GuildPanel is a social addon designed to streamline guild management.

Features

• Robust alt scanning that intelligently scans the public note of all guild members and constructs a database based on guessing which alt belongs to which main.
  • Creates matches based on exact-name matching and matching the first four characters of a name.
  • Will chain alts to the highest common main, i.e. A links to B links to C, both A and B will be alts of C.
• Provides easy to use tools for manually editing alts.
  • Set the main of a character.
  • Remove a main-alt association.
  • Remove all alts of a character.
  • Swap alt with main - recursively swaps all alts of a main with the new main.
  • Set main and all alts to be alts of another character.
• Downloader facility to share database among guild members.
  • Connect to your guild mates and download the alts database from them.
  • Quick and easy to use.
  • Helps new guild members to get to know all the alts of characters easily without spending weeks memorizing.
• Advanced search tool.
  • Perform advanced searches based on any criteria.
  • For example, find all characters where: Class equals Druid AND Level greater than 70.
  • Search fields: Name, Class, Level, Zone, Rank, PublicNote, OfficerNote (if allowed).
• Integrates with Social (O) panel.
  • GuildPanel operates in 2 modes:
    • Embedded mode: The Guild tab in the Social panel is replaced with GuildPanel, and buttons for the other tabs will appear in GuildPanel's window.
    • Stand-alone mode: GuildPanel is activated only through its hotkey (default: Alt-O).

Coming Soon

• A Twitter-like message board for sending short messages to guild mates that will persist until deleted.
• A voting booth in which guild members can create polls and have other guild mates vote in them.
  • Can be used for anything from a quick raid time availability confirmation to a place for members to vote on officer elections.
• Integration with LibAlt (or whatever it's called)

Known Bugs

• GuildPanel is a beta product. This means that errors are likely to occur in these situations:
  • Guild members having accented characters in their name can cause problems in the alt/main list.
  • Sometimes a "C stack overflow" error occurs. This is being investigated, but is hard to reproduce.
  • The Show Offline button in the Blizzard social panel is likely to malfunction.
  • Being kicked out of a guild or quitting a guild while guild panel is open is likely to cause an error.
  • Leaving a guild and joining another can cause errors. If you do this, please use the Empty Database function.
  • You cannot access GuildPanel while not in a guild. This is intentional but may cause errors.
  • When a player has two characters on different accounts and plays them simultaneously, this will cause a display glitch, but it's not too bad.
  • If your alts database becomes really weird and some players aren't showing up at all, delete it and start over.
  • If the Importer gets confused, you may have to just create associations manually.
  • The Downloader will only show the first 10 or so clients.
