Well I'll tell you what I did step by step, maybe it can help you get it working to some degree.

Step 1) Download the files needed (A very good start)
Step 2) Unzip the contents of the itemstats 1.2.zip into your forum ROOT directory (ie http://your.site.tld/forum/itemstats).
Step 3) Copy the vb_itemstats.php into your newly uploaded itemstats folder.
Step 4) Paste the following two lines into the bottom of your headinclude-template

<link rel="stylesheet" href="itemstats/templates/itemstats.css" type="text/css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="itemstats/overlib/overlib.js"><!-- overLIB (c) Erik Bosrup --></script>

Step 5) Go to your admin Control Panel and upload the product itemstats.xml into your Product Manager.

Now before it works you need to obviously set up the config file to point to your database where the cache items and things can be stored. So your config.php should look like this (obviously with your own info):

<?php

// The location and extension type for the Icon store.
define('ICON_STORE_LOCATION', 'http://wow.allakhazam.com/images/icons/');
define('ICON_EXTENSION', '.png');

// Database config
define('dbhost', 'localhost');
define('dbname', 'itemdb');
define('dbuser', 'user');
define('dbpass', 'pass');
define('item_cache_table', 'item_cache');

?>

Then you need to make sure the table actualy exists in your DB and if not, you can run that SQL to create it:

CREATE TABLE `item_cache` (
  `item_name` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
  `item_link` varchar(100) default NULL,
  `item_color` varchar(20) NOT NULL default '',
  `item_icon` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
  `item_html` text NOT NULL,
  UNIQUE KEY `item_name` (`item_name`),
  FULLTEXT KEY `item_html` (`item_html`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

I'm still trying to work out why the icons are not showing so when I do, I'll be sure to post it here.. hope this helps you get it working.
