Looking for a module to track login "attendance"

Hello,

I run a raven based website for a computer game. (eve-online), but I am attempting to figure out how to write a module, that would allow each member on the website to have their last 10 logins tracked by calendar date, allow people with "given rights" (manager) to view a list of each members last 2 login periods, and then with a click of a button, will send off an email to each member who HASN'T logged in, in 2 weeks. Then, also email the manager, a list who have gone 4 weeks without logging in.

Effectivly, this is a roster tracking tool. Main reason for this, is because eve-online, operates using a "corporation" style layout. And it's not unusual to get corps of 100's (if not 1000's) of players. However, as a group, we don't want to have inactive members of the corp staying in the corp. So this would help manage corp memberships.

Now, here's the REALLY fun part. The game has an in-game browser (referred to as IGB), and the IGB has the ability to passback player info from within the game back to the database, and also get information out, providing the php scripts do the retrieval work. THIS is ultimately my goal.

so that I can have essentially the same tool, both as a module (for any other games, that want to use it), and then modify it to allow for eve specific control.

Effectivly, this is kind of a clan management type tool for phpnuke, but NOT solely for WoW or Ever-crack.

ANY help here would be HUGELY apreciated.

I believe a roster script like vWar may do some of what you want. BUt I don't know anything specific for EVE Online.

yeah,

after looking at this, and trying it out, it really is more focused on PvP FPS/
Fantasy RPG type games. The real problem with this, is also natively, vWar is NOT
designed to operate in-line with phpnuke. Their is a mod for it to make it compatible for phpnuke, but the zip files they give, is an entire website. Not just the module as an addon. So, incorporating it, makes it nearly impossible, because it's also setup to use plain phpnuke, not ravennuke. I tried to make a copy, and it broke a crapload of stuff.

Sadly.

So.... I've been trying to get this to work, initially using the my_account module,
but I'm really at a loss as to how to modify it to do what I want. I would LOVE it
to be a cross between my_account and the memberslist modules.

for example,

list all members by their corp, and then list their last login date, and then a checkmark (or x) if either mia, miamailed, awol, awolmailed, kia, onleave , onleave-reason would be listed besides the each member name.

Would you suggest to modify the members list module to do this? or start from
scratch?

again, I'm a code newb (trying to learn, but Ive got a looong way to go)..

thanks again,

spyrule.
