Enjoy!

NOTE: This is a beta release. It might not work. It might not track anything. If your current process is working for you and you couldn't stand to have a raid import wrong or give us useful info on how to fix the issue DO NOT run this Beta. However, it is the latest and greatest in our Raid Tracking and DKPmon functionality and the reports from the closed Beta are that it's working great.
Greetings Everyone,
After running a closed Beta for two weeks and stamping out the last of the serious bugs we are ready for an open Beta of our DKPmon -> Raid Tracker integration functionality.
This new mod set allows you to configure DKPmon to log DKPmon events to the Guild Launch Raid Tracker. This allows you to have full in-game DKP access while also logging Boss Kills and Item Awards into the Raid Tracker for import onto your site.
You can download the mod set here:
http://files1.guildlaunch.net/guild/library/68936/DKPMonRaidTrackerIntegration-RC4_ModCompilation.zip
A video covering configuration is here:
http://support.guildlaunch.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=8400411
A general DKPmon -> Raid Tracker Howto is here:
http://support.guildlaunch.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2276686&gid=535
Other Videos and FAQs about the DKPmon usage and Raid Tracker usage can be found in this forum.
This is a Beta and we appeciate your feundefinededback.

RC4 is now available with a fix for an instance where the item value window from Raid Tracker would error when in logging mode.

I love the concept of this but am hitting a roadblock....
The DKP system we use in guild has raiders bidding on an item in an auction style and the winning amount bid distributed to the raid (setting the event to zero sum in rapid raid)...
However (if I'm blind please forgive me) I can't see an auction style option for dkpmon.... the bidding requires an amount to be set first before bidding is opened and that can't be changed afterwards.... with CTRT the amount spent is not asked until the item is looted.
Is this something that is in the pipeline (if I'm not blind)?
Meantime I'm using dkpmon so raiders can see the dkp table in game (if they have bidder), the in game dkp mod so they can /w me for dkp if they don't have bidder and CTRT for the actual tracking....
Getting this all together would be rather nice ;)

DKPmon supports a module system to extend the base DKP type which is fixed DKP. You actually run additional mods for EPGP, ZeroSum DKP and in your case what they call "BossAuction". We have EPGP and ZeroSum here:
http://glmods.guildlaunch.com/gwiki/index.php?page_name=DKPMon_(GL_Mod)
Those run in addition to the integration pack. Raiders ONLY need to run the BIDDER mods. I am working on fixing up the BossAuction mod for WoTLK. I will post it before the end of the day unless I run into some major issue.

Bidder_BossAuction and DKPmon_BossAuction are now on the page here:
http://glmods.guildlaunch.com/gwiki/index.php?page_name=DKPMon_%28GL_Mod%29&gid=68936&page_id=4122
These modules are ran *along with* the core DKPmon and Bidder modules and provide the Auction functionality.
I've posted them as Beta status. I've run some testing with them, but we didn't write them I just udpated and reposted them since they are hard to find for download.

We'll definitely fix them. Assuming someone elses code is not always the easiest thing to do, but BossAuction style DKP is common enough that taking it under our wing is worth it.
The fact that the code source is outside of us may adjust the relative priority, but if we get good bug reports and helpful users then we can resolve most issues that crop up in what is essentially a known to be functional Addon pretty quickly. I've already seen a few things I would "fix" in BossAuction just while testing it before I posted it. I'm not going to play the "not invented here" game. I wouldn't post it our members if I wasn't willing to crack it open and work on it to make it work better for our members.

Any chance you guys will be able to update the Bidder_BossAuction part for GL in case it has bugs if the main dev of it is not?

I notice that the walk through talks about awarding EP and GP during the raid using this addon combination.
I was curious if it was possibly just to have DKPMon handle loot in game (costs of item in game including Need/Greed costs), have them inserted into raid tracker.
Then have Raid tracker handle attendance/bosskills?
So while in game, DKPmon would only update the GP of players and not EP
So I would still export my CTRT string after the raid and export it to our website, and then update the GP (from DKPMON) and the EP from Raidtracker events.
Hope that makes sense. Thanks!

Yes. You can do this. However, in logging mode the Raid Tracker will not automatically record a boss kill. Something has to tell it to record an event. If you are using the Award window then it does it. If you aren't, as you are describing then when a boss dies you have to issue the command "/rt addevent" or use the option on the minimap icon. This will record the bosskill into the Raid Tracker and you can assign the value right there or leave it blank and let the site do it from the default value.
We set it up this way specifically to support guilds who don't adjust EP during the raid. I cover this in a video I'm working on right now and should have posted soon hopefully.

Awesome... I have a couple questions about that
So to confirm, I would either need to do a
"/rt addevent" to add the event via raid tracker...
Or
Is this minimap icon for raidtracker? Or DKPmon?
Is there a way to make it automatically add the boss event?
When I add this event, will it automatically title the event for the boss we killed?
I find the more things I have to do while we are speed pulling the more likely I will make mistakes... So I'm trying to automate it as much as possible.

The add event option is on the new Mini-Map icon for the Raid Tracker.
In logging mode we don't track Boss Kills automatically. We might be able to make a mode in the next version where you select "get items from DKPmon & automatically track bosses" currently in logging mode which is what makes the integration with DKPmon work it turns off all Raid Tracker automatic tracking.
We'll grow the features set for sure, but currently you have to "do something" to get the boss kill tracked. For most users they will already be using the DKPmon award window so they don't have to do anything extra. If you aren't tracking Boss Kill DKP during the raid then you'll have to use the command to record the kill currently.
It will automatically prefill the last boss that Raid Tracker observed dying. It will give you a popup with the boss prefilled so you can correct it if there is any issue and enter a DKP value. you can just hit 'save' if everything is good to go.

I'm fairly new to the raid tracker, i've watched all the how-to videos and was wondering if when i have imported the dkp string to the website, is it possible for it to show only rare+ items on the homepage in a widget? and not all the trash and greens? I still want it to track all of these, but only show rare+ items on thw widget
Can i configure it to be like this?
Thanks in advance, Kyle.
