I was building a website for a World of Warcraft guild on the Wordpress platform. I needed to display a roster of all the guild's members. Rather than have the guild leader manually enter new members in a unique database, I decided to create a plugin to handle the display of a roster automatically using WoW Armory data.

WoW Guild Retrieve asks for a realm name and guild name. Because it's a shortcode, you can have multiple guild lists even on the same page!

To use the plugin in any page or post, just include the following text in that page:

[wgr guildname="" realmname=""]

Between the quotes, add the appropriate names, like so:

[wgr guildname="My Guild Name" realmname="My Realm Name"]

It defaults to US servers. For EU servers, just add this:

[wgr guildname="My Guild Name" realmname="My Realm Name" region="eu"]

But wait, there's more!

If you'd like to change the sorting, just use the following options:

sorttype - this changes the default column which the plugin sorts by. May be a number between 0 and 4. sortorder - this changes the order in which the plugin sorts. May be either "asc" or "desc".

Also, there is this option:

restrict - if set to true, this will restrict the guild list to only level 80 players.

An example of a shortcode that uses all of the options is here:

[wgr guildname="My Guild" realmname="My Realm" region="eu" sorttype="1" sortorder="desc" restrict="true"]

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to drop by the plugin website here:
