I’m creating my first wordpress plugin. It started as a plugin I could use for my Team Fortress 2 clan Gathering of Tweakers 3. But I decided to simplify it a bit and make it more general; a roster page for anything involving a team. Be it a roster page for your Guild Wars guild or for your Team Fortress 2 clan. Plans for the future involve support for multiple teams, grabbing avatars from steam and quite possibly other sites, wow armoury support, aion site support. Though I’m not sure about the later two, this one is meant to be quite generic and implementing something like that in an all-round plugin might be a bit too much, especially since there are probably plugins out there that already do that.

Anyway all those things are beyond what I can do with php at the moment, as this is my first php creation ever.

Update march 31st 2011: Well this project has been sitting there doing nothing for long enough. I got stuck at some point and moved on to other unfinished projects. However, reactions on my blog post concerning this plugin and a recent tweet from @microwaver made me realise that I’m not the only one out there in search of a decent roster plugin. I’ve decided to put my google skills to good use and resume the project.

This is how far (and that’s probably the most stretched the word ‘far’ has ever been used) I am at the moment.
