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 This has been replaced by a plugin.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).

a friend of mine "Anivar" came up with this fix

function GetProfession()
    {
        if (!is_string($this->profession) )
        { 
            if ( !is_array($this->profession[0]) )
            {
                $tmpArr[] = $this->profession;
                $this->profession = $tmpArr;
            }
    
        foreach($this->profession as $profs)
        {
                $profs['value'] = $profs['value'][0];
        $prof_url = $this->get_image_location($this->icons_url . "professions/" . $profs['key'] . "-sm.gif");
                 $profs['name'] = $this->wowchar_phrase($profs['name'], "prof");
        eval('$out .= "' . fetch_template('WoWChar_profession_data') . '";');
        }
    
            return $out;
        } else {
            return;      
        }
       
    }

You don't have cURL installed on your webhost.

You can try asking them if they can enable it for you, but that might not happen.

Are you using my other product, the Wowhead Item stats plugin? That doesnt use cURL and if it works, i can make an update for you (and other non-cURL users)

I'm having issues, it's having troubles CHMODing the armory folder, even tho it's 777?

//if(!chmod($path,0755))
//{
// echo "error chmod'ing $path";
//}

I must uninstall, this mod, beacuse that blocking the memebers public profile.
I try using the wowhead_itemstats_0-5-4. (and other itemlink hacks) That dosent work . Block the FAQ section, and other WYSIWYG editor feature. When i uninstal this produce, all things is fixing.

Sry my bad english.

Switching it to 700 worked fine. Should really state that the armory folder's permissions needs to be altered.

if you looked through the previous posts, you would have found this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=167 (on the previous page no less) , in dealing with your member profile issue.

However, since your host doesn't use cURL and you give no explanation as to why anything doesn't work, fixing the member profile issue wouldnt do you any good anyways.
