World of Warcraft Wowhead Item tooltips for vBulletin
 

0.5.4 has been uploaded.

I noticed today on my test site that if you have existing posts with [item] tags then switch the language setting in the options and you run some of the Update Counter utilities, it clobbers the existing item tags.

That's been fixed as it tries now to do several things before giving up.

--cut--

nevermind i'm idiot :D

however just a question Sweede, i read the installation file, it says that we only need to import the product, so what about the upload folder? also what about the template edits that you put into hack's description?

thx

Great work sweede :) - I'll install shortly.

When trying to overwrite the old version or install the new version from scratch I receive the following:

try to uninstall the previous version then install the new ... :)

I did. Same error.

just tried onto a test board this is the result:

I created that table just to see if that would satisfy the install script, but it still gives the same error (Even though it does drop the table).

I bypassed the problematic part of the Install script by removing the DROP TABLE line from the install code, but it still doesn't seem to work. The following plugin for bbcode_create seems to be incomplete:

Steve, we need a fix by Sweede :)

Well I had a few attempts at fixing it but haven't been able to fully. Guess we'll have to wait for Mr. Sweede :P

For the time being I've had to go back to the older version.

Some problems I found with this current version:

The Install Script seems broken. The DB error I mentioned earlier in the thread seems to stem from these lines:

I'm guessing that just shouldn't be there full stop, as directly below it there's another, longer 0.5.0 install code which also contains the DROP TABLE line.

The bbcode plugin is incomplete, which resulted in no parsing whatsoever. In the product XML it looks like this:

I think I was able to get past these two problems (Firstly by removing the naughty install code and secondly by using the code from the 0.4.5 plugin in the above), but unfortunately I was still having issues.

Although the items bolded and hyperlinked to the wowhead site, no mouseover popup showed and they didn't change color based on item quality, they were just all bold black.

Also, after installing, the links default to Spanish Wowhead (es.wowhead), which I suppose could have been by design, but then if you go to the Product Settings in ACP the language defaulted is english. Simply clicking save (without changing anything) will then set it to English.

I'm not sure how long these problems would take to fix but it might be worth re-uploading the old version in the meantime Sweede.

:o !

uploaded the previous version, will have a new version up soon.

Please don't worry about the crafting database :) If you're busy you're busy, and we're in no hurry. Thank you for continuing the work on this fabulous addon ^^

Installed and seems to be working fine, thankyou. :)

doesnt seem to be pulling the rollovers, it shows the item color though

edit: i want to mention that the links made before the update are still working, just not the new links

1) Make sure that Options -> Wowhead Item Stats -> Local power.js is set to No
2) View source of any of your forums web pages, make sure that the line
is in the first few lines (within 10 lines)

If that isn't there, go to Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager and find the plugin named 'WoWhead template Cache' and make sure that cache_templates is correct (if it isnt, hit edit and select it from the list).

sorry, it must be a permission thing, i tried it in my admin forum and got nothing, tried it in the wow forum and it worked fine so all is well

thanks for the update

thats odd.. it shouldnt make a difference. In fact the tooltips should work on any vbulletin page...

not sure, it is still that way if you would like to take a look, if not no biggie

Sweede, just uploaded and installed your add-on ... unfortunately it doesn't works ... :( it shows only the BBCode button and the tags [item], but nothing, no colors, nothing ...

if you need t to check-out somethings i can give you an admin account onto my test board ... ;)

edit. instead, the 0.5.1 version runs properly .... also the 0.5.1 runs with the 0.5.2 files so i think there is an issue in the .xml

Ok, fixed with 0.5.3

I use another product that allows me to store plugins on my local drive and edit them with a normal PHP Editor as php files. When i "Export" a product, it reads these php files and creates the XML file accordingly.

If there are any additional space after the closing ?> tag (or it is missing), it doesnt include that plugin, which has happened several times so far :)

OK it seems to be correct now ... edit: nvm it runs :P

upgraded to 5.4, just found a small issue :) i've settled into ACP 'disable underline' but the old tooltips are still underlined ... :)

nice new version...
do you plan to support more then 1 language?
to post in german
use [item]http://de.wowhead.com/?item=29434[/item]
for default lang [item]29434[/item]

Yes, but not until i can figure out how to get a non-english name via URL

for example.

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=Netherwind+Pants&xml works as you would expect.

In french though,
http://fr.wowhead.com/?item=16915
it is
Pantalon de vent du N?ant

which if you put that in the URL, doesnt work
http://fr.wowhead.com/?item=Pantalon...t+du+N?ant&xml

if you change the ? to e
http://fr.wowhead.com/?item=Pantalon...t+du+Neant&xml

it works as expected

Now the problem is translating the ? to e and the other hundreds of characters automatically. While i can build a translation map, that doesnt appear to be the most robust solution right now.

Also, there are some characters in languages that i can't figure out the correct character to use (for example, there is this funky B looking character in German).

I don't want to rely on users knowing the item ID every time, and I haven't added a way to specify locale to the item ID (i.e. [item=ES-12345]Spanish Item[/item] so you can change the displayed language in the tooltip itself.

This though, is easy and i'll get that implemented further in the week (Along with pasting wowhead URLs supporting the same mechanic).

For example, if your board is set to use French by default and someone puts something like..

[item=ES]Abrazo de Alanna[/item] (item is in spanish)
[item=US-13314]Alanna's Embrace[/item] (Item would be in english)
or pasting
http://de.wowhead.com/?item=13314 (item would be in german) ,

all 3 of those would be in their appropriate language

Installed and runs perfectly :)

May I make a suggestion? Is it possible to get the following format to be accepted: [item=35497]

Reason I ask is that I use the RSS feed of a popular Warcraft site and they use that sort of formating so I'm currently having to go in manually edit each item code etc.

If it's possible it'd be great, if not, no worries, just more work for me :P

i don't know if you can do that in bbcode..

but, i'll look and see what i can do.

Whats the RSS feed so i can review and test ?

It's MMO Champions feed, which you can find here

Cheers for the quick response :)

Super Beauts... :cool:

nevermind, reinstalled, works great. Thanks!

i still like mine lol but yours is pretty awesome there man

No problems seen so far on this version :) Thanks sweede!

any chance to get this to work with http://aoc.mmodb.com/ for age of conan?

Yay for mmo-champ !

Create a new plugin
Product WoW Head ItemStats
Hook Location [b]rssposter_parse_rss[b]

Title Rss Test

Plugin PHP Code

You might have to wait a while for mmo champ to post news with that tag in it.

it will change [item=12345] to [item]12345[/item] , which should work out correctly

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

maybe, but not in this product

i need that! :p

worked great, but WoWhead JS script you have to add to headinclude in all styles you use was causing login error. After login you would get a blank screen untill you opened up same page in browser again. Been looking for a fix, but after some checking its the js script thats causing the login blank screen.

yeah try mine it is gitemstats with wowhead support
