WoW Character BBCode · **Released**: 02-01-2008

This is a continuation of the project, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=160418 . I have made several modifications to the original authors code and several have asked for my modifications.

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

- changed many items to OO code.
- Added new debug log facility ( install https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...hreadid=176899 )
- Added ability to paste a wow armory URL and have it create an appropriate character link (i.e. paste http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...man&n=Geophery and it creates [char=Uldaman]Geophery[/char]
0.4.7a

0.4.3 Fixed issue with rebuilding post cache.
0.4.2 Added option to show/hide realm if a default realm is set.
0.4.1 Fixed an issue if the character doesnt have armory data, Only change is in functions_wowcharcode.php file.
0.4
- All Character stat text are now phrases. you will find a new Phrase Type in the Phrase Manager ( WoW BBCode Phrases )
- Added default realm option so one does not need to use the [char=server] option when specifying characters on own realm.
- Customized the stat display per class and on some specs (such as feral v.s. resto druids). see an example at http://www.dramaloot.com/forums/showthread.php?p=19271

0.3
- Armory Caching works for both US and EU armorys.
- Removed un-used files.
- Put the majority of the codes HTML creation as templates and use vbulletins ajax.php and hooks.
- Added options for default locale (armory) to use (currently EU and US armories).
- Added option to disable caching of the Armory (i use it to test armory retrieval)
- 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.
- Remove the clientscript/phparmory/config.php file. This isnt needed.
- 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.

See a working example at http://www.dramaloot.com/index.php?id=officer_cl (This is a vbadvanced custom page using the BBCode page type).

If you don't have cURL, this mod won't work unless you can get your host to install cURL for your domain/server.

un-installed and re-installed, and corrected settings again.
cleared the cache

I have also tried:

[char=US-Argent Dawn]Tolas[/char]
[char=US-Argent+Dawn]Tolas[/char]
[char=Argent Dawn]Tolas[/char]
[char=Argent+Dawn]Tolas[/char]
[char]Tolas[/char] (tried both ways of setting default server in options, also tried leaving it blank)

I am stumped

Also having the same problem. Everything works if I add a character from a realm that doesnt have a space in the name but our realm is "Twisting Nether" and we also get the something else is wrong.

----------------------------

sorry... pls ignore.. found the fix at post 155. Have changed the code and is now working

many thanks

This should have been fixed in the 0.4.9 update but obviously it wasnt. it's been re-uploaded as 0.4.9a
