World of Warcraft [item]-bbcode.

This is in reply to this thread.

Download the product-itemstats.xml, vb_itemstats.php and 'itemstats_1.2.zip'.
Unzip itemstats_1.2.zip to your forum-root (ie http://your.site.tld/forum/itemstats), and follow the basic setup instructions in doc/config.txt.

Copy vb_itemstats.php into your itemstats-folder.

Paste the following two lines into the bottom of your headinclude-template

<link rel="stylesheet" href="itemstats/templates/itemstats.css" type="text/css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="itemstats/overlib/overlib.js"><!-- overLIB (c) Erik Bosrup --></script>

Lastly, upload the product-itemstats.xml into your product manager, and you should be all set.

Link items with [item]Item name[/item].
The first time the item is loaded might take some time, as it fetches info from allakhazam.com. From then on it will be cached in the database, and should load instantly.

This is just not true.
It works well with vbadvanced. You just have to adjust a couple of paths, like specified in this post.

i appreciate the repackaging of the mod
i was in the process of writing this for my site until i found this

my only problem has nothing to do with sparks work but with the original authors work...and i posted that on his site

he has some terrible xml parsing routine in that code, its so much easier to read the xml into an array and then extract the values you want...which is actually how you'd go about doing it normally...especially with the talk at akz about reworking their xml output to a standard format.

i had a script that did all the hover over jazz and database caching if you passed it an item name...just needed to figure out how to hook it into vb, so thx sparks!

Im having some probs with this sweet mod...

For some reason my items text is garbled up, not like in a box like your guys but in another shape that messes up the text

Take a peek on this ti see what I mean, the red circle shows the garbled text and the pink lines shows an item prob, dunno if that?s ok..

Running vBulletin Version 3.5.0 & vBadvanced CMPS v2.0.0

And im purely a copy/paste coder

Yeah, I know. Itemstats has a bit of ugliness in it, but I don't have much free time to code anymore, so I just aimed for something that works.

Are you going to release your package?

Just a wild guess here, but is BBCode enabled in your news module?
Oh, and as I didn't answer that in your last post - this is just as much of a bbcode as any of the other built in bbcodes. If you took the time to look at the code, you'd see this.

In any case, I'm sorry if it doesn't work for you. I can't really imagine what else could be the problem, as it works perfectly in my own vBadvanced.

Nm about my post, seems that it?s only some items that make that wierd error, rest is working fine also on Vba frontpage

Only I would loooove a button for this so my users can use it easely, but that doesn?t seem to work

[Martinjepsen]

ok i found a problem :

Warning: Plugins are currently globally disabled via config.php.

then i found :

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

in the bottom of config.php

now cometing out that line, will make my vBadvanced not load at all, while having it at disable it wont show item links on vBadvanced, while item links ork fine on the forum ...
