Lost... This script doesn't work or create errors...

Mooid · 10-07-07, 12:25 AM

All this is supposed to do is execute an LUA file from the webserver that simply says:

dkp = 300;

After that it should update every 30 seconds and input that text into the simpleHTML field inside the XML layer, but it does nothing. I added the chat messages to see if it was even working and it doesn't even say anything in the chat window... Any help would be great

I don't really know much about making addons or LUA work, I am just a lowly PHP developer who normally does server-side applications lol

My XML

Code:

And my LUA

Code:

dkp = 0;
function RefreshDKP()
    playername = UnitName("player");
    remotedkp = "http://www.nocturnalsymphony.com/test/addondkp.php?p=" .. playername;
    dofile(remotedkp);
    DKPreadout:SetText("You have " .. dkp .. " DKP");
    DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("DKP Refreshed");
    Chronos.schedule(30,RefreshDKP);
end

function InitDKP()
    playername = UnitName("player");
    DKPreadout:SetText("Loading DKP for " .. playername);
    DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Loading DKP for " .. playername);
end

Chronos.afterInit(RefreshDKP);

Code:

remotedkp = "http://www.nocturnalsymphony.com/test/addondkp.php?p=" .. playername;

You cannot access a web document from within the game client.

Code:

dofile(remotedkp);

The "dofile()" function is not part of the WoW API, it is a custom function of the WoWbench program to run ready-made LUA scripts in a WoW enviornment.
