NRT
Please note that NRT is no longer actively maintained by Rabbit. If you wish to take over, then you are welcome to contact me on wowace.com. Thank you. However, it should work with 4.0.1+. Now that is said, I have been thinking about updating it properly for Ace3 and such. After all some people still use it.
When a boss dies, you get a popup asking if you want to take raid attendance now - doing so creates a new table of all the members in your raid + people that whisper you with their mains name (who must be in the guild), and presents it to you in a copy-able text box so you can easily export it to your web DKP system.
It also tracks all epic+ quality items that are looted, when they were looted, who looted them and what mob they were looted from.
It also takes whispers from people on standy (outside the raid) during the time period specified when a boss has just died. By whispering your name, it will check the guildlist and then add you to the kill. You can also add people manually later afterwards.
It announces in guild chat when a boss dies and attendance is being taken, you can also set it to announce in a seperate channel at the same time - this is for unguilded alts that are in the channel. They can whisper their mains name to get added.
When the set time of taking attendance is over, the mod announces it.
It also features a filter that make sure certain bosses and items will not be tracked
Before anyone asks, you delete tracked raids and loot by shift + clicking them.
It's very easy to use and appears as an icon around your minimap. There's more features which you will discover very quickly. When I have more time I will update this description.

With this plugin working, you just need to write the dkp item cost into the loot notes (e.g.: 200 DKP) an the items will show the correct costs after the string import.
-- These items are always ignored by the loot handler.
local ignoredItems = {
[30316] = true, -- Devastation
[30317] = true, -- Cosmic Infuser
[30312] = true, -- Infinity Blade
[30318] = true, -- Netherstrand Longbow
[30313] = true, -- Staff of Disintegration
[30311] = true, -- Warp Slicer
[30320] = true, -- Bundle of Nether Spikes
[30314] = true, -- Phaseshift Bulwark
[30319] = true, -- Nether Spikes
[29434] = true, -- Badge of Justice
[22450] = true, -- Void Crystal
[20725] = true, -- Nexus Crystal
}
NRT only tracks attendance and loot. DKP added via your EQDKP interface.

Configure NRT (Easy Options in game)
After you have data, click the data set and a window will pop up with a STRING in it.
Copy that using CONTROL + C and Paste into your website. (IMPORT CT_RaidTracker Link.
Parse the log...
DONE
Hope this helps others.. It took me WAY too long to find all the data I needed...
1. Load NRT - All NRT Does it track Loot/Attendance. Many options available. You can ignore Boss Kills or use them to designate attendance. If you ignore, you can use NRT by manually clicking for attendance taking. Example: Our guild takes attendance once per hour and ignores boss kills.
You can set loot level to track (Epic, Rare etc) also ignore specific item (Badges of Justice).
2. NRT Will create a "String" for each attendance event. This will contain the loot and member attendance. The string can be set to 4 different types. Example: CT_RaidTracker
3. For those using EQDKP, you must install the EQDKP Website Plugin.
The Link is here: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/eqdkp-ct_raid-tracker-plugin.aspx
4. You can now paste the "String" from the NRT Add on (in Game) into your EQDKP Website. When you parse the log, it will show the members and loot that dropped and you can set values for the items.
Hopw this helps. I am not an expert on this, but I have been playing with this all week and that is the basic outline of usage of NRT with a EQDKP Website.
Laterz
What exactly do I copy and parse to the site?
Is there a file that I upload?
Or an in game string that needs to be copied?
Is CT_RaidTracker Needed if outputting in CTRT XML?
If anyone can post a step by step guide I would appreciate it.
We will assign DKP/Track Attendance as follows:
1 Point = On Time
1 Point = Each Hour Of Raid
Is there a way to add time based attendance tracking to NRT?
Basically add a timer function that would snapshot raid attendance and spam guild chat for bench player based on the timer.
Example: Ignore Boss Kills, but every 60 minutes, capture attendance and simultainously spam guild chat for bench players. I realize this is a major change and might require a new add on completely. NRT Time Based? LOL...
I am not a developer at all or I would take a shot at this. Any chance of this??
Or chance another developer is interested? There are many guilds out there who don't use Boss Kill DKP. I was hoping someone could make a sister add on to help Time Based Point guilds.
Three Other questions:
1. Is there a guide on how to upload to EQDKP?
2. Do other guilds have an issue with cheaters? Meaning one player thying to add another player to the attendance?
3. It looks like this add on captures players who are OFFLINE for attendance. Do I need to manually manage this or can it be set to ignore players who are OFFLINE?
I am aware that I can set NRT to only log grps 1-5 which should prevent offline players in grps 6-9 from getting captured. Just asking if there is setting to skip players who are offline.
When I have the time I will upload one.
