Was just watching the 3rd Party Dev talk from Fanfest by foxfour that just went up on the youtubes yesterday.
He reiterated that when it was possible, the IGB would go away - There were a few questions about how and when, but I'm not sure how or if my use case will work in a world without the IGB.
My ISK primarily accrues due to my station stocking/inter-regional trading efforts... I store all of my transactions in a database, query my current assets on the market, query eve-central for a whole stack of prices, then mash all that together with a bit of php which gives me a list of items that have sold out, how many I sold in the last 90days and some stats about how much they sold for versus what Jita is currently showing them as.... long story short that all comes together in a lcoal php page which builds a shopping list around "CCPEve.ShowMarketDetails" such that I can just open the IGB, click through all the items on the list, and buy however many of each - all fast enough and easy enough. When the IGB (metaphorically) gets taken out back and shot - Will an alternate methodology of not spending hours looking for and purchasing items in the in-game market be possible ? (Hey, isn't someone at CCP building a multi-buy function yet... please )
Cheers, McMonte

I was definitely said that things like that will very likely not be replaced before IGB is removed, but should be sometime after. I know of two possible ways to make links on a website do stuff int eh client (like open info window, show a fitting, look up market details etc.) one os to register an eve:// handler on the system and the other is to have the link send a crest call, which tells the server to tell the client to open the thing. (First option is clearly simpler, don't know if it works in all cases)
In the interim, it should be quite possible to have your page generate a block of text that includes the correct tags to make the names into clickable links once copy/pasted into game (notepad maybe, or your own super-special channel).
Who know's maybe even the 2 way chat will be in crest by then (doubt it, but we can dream), and you can have your tool send the links to a chat window automagically. :)

Cool, I was thinking to go looking into pasting formatted links into a chat window... But hoping on an automagic solution sounds like the way to go :)

No, had no idea such a thing existed. Since found a sign-up thingy on Steves website that has gotten me in on the EveDev slack team. But that seems to possibly be different from the devfleet and tweetfleet slack teams (which I havent yet worked out)
cheers

I asked because yesterday I said something in there about IGB and used the same metaphor about it getting taken out back and shot |

the thing on my site is for something I was trying a really long time ago. It was clunky as hell to get working. (and thus isn't in use)
Woo! CSM X!

all we need is an improved quickbar that allows easy import of shopping lists to replace this functionality
i also talked to FoxFour about this via twitter and send him a PN how this is really important for our corp and alliance logistics.
let's hope they are reasonable about this

A nice replacement for shopping lists would be crest write access to the ingame notebook.. so websites or apps could simply add a shopping note. |

I'm interested in this type of functionality as well. Basically clicking a link in a normal browser and having different actions performed in the EVE client. I'm developing an app where this comes in very handy and I use the IGB right now for this reason specifically. If I didn't need to use the IGB to get this functionality that would be awesome.
My application will have a shopping list too, so having some sort of shopping list import would be beneficial too. I'm interested to see what ideas FoxFour and the community come up with. |
