I finally got around to implementing options that allows LOTRoster (and RMSA as well once I get the chance) to have fields allowing icons to be shown as either Text, Icons, or Text+Icons. Here's a sample showing fields set as "Icon only" in the current development version of LOTRoster (in addition to custom rank names):
I'm hoping to have a new LOTRoster version available in a near future, after which I'll be implementing the same features in RMSA.

Lotro roster european version
hi there as you may know the european servers on lord of the rings do not have the feeds like the america servers have so i was wondering is it possible just to make a version of lotro roster that does not pull information from feeds but instead make it so that web site admin's can add characters to it manly ie. into some sort of msqul data base.
hope you can do this as the european clan are crying out for something like this and i hope you see this. i'll check back for any response or you can e-mail me at genuine1@blueyonder.co.uk
thanx in advance for any input
Manual roster entry
This would require quite a lot of work, as I would have to implement a whole web interface to interface with the roster, allowing to add, remove or edit entries. This would make the code too complex I'm afraid, and very few persons would actually use it (i.e. only people on European servers and with small guilds) What you could do however is create a basic XML file with your roster data, and have LOTRoster parse your local file instead of polling from data.lotro.com. The basic roster info is fairly easy to enter in XML. Here's an example guild which contains two members:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<apiresponse>
<guild name="Greylords" world="Gladden" theme="Mixed Kinship Theme" memberCount="2"><characters>
<character name="Baranthir" level="39" class="Guardian" race="Race of Man" rank="Officer"/>
<character name="Joe" level="57" class="Guardian" race="Race of Man" rank="Officer"/>
</characters></guild></apiresponse>
Otherwise, you could also use something like phpMyAdmin to manually enter/edit roster entries in your database.
Drupal Auth ?
I see a post below mentioning that you moved your site to Drupal, but I see no Drupal auth integration LOTRoster. Is there a plan to do this? Drupal is well documented in this area and represents a large chunk of the CMS install base.
Re: Drupal auth
In all honesty, the idea never really crossed my mind. I thought people mostly used forum authentication (like phpBB/SMF/vBulletin) combined with a Drupal site, but I can definitely take a look at it, depending on how Drupal deals with its authentication cookie.
That would be awesome, I am
That would be awesome, I am in the midst of putting together a Drupal based LoTRO site and I would really like to use LOTRoster and allow character claiming. I was going to attempt some light integration between Drupal, CCK and node profiles to see what I can do.
Drupal 6.x authentication
Implemented. Will be included with the 1.2.0 release.
