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

  • Added ability to specify what armory the character / realm you would like, see usage notes below.
• 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 This has been replaced by a plugin.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).

Added German translation for what i currently have localized. Provided by jluerken http://www.wow-relaxed.de

Yea that seemed to work I replaced the functions file and everything is working again.

Thank you

I need this to work with servers with a space in the title. I saw someone hardcoded kul tiras to work on their forum, but I need it to work with several different ones. Does anyone have any clues?

I'm guessing I need to change some of the preg_replace to accept a space.

preg_match("/(.*)-(.*)/", $realm, $match);

needs to be changed maybe?

I've tested this on servers without spaces, with spaces, without ' with ' and all combonations, all of them work. My character is on a realm with a ' in it. several users of this mod are on realms with spaces in them.

If you are having a specific issue

I NEED THE CHARACTER NAME AND REALM YOU ARE USING. Please don't just say it doesnt work for this and that without providing me any details as to what isn't working.

The line you listed above only does anything if the value of the [char] option has a - in it (i.e. [char=EU-Server]Character[/char]

realm: Silver Hand
character names: Have tried several: Nadiar, Zilandria, Derreidos
Right now everything is set at the default.

This is a great mod. The link seems to break though after editting a thread though, probably due to the WYSIWYG editor? I had this issue with the WoWHead Item Link addon, but the author seems to have fixed it somehow. Is there a way to somehow get that fix to work for this specific mod?

it may be because you tryig to load the javascript from a different url than what's in the address bar.

I.e. foo.com v.s. www.foo.com
