Yeah, this question is about modding EQDKP, rather than the usual wow mod discussion that goes on here. This seemed to be the best place to post it.

I'm using a vanilla EQDKP install for tracking our guild's loot, attendance and history. It's pretty much ideal except for one small missing feature and I've not been able to find a mod to do it, not have I gotten any response on the eqdkp forums.

Our guild doesn't use DKP or points of any form, we simply award stuff to players based on biggest upgrade, attendance and loot history.

The problem I want to solve is: I'd like to see at a glance which item drops fall into which categories: upgrade, sidegrade, pvp/toy, etc. Ideally I'd like a new field on each item drop that I can simply fill in a short text comment and have the comment display next to the item whenever it is viewed (either on the raid page or on the player history page).

Are there any mods that do this? Or does someone know how to make such a mod and can give me pointers? I'm a programmer, but I have no php or sql experience - i.e. I'm pretty sure I can adapt something similar given a few pointers.

If you don't use points, you could use the decimal place of the points cost column as a set of flags. Messy, but relatively straightforward -

PVP - .01
Sidegrade - .02

You could probably even find it relatively easy to kludge that back out of the standings page. PHP 3 is very similar to BASIC, if you had to fit BASIC into HTML.

There is a sticky in the EQDKP forums about adding a field. Should be in the modifications section. Granted it's probably pretty old now and may not aply to 1.3.2 release. I have had no luck in getting any help about doing any type of modifications there though so I'm not sure what to say. The day someone makes a relatively stable EQDKP knock-off that is highly customizable and does zero-sum out of the box you'll find some very, very happy people.
