Miscellaneous Hacks - WoW Character BBCode

This is a continuation of the project, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=160418 . I have made several modifications to the original authors code and several have asked for my modifications.

Because of this and the original authors lack of updating the original modification, I have decided to upload this package for all to use.

All credit goes to the original author(s) of the utility as i have only cleaned up the code and packaged it for easy usage.

WARNING!
This is very beta at this time. I have added the product now to force myself to update and maintain the plugin and to share it with the rest of my fellow World of Warcraft webmasters

Installation

1. Uninstall your existing WoW Char Code installation. I have changed the product ID itself and it may not update everything correctly.
2. Remove the clientscript/ajax_tooltip and clientscript/phparmory folders if they exist
3. Upload the contents of the "Upload" Folder to the ROOT directory of your forums (for example, if you have your forums installed in /home/mydir/public_html/forums , you would unzip into that folder.)
4. Import the product/product-WoWCharBBCode-?.??.xml file

ToDo

• New character sheet.
• Create easy to modify interface for character stats to be displayed in tooltip.

Usage
Using the character code is easy enough,
[char]CHARACTER[/char] if default realm option is set and character links is on same realm.
For characters not on the same realm as the default,
[char=SERVER]CHARACTER[/char]
For example,
[char=Vek'nilash]Azaril[/char]
Or, if you want to link a character profile from another locale (i.e. EU realms) , you simply add EU- before the server name.
[char=EU-Vek'nilash]Azaril[/char]

The same thing applies to linking US realm characters from a EU default forum.

See a working example at http://www.dramaloot.com/index.php?id=officer_cl (This is a vbadvanced custom page using the BBCode page type).

It's an issue, but it seems pretty consistent on any bbcode addition that requires a callback function.

If you add a set of bbcode through the vbulletin admin Cp panel, it will work in the quick editor just fine, but you can't add callback code through there, which is what i need to do.

the only real work around is to go to your admincp, options -> message posting interface options ,

change all 3 to "enable standard controls"

just a note in the current version dont know if these are bugs or what.

defence is only showing the character base defence not defence + item defence bonus.
ie: warriors showing 370 defence and not 400+ (including item bonus)

on warlocks it shows shadow damage and shadow damage crit however doesn't show fire damage crit just fire damage.
perhaps changing shadow damage crit to just spell crit would be a good idea for multiple element casters.

Open up functions_wowcharcode.php in your editor and find

 $value["fire crit change"]

The change should be obvious

line 474 , change

PHP Code:

$value["defense"] = $defenses['defense']['value']; 


to

PHP Code:

$value["defense"] = $defenses['defense']['plusdefense'] + $defenses['defense']['value']; 


[hinch]

the crit change isn't so obvious as in your code you have all spell crits split off separately what i'm proposing is merging them all so they're not split off anymore since for warlocks and I assume mage's too etc your crit chance with one damage type is teh same as the other damage type excluding talents (since armoury excludes talents anyway)

<critChance rating="285">
          <arcane percent="23.34"/>
          <fire percent="32.34"/>
          <frost percent="23.34"/>
          <holy percent="23.34"/>
          <nature percent="23.34"/>
          <shadow percent="23.34"/>
</critChance>

Taken from a firemage's armory.

In the future, the crit chance returned will be based on the characters spec, which would govern their primary nuke. You will also have the option to display the max crit rate and all schools individual crit rates.

This is awesome!

Is there any way to add like custom fields in the mouseover? perhaps custom images per character?

I'm also noticing that some of the gear bonuses aren't showing. my tankadin is only showing 370 defense.

Your lvl 39 character has no professions or just one profession ?
