As in, making the upload tool send them directly to EMD instead of passing them through the EMK site? That would be good, at least EMD would get its updates even if EMK is having trouble (or vice-versa).

(Tonight, in order to update market data, I'm using the EMD market-scanner page, because the EMK page button to start scanning is not showing up.)

The scanner page is definitely still having issues, if it does come up, it eventually ends up with a gateway timeout error - which means my noble attempt to leave an alt logged in overnight comes to naught.

On the feature request side:

http://www.evemarketeer.com/statistics/uploads
- It would be better if this page was sorted by region name in alphabetical order, instead of by RegionID

http://www.evemarketeer.com/statistics/regions
- same request, please sort by region name

http://www.evemarketeer.com/item/itemprice/Oxygen_Isotopes
- On the regional prices tab, it would be useful if there was an indicator as to how current the data is for each region. Maybe presented as "The Forge (3 hrs)" or "Domain (2 days)"
- The orders tab, doesn't let me look at other regions

Thank you for your feedback.

Sorting on the regions page makes sense, I'll fix that.

Sorting on the uploads page is already by name, only from left to right and up to down, instead of up to down left to right.

The itemprice page currently has a field that shows you how recent the data was. I agree it might be useful to add it to the regional tab.
I do wonder what you mean by, the orders tab does not let me look at other regions though. I think your issue is mainly with having to reload the entire page to switch regions, while it could be done faster? Or that you would like to quickly look at a different region without changing your default?

In regards to the uploader, it does not upload to EVE Central. Nor do I have plans to support it in the future. I do understand Muscaat of EVE Markets made an uploader that uploaded to all of our websites (EC, EMK and EMD), though the one that I can download from his website at this moment does not work (at least on my PC).

Lastly, the uploader page, I have no idea why it would be giving gateway timeout errors. I'll test it myself and see what I can dig up. It it not really acceptable that people leave their computers on all night to upload, only to find that it crashes halfway trough. Otherwise I'll just make the refresh AJAX too, and have it automagically refresh it's list if it detects no activity.

getting an error when trying to log in at the moment, and this error message

Server Time: 2011-10-19 00:10:43 Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/core/lib/dwoo/plugins/personal/region_list.php on line 28

When you're feeling better.

If you don't get better soon enough you will wish you hadn't red this due to how quickly I keep adding things to this list, but get better anyway.

And now for the long list of bugs/suggestions... (I did put these in the feedback system on the site as well)

1)
http://www.evemarketeer.com/player/account
Warning: implode(): Invalid arguments passed in /var/www/mod/player.php on line 75

2)
You also might want to turn the order history page when looking at an item into a paged list, or shorten it. Right now it takes a long time to load and is very long.

3)
Shorten/page the upload history page.
Also some of mine are showing -1 for the credits earned.
ex: Assault Missile Launcher II, Assault Missile Launcher I Blueprint, Ship Scanner II

4)
On the mission statistics page, it says I need to add a character to the account, when I have and it has pulled the API for it. Maybe say what permissions from the API are needed when showing that error.

5)
Same error as above but on the My Transactions page. I have market orders and wallet transactions enabled on the API.

6)
What do the red/green items on the API page mean (color wise)? If it means it is enabled on the API, it is wrong. Such as CalendarEventAttendees is green but I don't have it enabled for that API key, and WalletTransactions is red yet I have it enabled on the API (see #5, maybe I should have made this a flowchart =] ).

7)
On the API page all of the titles say they are for the corporation when I entered a character API key

8)
On the Profit per Ship page, the titles for the columns should me reworded. Exactly what is a mrokh and mhulk? I would have assumed it meant meta, but miners/strip miners don't have the meta versions of them. I can see a deep-core Rokh if thats what it meant.

Maybe just include active orders, or just ones that have been seen in the past x days in the download.

I don't remember what it was but with another project that I think was on google code, people could upload patches that the devs would then incorporate into the main code if they thought it was good. I don't remember what system it was with, but maybe that would be helpful allowing anyone to submit code patches to you.

It seems I about doubled/tripled the length of the feedback page on the site now =]


Edit: I found what I was looking for.
I don't know if github has something like this or not, but it might be helpful for patches.
http://code.google.com/p/hlstatsxcommunity/source/browse/web/templates/default/thanksto.tpl?edit=1
So basically you edit the code on the site, describe the change and you can suggest the patch to the devs.


On a side note, look into adding this link to your sig for the people that don't have crome. http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/112772

I haven't used github much. I'm used to SVN. I'm assuming you will post a link to the repo as soon as you are done setting it up?


Edit: just curious. What are the machine specs this is run off of? I know it's ubuntu and running nginx/apache.


Edit 2: I have noticed things loading slowly at times. So maybe add the page compile/load time and the number of sql queries at the bottom of every page. Something that might help us bug reporters to find things that are an issue. (Especially helpful once you release the code).

Ok. I was thinking of something more along the lines of it showing all the time in a way that doesn't mess up the page layout.
ex. http://chubaka.dyndns.biz/~ci/ipb_stats.png

Ok. I thought the screenshot would help give you an idea of what I meant and an idea for a way to incorporate it into the site.

How about this?

(I just grabbed the code from the IPB Forums site and stuck it in there using your theme.)
