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

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).

okay, I typed out the functions file name, it doesn't have 'bb' in it and the line number was 801 *facepalm* late night code tweaking for the LOSE. Should have screenied it rather than transcribing it

Tried the sql query and came up with 0 results

Warning: Invalid argument supplied foreach() in includes/functions_wowcharcode.php on line 801

updated for clarity. Very sorry

Current plugin details

One of my guildies was working on making our own/local version of the guild roster, but I think they're a bit overwhelmed by vbulleting atm, so I haven't seen anything of it, or the crafting database we're making.

If the armory was better it would be very easy to pull it from the armory.

Other things i have planned to do include some type of guild roster, a raid calander (update/rewrite the one listed on this site) and a built in loot tracking system using either EPGP, NRT or something else (non point DKP though).

[sweede]

The character you're linking doesnt have any professions listed?

I guess thats my fault for not checking first

There'll be an update in 30 minutes or so.

-- Updated functions_wowcharcode.php

works perfectly now. Thanks for the quick update! And just noticed my request about mp5 was silly, as it's all phrased. *is blind*


Sounds like you're headed for a complete WoW Package there, pretty awesome


I currently use farcaster's event attendance & event forums for raid sign ups, as it lets us do RP events and things as well, and my server means fopen_url has made the WoW version unusable >>


I think loot tracking is more important to us than dkp itself - we use suicide kings, so people just use the mod to find out where they are, but 'latest loot' would be a nice addition to the raid section of our site (small area that has upcoming events, screenshots, latest threads and latest raid news all in one spot.) Anyways, this is getting off topic now, so I'll stop rambling.

Installed!

Question..

Is there a way to not display the server? So it just says the Name of the character. Our forums are for our guild only so the default server is always the same.. would just like to display the Character name.

This looks awesome btw.

Thanks for the fix! Great mod!

Fixed the issue where if you rebuilt your post cache you'll lose your the [char] tag links.

Sorry, i'm definitly a novice here.

I've got everything loaded up where it needs to be, (i think) however when i mouse over my name it says "loading" and eventually just shows that it can't load the picture or any data.

any ideas?
