bank.
CHAMPION will be our next rank. This rank will get nominated in by our Champions and Commanders and will show participation in Guild Events, Meetings and Website. A Champion is the cream of the crop and a very dedicated and helpful participant of this guild.
Asst Guild Commander - Wilbo
Guild Commander - Ulf.
Ranks will no longer be based on the level of your character. To move any higher than Veteran, you must rise above the crowd and show that you are a willing contributor to the guild, forums and events that will be coming in the future.
If you have any questions or concerns please let me know asap. Thank you.
Ulf.

WoWProgress and Achievements
GuildPortal Change Log Entry
9/8/2010 4:33 PM
A new widget is available for World of Warcraft guilds, called "WoWProgress.com Ranking." It integrates with the popular WoWProgress.com web site to provide ranking data on your guild. Add the widget to one of your pages and edit it for further information on configuring integration (the folks at WoWProgress have made it really, really easy with GuildPortal-specific instructions on their side, as well).
Also, achievements are now retro-actively, and automatically, awarded to associate-level and above members of guild sites. There was a lot of confusion surrounding when achievements were awarded -- they were awarded when an exact trigger value for was hit, not when above -- so it's been changed to work in a more sensible way.
New RSS Options
GuildPortal Change Log Entry
9/2/2010 1:07 PM
Guild admins now have the ability to enable RSS feeds for their guilds that will provide more than just public-level data. Whenever a member of a guild site clicks on any of the RSS links, they are presented with a list of available feeds. If guild admins have checked "Allow Authenticated RSS" in the Control Panel > General Settings > General, the links will contain a key specific to that user, so that when they paste the RSS link into their reader, they will be able to see information that they would be able to see when actually logged into the site.
The reason RSS links now display a page with available feeds instead of directly opening the feed is to prevent accidental copying and pasting of an entire page with the sensitive links in them. Also, when this functionality is enabled, users are warned to never share their specific key with anyone else. Admins who are concerned about this should simply not enable "Allow Authenticated RSS," and all RSS feeds will only display public-level data.
In addition to this new functionality, two new types of feeds have been added: Shouts and Upcoming Events.
Lurking Beastie Online
GuildPortal Change Log Entry
8/25/2010 5:51 PM
In order to satisfy the requests that have been coming in for better forum searching, we have deployed the first part of an entirely new engine. At the moment it is only indexing, building up data from the moment we pushed it. Unfortunately, it will not be going back and retro-actively indexing all posts, since that amounts to exactly 27,511,414 items.
However, it will provide much better search moving forward. We will likely push the front-end for searching (to replace the current forum search) within the next two weeks, and provide an option for "archive searching" if you're looking for posts that are older than the new engine.
Bank and Quests Enhancements
GuildPortal Change Log Entry
8/20/2010 7:06 PM
Guild bank item requests now provide the ability for the person requesting to specify the quantity of the item(s) they are requesting, as well as to which character the item(s) should be delivered.
Quest step completion has been greatly de-ickified (hush, spell checker). Now, when viewing a quest's details, there is a link under each step that, when clicked, will expand a grid. The grid shows all guild characters, is sortable/searchable, and has a check box next to each character's name. Both the owner of a character and a Quest Admin for guild sites are able to check/un-check the box, indicating whether or not that particular character has completed that step in the quest.
A glitch in the one-to-one website chat has been fixed.
Finally, a buncha other things have gone live in response to support tickets.
Have a great weekend!
More Customization, Creeps, and Temporal Shifts
GuildPortal Change Log Entry
8/13/2010 8:52 PM
The nav bar can now be positioned above the banner. It's an increasingly popular look lately, so there you go. The option can be set through Control Panel > Style Tools > Navigation Style > Tab Bar Location.
In addition, right next to the options for the location is a spinner for setting the absolute height (in pixels) of the Nav Bar. Dynamically generated gradient images (with or without gloss) will be regenerated for you to match the new height.
You can now set the spacing between widgets using the spinner found at Control Panel > Style Tools > Content Boxes (Widgets) > Spacing Between Widgets.
Icons for LOTRO "Creeps" guilds, which doesn't in the least mean anything derogatory (they're monsters!) now display in the integrated roster.
Recurring events are back to functioning the way they should.
The Page Options will no longer permit the entry of non-sound files or URLs that point only at web pages.
An issue where a user's time zone preference would switch to something else -- seemingly at random -- has been fixed. We apologize for any temporal shifts and the appearance of any DeLoreans (no, sincerely, we're sorry if any of those have appeared).
Two New Widgets!
GuildPortal Change Log Entry
8/11/2010 5:46 PM
For those who'd like a little more integration between their guild sites and the social networking giants out there, we have added two new widgets: Twitter Feed and Facebook Like.
The Twitter Feed widget lets you tap into any publicly-available Twitter user's feed and display it on your site, just like any other widget. It also comes with some customization options and automatic (without having to refresh the page) updates.
The Facebook Like widget displays a link to visitors which they can click to "Like" your site on Facebook, as well as see how many others have already done so. Regardless of where you place the widget, it's site-level, so place it wherever you want, and the like count will apply everywhere.
WoW Add-On Update
GuildPortal Change Log Entry
8/9/2010 4:47 PM
The GPHelper add-on for WoW has been updated to version 1.60, and addresses a problem where bank item imports were simply adding the items to the running list, without first checking to see if they were there. This resulted in saved variables files that became quite large, and uploading it could result in errors.
Everybody should install the update (a link is available in the Control Panel under WoW Integration), and those who were affected by the errors on upload should be sure to run a "/gph update" (without the quotes) command, in-game.
Calendar and File Manager Updates
GuildPortal Change Log Entry
8/6/2010 6:54 PM
You are now able to specify an end date/time for events, either through the event editor or by viewing the events in weekly agenda view (on the regular, large Calendar widget) and dragging the bottom of the event to a different end time. Note that you can also drag and drop events on the calendar to change days or start times, as well.
The Events List widget, when placed in the center of a page, will now display much like the full calendar, except with only the current week displayed.
Icons for custom event categories will now display at 16x16 pixels, instead of 12x12.
The File Manager has been cleaned up a bit, and multi-file uploads are back. In addition, auto-optimization of JPG images has been improved quite a bit. If you've tried it in the past and were disappointed with the image quality, give it another try!
The Quests widget now lists categories as a selection, instead of just dumping the full list of quests. Got pretty messy there for active questing guilds.
