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
Uninstall your existing WoW Char Code installation. I have changed the product ID itself and it may not update everything correctly.
Remove the clientscript/ajax_tooltip and clientscript/phparmory folders if they exist
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.)
Import the product/product-WoWCharBBCode-?.??.xml file

0.4.9

Added Icon caching to help with slow armory. Images are cached by default in the armory folder. chmod this folder to 777 and icons will be automaticly cached to this folder.
You can now use the variable $wowchar_code in the postbit (or postbit_legacy) to display the character tooltip in a post.
0.4.3 Fixed issue with rebuilding post cache.
0.4.2 Added option to show/hide realm if a default realm is set.
0.4.1 Fixed an issue if the character doesnt have armory data, Only change is in functions_wowcharcode.php file.
0.4
All Character stat text are now phrases. you will find a new Phrase Type in the Phrase Manager ( WoW BBCode Phrases )
Added default realm option so one does not need to use the [char=server] option when specifying characters on own realm.
Put the majority of the codes HTML creation as templates and use vbulletins ajax.php and hooks.
Added options for default locale (armory) to use (currently EU and US armories).
Added option to disable caching of the Armory (i use it to test armory retrieval)
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 This has been replaced by a plugin.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.
try the 0.4.9 i added today. if this doesnt work as intended (i wrote it really quick before i had to run off for work), uninstall and go back to the 0.4.8 version and post what went wrong (in detail please!!).
Hi Swede. Thanks. I'll try that when I get home tonight. However, I just noticed that whenever I view someone's profile in VB 3.7, i get the following text/error at the top left of my browser:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/functions_wowcharcode.php on line 704
However, i've written a lot of hacky code in the current incarnation of this mod and i'm feeling like to really go further with it, i need to re-write it.
in the mean time, open up the functions_wowcharcode.php file, find the line like this,

this is what i am getting when i bring up the tooltip it comes up inside the tooltip and in line 714 or 717 it says the same thing. I dont know how to fix it i took a look at the code and it looks right to me but idk
also i found your problem for the wysiwyg editor problems in your wysiwyg fix plugin it is alot simpler to fix than you think.
First open up the plugin wysiwyg fix
next change the hook to bbcode_create
next select all inside code box and replace with:
Code:
if ($this->is_wysiwyg()) {
$this->unparsed_tags[] = 'char';
}
it wont parse as long as it is a variation of char Also that error i spoke of i still cant fix it my character and realm is Lycomedesnw in Gilneas realm
Line 704 in the functions_wowcharcode.php file does not contain the foreach() statement, but line 717 does.
if $default isnt set on line 717, most likely classID isnt being set. Armory could be down or the XML cached is invalid (you can empty the cache in the vbulletin options).
Your other problem, i don't know what your talking about "it wont parse as long as it is a variation of char". what does that mean? [char="vek'nilash"]character[/char] works but [CHAR="vek'nilash"]character[/CHAR] doesnt?
