La-Z-Viter was born out of necessity. My guild is a large one and we do signups
and approvals via a web-based calendar and our forums. Our raid leaders and officers
needed a way to quickly paste from the approval forum post into something in game
and get people invited to the raid.
Using La-Z-Viter is simple. Simply copy/paste the list of members into the box and
press invite. La-Z-Viter will try to do the right thing. Here are some of the rules
it uses to do invites:
- The first word on each line is used as the name of the invitee
- Names that aren’t in your guild roster or friends list are ignored
- If the name is “Waitlist” or “Standby” then all subsequent names are not included but will be reported in the printed summary
- If the person isn’t online, their name is output to the default chat frame
- Blank lines are ignored
/lazviter or /lin – Opens the invitation window
Thanks to Ennoia of Dragonblight for the silly name and to all my other late night
guildies for helping me test it.
