Support
[hr]value[/hr]I use my released mods daily, if I find an issue with them or add features for myself I will release updates. If there are significant bugs or simple feature requests I will do my best to release fixes. Some of my mods rely on fetching data from 3rd party websites, due to the unreliable results, my mods will require users to troubleshoot for themselves if they find the addon is not working for them specifically. I am offering my personal mods that work ok for me for you to use, I am sorry I do not have time to troubleshoot many user specific issues. Thank you for your understanding.

What is the code I need to manually edit the postbit_legacy?

It didn't work for me.

[Gryphon]

It says on the config options, $wowchar_menu

You need to set Automatically Insert to No in order for manual insert to work.

Works perfect, thanks!

Is there any way I can move where it displays?

I know its a change in one of the templates i want to make sure i edit the correct one.

[Gryphon]

You need to disable Automatically Insert, and place $wowchar_menu in your postbit wherever you want the menu to appear.

Perfect, thanks!

Hi BlackJack, first of all congrats for a wonderful hack, I installed it on my board as well, but recently I've run into a little problem.

Everything is displayed as expected, but the links in postbit don't work, just the Profile ones. The menu is displayed correctly under the user reputation, but when you click on the char link nothing happens, it's like the URL field is empty. However, if you try to access the same Armory char link from the User Profile, it works as advertised.

I tried to reinstall the hack, but the end result is the same.

Any thoughts?

P.S: another weird thing is that if I set the Automatically Insert option to No and manually put the $wowchar_menu in the postbit, the menu is displayed, but if I switch the option to Yes, the menu doesn't show up anymore.

Looks like everything is ok, however something is modifying the links to insert the urchinTracker onclick. I am not sure if this is what is interfering with the clicking of the links, but seems like a likely culprit.

Regarding adding $wowchar_menu manually and clicking Yes, I am sure it might cause some issue as it wasn't intended to be used in that manner. It would probably try and add a second $wowchar_menu which probably messes with vBulletin's javascript or your urchinTracker insert thing.

However, everything looks fine for the most part on your install accept for the urchinTracker insert.

Thank you for clicking Install

k I managed to install this... but when you click on the wow characters link, there are no images in the drop down, nor in the profile... so it doesnt show the images at all anywhere...
