Hey! Edit

Hi, thanks for all your work on Repeatable Events! Per the style guide, make sure you don't use more than one or two links to the same pages, and use the efficient format - i.e. [[Farming]] not [http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Farming Farming]. Good job anyway! Gaz Lloyd _Awesome^Events!_99s 20:27, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

RE: my sig Edit

I went ahead and fixed it (and did a quick code cleanup). I assume you know how to set it in your preferences. (I didn't see any extra underline, it may be your browser.)

Anytime.

I believe, once you've created your new badge, you need to check the Overwrite existing badge box and then click the [Save] button, for change to your badge to show.

Gaz Lloyd _Awesome^Events!_99s 12:53, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

You probably have the Let the admins override my skin choice. box checked - if you want a different skin then you'll have to uncheck it.

As for the badge if the above doesn't work, then I don't know - it works fine for me.

Make sure your signature is set to {{subst:Nosubst|Signatures/lawrence735}} (or variant if you plan to edit other wikis). Gaz Lloyd _Awesome^Events!_99s 19:51, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

That is indeed odd. If that doesn't work, make sure you're cache is cleared... then I don't know. You could try RS:AR.

RE: auto update stats Edit

Hey. There's currently two ways to do this: a semi-automatic way and a fully-automatic way. I'll outline them both:

Semi-automatic

Click here if you use the monaco (wikia default) skin or here for the monobook (wikipedia-style) skin (you can check with one you use here).
Set the parameters to what you want:
- ezHiscoresReminder - A number representing the reminder interval, in hours. If you would like for the reminder box to always appear, use 0.
- ezHiscoresPlayer - The name of your RuneScape player. This is surrounded in quotation marks.
- ezHiscoresPage - The Wiki page name of where your hiscore data is stored. This should always be a subpage of your user page (e.g. User:Lawrence735/Hiscores).
Save the page (don't add a section header/title/summary).
Refresh your cache by following the instructions for your browser listed on the page.

Further instructions for this are here.

Automatic

Add the following code to your userpage (anywhere), filling the appropriate values:

{{Hiscore autoupdate
|player=your current display name
|page=subpage of your page where the data is saved (e.g. User:Lawrence735/Hiscores)
|interval=days between updates - don't go below 1 per Jagex's request
}}

Save the page. The bot will update your page within about an hour, then every [interval] days.

Using the data

The data saved on the page you specify is the hiscores lite string (from http://hiscore.runescape.com/index_lite.ws?player=username see mine for example). This string isn't exactly pretty as is, so some users have created templates to make it more useful:

{{Parse user stats}}, the stats infobox with only a few parameters.
{{ParseHiscoreData|string|skill|type}}, the general way to bring up a skill (where string is the hiscores lite string (e.g. {{User:Lawrence735/Hiscores}} would be the string if your data is saved at User:Lawrence735/Hiscores), skill is the skill's name (no abbreviations, also a few others for minigames, see documentation), and type is the data you want output (0 is rank, 1 is level (default) and 2 is experience).

If you're not in the hiscores at all then the script won't work nor will QBot update; make sure you use your display name. If you're not in the hiscores for everything, then -1 will be output by PareHiscoreData - you'll need to keep that skill up to date manually.

You can also return the time the data was last updated using {{#time: j F Y|{{User:Lawrence735/Hiscores|time}}}}.

If that wasn't too much of an information overload, let me know if you need help Gaz Lloyd _Awesome^Events!_99s 20:30, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

I wasn't expecting you to mirror my method, its rather roundabout, but hey.

The hiscores page must remain as the jumble of numbers, unfortunately. The HS autoupdate template can't go there as it confuses QBot or would only perform one update, since it blanks the page and replaces it with the code when updating. This also means you can't add your navbar and hide the numbers - QBot would remove them anyway.

On the stats page, every time you update it (for the time to be most accurate) you should replace time=whatever with time={{subst:REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} - {{subst:REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} seems to be replaced by random number when saved - its actually the time of the last edit in the format YYYYMMDDhhmmss, which #time: converts to something more readable.

You could indeed use a template to calculate your combat level automatically - I would advise this one.

When using the setup you have, {{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|Totxp}} outputs your total experience (60738075); {{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|Totxp|sep}} outputs your total experience with commas after every 3rd number from the right (60738075, the number is 'formatted'). This is pretty much the same as: {{formatnum:{{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|Totxp}}}} - if you're happy to use that way then you can wipe off most of the code on the stat page.

