Gow July - August Updates

Hello everyone 👋 Since there wasn't many new features to announce recently I delayed this post a little bit 😁 Blizzard services are messed up over a month and I did my best to mitigate the issue. These enhancements and modifications took a lot of my time.

Other than that, here you can view the combined developments completed during last 2 months.

EVENT PLANNING

⭕ On Discord bot, team events will have a direct initial attendance if the player has only one character on that specific team.

⭕ Team events now have a toggle for forcing team character spec. When this feature is enabled, players cannot set their spec on site and Discord bot while saving attendance. Managers can still alter specs if needed.

⭕ Guildie events with rank filtration now has an option to hide the displayed rank names.

⭕ Some bug fixes have been done while saving and validating events (both recurring and upcoming) on management.

⭕ Now you can add a secondary team to team based events. This way you can set double team rosters as eligible on upcoming events.

⭕ Now attendance summary displays attending, tentative and not attending character counts.

⭕ Event managers can see pending attendances.

⭕ Tentative attendances are being shown separately on roster view.

⭕ You can disable deletion of inactive events on Discord.

⭕ Discord event messages now have a new compact mode which hides attendance details but only shows attending and tentative numbers.

TEAMS

⭕ Team members can now be set as trial. Members who are on trial will be shown inside a different panel on team detail. 

⭕ Melee and Ranged dps are now being shown separately on teams and upcoming events.

GUILD LOGS

⭕ Logs section on site and discord webhooks now show WCL, WowAnalyzer & Wipefest links. Title is also being stored and displayed instead of zone name.

⭕ You can use bot for guild logs. With this way bot will be able to update log messages unlike webhooks.

⭕ WCL API v2 is implemented which provides much more integrations and data. With this development logs now show fight breakdowns on site and Discord bot.

⭕ You can bind your teams and events with logs via WCL report tags. If you already have tags on your reports, visit management and set matching 'guild logs tag' on teams, recurring events or upcoming events for logs to be shown on team detail and upcoming events.

SERVICE INFRASTRUCTURE ENHANCEMENTS

⭕ Tokenization infrastructure have been improved.

⭕ Progress service has been optimized and I'm now expecting much faster refresh rates, especially about WCL logs.

⭕ A lot of back-end packages are updated which needed some modifications on code base.

⭕ I've developed selection component from ground up by having a better mobile experience mindset. All selections on site now show a better UI on mobile. I also added some more functionalities to this component and got rid of layout problems on all form factors. This wasn't an easy task so it's worth mentioning here 😁

CUSTOM DOMAINS

⭕ Now GoW provides a full fledged custom domain setup process. Previously it was a manual process which needed a direct support from me. It wasn't on the same service quality with other aspects of the project so I've decided to write a brand new pipeline for custom domains.

Now you can bind your domain easily with guidance and settings. This was a tremendous work because it needed many service implementations. In the end I'm happy with the result and hope you like this development also.

This month I'll continue enhancing custom domains a little more. There's still room for more developments. Then I've some plans for more integrations 😁

Hope you enjoy these developments. On Discord we are brain storming on all the aspects of the project so feel free to join if you haven't already 👋 https://discord.gg/VfGJnCS

Thank you everyone for your support, enjoy & have fun 🥳🥳🥳
