I seem to be having an issue where it's confusing transactions from two different stations on the same item. I'm flipping the same item in both amarr and jita.

There's a large discrepancy in prices between the two stations; The sell price in Amarr is actually lower than the buy price in Jita. However, I still make a 40% profit in Amarr because the buy price is also much lower. However, the tool thinks I am selling the item for less than I bought it for, not recognizing that it's in a totally different place. Right now it's telling me I'm taking a 2% loss.


EDIT: Here's a picture: http://i.imgur.com/ORZNOLZ.jpg

Further down there are my buy orders in jita for ~100k, which is what's causing the confusion.

Has anyone had any issues with trades placed on behalf of a corp? My character trades are showing fine (which are all personal skill-related) and all orders (on behalf of corp) are showing, but none of my transactions or profit are showing on behalf of corp. I will be adding numerous characters over time, but for ease of hauling will keep all trades on behalf of corp. Trading only started a few days ago, so it's not like there are years of transactions it's trying to pull. I'm on an elite trial right now and will be upgrading to paid status in the next few days, assuming everything works as expected.

Thanks.


On transaction, you may need to hit the "corporation" tab to load corporate transactions. This is the only way I could combine both char/corp transactions without a heavy sql load/joining/ resource intensive merge arrays.


I think the root problem is choosing the wrong wallet.

I chose the "mercenary" choice thinking this was meant as the "master" wallet. Looking in corp, it looks like there are 7 including the master as #1. Princess Saskia suggested I changed the corp api to full, so I did that and on the new api chose wallet 1. However, the manage API's screen shows very limited info and I have no idea if it took the changes until I see the next api pull. The wrong wallet choice would explain things though.

For my purposes, I need to see more than just a realized gain and loss. I need to see asset values as well, since I will end each month with lots of tradeable inventory on hand, and I'm keeping track for shareholders more than for myself. Once I can get Eve-Mogul to show what it should, I'll probably use a combination of some sort of asset valuation tool (to value all assets in various stations at Jita bid prices) and some manual calculations for isk + escrow to represent the isk on hand.

I tried out Evernus as well, but it was less helpful than I hoped. Ultimately, long term, I think we'll have to get together and create a web-based API tool that does everything anyone could want in a highly customizable configuration.


*edit* everything seems to be working now- was probably the wallet choice. I've made 40m isk in my sleep being very lazy and waiting on alt's trade skills to train up.

You can always find me on the forum section of Minerbumping.com :o)

I've some problems with api-pulls since two days.
Yesterday eve mogul just pulled every 2-3 hours, today was the last pull at 07:56.

Something wrong with the api-system?

Same here, last API pull was at 2015-03-22 06:22:25 and both my keys are flagged so no pulls are happening. But the API keys are still valid and have not been changed.

I looked at the limited log and it basically says that a number of sequential API pulls have failed on the 22nd of March, and then the API keys were flagged. So the API servers might have been unavailable at the time or similar, and probably you have coded in that X number of sequential fails will trigger a flag.

Updating the API keys to new ones solved the problem and forced a new pull, but it would be nice to have something like a manual "try again" button for when this happens, so that I could have made the server try to use those old still working API keys again.

Thats a good point. Whenever CCPs servers were down a few days a go some of my APIs were flagged as well. I'll add a button to "retry" the API.

I have it coded on the new frontend server, I'll work on moving the DNS settings to the new server soon.

If you don't use SSO, as CCP won't authenticate if the application callback url isn't what's stored, you can use:

Site will be down for the next hour or two, depending how long it takes to migrate the database to my new backend server.

Sorry for the interruption in service, I'll compensate everyone's subscription accordingly!

Site should be back up!

I changed the dns to my new frontend server, so the website might not load right away. Should propagate world-wide over the next 6-12 hours.

I decided to give the site a try, but it seems totally inaccurate and useless since it won't pull more than a month old transactions, and thus all my old stock won't show any profits.

If I were to keep using it, will it eventually be able to show profits on more than a month old stock? I have really slow turnover.

Have a try now. Had to add a cross site header between the blank/www. Should all work now.

I've tried two separate API keys, including the predfined one, but don't seem to be getting any data pulled/refreshed? It says last API pull was "1970-01-01 00:00:00"

Any ideas?

Backend's service stopped, I've restarted it and should be pulling now.

It's a new environment, so not all the failsafes I had before need to be re-implemented. I'll keep up with it and it shouldnt happen again.

The site currently does not display the top menu for me in any browser, since 2-4 days ago. On mobile the top left burger menu was there a few days ago but is now replaced by a placeholder so menu functionality does not appear on mobile either.
I can still navigate the site by manually editing the URL.

Top Menu Missing, sub menu scrambled

In the image above another display oriented problem is showcased which has been present since the move to more "material" design. The sub menus on several pages have overlapping words. In this case "Custom Top Profit" overlaps with Station Report.


Another display problem that I have encountered since material redesign is with table layouts. You are using a table column width that automatically scales with content. When you scroll down a page, Transactions for example, you automatically load and add more rows to the bottom of the table which creates an endless scrolldown effect, which is good.
But new rows that are added might/will contain values with different length, so the whole table will readjust column width again. This happens every time new rows are added.

Let's say you have one page with only buy transactions. The profit will be 0,00 for all those rows. Then you scroll down and get new rows with high profit sell orders. Now the whole table must adjust its column widths.
In many cases this will also force other columns such as the station name and the item name to line break, going from for example one line of text to two or three lines of text, and since that text must fit within the same cell the table will also readjust its row heights, which makes the table readjust itself in height too, making rows jump around for a bit before the table settles on one auto adjustment and goes still again.

Perhaps a fix could be to use fixed values for at least some columns such as Profit and Price and only let other columns scale automatically with cell contents.

EDIT:
That wouldn't actually be a fix since other columns might vary a lot too. Not sure about a fix.
Of course the problem with table scaling is less prominent the wider the browser window is, but as long as at least one cell has to scale in width/height the whole table must readjust.

EDIT2:
The disappearing top menu is width related too, just discovered that if I increase the browser window width the top menu becomes visible. The CSS class "hide-on-med-and-down" is the culprit, it hides the top menu for mobile devices but is based on width only. For mobile devices an alternative burger menu is displayed, but on desktop you end up with no top menu if the browser window width is too narrow.

I logged on using SSO and the app is not recording any profits, orders, or anything. Is this because I used the program several months ago and input my API instead?

You need to enter in API info, if they're flagged then you must re-enter them.

Also, I just implemented SSO recently. Your new SSO account won't be able to link the characters from your old account to your new one as they're being held on your other account. Due to the nature of characters, and ability to transfer between players I don't want to add an automated "link SSO account with old account". Someone very may well have added the character to their account, sold it to you and then when you "register" with SSO, it'll link you with someone else's account.

If you remember your last account's login, you need to log in with that. There are forgotten password pages available if you forgot your credentials.

I've adjusted some of the CSS classes on the navbar to help with this. There are still some overlapping in the navbar between what seems like 600px and 992px. I need to fix some of those query classes to better handle the number of items in the bar.

I'll also look into the tabs issue that happens when the window size is smaller, and come up with some solutions for that.

The graph function is not working for me as well, and as this is the only way you can see past days profits (no tables or other way to see this data), I am basically dead in the water for daily totals. Anyone have a workaround or an ETA on when graphs will be working again?

I've just tested the graphs in IE, firefox and chrome.

Can you convo me ingame so we can figure out why yours isn't working?