You can add this code to the (each) #switch: on the stat page to return the minigame:

|Duelrn={{ParseHiscoreData|{{User:Lawrence735/Hiscores}}|duel|0}}
|Duelsc={{ParseHiscoreData|{{User:Lawrence735/Hiscores}}|duel|1}}
|Bhrn={{ParseHiscoreData|{{User:Lawrence735/Hiscores}}|bh|0}}
|Bhsc={{ParseHiscoreData|{{User:Lawrence735/Hiscores}}|bh|1}}
|Bhrrn={{ParseHiscoreData|{{User:Lawrence735/Hiscores}}|bhr|0}}
|Bhrsc={{ParseHiscoreData|{{User:Lawrence735/Hiscores}}|bhr|1}}
|Fogrn={{ParseHiscoreData|{{User:Lawrence735/Hiscores}}|fog|0}}
|Fogsc={{ParseHiscoreData|{{User:Lawrence735/Hiscores}}|fog|1}}
|Marn={{ParseHiscoreData|{{User:Lawrence735/Hiscores}}|ma|0}}
|Masc={{ParseHiscoreData|{{User:Lawrence735/Hiscores}}|ma|1}}

Where:

Duel is Duel Tournaments
Bh is Bounty Hunter
Bhr is Bounty Hunter Rogue
Fog is Fist of Guthix
Ma is Mobilising Armies
rn is rank
sc is score

You can put these anywhere between the {{#switch: and the }} closing the switch. Its also case-insensitive now, too.

I did a quick sweep of you page while I was there, and removed any deprecated HTML (<center> and <u> replaced with <div align="center"> and <span style="text-decoration:underline;">, respectively). You also don't need to use {{Template:thing}} if the page is is the template namespace - {{thing}} gives the same result.

Any problems, let me know Gaz Lloyd _Awesome^Events!_99s 16:53, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

Okays.

You should replace the big number for time with {{subst:REVISIONTIMESTAMP}}. If you want a time since last update thing I could do that too.

The |sep}} thing is there for if you want to use your stats outside of a template (for example, stating I have x total experience.), where you may want to make the numbers look nicer by adding commas - if you don't plan on using this outside of templates (the stats infobox or goals), let me know and I'll cleanup the code (smaller code → faster loading).

I fixed up the infobox, though unfortunatly it doesn't support minigames at the moment - I could add that to the infobox if you want, or whip up a mini-table for them. I also fixed up your combat level.

Gaz Lloyd _Awesome^Events!_99s 16:12, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

I removed the sep code, and optimised the combat level code (my original way was rather roundabout).

I'll make you a table of minigame scores when I get time, I'll let you know when it's ready. I'll also look into adding it the the infobox.

Gaz Lloyd _Awesome^Events!_99s 20:12, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Minigame table Edit

Here's your minigame table:

{| class="wikitable collapsible collapsed"
!colspan="3"|Minigames
|-
!Game
!Score
!Rank
|-
![[File:Duel tournament.png|link=Duel Arena#Tournaments|Duel Tournaments]]
| {{#ifeq:{{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|Duelsc}}|-1|''Not ranked''|{{formatnum:{{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|Duelsc}}}}}}
| {{#ifeq:{{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|Duelrn}}|-1|''Not ranked''|{{formatnum:{{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|Duelrn}}}}}}
|-
![[File:Bh icon.png|link=Bounty worlds|Bounty Hunter]]
| {{#ifeq:{{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|Bhsc}}|-1|''Not ranked''|{{formatnum:{{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|Bhsc}}}}}}
| {{#ifeq:{{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|Bhrn}}|-1|''Not ranked''|{{formatnum:{{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|Bhrn}}}}}}
|-
![[File:Bh rogue.png|link=Bounty worlds|Bounty Hunter Rogue]]
| {{#ifeq:{{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|Bhrsc}}|-1|''Not ranked''|{{formatnum:{{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|Bhrsc}}}}}}
| {{#ifeq:{{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|Bhrrn}}|-1|''Not ranked''|{{formatnum:{{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|Bhrrn}}}}}}
|-
![[File:Game icon fistofguthix1.gif|link=Fist of Guthix|Fist of Guthix]]
| {{#ifeq:{{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|Fogsc}}|-1|''Not ranked''|{{formatnum:{{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|Fogsc}}}}}}
| {{#ifeq:{{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|Fogrn}}|-1|''Not ranked''|{{formatnum:{{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|Fogrn}}}}}}
|-
![[File:Game icon mobilisingarmies1.gif|link=Mobilising Armies|Mobilising Armies]]
| {{#ifeq:{{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|Masc}}|-1|''Not ranked''|{{formatnum:{{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|Masc}}}}}}
| {{#ifeq:{{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|Marn}}|-1|''Not ranked''|{{formatnum:{{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|Marn}}}}}}
|}

And here's what it looks like:

Minigames
Game	Score	Rank
	Not ranked	Not ranked
	Not ranked	Not ranked
	Not ranked	Not ranked

	Not ranked	Not ranked

You could either put it straight onto a page, or put it on a subpage and transclude it like your infobox. The code checks for if you are ranked, and if you are not it outputs Not ranked.

