Jita Prices API call is returning some very outdated information. (I've only tried that call, not sure if other API calls are functioning well or not.) Example for Mechanical Parts:

http://www.evemarketeer.com/api/jita_info/3689/xml

Select output, seems to reflect the state of the market during the datetime in question, but the datetime is rather old:

type_id: 3689
region_id: 10000002
station_id: 60003760
datetime: 2011-10-20 18:09:30

sell_lowest: 11239.98
sell_highest: 34000
sell_lowest5: 11243.358326225
buy_highest: 8501.04
buy_avg: 7665.2050780545
buy_lowest: 8501.04
buy_highest5: 8501.01826388197

I live to break things. In this particular case, I was setting up a sheet to track T1 ship construction prices and estimated margins. Since I don't have typeIDs for the new BCs yet, I had to just either leave those cells blank or put zeros in.

Zeros as a "invalid" return value are good, because you can easily exclude them with a CountIf() in most spreadsheets. And they don't screw up any Sum() functions. So if I pull 3 regions, I just do the calculation for the average price column as:

AvgPrice = Sum(A4:C4) / CountIf(A4:C4,">0")

It is monstrous what sort of an effect a specific server can have on your application. EVE marketeer is now running on hardware 4 times worse than the previous setup, but it's processing way faster than ever before... This could be awesome :D

First impressions of Storm on Demand are very good.

Error return for current report bug, just in case it is helpful to you. :)

Got one tonight while looking up an item:

@Scrapyard: You are correct. The uploader is indeed very unresponsive while uploading. I'd been thinking about that problem myself, but have obviously not found a fix for it yet. Having the uploads handled in different threads would be nice (and very effective, at least in terms of UI responsiveness), but I so far have been unable to implement it.

@Turhan Bey: Thank you. Besided the old data issue, which I'm trying to fix in the station_info API (and then link jita_info to that), it now seems to be giving a template error (which is weird, as those functions should not look at templates anyway).

While trying to load the history for Tritanium


Also


The "Total Bounties" and "Total Bounty Taxes" always shows the total amount regardless of what you set the time to. If you set it to 1 day, it should show totals for the past day. I don't know about the mission totals as I haven't run any in the time the site was able to grab logs for.

1) Maybe limit the history tab to 90 orders per page, or 30 and go by months rather than a year.

2) After waiting about 30 seconds for the orders tab to load:

I don't know if this is because you are still working on it, or something like the history page was doing yesterday (loading a long time then giving an error).


3) Make sure you mark the things as done on the feedback page, you missed pagination, clicking on search result to submit, etc.

4) The checkbox for the signature won't save, it always stays empty and the sig stays private.

4) I like the new tables at the top of the items page and the other layout/design/css changes.

5) The uploader is screwed up. It stopped uploading at 301, then stopped, no errors, just stopped. Restarting it didn't fix it, nor did disabling all but EMK.

6) The uploads aren't being processed?

Most of those things fixed. And put the server in temporary reinforced mode while I mess with the database.

On the bounty tracker page:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/www.evemarketeer.com/mod/missions.php on line 40

And the table is very screwed up now, only numbers where the names should be and all 0's in the amount column.

And it would appear that the totals are still wrong.
