Search for players by server

I take that what you seek is a simple customized functionality. It's doable, but trying to achieve that in the mediawiki backdrop is rather cumbersome and may not work afterall. Entropy has kindly provided me a spot on the server, where I can make this sort of things. It can be a weekend project in the summer, but for what you suggest to work, there needs to be enough interest (or you might be the only person advertising your availability...)

I actually found a neat link within the forums -
'http://www.fiestafan.com/forums/memberlist.php'
that lets you list (and sort) all the members of FiestaFan... VERY cool. If the list could also sort by server that would be even better! If the members info page had a field called 'I typically get online at time:' x and then we could sort by server and time, that would be awesome! I understand this is now a forum request instead of a wiki request, who best handles forum / member mods?
As for people wanting it... idk. Who on FiestaFan would like to be able to find other FFs (by server and online time) to plan KQs, plvling, tower/castle tours, buy/sell great gear or just send emails to each other?
BTW, thanks for the help, this is a very helpful site!!

Modding the forum scripts is probably more difficult than creating something new. If you (and plenty of others too to make it work!) are interested in what I said previously, let me know.

Dang, too bad modding the script is such a pain. Is there any way to pull information from the members records (in game name, lvl, server) to populate a searchable list / database? If not, it would require folks to keep that info in two spots... which most people would not be inclined to do. Heck, if we could just dump the data into a raw comma delimited file we could download it and sort it via a spreadsheet.

Well, my goal is to make it easy for players to find one another and have a way to communicate outside the game. I've been p'lvling folks lately and trying to explain all the 'best practices' you find here to them in one line whispers is almost impossible!

It's time you copied and pasted URLs into the chat

I'll look into this in more detail after my exams and let you know what I find. Till then!

LOL, copy and paste would be great if I could get it to work! You'll have to let me in on the secret ways to do that

Best of luck on your exams.
