Support
[hr]value[/hr]I use my released mods daily, if I find an issue with them or add features for myself I will release updates. If there are significant bugs or simple feature requests I will do my best to release fixes. Some of my mods rely on fetching data from 3rd party websites, due to the unreliable results, my mods will require users to troubleshoot for themselves if they find the addon is not working for them specifically. I am offering my personal mods that work ok for me for you to use, I am sorry I do not have time to troubleshoot many user specific issues. Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you for the update, I am glad it is working ok for you.

Thanks for the mod, installed. It would be great if we can make the person's character(s) only display in the postbit if the post is in a certain forum.

Added option

For some reason when I submit Dark+Iron it changes the + to it's code %2b and gives an error.. I believe this is the same error as the guy above.

Try just entering plain text, Dark Iron, it is urlencoded later by the plugin.

[jdunsworth]

Actually.. that works great for this specific addon but then breaks your Raid Calendar since it isn't in the correct format.

[Gryphon]

Well the raid calendar is by someone else, however, I am surprised that it doesn't work for that.

*Edit: I looked at his code and it appears there is a discrepency in his code.

Try editing the event calendar options and include the + in the server choice there.

-----
Or, open the event calendar product xml and on line 744 change:

PHP Code:

$xml = parse_wowarmory("http://" . $armory . "/character-sheet.xml?r=" . $vbulletin->options['wow_server'] . "&n=" . urlencode(utf8_encode($character))); 


to:

PHP Code:

$xml = parse_wowarmory("http://" . $armory . "/character-sheet.xml?r=" . urlencode($vbulletin->options['wow_server']) . "&n=" . urlencode(utf8_encode($character)));

I've got this installed, and the postbit portion is working; however, there seems to be a problem with the Armory links. When clicking on the drop-down menu of a character, I get the following message:

Not Found

The requested URL /forums/<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: gwc_wowchar_url -->http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml was not found on this server.

With the URL showing in the address bar as:

http://www.mydomain.com/forums/%3C!--%20BEGIN%20TEMPLATE:%20gwc_wowchar_url%20--%3Ehttp://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Hyjal&n=Fred%3C!--%20END%20TEMPLATE:%20gwc_wowchar_url%20--%3E

Any ideas?

This is on vB 3.6.8.

Thanks!

[Eneswar]
