XP, Inf & Lvl Pct BORKED in Data Feeds

[Greysteele]

Here's the XML:

<experience/>
<lvl_progress>0%</lvl_progress>
<lvl_progress_num/>
<influence/>

All my toons have XP & Inf visible, in case you think that's the problem.  They show up fine on CIT's list, just hosed in the feeds.

[Steiner]

thanks. I'll do it up right now, quick easy fix.

It's just the percent without the percent sign.

Edit: DONE!

[Greysteele]

Dunno what you thought you were fixing, but it is exactly the same now. 

To be clear - There are FOUR (4) FIELDS THAT ARE NOT WORKING RIGHT:

1) <experience/>  - As you can see, there is no data and the since the tag is empty it is self-terminating (slash at the end). 

2) <lvl_progress>0%</lvl_progress> - This one isn't empty or self-terminating, but it always contains "0%" regardless of the actual value stored in the DB.

3) <lvl_progress_num/> - Same as #1: empty.

4) <influence/> - Same as #1 and #3: empty.

Steiner reads at a 5th grade level. Gotta take it down a notch

I can at least verify that it's not just Greysteel seeing this.

Case in point, in this set of data:

Code: [Select]

<char_id>461</char_id>
<name>I. Scream</name>
<status>Offline</status>
<security_level>3</security_level>
<archetype_name>Corruptor</archetype_name>
<origin_name>Technology</origin_name>
<server_name>Champion</server_name>
<primary_name>Sonic Attacks</primary_name>
<secondary_name>Sonic Resonance</secondary_name>
<game_id>2</game_id>
<last_update>2009-04-30 00:51:33</last_update>
<main_char>0</main_char>
<current_project>1</current_project>
<verified_count>44</verified_count>
<unverified_count>0</unverified_count>
<large_avatar/>
<medium_avatar/>
<small_avatar/>
<bio_text/>
<supergroup_name>ParagonWikid</supergroup_name>
<experience/>
<lvl_progress>0</lvl_progress>
<lvl_progress_num/>
<influence/>
<global_name>B Samson</global_name>
<vanity_the>The</vanity_the>
<vanity_title/>
<vanity_title2/>
<experience/>

Should reflect a value of 611.  (Character XP visibility set to "account default"; account default for XP visibility is "visible".

<lvl_progress>0</lvl_progress>

Should reflect a value of 29(%).

<lvl_progress_num/>

Should reflect a value of either 3 (current level) or 4 (next untrained level.)

<influence/>

Probably correct given my current settings.  (Character inf visibility set to "account default"; account default for inf visibility is "hidden".

That's ok, I here you're struggling to finish "My First Potty". MUAH AHAHAHA

Sorry, I'm on auto-pilot right now... have been for awhile. You post code, that's what I'm going to see...
I though the only thing missing was the progress_num value, as your snippet has led me to believe.

Ok, I went into the xml tables, and found a new way to do what I needed to do using CASE instead of 3 logical IFs inside of each other.

So now it should not only be what you're asking for to be fix, it should load a whole bunch faster.

Not sure why you thought that, since the XML I posted clearly showed empty tags for <experience/>, <lvl_progress_num/> and <influence/>. 

It should be impossible for a toon to have no XP or Inf.  And even if it were possible, those tags shouldn't be empty, they should have zeroes in them, since zero isn't the same as null (empty).

[eabrace]

Ahhh, so lvl_progress_num is the the floating point version of lvl_progress.  Gotcha. 

[Greysteele]

Not positive, but it looks like Steiner has got this one fixed now.  Thanks, S-man!

You ever hear of "reading between the lines"...? That's all I do while I'm on auto-pilot, and I'm all out of redbull to wake me up, lol.

Plenty of times I answer an issue or a question with a reply that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the issue. Guess I just need to read through it a few times and grasp the situation for what it is, and not what I want it to be, lol.

[Greysteele]

Stein-Lad, you'll never need to read between the lines with me.  I've been a software developer for going on 30 years now.  When it comes to 'puter problems I always try to say exactly what I mean, nothing more or less.   I'll go that extra mile to try and give you a precise description of the problem as it appears from my side.  The more precise my presentation is, the less time you need to spend tracking down the real problem.  So if you'll just trust me a little bit, and take the time to carefully read what I submit, then I'll try my best not to steer you wrong.

BTW - As of this moment, I believe every part of CIT is working to my satisfaction, which hasn't happened in a while.  Congrats to all of the team!

I wish to apologize to everyone for this comment.  Obviously I was tempting fate and I am the cause of the new Glycerine/HS problem...

LOL

[Steiner]

What's up with Glyc?

[Tazhyngarth]

LOL!

I swear we Updated Gly from it's most recent breakdown due to the Game Patch.  What could possible be wrong now?!?!

This make us happy .

These two now don't match up

LOL!


Even though I don't really work on anything anymore, I take full credit for the site being much better these days!


I hope SaintNicster and Steiner don't mind

[Steiner]

... I don't... been that way since I joined. LOL!
