EVE-KILL is now also using the zkb image server. Lets see if it holds up under load, and how much BW it'll end up using after today.

Maybe it'll stay, maybe it'll get axed. Shocked

This is something I have thought of and would like to do. But please keep in mind that it isn't as easy as you might think. Sure, we can make something that will just hand the html over to you, but what about the CSS formatting? Will your server properly include that? Will the forum/blog/reader embed it properly? Will the client properly parse it? In some cases yes, other cases no, and we're too lazy of programmers to really want to account for all the cases.

For now, include a link and it'll just work! :)

We already include OpenGraph stuff ( https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraphprotocol/ )

So you could just parse that, and get some modest info about the link to our page, same way Facebook and Twitter gets it.

Hi guys, thanks for all your work on this KB. I love it.

One question though, my all-time kills in Zkillboard don't match up to eve-kill. What's it not counting?

p.s. sorry if this is a)obvious or b)frequently asked.

It's been asked a bajillion times Lol

But, the reason is because all the mails from EVE-KILL hasn't been imported yet, still about 1.4million left as of writing this.
And quite a big chunk of all the ones already moved over, failed to post, so we have to go through a million or two manually afterwards. Cry

Sorry!

Well good job so far, I recently found out i'm the all time top killer in the well known solo pvp hub that is Turnur. I would not have known i was such a fearsome gladiator of spaceship combat had I not played with this killboard.

Keep up the good work :)

So a few updates.

Monday afternoon Squizz managed to murder the entire database, so we had to reimport a backup for EVE-KILL, but during that process we discovered that the backup of zKB was only half complete, which means that every table after our participants table (The one containing all the parsed killmails) was lost, including the participants table.

This means we have to recontruct all the missing tables, reparse all the mails (luckily, the tables containing the raw mails wasn't lost, phew!) and have people register again.

**** happens Roll

In other news, i got bored of watching FlyBoy whine over me and Squizz telling people to use zKB's API with EDK, and opted to create a new parameter for our API, that'll spit it all out in an XML format that EDK should understand. (Should!)

You can get more information here: https://zkillboard.com/information/api/

After a bit of wondering why zKB was actually slower than it should be (It's still retardedly fast, but still) i set out to look at if xcache was working (which it was)

Then started looking at other parts, and somehow ended up looking at Twig (the template system) and noticed it wasn't actually caching the templates. Then ran into a C extension for Twig which i compiled and installed, and then i fixed the template cache issue.

AND BAM!

50% speed increase Shocked

Pages went from taking ~80ms to load on the server, to taking ~40ms (or 800 to 400ms etc. etc.)

Best part, i can probably get a bit more out of it Lol

Just FYI. It looks like tier3's current are not worth any points, I imagine this is because CCP changed the groupID for those ships.

example: https://zkillboard.com/detail/-8308208/ or any other tier3 loss

Yup, I think you're right! I'll have to go through and get those recalced. Thanks for the heads up.

My corp was founded by a friend of mine in 2009, but zKillboard lists kills going back to 2007.

I'm assuming this means that a corp with an identical name was founded in 2007, but disbanded some time before 2009. Then was re-founded by my friend. The API then considers it to be the same corp, due to the identical name. Correct? Is there any way to omit the kills from 2007 and 2008 to get a more accurate picture of my corp history, or is this just one of those "deal with it" consequences of the API?

It also says we have only 2 members in the corp, when I know we have 11. How often is that updated?

zKB doesn't suffer the same name problem on kills that EDK does, if, and only if, the kill is backed by API. During our import from Eve-Kill I've run into various problems having to do with names which I'm sorting through as we go. Mostly its a "deal with it" issue as killmails from 4+ years ago are kind of iffy. This isn't really the fault of you, us, or even CCP, its just the way the game has changed over the years.

Prior to today corp membership was only updated once a month. Its funny you ask that since I *just* finished modifying that code about an hour ago that will allow zKB to update those values about once every 3 days or so.

I know that there was a hiccup with eve-kill a little while ago but I had successfully petitioned a loss off of my killboard and it's suddenly back again. Do I have to petition that again?
The said re-appearing loss is Here

Thanks again, Guys

Edit: You guys are awesome. Thank you!

Hello,

I love the new look and the design of zKillboard! I was just curious, is it possible to download the source and host my own? Thanks!
