Now when you say "Custom HTML page" , do you mean
Vba- >Add Page- > Page type of ??

Template Page or HTML File page ?

Yes, I put in HTML File page.

Also, im updating the plugin . xml file to include the above plugin and an option to enable/disable the specific hook if you do not use VbAdvanced CMPS

My plugin didnt work as intended. there was to many issues elsewhere to make it work using the hooks supplied by vbadvanced CMPS.

You instead can enable this for HTML Included pages only by adding

                                require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php'); 
                                $tmp_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin);
                                $home[$modid]['content'] =  $tmp_parser->do_parse($home[$modid]['content'], 1,0,1,1,0,0);

at line 321 of the /includes/vba_cmps_include_top.php file.

You still will have issues with any javascript included in the HTML file though.

I've been using gitem stats for awhile, but was excited to see this one. Am i completely misunderstanding something or do your users have to know the wowhead item number in order to make this work? With gitem stats you just used [item]name[/item] and it would give you a mouseover tooltip/link. with this, it appears that you have to include the actual wowhead item number when trying to create the link. is that right? if so...is there any way to make this mimic gitem in that regard? i'd hate to expect my users to go and look the item number up everytime they want to post something.

any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks. =)

This works with [item]Spiteblade[/item]

What it does is similar to how the itemstats works.

you post an item with the item tag, [item]foo[/item]

The first thing it does is it looks up the name foo , in the database (the database stores the item name, the item quality and the item ID). It reads the item ID and quality and writes the URL.

If it cannot find the item name there, it checks wowhead to see if the site exists. The URL to a wowhead item is pretty simple, http://www.wowhead.com/?item=[ItemName]&xml , for example http://www.wowhead.com/?item=Nightseye&xml

I just read the item ID from the xml and write the URL to match whats required by the wowhead javascript http://www.wowhead.com/?powered

I've found that my users would rather post the item link

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=33585

when trying to list their "wish" lists and whatnot...

so, i updated the plugin

strange. not for me it doesn't. it creates a link....and if you click on it, it works. however, there is no mouseover tooltip. maybe i'm doing something wrong. there aren't really any instructions. do i have to do anything other than import the product? any thoughts? (yes, i just installed the newest version). thanks.

Install the Updated XML file (0.3.5a)
Due to this bug, http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/proje...?issueid=24174

The product name of my template was changed from what it should be to vbulletin and when i exported the product last, the template wasnt included in the export.
