EkRaidAttend's job is to record the names of the people in a raid at a given time. It can do this automatically based on a timer or when a boss is killed, or it can be done manually by you at any time. It can also record the main character name of a player if they were playing the game using an alternate character at the time. You can have the addon record only the names of the people in the current zone, and you can choose whether to record the names of players that are offline.
Once an attendance list has been saved by the addon, you can copy it to the addon's notepad. By selecting the text in the notepad and pressing Ctrl-C, you can copy the character names to the Windows clipboard. The contents of the clipboard can then be pasted into an input form on a DKP web page, or pasted into a text editor, etc. There are also buttons that will let you remove duplicate names, remove non-guildmember names, and sort the names. You can also create an intersection of attendance lists that contains only the names of the people that were on each of the selected lists.
If you have the EkWaitList addon installed, then EkRaidAttend can record the names of the people that are on the wait list, either as a separate attendance list, or combined with the names on the main attendance list.
If you have the CT_RaidAssist addon installed, then EkRaidAttend can record the names of the people in the /raresist, /raitem, and /radur windows. This could be used to reward people who meet certain minimum resistances, bring certain quantities of items, etc.

- Due to issues with Blizzard's UIPanel-system code (they are looking into it), I have temporarily changed the addon window so that it does not behave like a standard UI window.

Version 2.66 changes (2007-09-07)
- Fixed problems related to the option that displayed Blizzard's standard raid window when taking an attendance screenshot.
If you had this option enabled, the raid window may not have appeared in your attendance screenshots if you were in combat when the screenshot was taken. If you had an error reporting addon installed, you may also have seen some ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED messages.
To avoid these issues with the current raid window, I have created an alternate raid members window that will be used when the screenshot is taken. The new window will appear in the same location as your EkRaidAttend window, even if that window is closed at the time.
Version 2.65 changes (2007-08-04)
- Fixed an error that would occur when you opened page 2 of the options window.
- If you are recording attendance using main names, it will now check if there is more than one person in the raid/waitlist that has the same main name. If there is a conflict then their actual names will be recorded rather than their main names. Prior to this change, if multiple people had the same main name then only one of those players would be recorded in the attendance list.
- If you are recording attendance using main names and a main name conflict is detected, a list of those conflicts will be displayed in the chat window after the attendance is recorded.
- The "Main name" and "Record" buttons in the notepad now check for main name conflicts amongst the names in the notepad.
- Now sorts the player names that are shown in the chat window when an attendance is taken.
- A reminder message is now displayed in the chat window when you have more than 500 attendance lists. The message will only be displayed once every 100 or more attendances, and only if there are more than 500 attendance lists at that time. The message reminds you how many lists you have and how to open the attendance lists window.
- Added an option to disable the message reminding you how many attendance lists you have.
- Added Karazhan and Hyjal Summit bosses.
- If you right click on a section heading in the boss options window, it will now select or unselect all of the bosses in that section.
- Finished localizing the text strings.

CT_RaidAssist is no longer discontinued. I have updated it to work with WoW 3.x, fixed some bugs, and added some new features. The new version of CT_RaidAssist is now available from www.ctmod.net. EkRaidAttendance is compatible with the latest version of CT_RaidAssist's /radur, /raresist, and /raitem commands.
Originally posted by Clausm How it works with oRA2?
This is my question. Now that CT Raid has been discontinued, will the /ra dur commands that allow you to add names based on durability or resistance still work with ORA2?
The mod is great. One suggestion is an option to verify "main" names against the guild roster. The public note on my main says "Tree of Life" and the mod interprets that as "Tree" being my main name.
I'd love to see an option to show divergence. Whereas intersection shows only those names that are common to all selected lists, divergence would only show those names that are unique. It would be a great way to track sit-outs.
