Requirements

• Ascension WoW
• World of Warcraft client version 3.3.5a
• Interface version 30300
• A guild membership for roster features

Installation

1. Download or clone this repository.
2. Copy the Guild-View-Extended folder into Interface/AddOns/.
3. Confirm the final path is Interface/AddOns/Guild-View-Extended/Guild-View-Extended.toc.
4. Restart the client or reload the UI.

Commands

• /gve or /guildview opens the extended guild view.
• /gve log opens the copyable diagnostic log.

Member actions and live updates

• Left-click a guild member to open the existing member detail window. The Invite GRP button directly above Remove sends an immediate group invitation. It is disabled for the player's own character.
• Right-click the player's own character in the roster and choose Gilde verlassen or Leave Guild. A confirmation dialog must be accepted before GuildLeave() is called.
• While Guild View Extended is visible, it requests the complete roster every five seconds. The existing GUILD_ROSTER_UPDATE path then refreshes members, public notes, officer notes, filters, counts, and an open member detail window. Offline members remain enabled.

Last Online window

For guild leaders and officers, the Last Online window uses a wider, three-column layout for character name, guild rank, and last-online time. The member search updates immediately while typing and is combined with the existing minimum-offline-duration filter. Clear resets only the member search; Reset resets only the duration filter. The result count shows the number of matches alongside the complete roster size.

Changing a search or time filter returns the list to its first row. Escape closes the window even while the search field has keyboard focus. Opening the window requests fresh roster data, including offline members.

Version 1.1.2 identifies itself in the addon list and in the login chat message. If the message still shows an older version (or no version), the game is loading a different addon copy. Install the current release ZIP into the active client's Interface/AddOns/ directory and use /reload before testing.

CSV export

1. Open Guild View Extended with /gve or the normal guild shortcut.
2. Click CSV exportieren on a German client or Export CSV on another client. The button is at the top of the guild-log panel on the right.
3. If the complete roster is not ready yet, the addon requests it and waits for GUILD_ROSTER_UPDATE. Offline members are included.
4. In the export window, press Ctrl+C; the complete text is already selected.
5. Open the Raid Helper web interface, select its character-name CSV import, paste the copied text (or save it as a UTF-8 .csv file), and start the import. Map the character_name and guild_rank headers if the interface asks for column assignments.

The export contains exactly two columns named character_name and guild_rank. It does not contain level, class, zone, online state, public notes, or officer notes. Names are exported without realm suffixes, deduplicated case-insensitively, and sorted deterministically. The guild rank from the first retained name entry stays paired with that character. Both columns use standard CSV escaping. No HTTP request or automatic clipboard access is used, and no export data is stored in GVEConfig.

Example:

character_name,guild_rank
Arthas,Guild Master
Jaina,Raider
Thrall,Officer

Backup and rollback

The pre-export source state is stored in Guild-View-Extended-pre-csv-20260728-144106.zip in this addon directory. Its SHA-256 is 9566F98931959ABBD4D9DCF280F8258B5601EF8CDD38A5F8C03AD670CDA74BEA.

To roll back, close World of Warcraft, move the current addon directory to a safe temporary name, extract the archive into Interface/AddOns/, and verify that the resulting path is Interface/AddOns/Guild-View-Extended/Guild-View-Extended.toc. The archive contains the complete pre-change directory, including its Git metadata.

An additional snapshot from immediately before the member-action and live refresh changes is stored as Guild-View-Extended-pre-guild-actions-20260728-145630.zip with SHA-256 91120A28F5D3DF4F76134487156286392374E8E5D7C05EEC81AE860EBB467843.

The published 1.1.0 state immediately before the two-column CSV correction is stored as Guild-View-Extended-pre-1.1.1-20260728-151729.zip with SHA-256 01C5EA4DB3FDA3D32D1EE287502E4879EF692C45175CFF03EC3F095301DF7502.

Development tests

From the addon directory, run lua tests/csv_export_test.lua with a Lua 5.1-compatible runtime. The test loads the production addon source with small WoW API stubs and verifies empty, single-member, Unicode, escaping, deduplication, sorting, 5,000/5,001-member, dialog, Escape, offline-roster, and asynchronous event cases. It also verifies group invitations, the confirmed guild-leave action, and the automatic roster refresh timer.

Compatibility notes

The addon is designed specifically for Ascension's 3.3.5a client and relies on Blizzard guild-frame globals available in that environment. It replaces the global guild/friends toggle behavior, so compatibility with other addons that replace the same interface should be tested. The current interface and diagnostics contain a mixture of German and client-localized text.

Privacy

The repository contains addon source only. Do not publish files from WTF/Account/.../SavedVariables, because those files may contain account, character, or guild-specific data.
