Shout Feature

I'm not sure if its just me or not, or if they're editing the program, but the last few days the Shout feature on the link has not been working. Most of the time it wont even load up at all. And the times it did, after a few minutes it would stop updating all together.
Any ideas?

Doesnt work for me either

When I use the link, it just pulls up the guildwork plug-in page. I suspect that either someone's doing some maint., or the link's broken.

i was mad for some seconds to actually have to login into the game to see shouts for Jeuno. Makes you appreciate this feature on this very site much much more.

Temporarily, you can access shouts by going directly to Guildwork's website. If you don't have an account/don't want to log in, in the bottom right hand corner of the home page, under Other, is the link for FFXI Shouts; however, you will need to uncheck servers other than your own (assuming you don't want to see other server spam).

If you have a guildwork account and log in, this is done for you automatically.

Fairly sure the shouts are also dependent on the fact that people with the guildwork plugin are actually there to witness the shout and report on it.

Last few days have been a bit buggy for me on shouts as well. Right now it won't auto update and I need to reload every so often.

That shouldn't stop the shout page from not loading only half the time. I tried sitting in PJ with the plugin on and nothing changed, still had issues loading it and when it did load it didn't auto-update.

I was tinkering with it so I was likely the cause of any issues but it should auto-update now. If it doesn't load the shouts when the page loads, let me know what your browser is and if you are using any plugins. Make sure you white list stream.ffxiah.com if applicable.

I have tried in
IE Firefox and chrome and it's still not updating in all 3.


Chrome I have Flash and that's it.
Firefox Clean install didn't have it installed before today.
IE a few random addon.

But because it's still happening on all 3 I don't think it's an addon.

Don't have any URL blocked.
Same issue on a server in DMZ

Yeah, it's busted again.

Also as of right now it's currently working. Great Work... Thank you so much.

Broken as of sometime today.

Yup broken again for me too.

Well auto refresher pro for chrome is my fix.

not auto-updating as of an hour ago?

Can't you just javascript a force update for the table?

can't even manually update now

Do you mean a force update button?


It should be working now.

Sorry about all the bugs with the page. I have been developing a stream server and the shout page is using it. Before, I just did polling to check for updates. It was reliable but created alot of requests to my PHP backends and at the same time doesn't let me push data to the client. The stream server is built using TornadIO, it's a python implementation of socket.io using Tornado. It takes advantage of websockets and xhr-polling(long polling), those are the only 2 transports I'm using atm. So basically when new shouts come in, I can push it immediately, instead of wait 60 seconds (or whatever the poll interval is set at). I'm still trying to figure out why it stops working after awhile. I'm thinking it's something to do with redis's publish/subscribe connection because the shouts load initially just fine.

Not a button but a forced timed refresh. Heck, even a page refresh might just work.

is this a bug? happens every so often, duplicates a shout X amount of times with broken formatting

Looks like the problem with this was on my end, I've given Stanislav a fixed gw dll that should correct it.
