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.

damn i really want to use this but liek i said i get a white page im confused if there are files to edit cuz it says follow the Readmes in the DOCS file i tryed to find the code in phpbb but isnt it suppose to work with VBB?? I really want to use this if any of the previous installers could help on how it is installed.

Well I'll tell you what I did step by step, maybe it can help you get it working to some degree.

Step 1) Download the files needed (A very good start)
Step 2) Unzip the contents of the itemstats 1.2.zip into your forum ROOT directory (ie http://your.site.tld/forum/itemstats).
Step 3) Copy the vb_itemstats.php into your newly uploaded itemstats folder.
Step 4) 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>

Step 5) Go to your admin Control Panel and upload the product itemstats.xml into your Product Manager.

Now before it works you need to obviously set up the config file to point to your database where the cache items and things can be stored. So your config.php should look like this (obviously with your own info):

<?php

// The location and extension type for the Icon store.
define('ICON_STORE_LOCATION', 'http://wow.allakhazam.com/images/icons/');
define('ICON_EXTENSION', '.png');

// Database config
define('dbhost', 'localhost');
define('dbname', 'itemdb');
define('dbuser', 'user');
define('dbpass', 'pass');
define('item_cache_table', 'item_cache');

?>

Then you need to make sure the table actualy exists in your DB and if not, you can run that SQL to create it:

CREATE TABLE `item_cache` (
  `item_name` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
  `item_link` varchar(100) default NULL,
  `item_color` varchar(20) NOT NULL default '',
  `item_icon` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
  `item_html` text NOT NULL,
  UNIQUE KEY `item_name` (`item_name`),
  FULLTEXT KEY `item_html` (`item_html`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

I'm still trying to work out why the icons are not showing so when I do, I'll be sure to post it here.. hope this helps you get it working.

thanks grants im sure i didnt that but ill try again and see. Just in his install directions he said follow the DOC files for install so there is no files to be edited???? do u have to CHMOD any folders or anything cuz when i do [item]Item name[/item]. then the screen goes white now if u click on the post i made nothin apears just white.

Im such a idiot lol i got it to work. had my pass and user flipped around. But ya wonder if there is a way to download all the images and place them on ur own server. Or if there is Pic packs out

[Grant]

Well like I said before, from what I can see, the wrong link to the icons has been hard coded into it somwhere and I cant find it yet.

This worked for me:

Go to your replacement variable manager.
Add a new variable replacement, and in the "Search for text" field, put:

http://wow.allakhazam.com/templates/wow

In the "Replace with text" field, put:

http://wow.allakhazam.com

I got all the images and saved them to my own server works like a charm if u care to download the image pack i uploaded it to here. You can rip all images from the DVD or CD as well
