not sure, it is still that way if you would like to take a look, if not no biggie

Sweede, just uploaded and installed your add-on ... unfortunately it doesn't works ... it shows only the BBCode button and the tags [item], but nothing, no colors, nothing ...

if you need t to check-out somethings i can give you an admin account onto my test board ...

edit. instead, the 0.5.1 version runs properly .... also the 0.5.1 runs with the 0.5.2 files so i think there is an issue in the .xml

Ok, fixed with 0.5.3

I use another product that allows me to store plugins on my local drive and edit them with a normal PHP Editor as php files. When i "Export" a product, it reads these php files and creates the XML file accordingly.

If there are any additional space after the closing ?> tag (or it is missing), it doesnt include that plugin, which has happened several times so far

OK it seems to be correct now ... edit: nvm it runs :P

upgraded to 5.4, just found a small issue i've settled into ACP 'disable underline' but the old tooltips are still underlined ...

Yes, but not until i can figure out how to get a non-english name via URL

for example.

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=Netherwind+Pants&xml works as you would expect.

In french though,
http://fr.wowhead.com/?item=16915
it is
Pantalon de vent du N?ant

which if you put that in the URL, doesnt work
http://fr.wowhead.com/?item=Pantalon...t+du+N?ant&xml

if you change the ? to e
http://fr.wowhead.com/?item=Pantalon...t+du+Neant&xml

it works as expected

Now the problem is translating the ? to e and the other hundreds of characters automatically. While i can build a translation map, that doesnt appear to be the most robust solution right now.

Also, there are some characters in languages that i can't figure out the correct character to use (for example, there is this funky B looking character in German).

I don't want to rely on users knowing the item ID every time, and I haven't added a way to specify locale to the item ID (i.e. [item=ES-12345]Spanish Item[/item] so you can change the displayed language in the tooltip itself.

This though, is easy and i'll get that implemented further in the week (Along with pasting wowhead URLs supporting the same mechanic).

For example, if your board is set to use French by default and someone puts something like..

[item=ES]Abrazo de Alanna[/item] (item is in spanish)
[item=US-13314]Alanna's Embrace[/item] (Item would be in english)
or pasting
http://de.wowhead.com/?item=13314 (item would be in german) ,

all 3 of those would be in their appropriate language

Installed and runs perfectly

May I make a suggestion? Is it possible to get the following format to be accepted: [item=35497]

Reason I ask is that I use the RSS feed of a popular Warcraft site and they use that sort of formating so I'm currently having to go in manually edit each item code etc.

If it's possible it'd be great, if not, no worries, just more work for me :P

[sweede]

i don't know if you can do that in bbcode..

but, i'll look and see what i can do.

Whats the RSS feed so i can review and test ?

[Danoxth]

It's MMO Champions feed, which you can find here

Cheers for the quick response
