README

raikia/seat-timerboard is a SeAT v5 plugin for tracking structure timers in EVE.

It adds a Timerboard section to SeAT with:

• current and elapsed timer views
• batch timer creation in a single modal
• inline note indicators with modal note viewing/editing
• edit and delete actions
• tags and optional role-based visibility
• Discord notifications for new timers
• automatic timer imports from supported SeAT notifications
• settings for defaults, notifications, display, auto-import, and cleanup

The board keeps timers in Current until 2 hours after they elapse, then moves them to Elapsed.

Features

• Track system/location, structure type, structure name, owner, attacker, timer, notes, tags, and access role
• Add multiple timers at once with duplicate-row helpers and collapsed row summaries
• View and edit notes in dedicated modals so optional context stays available without cluttering the table
• Search systems from SeAT's SDE data and owners/attackers from ESI
• Filter timers by structure type, tag, region, visibility, note presence, owner, attacker, or free-text search
• Restrict timers to specific SeAT roles or leave them public
• Send Discord notifications when new timers are created
• Configure local time display in either 24-hour or AM/PM format
• Automatically import friendly timers from supported SeAT notifications with duplicate protection and source tagging
• Manage tags, default visibility, notifications, auto-import scope, and cleanup tools from the settings page

Supported auto-import notifications

When auto-import is enabled and the notification belongs to a tracked corporation or alliance member corporation, the plugin can create timers from these SeAT character notification types:

• StructureAnchoring
• StructureLostArmor
• StructureLostShields
• SkyhookLostShields
• OrbitalReinforced
• SovStructureReinforced

Imported timers are tagged automatically where appropriate, such as Auto Imported, Friendly, Anchoring, Reinforced, Skyhook, and Sovereignty.

Requirements

• SeAT v5
• eveseat/services
• eveseat/eveapi
• eveseat/web

For owner/attacker search, users need a valid SeAT main character token since that lookup uses the character ESI search endpoint.

Installation

Install the package in your SeAT instance:

composer require raikia/seat-timerboard

Then run the usual SeAT setup steps:

php artisan migrate
php artisan db:seed --class=Raikia\\SeatTimerboard\\Database\\Seeds\\TimerboardSeeder

Notes:

• The seeder creates a few default tags
• If you run SeAT in Docker, run these commands inside the SeAT app container
• In Docker-based SeAT environments, restart front, worker, and scheduler after plugin updates so SeAT reloads the package cleanly

Initial Setup

After installation:

1. Grant the desired Timerboard permissions to your SeAT roles.
2. Open Timerboard -> Settings.
3. Set an optional default access role for new timers.
4. Review the default tags.
5. Configure notifications if you want Discord alerts.
6. Configure display and auto-import settings if you want local time formatting or automatic friendly timer ingestion.

Permissions

The plugin registers the following permissions:

Settings

The settings page currently supports five areas.

Notifications

You can enable or disable notifications and limit them to specific timer access roles. Include Public (Everyone) if you want public timers to notify.

To send Discord notifications:

1. In SeAT, create or choose a notification group.
2. Add a Discord integration to that group.
3. Subscribe the group to the seat_timerboard_new_timer alert.
4. Enable notifications in Timerboard -> Settings.

Defaults

Set a default access role for new timers, or leave it blank to make them public by default.

Display

Set the local time display format for the dashboard. EVE time remains in UTC, while local time can be shown in either 24-hour or AM/PM format.

Auto Import

Choose which corporations and alliances should be watched for friendly structure notifications.

• Tracked corporations are selected from corporations already known to SeAT
• Tracked alliances are stored as alliances, but imports resolve against their current member corporations
• Only new notifications going forward are imported
• Duplicate imports are ignored using a notification-derived fingerprint

Tags

Create, edit, and delete color-coded tags from the settings page.

Usage

Open Timerboard from the SeAT sidebar.

Creating Timers

Click Add Timers, fill out one or more rows, and save the batch in one submission.

Time input supports:

• Absolute UTC time: YYYY.MM.DD HH:MM
• Absolute UTC time with seconds: YYYY.MM.DD HH:MM:SS
• Relative time: 1d 4h 30m, 2 days 3 hours, and similar formats

Optional notes can be added while creating timers and later opened from the note icon shown beside timers that have saved context.

Editing Timers

Use the pencil action on a timer row to update it in the edit modal. Notes can be updated from the edit flow without taking over the main form layout.

Filtering and Views

• Current and Elapsed timers are shown in separate dashboard views
• The collapsible filter panel lets you narrow the list without leaving the page
• Table sorting works on timer values rather than the formatted display text
