Preface- I've seen some threads in regards to global auction houses, yet that's not the purpose for the addon I'm working on.
- I understand the ui would need reloaded to get updates, I am fine with that. The target group of people are fine with that.
- There won't be a very large number of people using the addon, so this shouldn't be a problem.
- This isn't a question of should I do this, it is a question of how to do this.
The goal is to have an addon that can get data from an external database and display it ingame, have a field for text entry and be able to save the data to be posted via ui reload. The database connection will be set up in PHP, obviously it's not a good idea to put database usernames/passwords in the .lua files for all to find. Hopefully this will open up new possibilities for future addons from all creators.
Does anyone know how to connect to an external resource, specifically a database, webpage, or even an image on a website, with an addon in ESO?
Addon connect to external database?
