Grab the code to run the Wowhead's own script from here: http://www.wowhead.com/tooltips. Paste it into your header includes file.
Then create a new BBCode item like this: <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item={option}">{param}</a>

I hope someone else can put this to use and save themselves the time it took me to figure this all out.

I laughed at wowhead tooltip. Sure it can do a lot more than what wowhead.com provides us, but we don't have to pay for wowhead.com

After long delays I've finally added vbb4 to my guild site, so these mods will get updated again.

I would like to make it clear that the ONLY thing this mod is going to provide is the automatic include of the wowhead power.js script that lets you put mouse overs on wowhead URLs and the ability to turn [item]Item Name[/item] into a tooltip style link, but most importantly NO additional files to upload and manage.

Since wowhead doesnt offer any direct way to distinguish between heroic and non-heroic items through XML (i.e. wowhead.com/item=Boots&xml ), I will have to re-design the method that i use to look up item names.

The problem with searching is with item names that may not be complete or item names that are partial names to acheivements, spells, gear, etc. Without adding a multitude of files to manage each type of search & sort (wowhead tooltips has over 230 files to upload in 29 folders), I won't be adding a huge, massive amount of features.
