WebDKP is an addon that allows guild leaders to easily manage the DKP for their guild. It works with a companion website [http://www.webdkp.com] where guild leaders can upload and display their guilds DKP for free. As of version 3.1 you can track raid attendance. Check the screen shots for a visual on raid attendance tracking.
The system was made to be easy to work with. In game guild leaders have access to their DKP and can easily record awards and view changes. Then, with a press of a button all this information from the addon is put online for all your guild members to see. You can then update or tweak the information via the website and view your changes back in game.
Update:2/05/2010:
Hi everyone, here is release 3.2. The big changes in this release are some in game synching changes and the start of a need/greed or mainspec/offspec system.
You can post suggestions or issues you find at the www.webdkp.com forums or my own I've created at www.dkptracker.com. I can't post files or create sticky topics in the webdkp.com so that's why I've created my own forum to help manage this.Also, for anyone experiencing issues with the primary webdkp.com site, you can host your own single guild site. The code and info is found here:

Installation Notes:
WebDKP Helper is no longer compatible with WebDKP. If you are currently using a previous version of WebDKP please synchronize to the webdkp.com before installing this new version because a few new variables have been added to the log.
General Description of WebDKP:
WebDKP is an in game addon that allows you to award and keep track of Dragon Kill Points (DKP). Currently WebDKP supports several different styles of DKP awarding systems. WebDKP only requires one person to keep track of DKP. With the release of 3.1 you can now track raid attendance in game. The version of the addon on the official www.webdkp.com website is version 2.9H. Unfortunately I do not have access to this site so wont be able to update it and the version I post will only be available on curse.com at this point.
Listing of changes from 2.9h available at www.webdkp.com
Too many to list at this pt.
Listing of changes from 3.1
1.) The guild filter checbox is now a saved variable so it remember if it's checked or un-checked..
2.) In game synching uses the addon channel and can now do the award log data
3.) The starting bid and bid time are now saved variables
4.) A main/off column has been added to the bidding window to support need/greed or mainspec/offspec
5.) I added several options in bidding options to support the main/off column. Please see the tutorial for more information.
6.) Disable all announcements is no longer enabled by default (Sorry about that)
7.) The new whisper commands are !main 5, !off 5, !greed used to support the main/off column.
8.) If using a fixed bidding system you can now monitor rolls the same time as !need so if you use rolling for offspec items you can take care of both within the same period of time.
Planned Future Additions:
1.) Waiting for suggestions.
New Slash Commands
Check the included tutorial for a full list more have been added.
For more information on the addon check out www.webdkp.com or www.dkptracker.com
1. In Game Synching completely revamped. Uses the addon channel to transfer data now.
2. In Game Synching now supports the award log.
3. The guild filter checkbox is now a saved variable so you don’t have to adjust it every time you login.
4. The Starting Bid and Bid Time values are now saved values so you won’t have to re-enter them each time you login or reload your UI, assuming you use the same values regularly.
5. Zerosum has had a few tweaks.
6. The Disable all Announcements is no longer enabled by default
7. The biding window now has a main/off column to display if the bid is for mainspec, offspec, not applicable, or roll.
8. The bidding commands !main, !off, and !greed have been added to display the info in the main/off column of the bidding window.
9. Under Options/Bidding three two options have been added. One is to monitor rolls during a bid. This lets guilds who use rolling for offspec do mainspec and offspec at the same time to speed things up.
10. An option to enable a 50% greed system was added so if someone uses !greed in a fixed bid system it automatically bids 50% of their DKP.
11. An option to disable the !bid command is available to force people to use !main or !off for bidding.
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.
