UI Lua API import (WAR 1.4.8)

New page

{{LuaApi|group=Guild}}
Returns the stored profile of a guild, looked up by guild id.

<pre>
guildData = GetDatabaseGuildData(guildId)
</pre>

== Arguments ==
;guildId : <code>number</code> – Guild id, for example the id from a <code>GUILD:</code> chat hyperlink.

== Returns ==
;guildData : <code>table</code> – The guild's profile, or nothing if the client has no profile for that id. The table has the same fields as the one returned by [[API:GuildRecruitmentProfileGetData|GuildRecruitmentProfileGetData]].

== Details ==
* If <code>guildId</code> is the player's own guild, the client's own guild record is used. Otherwise the id is looked up in the client's store of guild profiles. The function does not ask the server.
* Always test the result for <code>nil</code>, as the stock UI does.

== Errors ==
None besides the generic ''Invalid Parameters'' message when the argument is missing or not a number.

== Example ==
From <code>default/ea_chatwindow/source/chathyperlinking.lua</code>:
<pre>
function EA_ChatWindow.OnGuildLinkLButtonUp( guildId, flags, x, y )
if( flags == SystemData.ButtonFlags.SHIFT )
then
local guildData = GetDatabaseGuildData( guildId )
if( not guildData )
then
return
end
EA_ChatWindow.InsertGuildLink( guildData )
return
end
...
</pre>
