[ezStats2] Linking Battlelog Platoon memberlist

[Xtreme2Fear]

Hey guys,

I couldn't find anything about this by searching, so I figured it'd ask it.
Is there a way to retrieve a platoon memberlist from Battlelog (say every night) and use that list in ezStats for the leaderboard? I installed ezStats, but I'm not going to input all our 150+ members into it AND remove the ones being kicked etc..

Thanks in advance!

Hi Xtreme2Fear!

It is a great idea, to sync your platoon with your leaderboard at ezStats. But therefor you need access to the list of players of a platoon, and I don't know any possibility for this.

But perhaps 1April knows a way. Regards, ezzemm

Thanks for responding, I do hope there's a way of syncing these two great services. For now I had my clan register on the website, and create a memberlist out of that. Wanted to add the BF3Stats API to it, to read out the stats individualy. Ended up being way to much work for me though

Hope 1April can help me!

Ok so I found a website that is retrieving platoon stats, but I want to use ezStats with it.
Here's the site: (with one of ours platoon preset)
http://www.bf3log.com/en/360/Platoon...talion/228175#

@ezzemm: Is it possible for ezStats to have a function to retrieve those names and mass import those into my list?

Cheers!

I've sent a mail to the programmer of this site. Lets see if I get an answer

[Xtreme2Fear]

Any news on this? I'd like to hear some of BF3stats developers aswell, maybe ya'll know a better way?

To get all Members of a Platoon as JSON you need to do this:

GET http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3...5/listmembers/

2832655391301375615 is the Platoon ID, you get this from the URL of you platoon.
And you need to send the HTTP Header:
X-Json: 1

Then you get a bunch of JSON which contains all Members.

Hi 1April!

Thank you for your information. I tried this:

    $c=curl_init('http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/platoon/2832655391301375615/listmembers/');
    curl_setopt($c,CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,array('X-Json:1'));
    $result = json_decode(curl_exec($c));
    curl_close($c);
    print_r($result); 

But I got HTML-code instead of JSON-code. What have I done wrong?

Sorry, the header was wrong.

This would be the right one:
X-AjaxNavigation: 1

I build an PHP script to pull the members:
battlelog_query.php.txt

Note:
level: 1 is an applying member
level: 4 is a normal member
level: 128 is a leader
level: 256 is the founder

Looks like progress! Thanks to both of ya for your efforts! Hoping we can get a platoon based leaderboard going soon!

There's 1 minor problem with the script (or actually the data available); there's no clantag attached to the persona.

However I think it's safe enough to use the platoon tag instead, since we're retrieving the platoon members afterall.


Here's my "version":

$response = array(); // array retrieved after call
$memberLevels = array(
    0 => 'not member',
    1 => 'join waiting',
    2 => 'invited',
    4 => 'member',
    128 => 'admin',
    256 => 'creator'
);
$data = array();

$members = $response['context']['listMembers'];
$platoon = $response['context']['platoon'];
foreach( $members as $member ):
    $data[] = array(
        'id' => $member['persona']['personaId'],
        'name' => $member['persona']['personaName'],
        'clantag' => $member['persona']['clanTag'], // is always empty
        'level' => $member['membershipLevel'],
        'type' => $memberLevels[ $member['membershipLevel'] ],
        'online' => $member['user']['presence']['isOnline'],
        'playing' => $member['user']['presence']['isPlaying'],
        'platoon' => $platoon['name'],
        'tag' => $platoon['tag']
    );
endforeach;

Hi!

I assume that I can realize that in version 0.51 of ezStats. Stay tuned

[Xtreme2Fear]

Looking forward to it, our members are eager to see what the results are from this!
One more thing, as we have multiple platoons, is it possible to give all these platoons a different leaderboard?
Like have a dropdown menu or so for different leaderboards inside the administration area.

Cheers!

In future, you can syncronize your leaderboard with multiple platoons. If you want a different leaderboard for every platoon, then the easiest way is to install ezStats multiple times. Therefore you have to upload ezStats into different folders. You can use the same database, but you must use different table prefixes.

The new version of ezStats is out now. Including syncronization with platoons

Sweet! Updating it now!
Can't wait to show my platoon this.

*After update*

I noticed that my players are not getting added to the list. I've been syncing multiple times.
All the members appear on the list in the back-end, but do not get added in the front end.
Example:
http://saskmilitia.com/ezStats2/

Only shows 3 players for me, while we have 70+ members in the back-end.

How can I get those players in there, with the correct stats?

Also, noticed that players get added as PC players (Windows logo infront of em)
*Checked that, players do get added as PC players, that's why it's not syncing correctly.
Any fix?

Hi Xtreme2Fear!

There was a bug in the first release of the platoon sync. In the actual version, the sync with PS3 and 360 platoons should work trouble-free.
Please keep in mind, that in default settings, the Sync starts every fifth update of the player stats.
