I've been looking into saving any change to player/officer notes to a file so I can setup a means to update our guild website (PHPbb3). I've found a few addons that do record the changes, for example Guild Log and Guild Delta, but these dont really do exactly what I need.

Guild Log will always list all changes made even if already recorded (and requires a vbs script to recover that data from the .lua). Guild Delta is more usefull in that it gets the changes since the last login, but reports this to a chat frame (and isn't saved to the chat logs so far as I can tell).

Ideally what I'm looking for would be something that combines both of these addons, I'm pretty sure I know how to deal with getting the data to the website and have some vbs experience (as well as access to some professional web manipulation tools from work), but I'm a total n00b to lua programming.

Does anyone know an addon that I might have missed? OR can advise me how to modify Guild Delta to get the information into the chatlogs? (I'm using elephant to record my chat history)

You will always have to use a 3rd party script / application / BAT to parse your guild data from an addon. Addons are only allowed to write a Lua file and nothing else. Since you only want to change the data that is provided it may be a little easier. You say that you have some VB experience? Well you are halfway there then. Lua has a similar feel. Take a look at Guild Delta and see what is getting the data. You may be able to add to it. Wowprogramming.com and WowWiki.com are both very goor resources for help in finding the right function to get the data that you need from the game.

If you get to a specific area where you need a point in the right direction then post back here and there will be someone who should be able to help.

Thanks!

wowprogramming appears to have the kind of information i need, like i said, guild delta messages dont write chat messages that would get logged. if I can modify that then it will be much easier to parse the chat log than a .lua. So I should be able to change the calls to the chatframe to sendchatmessage calls.
