N3O Clan List IS WORKING now

[MNBob]

I'm trying to create a module for this site that displays the clan members, PR points and online status. Unfortunately it is too slow and is timing out. The link is currently displayed because I'm trying to get some tech help from the Dragonfly CMS forums.

I have something working reasonably well at the nerve site (http://www.nerveclan.net/index.php) based on a script I found on the skwizz site. I've tried fixed up most of the warnings it was generating save for those that I think I need to address through the java code, which I haven't bothered to learn yet. If you think it would be helpful to look at I can upload it for you.

My problem isn't with creating the script. It already exists at http://www.hanson-family.ws/aoe3/n3o/n3oclan.php
The problem is that when I try to incorporate it into this cms it takes too long to run and generates a blank page.

Bob, what if the list only showed members online instead of the entire list? Then maybe a link at the bottom to the entire list on a different page. Would that ease the load on the server so it doesn't time out?

I believe the part that makes it slow is retrieving the online status. ES allows you to query for clan members. But then for every clan member I have to re-query for the online status. It would be nice if ES had a query function that returned clan user names and online status but that doesn't currently exist.

I'll keep playing around with it to see if anything speeds it up.

Woohoo! curl to the rescue! I modified my script to use a better performing method for retrieving the clan list info from age community.
