World of Warcraft MMO-Database Linking · **Released**: 01-07-2011

I would like to share with you a very easy edit to allow you to link MMO-Database items to your forum with tool tips. With using this edit you can do the following.

Link items with correct item color
Drop links to items in your post and they will auto parse after you submit your post
Item tooltips

Note: You must have "Automatically parse links in text" checked when posting

Install

In your admin panel click on: Styles & Templates -> Style Manager

Under the style that you want to edit click the drop down and choose "Edit Templates"

Find "headinclude" in the template list and double click it.

Find

Code:

<meta name="generator" content="vBulletin {vb:raw vboptions.templateversion}" />

and below it add the MMO-Database code

MMO-Database Code:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://db.mmo-champion.com/tt.js"></script>

Now save and go create a test post.

Post example:

Code:

I just got a new http://db.mmo-champion.com/i/34995/brutal-gladiators-chopper and its really awesome

Important! You must now remove the trailing "/" at the end of the item's URL when you post it. If not it will no longer auto change the name and color for you. Something changed in the java code they use.

Make sure to press F5 to refresh your browser to see the changes take place.

Very cool, I'm using a similar addon and it's a resource hog as it loads on every page regardless if it is needed or not. I think this has to do with putting the code within header. Is there a way around this?

Depends on the MOD really. But using the header can help a bit.

Very very cool.

Is this possible to use for wowhead.com also? I have users that frequent both websites (I personally am a fan of mmo-champion.com)

It only seems to work for me when I do a preview of the post. After I actually post it, then URLs are just URLs, they do not change or give you a tooltip.

Any thoughts?

You can do wowhead, but it requires BBCode. It doesn't work as easy as the MMO Champion hack.

After you make the post it might not show up right away. You can sometimes just press F5 to refresh the page and it will work. Or just leave the post and come back.

The way that you are doing things, using the full mmo link, will work exactly the same with wowhead.com

You can put the url to wowheads power.js file and post the wowhead links (http://www.wowhead.com/item=44094)

Looks like I have been corrected

Thanks for the info.

is there any way to modify it to show custom items from private server database?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
