Hi, im very new to all this and have done a quick search but cant find anything with a huge amount of detail in.

Basically im looking for a way of displaying what ships my fellow corp members can fly in nice catagories etc. I can manual input their api etc but just looking for what is best to use to compile a nice list at the end and any how to do it all. Or if a programme already exsist please point in right direction as i have failed to find.

Thanks

You will need characterSheet of each member to get their list of skills, you will probably want the corp memberlist though you can ommit this if you're just going on entered keys.

Then you compare what skills pilots have against the static datadump, this holds what skills are needed for each ship. I'd guess you'll want to go through every category 6 item (ships) and look at the dgm info as this is where the required skills are. However, it will be limited as it will show what people can fly, but not if they can fly them properly. For example they may be able to fly a dictor or hictor, but they may be missing the ability to use a bubble launcher or module.

If you're new to all this then this project maybe a little big.

Hey mate,

Here is the best place to start if your new to the API it provides you with a little experiance with MySql and php.

If you can get that working correctly from the tutorials its a good start for furture projects you may want to undertake and just allows your to get a little experiance.

My advice is to build you project bit by bit small bit by small bit.

Cheers.

EVEboard displays the ships a person can fly in a user friendly manner. This is less geared towards tracking large numbers however but might be worth at least looking at.

I think this person wants a list say of each ship and how many people can fly it sorta deal or who exactly can fly it.

eg

abaddon - bill k, jim j, sam c.

That sorta thing i think.

Eveboard when i last used it was geared towards 1 person maybe a couple more if you use the compare function but for corps or alliances it was not really an option for what they want in the output.
