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.

Any advice on how to get this to work with names, as I highly doubt my users are going to take the time or effort to look up the correct Blizzard Item ID Number.

Anyone have any advice on this issue? I'd greatly appreciate it!

Hmm..can get it to work on my index.php, but not on my vb.

The only item that works is Copper Ore..the rest wont load...im not joking! Copper Ore, works a charm. REally nice. You edit the post and change ''ore'' to ''bar'' and it just dont like it. Clickable plain black text.

Bloody hell.

Alright, lets clear this ALL up right now.

This mod that Sparkz had posted nearly two years ago is 100% out-of-date and DOES NOT display any of the items post patch 2.0.x.

If you want an updated version of Itemstats, please go to http://itemstats.free.fr/e107_plugin...php?content.22 . Here you will find two .rar files that you need to download and implement into your site. Follow the directions and you should be fine. If you have any issues, contact their support.

Can anyone shed some light on this?


Edit: I was close to getting http://itemstats.free.fr/news.php working, but It seemed that every single Item I had to click on before it would fetch that info from alakazam. Is that normal behaviour? Is there any way to simply mass import all the info at once?


If I'm making no sense I apologise, been trying to figure this out for hours now

It has to cache the data into your database first. There is no way to mass import all of the data. After it has been cached, that item will no longer take any time to load.

Shane, thank you for posting this link. I upgraded my forum to the newer 1.5.5 version to see if it would help with the sockets displaying properly. (getting broken image boxes.)

I checked the FAQ and then found someone had posted a comment of how to resolved this. I tried their line revisions, but they didn't work for me.

Anyone else out there having this issue with sockets giving broken images in the mouse over?


EDIT: I found this fix for broken socket images on the EQDKP site:

Hope it can help someone else with the problem.
