Changelog

This site is the passion project of Herà/Taitrina/Selrena (or whatever alt I'm playing these days). The wordpress part runs off a completely custom theme (handcoded), which is how it connects seamlessly with the members area, which is completely handcoded. Forgive me if I elaborate on what that means. Handcoded here means no IDE, no libraries, currently only one plugin (Quill). Just me, Notepad++, and hundreds and hundreds of hours of looking stuff up and trial and error. Technically I have a diploma of Higher Education in Computer Science but I never did anything remotely this complex back then. Basically this site is a real labour of love.

If you'd like to make my week, if you found this site useful or fun, maybe you could tell me about it?

This whole 'members only' section exists for YOU. Everything has been developed to try and make your guild experience better. This page will track the 'patches' when the site is updated, note any known issues and also list what's coming soon.

Want to see a feature added? Let me know.


In January 2026, when I put most of this site's beta build together, there was a fair bit of drama in WoW's addon community about the origins of code. Now, this site is not an addon, and it is definitely not behind a paywall, so the issues don't really apply, but me being me I decided on full transparency anyway.

The map part of the housing pages came from here. I made it: pull data from a database (which is how you guys can update it), added the ability to see a custom image, added the integration with the guestbook etc. I also manually mapped the plot positions for Razorwind Shores. However, I didn't write the actual 'map' part of it, for how it plots the positions on the map.

Alertify is used for the green and red error/success messages. The code for the forum and site discord notifications came from here and here. The basic file structure for the wordpress theme (so not the styling or the functionality) came from here.

I made extensive use of the tutorial sites W3Schools and Geeks for Geeks, and references like CSSTricks and obviously the official documentation for both PHP and Wordpress.

There will also be snippets here and there, mostly of JavaScript, that came from a myriad of StackOverflow posts. Thus donated to the community, as they were posted publicly in response to a "how do I?" post, (which is how I found it, searching "how do I?").

I would never claim anything was mine if it wasn't, and I certainly don't claim to know what I am doing. If I have forgotten a reference it's because I forgot, not because I am unwilling to give credit. As far as I know everything else was written by me, and with far more enthusiasm than skill. I am not a professional. I did go to school for a hot minute for web programming, but that was 15 years ago. The only help that old experience has been, is maybe helping me word my "how do I?" web searches better.

No AI was used at any point, not even search assist (which google is now forcing into every damn page grrr), which is why I now don't use google. (I loathe AI with the fire of a thousand suns). All mistakes and bad code are 100% mine :)


25/08/26 – Another Event Calendar Update

Probably the last iteration on the event calendar for a while as it would be nice to build out other site features. Hopefully this now has most of the quality of life that we need. As always if you have any feedback then please let me know! I’m building all of this for you guys, so it helps to know what you want 🙂

Features

Event Calendar

  • Added a note to the event details page explaining that it’s not a roster, it’s an open-signup where anyone can indicate their intention to attend
  • Tactics are now spun off into their own section under the event details, where you can toggle the individual bosses/instances so you don’t have to face the big wall of text all at once
  • All upcoming event details pages now have an “Add to Calendar” button, which has a number of options e.g. Apple, Google, Yahoo etc. [I only have access to iOS calendar so I’m limited in how I can test this, so please let me know if it doesn’t work how you’d expect.]

Bug Fixes

  • When not logged in, pure DPS classes can actually now sign up to events.
  • Desired key level is now displaying properly if specified
  • The news page is now no longer repeating the last of the ‘featured 8’ at the top of the archive list
  • Characters with a special character as the first letter of their name, are no longer kicking back errors when trying to add them/guest sign-ups on events.
  • All past endeavour change days have returned to the calendar, rather than only the upcoming one being visible

11/08/26 – Baseline Improvements to the Event Calendar

I had hoped this would be a far more substantial update, but this is what I have managed to complete for the start of season two. Everything always takes me substantially longer than I think it will. More improvements will come later.

Features

Event Calendar

  • Completely recoded sign-up form. You can now offer to flex into roles your main class can’t do, and list the alt you’d switch to for it [Also hopefully 100% less buggy /cough]
  • Loads of backend changes to make things better/easier. Event creation has been rebuilt from the ground up to give leaders total granular control over their event requirements and what info is displayed

Little Tweaks

  • Added a link on the neighbourhood page, to let me know if the map isn’t up to date [I really wish blizz would activate the neighbourhood API /sigh]

Bug Fixes

  • The event calendar should no longer falsely claim you haven’t set a timezone, when you have
  • Polls have decided to no longer throw a fit when you aren’t logged in
  • Rejoice! The favicon is no longer MIA.
  • The character control buttons should now work again on the second page of the Characters UserCP
