World of Warcraft [item]-bbcode.

This is in reply to this thread.

Download the product-itemstats.xml, vb_itemstats.php and 'itemstats_1.2.zip'.
Unzip itemstats_1.2.zip to your forum-root (ie http://your.site.tld/forum/itemstats), and follow the basic setup instructions in doc/config.txt.

Copy vb_itemstats.php into your itemstats-folder.

Paste the following two lines into the bottom of your headinclude-template

<link rel="stylesheet" href="itemstats/templates/itemstats.css" type="text/css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="itemstats/overlib/overlib.js"><!-- overLIB (c) Erik Bosrup --></script>

Lastly, upload the product-itemstats.xml into your product manager, and you should be all set.

Link items with [item]Item name[/item].
The first time the item is loaded might take some time, as it fetches info from allakhazam.com. From then on it will be cached in the database, and should load instantly.

Are you going to release your package?

i need to get my test board up and running, since i have this install on my production site currently. once i get the test board (basically just my production at 3.5.3 minus itemstats) then i can work on packaging it up and releasing it.

I'll get in touch with you before I release it, prolly have you check it out.

[edit]

Now I dunno if I'll release mine as its own, we'll talk, I'm debating just rewriting the akz parser the right way.

That would be because the formatted itemtag is included in the count of how many chars to show. I simply went with showing the whole post and then limited the number of news items on my front page.

ahh nice works now thx for all the help sparkz

It all seems to be working OK. I had an issue, but uploading the modified files and emptying the database table as mentioned in this thread fixed that problem.

However, the icons won't display. I get a red X inside a box where the Icon is supposed to show. Would anyone happen to know why that might be?

Thanks!

I'm having the same problem with no images in the mouseover popup. If anyone figures this out, please post the fix here, I'll do the same.

I get:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: handle_bbcode_item() in /home/miratos/public_html/forum/includes/class_bbcode.php on line 1219

In vBulletin 3.5.3

Does anyone else get this? It was working in 3.5.1 & 2

Still noone got an idea as to how to make a button for this, so users can easely use this feature with a button, like with the quote button?

Other than that, perfect mod

1 last problem, when editing a post with links in it the tags gets removed and the link gets made to just link to the item on alakhazam, im guessing this has something to do with automatic links parsing, but i cant seem to find where i can permanently disable that in the ACP, so any other help on that ?

I get the same type of problem, some of them even have a </span> added to them. I need to know how to make this stop. :tired:
