Because of this and the original authors lack of updating the original modification, I have decided to upload this package for all to use.
All credit goes to the original author(s) of the utility as i have only cleaned up the code and packaged it for easy usage.
WARNING!
This is very beta at this time. I have added the product now to force myself to update and maintain the plugin and to share it with the rest of my fellow World of Warcraft webmasters
Installation
Uninstall your existing WoW Char Code installation. I have changed the product ID itself and it may not update everything correctly.
Remove the clientscript/ajax_tooltip and clientscript/phparmory folders if they exist
Upload the contents of the "Upload" Folder to the ROOT directory of your forums (for example, if you have your forums installed in /home/mydir/public_html/forums , you would unzip into that folder.)
Import the product/product-WoWCharBBCode-?.??.xml file

Added ability to specify what armory the character / realm you would like, see usage notes below.
0.2
Armory Caching never actually worked properly, this should now be fixed.
Remove the includes/functions_wow3bbcode.php file. This has been replaced by a plugin.

Major updates to phparmory.php
Minor Plugin changes + code cleanup.
ToDo
New tooltip javascript
New character sheet.
Create easy to modify interface for character stats to be displayed in tooltip.
Usage
Using the character code is easy enough,
[char]CHARACTER[/char] if default realm option is set and character links is on same realm.
For characters not on the same realm as the default,
[char=SERVER]CHARACTER[/char]
For example,
[char=Vek'nilash]Azaril[/char]
Or, if you want to link a character profile from another locale (i.e. EU realms) , you simply add EU- before the server name.
[char=EU-Vek'nilash]Azaril[/char]
The same thing applies to linking US realm characters from a EU default forum.
How hard is it to add extra melee stats to the tooltip? I added melee haste and melee hit for my Paladin but they are not using any CSS or anything else so they are just white text from the code no formatting. I would like to be able to add different stats if at all possible.
Fair enough, Have you released your raid Progression module on any forums other then your own if so do you have a link of where a package or at least some instructions are available?
