Data Link Feature List & FAQ

[Hamma]

This thread is for consolidated feedback on our PlanetSide 2 Data Link!

Basic FAQ:

Q.) How do I create a signature?

A.) First you must claim your PlanetSide 2 Character. Search for your character on the top right search box or click here. Once you find your character click the "Claim Character" button at the top right of the stats page.

Q.) My character isn't found, why?

A.) From time to time there are data issues directly from SOE. Feel free to post if your character isn't found.

Q.) How does this differ from the players site?

A.) The data feeds are from the same location.

Q.) Can I find my Outfit?

A.) YES! Search for your outfit on the top right or click here and view a full sortable roster and leaderboard.

Signature Examples:

We are also on the lookout for new templates! In the future we will allow users to add their own templates, right now however they require an admin to add them. Click here to learn about the requirements.

Outfit Data Link

Last week we released Outfit Pages on our PlanetSide 2 Data Link. This week we have stepped it up a notch adding some customizations to those pages and re-releasing our classic Outfit Database feature!

The full Outfit Data Link feature list includes:

• Customizable Outfit Page Edit your Logo and Description!
  • Outfit Leaders will be presented with a "Create Social Group" button (as shown here
  • Once claimed the leader will have the option to invite members to their group and edit their description and logo!
  • To edit the description and logo click "Edit Group" at the bottom of your social group page
• Sortable member list and leaderboard!
• List of claimed characters on PSU!
• Total characters, total characters online, percentage online, percentage active in last 7 days and 30 days, average kills and deaths and more!
• Export your Roster to CSV! Click the export roster link on your outfit page.
• Outfit Leaderboard! Based on average XP only Outfits viewed on PSU are listed.
• Embed your Outfit's Roster on any website! Click the "Widgets" tab on your Outfit Page. Example
• Mark your Outfit as recruiting! Outfit Leaders can update their recruiting status on their Outfit Pages

Leaders who claim their Outfit's will also be auto tweeted out over @psucom_feed on Twitter!

Any chance you could allow the top two tiers of the outfit access to this stuff? we have a bunch of us in charge of our outfit and the player with the actual lead is afk

[Hamma]

The only way for us to know the leader right now is from the API and since they allow multiple people at the "leader" rank and lots of permissions at the ranks under there is no easy way to do this other than building in a system for delegation.

[AuntLou]

Can you have multiple leaders show on PSU? If not can we change who is the current one?

[HiroshiChugi]

If anything, I'll just claim my Leader's character, make the page, and release the claim. Since I'm the co-leader that is.

[Hamma]

All leader ranks should be able to claim Outfits now, let us know if you run into issues.

Also member listing now with Online Status and Sortable!

[AuntLou]

Should all leaders be able to edit the page? I can't edit mine(The Forty Deuce), it says I don't have permission.

[Ghryphen]

All leaders have an opportunity to create the page, but once it is created it is limited to the person who created it, or they can pass on ownership.

I'll see if I can change that, but at the moment it is just utilizing the stock forum social group permissions with no backwards integration into the PS2 API.

[Hamma]

More improvements to the outfit page from Gryphon including export roster to CSV file for import into Excel and user activity stats!

[Changes]

I am unable to update my outfits social page and picture although I am leader and should have rights. Can't figure out why it is not working.

[Hamma]

Which Outfit?

[Hamma]

You will want to edit the description and such here:

http://www.planetside-universe.com/g...it&groupid=117

You can also do the logo there.

[Changes]

Outfit: Total Recoil
Says that I don't have permission even though I created the page

Changes, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Give it a try now
