I am looking to start a project.

What i am looking to do is to do sorta like a tracking system. Where members of the corp/alliance can input data while flying through space to report wt's. with the info on the other page is updating every 60sec or so, that part iseasy, but i am wanting to make it as igb friendly as possible.

The issue that i am having is i am wanting to have the person that submitting the data to be able to drag and drop the needing info into the entry fields, then on the page that is displaying the data that has been submitted i am wanting to all be linkable ingame, ei: charname, corp/alliance tickers, and system. then i will later work on having it show home many jumps that person is from from the last reported siting of the wt.

does anyone know of an good resources for the igb and how it works... any help is much appreciated

Drag and drop from in game and to IGB no longer works and by the look of things won't be implemented again either.

As for IGB documentation eve-id still points to http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Category:In-game_Browser

Now I figured out that the show info url from linking items in chat has some neat info.
If one makes a link presses enter, then copy\pastes that into a regular text field the link looks something like

this boils down to a typeid followed by the unique itemid wich can be a corp,alliance,character anything you can make a show info link for.

I myself use this to make sense of the assets dump, mapping pos hangars etc etc. with a standard webpage, a text field and a backend regex function that finds the itemid I need.

Far from as good as drag and drop, but I haven't found any better way Roll

You can do certain in-game actions from a HTML page in the IGB using javascript. see http://wiki.eve-id.net/IGB_Javascript_Functions

And some information is provided to you via HTTP headers, see: http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/IGB_Headers

Everything else must be either pulled from the API, from the static data dump or entered manually.

If you combine all available resources, the result should be rather user friendly.

e.g.: Use contacts (API) and current position (HTTP headers) to report a WT.

Without drag'n'drop into the IGB it's getting very hard to keep it up to date (people are lazy)

I started something similar.. but the lack of the drag'n'drop option is pretty much killing it

if you got any questions about that one.. just ask
