Sweede, i'm wondering: why you don't release this for 3.7.x?

Far as I can see this still works perfectly on 3.7.x

It will work without issues on 3.7. Although it's probably a mistake on my part, i don't feel the need to make a new post with the exact same information in another forum just yet.

does it works with de.wowhead.com (german version of wowhead?) i see a smf script that works with all languages!

[sweede]

The next release will have the language support, but between work, setting up my 125 gallon fish tank in our apartment, leveling my hottie paladin and drinking, getting time to code the update ( it's quite a large re-write btw ) is hard to find.

I do work on it peice by peice and i will have one released soon (can't tm it cause it's tm'd by blizzard blue posters).

Erm, we have just started using eqdkp, is there any way to apply these to an eqdkp installation that is separate to vbulletin? Also, the download for the eqdkp thing seems to be missing, unless I'm seeing things.

I really don't trust the old itemstats plugin, as it is no longer officially supported and is hacked to get wowhead.com tooltips >> If there is no way to use your script, Sweede, I'll just go with that but I thought I'd ask first.

Here's a list of things on my todo.. list..

Create a Drop-In Replacement for ItemStats. I have installed EqDKP Plus and have been reverse.. "including", trying to find the key file that needs to be replaced and how to best code the replacement. This is the easy one and requires really only minor code changes to my current plugin.

Update with wowheads supplied Langauge Support. To understand my problem with this one, you have to understand how i search for the item and return the itemID into the URL.

When you post [item]Foo[/item] , it auto-creates a URL, http://www.wowhead.com/?item=Foo&xml and this returns the XML of the item. the XML contains the ItemID which i then use to create the URL back to wowhead. The problem now is that with special characters (non-english, such as ? in Agon?a sin l?mites ), i can't just simply create http://es.wowhead.com/?item=Agon?a+sin+l?mites&xml however, http://es.wowhead.com/?item=Agonia+sin+limites&xml gives the correct response.

Notice the change from ? to i. i'm not sure that there is an easy and quick way to make this translation in PHP. Some other characters such as the german ? symbol, i can't seem to get working via URL ( http://de.wowhead.com/?item=Magierkl...marschalls&xml )

The best way seems to enforce posting English Names only to which then i can get the translated name and display that. However what i would have to do here is hit wowhead.com for the Item Name to ItemID , then hit wowhead.com with the ItemID in whatever langauge selected (i.e. http://es.wowhead.com/?item=12345& would return the XML in spanish). I would rather not have 2 requests to wowhead when a new item is posted (itemID's are cached with their name, so you only need to do the lookup during the initial post).

The other option is of course, posting the complete wowhead URL for non-english URLs. Posting http://de.wowhead.com/?item=30901 will return the item name in german.

1) There will be, but you will have to supply the path to your vbulletin installation.
2) No your not seeing things, it is missing and soon to be replaced
3) I havent forgotten about your crafting database mod, i just havent really had much time to re-work it.
