Title: Need a Roster/Editable Table for a Guild
Post by: Xuroth on February 08, 2013, 12:53:26 pm
I'm faced with a conundrum. I'm part of a Guild Wars 2 guild that has its own SMF forum board. I want to add an editable table (add entries and columns) for a roster. I can't seem to find any widgets on Google that will let me do this. About the best I can find, is to either switch to a guild host site that offers the roster feature (not acceptable) or just keep downloading new text files, editing them, and reupload them (which is a pain).

Basically, I want to have a form that the officers (who are the only ones with access to this utility) can add in a players name, and other info easily. Sort through the table by name, invited by, etc. and be able to update activity status for the player/edit notes.

I thought of MySQL (which is a bit above my head), using other websites' member areas to manage the roster, trying to use a spreadsheet (need the sorting feature), and racking my brain trying to find new search terms in Google to get it. I found several examples of what I want, but they are not usable.

Widgetbox had a clan roster app, but its uneditable.
Tablepress is perfect, aside from the fact it requires Wordpress blog.
A few are paid apps.
Most are utilities reserved for members of Guildhead, Enjin, and other guild site hosts.


Essentially, what I'm asking for: Does anyone know of a widget/app/whatever that you can install into a webpage? Preferably without a DB, because for a small-ish guild, that is overkill. (In my opinion)

It needs:
Easy to use - some officers are not very computer savvy
Editable -update ranks (pro/demotion, inactive, notes)
Sortable - to find members based on stats
Modifiable - to add new columns/stats


Does anyone know how to do this or where to find it? Ive been Googling for hours, and it's gotten me nowhere. You guys have been a great help in the past, helping me troubleshoot my RPG Maker projects, and editing scripts, so I figured I would come here to ask for help.

Would it work if you simply used Google Drive, made a spreadsheet there and shared it with everyone? This should generally do the thing (except maybe sorting).

The sorting has been my major issue, but I'll look into it. Perhaps its available with proper formatting...
