My guild have stoped raiding, so my work with this addon too.
Sorry,**
Killer Monkeys - Attendance is an Addon that use the Built-in Wotlk Wow Calendar, to manage and generate the Guild Members Attendance.
==== HISTORY ====
Since Patch 3.0.2 the game have a built-in calendar feature. My guild has used phpRaid on our website to manage the raid events and generate the attendance.
We agreed that using the in-game calendar the officers work will be more easy, so we decide to use the calendar to since patch 3.0.2
The Calendar have 6 Flags on Inivite Status that we can use:
- Invited (members invited for the raid)
- Accepted (Members invited who accepted the event)
- Declined (Members invited who declined the event)
- Confirmed (Members who accepted the event and show up)
- Standby (Members who accepted but stay at replace)
- Out (Memers that accepted and do not show up, or members who dont declined or accepted the event)
So we can set some points for each flag, like 1 point to Confirmed and 0.5 point to Standby and -1 to out (negative point).
In the end the Addon will get the flag for each event and make the attendance using the formula
attendance = (((confirmed * factor_confirmed) + (standby * factor_standby) + (declined * factor_declined) + (out * factor_out)) * 100) / NUMBER_OF_EVENTS
====FEATURES=====
- Make the attendance number using calendar data.
- Dont need to sicronize with another member since the calendar is buil-in.
- Can choose the week days that count attendance (ex: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday)
- Can ignore some events.
- Set the months to count attendance (1 default, 30 days).
- Set the flag values for your guild (Confirmed = 1 or 2 you choose).
- Auto update flags using the actual raid group. (Raid Check)
- Can choose the type of event that count attendance (Nax10man, Nax25man).
==== TODO =====
- Can update the event direct from the addon, not from Calendar.
- Purge button.
- Report Event and Player Att Details (TEXT and BBCODE, for Forums).
=== Know issues ====
- When fresh install to get the calendar data first you need to open the game calendar.
- To complete the data from an event you need to open the event from calendar, couse the Function OpenCalendarEvent is not working, wating blizz fix it.
- Last night i get an UI error when trying to update the calendar using the raid tab, but dunno why, investigating.
=== ENGRISH ====
My english is not that good to make a good explain here, sorry about that.

Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.