Any changes, don't hesitate to ask Gaz Lloyd _Awesome^Events!_99s 20:25, October 17, 2009 (UTC)

I put a table around the two infoboxes (there are other ways but they affected other things on your userpage). You'll need to change the height of the <div> tag on your page to make the background and border work correctly.

Anytime

RE: Me beggin for help! Edit

Hey! Long time no speak lol.

I fixed the two scores plus some others - you missed some {s is all.

I used this code to display the not ranked:

{{#ifeq:{{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|skill or minigame}}|-1|''Not ranked''|{{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|skill or minigame}}}}

That will output Not ranked if the skill/minigame you input is not ranked - change the ''Not ranked'' part to something else if you wish. I added this to all current skills/mingames that are not ranked - future skills/minigames you'll have to add the code (or poke me and make me do it).

{{ParseHiscoreData}} has been updated for the new Barbarian Assault hiscores, so they can be used (I updated your page to make sure testing works, as QBot hadn't updated since the update). I added the relevant code to User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox, [[User:Lawrence735/Sandbox2]] and [[User:Lawrence735/Sandbox3]]

To access that data uses elsewhere {{User:Lawrence735/Stats/Infobox|-----}} replacing ----- with

Baa for attacker
Bad for defender
Bac for collector
Bah for healer

adding sc for score or rn for rank (like the other minigames ones).

Commas are added to numbers using {{formatnum:number}}, I added that to all the minigames hiscores.

Hope that helps! Gaz Lloyd _Awesome^Events!_99s 23:53, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Anytime.

The ifeq code can be added to either template, it doesn't really matter. I added it to that one as it was easier to see the code (the other had a lot more going on so seeing the code would be awkward).

Gaz Lloyd _Awesome^Events!_99s 15:22, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Some people might want to use it, no harm in moving it to the templatespace.

Gaz Lloyd _Awesome^Events!_99s 16:47, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

I copypasted the code from [[User:Lawrence735/Template:User stats]] to Template:User stats extended - you should write up some documentation for it here - see Template:User stats/doc for an example. Adding the ifeq code and formatnum to the template is now a good idea, too.

Gaz Lloyd _Awesome^Events!_99s 18:57, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Mmk, like so:

|<div align="center">Duel Tournaments Score|{{#if:{{{Duel Tournaments Score|}}}|{{#ifeq:{{{Duel Tournaments Score}}}|-1|''Not ranked''|{{formatnum:{{{Duel Tournaments Score}}}}}}}|----}}</div>

Gaz Lloyd _Awesome^Events!_99s 22:46, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Looks good. A few points:

Using <onlyinclude> on one part of the page and <noinclude> on the rest of the page is redundant - use one of the other (exception: when noinclude is used within onlyinclude).
<center></center> is deprecated and shouldn't be used - used <div align="center"></div> instead.

Here's the code fix:

|<div align="center">{{Skill clickpic|Prayer}}{{#if:{{{Name|}}}|{{User:Lawrence735/Sandbox1|{{{Name}}}|6}}|{{{Prayer|----}}}}}</div>

If you haven't already seen them, these three pages help me when making templates.

Gaz Lloyd _Awesome^Events!_99s 17:25, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

You'll need to remove the single square brackets from User:Lawrence735/Sandbox2, so that the file's link parameter recognises the URL (compare

with

- the second has square brackets). External links work fine, as long as you use the full address (including the http:// ).

Remember that the mathematical comparison symbols/functions (<, >, =, !=, and, or, not) will only work in the mathematical parser functions - #expr: and, more usefully, #ifexpr:. The #ifeq: and #switch: (and some others) functions are a straight up text comparison, and #if: is only a check for existence - those symbols/functions won't work as expected in them.

Gaz Lloyd _Awesome^Events!_99s 19:44, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

I added the missing link= to the template. I'm not sure what you want your code to do - isn't User:Lawrence735/Sandbox2 for adding a hs link, which was integrated into the image?

Gaz Lloyd _Awesome^Events!_99s 21:11, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Ah, okay. Like this:

|<div align="center">{{Skill clickpic|Firemaking}} {{#if:{{{Firemaking|}}}|{{#if:{{{Name|}}}|{{User:Lawrence735/Sandbox2|{{{Name}}}|12|{{{Firemaking}}}}}|{{{Firemaking}}}}}|----}}</div>

That'll output

for me (but centered in table cell of course). I made a few changes to /Sandbox2 - a third input for level and adding urlencode. Hope that's what you want,
