Roster Links

This script is specifically for "Special Interest (None)" type guilds. They usually have members from many different games and the roster page is a little different. When you add a character to the roster, you can "Add a Character" which allows you to enter the character name and a "Home Page URL"



This results in a "link" that will take you to that site.



This script enables you to enter several links into the box above (when you add a character) which is then coverted into clickable icons.



Sadly, the input box is limited to 125 characters but you could possibly (I haven't tested this) add more using the "Characters & Settings" from the top bar, clicking the "Edit" button next to the name, then clicking on "Game Stats". You'll see the "Home Page URL" box again. Add or modify your links here.

The Code - Add this to a Free Form Text/HTML box on your Roster page

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
/********************************
This script replaces Home Page URL "link" in the Special Interest (none) type of guild roster

Using the Code

• You can replace the column header "Home Page URL" with whatever you want by modifying the text in red.
  
  
• To make the links work, just add the URLs separated by a comma. I used "Kidd Kraddick" who is a radio celebrity as an example.
  
  http://www.myspace.com/kiddkraddick,http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=48129544153,http://twitter.com/KiddKraddick
  
  Notice there are no spaces and I used the full URL for each site. You may have to extract out this shorter versions of the links as they can get quite long.
  
  
• If you start to run out of space, I've included a way to abbreviate the above links. So far it only works with myspace, facebook and twitter. I'll add more if you guys just tell me which others ones to add.
  
  

  Full Link	Abbreviated Link
  http://www.myspace.com/kiddkraddick	ms:kiddkraddick
  http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=48129544153	fb:48129544153
  http://twitter.com/KiddKraddick	tw:KiddKraddick

  
  So an abbreviated version of the line above (with full URLs) would be:
  
  ms:kiddkraddick,fb:48129544153,tw:KiddKraddick
  
  and of course you can mix and match the URLs...

This is very Nice.
