Add-On Releases - World of Warcraft Wowhead Item tooltips for vBulletin

** Discontinued thread https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=183035 for current thread in 3.8 modification areas.

Since Wowhead (and thottbot) have both released an easy method of adding item tips to your website.

http://www.wowhead.com/?forums&topic=3464&p=35822

I then created this mod to be able to easily add this functionality to any vbulletin installation without uploading external files.

The inspiration for this mod comes from https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=141177 , Gryphon gItemStats mod.

Instead of spamming his thread with xml files of this hack, i decided to post here so that people can take full advantage of it, get notices of updates, etc.


Changelog

• 0.7.5
  • Removed old vbulletin option
  • Updated URL
• 0.7.4
  • When Item ID is used without a piped option (i.e. [item=12345|lang]Item Name[/item] ) , the default language was never set and rendered all item tags after invalid
• 0.7.3
  • Added changes provided by sub_ubi, thanks

To Do

• Export functions from the init_startup hook so that it may be used in other scripts like EqDKP by including the global.php vbulletin file

I did a search for post cache in the 3.6 thread and can't find any relevant info? I'll probably reread the whole thing later on tonight just to double-check the answer isn't buried in there.

Just got done re-reading it now and this is the only relevant message: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...=7#post1441767

Not exactly a solution.

In the AdminCP, I see:

Local power.js
Enable this if you have the power.js file in your /forumroot/clientscript/ folder
Included in this packages Zip file

But, there is only a Product XML to download. Is this and old and irrelevant setting, or is there something missing that we need?

This may be related, but I do not get a pop-up when mousing over the generated item text.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Also, the link in the Product list regarding this Mod is still linked to the old thread. Might want to update that so people don't have to click on the link inside that thread to get to this one.

If I edit a post with an invalid item link, change nothing and save, the item link is magically working. It sounds to me like there is something wonky going on with the post cache.

Any ideas?

I will look in to this this tonight or this weekend, sorry for the long delays though.

you don't need/use that setting anymore

Is it possible to somehow enable the BBCode to be used on other pages, such as vBadvanced modules and custom pages? I imagine it would just be a small edit somewhere, since it is a BBCode. Thanks in advance!!

Any update on this?

[wowheadtooltips]

Not to steal his thunder but my script Wowhead Tooltips support vBulletin 4.0+, my support script runs it on version 4.0.3. Apologies if this is inappropriate. Wowhead Tooltips support every tooltip type currently supported by Wowhead itself, and it also generates its own tooltips from the Armory (US or EU) and other sources.

Any possibility of adding proper spell support in the future?

Uninstalled because you are not responding to questions.

Supported

You should really change that.

Installed wowheadtooltips's Modification and it works as it should and I can get support for it, unlike this Mod.

After struggling with this plugin, then the installation of Wowhead tooltips (BCMath was showing up as disabled even though it's enabled on my server), I decided to poke around at other options and found a surprisingly simple solution that requires no plugins or files to upload:

Grab the code to run the Wowhead's own script from here: http://www.wowhead.com/tooltips. Paste it into your header includes file.
Then create a new BBCode item like this: <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item={option}">{param}</a>

I hope someone else can put this to use and save themselves the time it took me to figure this all out.
