I have a section on my website for my city. Currently it only displays only a capture of the xml stats
http://www.thehelper.net/forums/city.php
Are there any scripts that are available in the public domain that would help me get a view similar to some of the peoples signatures on the site except instead of just population I want all the factors like an XML covering the last 5 days in a table format. Anybody have anything like that already I can use as a template. I will adapt it to vbulletin and make the code available to your or as freeware. It should be pretty easy to release a small website add-in to display your weekly stats and possibly a graph of those stats (could expand it) as a free website plug-in.
I am going to do this even if I have to write it myself. My Admin already captures the xml stats, saves them and displays on a vbulletin site already. I appreciate any help you guys can give. Please post in this forum, no PMs or emails please.

Don't have this, buy if you want to get the XML stats of last 5 days, you must make a CRON that will launch a script that record XML with the date in a database, you don't need more

No, there isn't. But all stats you need are on miniville.info or on mmc.urs.tw, no ?

yes yes I don't want the stat but I would like to have more log for the bulletin...
because it can contains a limited number of entries so if you don't look after a while you lose the info..

oh ok, so no, don't exist, but you can make a little script that read the source code of your city, extract bulletins news and save it in a database for exemple, that's possible

oops - did not know that our MyMiniCity City Simulator
http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showpost.php?p=751836&postcount=275
and city display engine
http://www.thehelper.net/forums/city.php
are thehelper.net exclusives
I will tell you this though. It would be very easy to do what you are trying to do. Every hour you check the city and save all the values in the xml file and then you just have a page that reports it.
I dont have a deal on disk space on my server or I would do it but it is obvious the Motion Twin peeps are missing out on some money not offering tracking and linking services like this. Those kind of value added services are perfect for the official company to sell and make money on while free stuff like ours just costs us. Total missed opportunity imho by the developers. All my stuff will always be free but I would not compete if there was a similar pay service offered by the developer.

Hehe it's funny... I have been slowly working on making my own little tracking utility for myself so I can track a bunch of cities... Sadly I was only making it for personal use so it is only a windows exe on a local database...
