Title: Eve Dashboard? Post by: Viin on April 02, 2008, 09:40:38 AM Anyone know of a 3rd party eve dashboard that takes your api key and pulls in a dashboard for your character?
I'm considering making one in php, but I would rather just find one already done. :) Title: Re: Eve Dashboard? Post by: bhodi on April 02, 2008, 10:42:16 AM what is a dashboard?
Title: Re: Eve Dashboard? Post by: Hoax on April 02, 2008, 10:44:24 AM The problem with eve is, by its very nature 95% of the 3rd party stuff is kept super secret because everyone is in competition with everyone. Also Bhodi I want that damn f1-f8 script, I keep forgeting to bug nerf about it and after I ratted him out to Schild last night I bet he wont give it to me.

Hoax go get Autohotkey. Title: Re: Eve Dashboard? Post by: ajax34i on April 02, 2008, 11:34:48 AM Dashboard = the shit on the right-side of your Vista desktop: clock, weather, tickers, and a bunch of other possible little applications that can display info on the desktop, basically. Example here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Leopard_Dashboard_BIG.png). (the idea started on the Mac, apparently, and Vista copied it, then XP users copied it from Vista).
Title: Re: Eve Dashboard? Post by: lac on April 02, 2008, 11:39:27 AM That's called the sidebar I think. Anyway, here are a couple for Vista.
Skillwatch (http://gadgetdev.blogspot.com/2007/07/eve-online-skillwatch.html) Sidebar widget (http://widgetfront.com/vista-sidebar-gadgets/eve-online-sidebar-widget/) I'm sure there are more Title: Re: Eve Dashboard? Post by: Viin on April 02, 2008, 11:43:53 AM Come on ppl, a dashboard!
Like My Yahoo page, or whatever. I picture it like this (watch out, here comes the prod manager side): (http://lh4.google.com/corey.crawford/R_PbZfLXVrI/AAAAAAAACdg/k0-nUv507mg/s800/dashboard.jpg) You could add even more stuff: asset lists, corp wallet/transaction info, new members added to corp, any research/manufacturing jobs, etc. Hopefully they'll add one for contracts too, soon.

Example here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Leopard_Dashboard_BIG.png). (the idea started on the Mac, apparently, and Vista copied it, then XP users copied it from Vista). Those are widgets. The dashboard is actually the screen, which shows a number of widgets. (Though widgets can also live on the sidebar, like in Vista) Just like, say Netvibes is a dashboard which you can add widgets too.. individual components on the dashboard framework. Title: Re: Eve Dashboard? Post by: Murgos on April 02, 2008, 12:05:41 PM The eve API outputs an XML stream (yes I looked at the raw data sent to evemon, yes, I am a geek), turning that into well formed xhtml should take an afternoon. Really, all you would have to do is define a CSS for the tags.
I would be surprised if there isn't something out there already. Title: Re: Eve Dashboard? Post by: Viin on April 02, 2008, 12:07:30 PM Yah no big deal, was hoping to find something already built - but making it bring in multiple streams at once would require at least something on the backend.
