WoW - World of Warcraft Tooltips

[stfox100]

I think further back in this post, that this is mentioned, but it is a long post to absorb everything.
Many hosts now make it mandatory to have folders, ( or directories ),  set to 755, not 777, it will create an error. Same goes for files. Files must be set to 644, ( there are some exceptions), but this is the norm.

hi,
thank you very much Garou I tested what you said, but nothing changes, I'll take my chances with the wowhead site. I'll keep you informed.

Is there any way of changing the font color when using

Code Select Expand

[wow]Lightbringer Faceguard[/wow]

Code Select Expand

[url=http://www.wowhead.com/?item=30987]Lightbringer Faceguard[/url]
I know that this does the trick, but I don't like having to find the url myself

[Garou]

Not really as the quality color is a huge part of what this mod is about.

The one way I can think of to get around it would be to remove a bit of code from /wow/wowhead_linker.js

Code Select Expand

el.addClass('q'+$('quality',data).attr('id'))

That would remove the quality color from all item links though. Also I haven't tested it but looking at the code it should work.

[rfirevtre]

That worked like a charm, thank you very much

Hi there !

Will it be updated for RC3?

[Garou]

It works just fine on RC3 with the same potential issues and fixes in the first post of this thread. I just never got around to updating the status

[rfirevtre]

The [wow]Runed Cardinal Ruby[/wow] suddenly stopped working on my forums, I haven't changed anything in a couple of days and it worked just fine then. Linking an item still works and creates a tooltip. Are anyone else having this problem?

[dreadk]

Hi,

I recently upgraded my forum to RC3 and installed the latest version of this mod (Previous version worked perfectly). However, with RC3 and the new version it wasn't linking correctly. I figured it'd been a few years since I cleaned out my database so I reinstalled a fresh RC3 and tried the mod. I get the same results though

Demo To Issue: http://www.therisenguild.net/index.php?topic=13286.0

I installed the alternate directory on the host server, I also chmod'd correctly (Again, this worked BEFORE the RC3 Update).

If any assistance can be given it would be much appreciated.

[Garou]

dreadk, I'm pretty sure that its a server setting someplace, probably in the php.ini. Ive got it working on several servers but on one of my test servers (running xampp lite on a USB stick on a vista machine), it works just like it is on your server. I'm trying to track it down.

rfirevtre, are other items working? It would be odd that one item wouldn't work properly unless its a typo. Have you tried have you tried [wow]30987[/wow]? either way It is working fine for me.

[rfirevtre]

No, other items aren't working either. I have tried:

Code Select Expand

[wow]Lightbringer Faceguard[/wow]
[wow]30987[/wow]
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=30987
[url=http://www.wowhead.com/?item=30987]Lightbringer Faceguard[/url]
Only the two last ones worked and created a tooltip. I'm not sure if the permissions have been messed up or something, seems weird it suddenly stopped working without me changing anything on the forums. You can see what happens on my forum here: *link deleted*

[Garou]

Yep that is the same issue dreadk is having and Ive been able to confirm on one of my servers. As I said in the other post if it works on some servers and not others then its a server setting I just have to track down which one.

Hey Garou- I thought i'd jump on here and tell you that mine has also stopped working unless it's linked using the wowhead method. Is it possible that wowhead changed the layout/format of their XML? The problem seems to coincide with when they posted the noblegarden blurb...

[Garou]

I think I have found a partial answer. On the one test server I was having  problems with the script I had to turn curl off. I dont know if there is a flawed version out there someplace or some other extension is conflicting with curl or what. It does work fine with fopen on and curl off. Ill do more research to see if I can find out why there is an issue with curl on some servers.

Find your php.ini file (if you dont have direct access to it you may need to contact your host)

Find...

Code Select Expand

allow_url_fopen

Make sure it says...

Code Select Expand

allow_url_fopen = On

Then find...

Code Select Expand

extension=php_curl.dll

and change to...

Code Select Expand

;extension=php_curl.dll

[rfirevtre]

Unfortunately my host won't allow me access to php.ini nor will they change anything in there. Was kind of hoping for another solution if one exists.

[dreadk]

Just want to throw it out there the wowhead issue has been showing up in other types of forums as well. Clearly they changed something on their end

Hello, I have been having some of the problems on here related to parsing. The item was showing, and was semi formatted (square brackets and bold on the forum) however did not have the tooltip and when clicked gave a parse error. I looked around and found another mod that noted that the link system on wowhead had changed, after looking around for the right file I managed to fix it for me at least. I am by no means an expert in programming, hell, I don't even understand half the stuff in the script, I just looked for the little bits that made sense. Anyway, for those that it *may* help.

wow/wowhead_wrapper.php

Code Select Expand

$url = "http://www.wowhead.com/?item=".urlencode(addslashes($_GET['item']))."&xml";

replace with

Code Select Expand

$url = "http://www.wowhead.com/item=".urlencode(addslashes($_GET['item']))."&xml";

Was just the removal of the "?" that was hindering my installation, as I said before, I am not clued up in this stuff, nor am I 100% sure that it is what is wrong with anyone else reporting parse issues. Just thought I would drop this off as it's been annoying me for the last few hours ^^

Edit: If this was posted earlier and I missed it, sorry. Been up for a while.

[dreadk]

Removing the ? worked for my forum as well. Good pick up

[rfirevtre]

That worked on both of my forums as well, thanks

[Garou]

Yep that's the change I made in the mod and should take care of it. Ive updated the mod here and posted the same thing at the Wowhead forums
