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

• 0.2
  • Armory Caching never actually worked properly, this should now be fixed.
  • Remove the includes/functions_wow3bbcode.php file. This has been replaced by a plugin.
  • Remove the clientscript/phparmory/config.php file. This isnt needed.
  • Major updates to phparmory.php
  • Minor Plugin changes + code cleanup.

ToDo

• New tooltip javascript
• 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).

Sorry for the uber late delay in replying.

I've fought back and forth through several ideas on how to provide a better degree of customization to this plugin and still haven't really found anything i like yet. However, after watching this really cool video on why more is less ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=vMV4PIEIKY4 , very much worth the 64 minute watch ), i decided on actually using every stat available through the armory XML sheet and providing larger groups. Instead of the roughly 108 (!) stats available through the armory profile, you'll have 7 - 9 to choose from. each class & spec, you'll will be able to choose 3 different stat groups.

melee, spell, defense, arena, ranged, Pets, Resistances and a Class block and im sure there is another one I'm forgetting

The progression thing is more of a vba CMPS hack. I've been re-writing some of it though since it was very much copy & paste coded :x

in the WoW Char Code Postbit plugin

replace with
$wowchar_code .= " onmouseover='ajax_showTooltip(\"".$vbulletin->options['bburl']."/clientscript/wowbbcode_js/ajax.php?do=wowcharcode&server={xserver}&char={cha rname}\",this);";

Im not sure what you are trying to do here except create a lot of 404 errors ?

there is no ajax.php file in the clientscript/wowbbcode_js directory. I use the ajax.php file of vbulletin.

[Blaine0002]

hmm, my bad meant for the ajax.js file.

[sweede]

Right, there is an ajax.js, but it does not do what you are thinking it does. The code snip you posted above is something you definitely don't want to do.

[Blaine0002]

all i remember is having to do something with a url in one of the products in order to get the rollover to work :-/ cant quite remember tho.

anyways.

add mana

[sweede]

o.

well, this coming weekend i should have a pretty big update that changes how it looks and gives the forum admin easier ways to configure whats shown.

Even copy and paste coded it's very clean looking and much better then my attempts have been if you decide to release it please let me know I would love to get it.

I searched this thread by my problem hasnt come up yet.

I updated to 3.7 Gold yesterday and along with updating the forum I updated all the addons (Before it was running 3.7 RC1) I updated this one and ran across a small issue

If you go here (where I primarily use the addon) http://www.battlegroundwarriors.com/...ageid=officers

Hovering over any particular name gives a tooltip but where all the stats should be it just says 'Array'

Any idea what is causing the problem? I know its a vbadvanced page but even in an actual post it does the same thing.

Also I never knew you were on Kargath server. I've probably seen you around a few times.

[sweede]

i joined No Quarter for a short time on kargath. After a little while in the guild, i realized that the guild was not yet at a commitment level that I required as a raid guild.

anyways, did you update the functions_wowcharcode.php file ? that's the only thing i can think of that would cuase this issue. Use the one in the plugin post, not the one in the zip file.
