What is a WoWRoster Addon?

A WoW Roster Addon is code that supplements the core components of roster, giving additional functionality and/or other ways to view Available Roster Data or even to create new data

Install AddOns

All Roster AddOns are placed or extracted to 'roster/addons/'

If you have an AddOn named SomeAddon, then it's folder will be at 'roster/addons/SomeAddon/' with it's files inside that folder

Some AddOn authors "zip up" their AddOns with just their folder name

SomeAddon/
 |_inc/
 |  |_conf.php
 |  |_install.def.php
 |_guild/
 |  |_index.php
 |_locale/
 |  |_enUS.php
 |_style.css
 |_index.php

With this type, set the extract location to 'roster/addons/'

While some may put the entire Roster folder structure in the zip file

addons/
 |_SomeAddon/
    |_inc/
    |  |_conf.php
    |  |_install.def.php
    |_guild/
    |  |_index.php
    |_locale/
    |  |_enUS.php
    |_style.css
    |_index.php

With this type, set the extract location to 'roster/'

Just remember that the folder structure needs to look something like this

roster/
 |_addons/
    |_SomeAddon/
    |  |_inc/
    |  |  |_conf.php
    |  |  |_install.def.php
    |  |_guild/
    |  |  |_index.php
    |  |_locale/
    |  |  |_enUS.php
    |  |_style.css
    |  |_index.php
    |_AnotherAddon/
       |_inc/
       |  |_conf.php
       |  |_install.def.php
       |_guild/
       |  |_index.php
       |_locale/
       |  |_enUS.php
       |_style.css
       |_index.php
