I would like to start collecting item data from links given in game and raid events to a Mysql database so that I can use the data for posting drops on the guild website, kind of like how the 13thfloor.org EQItems does it.

Example:
Code: 
<script src="http://eqitems.13th-floor.org/itemjs.php?name=Blade+of+Carnage"></script>
I know it probably would tak allot of coding to get this functionality but I think it would be a great idea. I dont know of any Item collectors for Vanguard yet?

wouldnt it be possible to parse links in /ooc or any channel and store that info, or is there allot more involved than that?

If all you want to store are links then yes, that is no problem. But if you want to be able to store stats then you will need more than what is currently available.

I was speaking more on the lines of an application that would retrieve ingame data. The database you linked, if I am not mistaken is player submited.

Thanks though.

***Edit i was wrong it is application based hmmm...

The reversing world isn't a huge place ;) I'm the author of the components used for curse's database. We have full syndication for guilds available and will be adding more. No need to go through the tedious process of gathering all of it yourself. Not to mention there's a lot more infrastructure needed than just the ability to grab it.

PS. Amadeus, could you do me a favor and contact me at asp_at_bluemail.org? DS.

Cool, do you have plans to have some type of way to link the item the way I stated above? I am aware of the requirements as far as a database goes. I would like to be able to brab the info and store it in a MySql database and run a query on the data.

Did anyone get anywhere with this? I need a way of pulling the item data out of windows and links and dumping them to a database.

Can someone help? I really want to work on something that will use this but I am stuck without a collector or a site that provides the data over xml
