The next version of WoW Guild Retrieve is coming, and this will be a doozy of an update.
Slated for an April 30th release, WGR 2 brings a host of new features.
-
Caching – The plugin will only retrieve data from the Armory every 4/12/24 hours, depending on what you set the frequency to. This means high traffic sites will no longer experience temporary blacklisting.
-
New data source – Instead of pulling from the old XML service, v2.0 will parse the new Armory. This means new information will be available for display, including (but not limited to) Achievement Points.
-
More flexible limit options – The new version lets you set a specific level limit instead of just the option of 85-only. You will also be able to limit the players displayed by rank.
-
New styling options – Visual control is back! Instead of just “dark” and “light” themes, you will be able to control the colors of each of the fields through the plugin settings page.
-
Column display toggling – Now you will be able to toggle individual columns on or off. Everything but the name column will now be optional.
In addition, there will be some behind-the-scenes changes to make the plugin play nicer with other plugins and generally be easier to use.
