Eve Killboard Plugin
You may have spotted the details about our latest kills on the front page of this blog. Screen shot of it to the right!
This is a little WordPress Plugin knocked together by Zaine. It connects to a EVE Development Network Killboard and pull out the last x kills and displays them in a widget. It also selects a random verb for how your opponent met their sticky end. I intend to enhance this to be configuratable from the widget controls, but the moment you can hack the code to add/remove terms.
You can customise the title of the widget and the number of kills to display. There is also an admin page where you put in the database details of where your killboard sits. The plugin also includes a stylesheet which allows you to style it to suit your blog.
Download the plugin from: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/eve-killboard/

Doing a makeover of my own site and saw this at EDK. I’ve posted a query there, looks cool, probably just me being retarded…

Awesome plugin works great, Ive been working on tweaking it for my corp’s website to display the victims portrait, easily accomplished if you pull the plt_externalid from the DB, setting it as a variable, then adding something like get at me Dal’ Hassen ingame if you want the actually code additions

Brilliant
Glad you can get it working. There are some issues with the way I’ve implemented this in WordPress, but it seems your set up avoids them.
Do you want to create a patch for it to grab photos?

Actually that would be superb, what I’ll do is work it out so the images are optional in the backend, email me if you’d like, or get at me ingame for discussion

Ok, think i got it, wp version is current, option in admin, as well it will also link to the kill by grabbing the kb domain from the users defined database.

I’ve just committed an important one line bug fix. Version 2.6.2.
Have you used the WordPress subversion repository? Might make sense for you to merge in my change and commit yours to a branch so I can check it out

Hey zaine was wondering if you had a second, cant get the EDNK to upload to WP right and theres not alot of literature out on google (or at least none thats apparent >.<) anyways if you find a free second you got my e-mail and i used my ingame toons name here.

Is there a way to have the displayed kills linkable? Now *THAT* would be excellent.
nuramori (May 03, 2010)
one more feature request; since bloggers as individuals may use this, can the plugin filter out only kills by one corpmate/alliance individual? that would be a useful feature too.

I have a partially completed update which includes links to the kill. I’m sure I could add in the other functionality too
