January 31, 2016

Greetings earthling,

this transmission will hopefully bring some light into the oddysee.org’s dark magic.
I decided to do a little Q&A.

Q: What services are we running where?

A: oddysee.org:

github.com:

discord.com:

Q: What is the Orgtool?

A: The Orgtool is a tool for organising tree structures items and members.

Q: Where does the Orgtool get its data from?

A: The  WordPress page serves also an Json API
You are able to conenct your RSI account with WordPress by entering your Handle:

Edit your profile

Enter your RSI Handle

Look up your RSI hande

Q: What is the difference between the old and the new Orgtool?

A: The old prototype was just a sandbox to evaluate the feasibility of the features.

  • Old (you need to be logged in)
    Users could add their ships on the WordPress profile page
    this is obsolete and moved to the new one
  • New
    migrated to Ember, Bootstrap and WP Rest API

Q: What are the features and what is the status of them?

A: The features are:

    General

  1. sync members and ship models from the RSI page

    done: We are using the RSI members page, therefore we are not syncing members who are hidden or reducted.

    Right now there is no possibility to fetch your ships from the RSI page.
    done: But you can at least fetch the ship models from the pledge store

  2. integrate RSI account into wordpress

    done: if a member wants to connect the RSI account he has to enter his handle in his user profile

Q: How do I add ships to my profile?

A: First you need to be in the Oddysee Organisation and visible on the RSI page. If you are not or you are but don’t want to show it – ask me to add you.
Then you need permissions to add ships. For the time the WordPress integration is in development, the login is temporary realised inside the Orgtool, ask me about the login if you would like to change your ships.
