Support
[hr]value[/hr]I use my released mods daily, if I find an issue with them or add features for myself I will release updates. If there are significant bugs or simple feature requests I will do my best to release fixes. Some of my mods rely on fetching data from 3rd party websites, due to the unreliable results, my mods will require users to troubleshoot for themselves if they find the addon is not working for them specifically. I am offering my personal mods that work ok for me for you to use, I am sorry I do not have time to troubleshoot many user specific issues. Thank you for your understanding.

I upgraded from a previous version where I had inserted some kind of code, I think, but I don't remember what the code was.

[Gryphon]

Look for $wowchar_menu in your posbit or turn off automatic insert in the options.

Love this mod! I added it to the postbit and it works fine. However, the alliance/horde images arent being displayed. The site is www.mmopoint.com It just has text that says alliance or horde. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

[Gryphon]

Upload the images to your specific styles misc folder.

Installed this, and it works fine, except I came up with an error when using the following syntax for a character

EU|The+Sha'tar|Alliance|Qialynna
Which renders the following link
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sh...;ar&n=Qialynna
(note the decapitalisation of the realm name.)

The actual link by searching for the character on the armory comes up as http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sh...tar&n=Qialynna

However enter %27 instead of ' doesn't produce the required result (I just get the armory message 'an error has occured')

Otherwise good job, very smooth!

I have an interesting problem - The characters show up fine in postbit, but dont show in profiles, instead on profiles I just get the text- Anyone know how to fix this?

[Cei]

I was in the boat with the other people who know absolutely nothing about php code and when they went to put it into the postbit failed and had no idea on how to or where to.

Some extra information to help you - he literally means put the text $wowchar or whatever it was where you want it, and no other text. The code is that one word thing with the $ sign infront of it.

Also, I don't know if this is true in all cases, but for me I had to try putting it after multiple things and it only showed up sometimes. I believe that if you put it after something like "reputation" and you have reputation turned off, it turns this off also. Try putting it after something you know exists on your postbit already.

Hmm, I will have to look into that. I am on realm Mal'Ganis and haven't had any issue.

I can't get it to show up in the postbit menu,

I've added $wowchar_menu to it, tried it on multiple places, but it just won't show (and yes i turned the auto insert off. With auto insert on it doesn't work eather, tough i'm using Vbulleting 3.6.8..

What part is supposed to be replacing the $wowchar_menu var?

[Gryphon]

The drop menu should appear wherever you place $wowchar_menu. I am running several boards on 3.6.8 and it is working ok. I am unsure why this is happening for some people. Without some dissection and troubleshooting from the user, I am not sure what I can do to help.
