WoW Itemstats

[3nrico]

First of all I want to thank you on making this great mod!

I use SMF 1.1.3 and manually added Itemstats to the smf files to get it to work.
It all works fine but there is one minor problem when posting item links...

When I post an item for the first time using the [ item][ /item] tags the link apears as a normal hyperlink with no color to signify the item quality and no mousover item info box.
Also it generates a link to the following file: forum/itemstats/updateitem.php?item=itemname

When I click that link it upgrades the link with the right color and also displays the mouseover box with item info and when someone else posts the same item it'll work correctly right away.

Is there a fix for this problem?

@rasm, before I add support for new sites like wowhead or Blizzards Armory I'll wait until next week then I'll end the following vote http://www.darkcloud14.de/forum/index.php?topic=107.0 and decide what to do..
So if you haven't voted yet please do it now cause the problem not only hold me back to add support for wowhead..

@3nrico, there are a few people who reported such a problem but I couldn't reproduce it yet. What did ya exactly do? Just create a new topic and posted one or how many item links?? So no there isn't a fix yet.

I'll bring an updated version tomorrow or on sunday which adds support for SMF 1.1.3
and uses another method to get the informations from allakhazam or blasc maybe it'll already fixes that problem..
And no since this is just a minor update there will be no support for wowhead.
If you want support for wowhead or other sites please go to the following site and
vote. Before you vote read the posts in there maybe they help you to decide what to vote.. http://www.darkcloud14.de/forum/index.php?topic=107.0

Good Morning.

I am completely aware that I am in a SMF based forum and I feel really dumb asking this because I am using phpbb. But I think the problem I am having is the not forum software. I have the mod installed and it works great! unfortunatly I am having issues with the way its being spaced. I am assuming its in the CSS. But I cannot find whats wrong. My overall_header.tpl the includes are properly in.

Can anyone explain or help me with this problem?

Hi Koljia, what exactly is your problem??
Or how should it look like?? Do you want that the tooltip looks more like the ones

i apologize for posting this phpBB question on this board, but this is the only place ive found that has active responses to this mod.

here is a link to my test post. hxxp:uncontrolled.fillodeos.com/viewtopic.php?t=21 [nonactive]

I am getting the appropriate color for items in my database, as seen in the first post.  but the overlay isn't coming up.  If you "view source" on the page, the html for the layover is there.  I dont know if this has something to do with the javascript call of the overlib() function.  It shouldnt be a browser error because i was able to view the mouseovers on the link in the post above.

also, my item database isnt automatically updated when a new item is posted, as noted in the second post.  only after the link is click will the item gain color and point to the correct allakazam page. any suggestions?

thanks in advance,
-Fillo

@fillo300zx, sorry I'm not at home at the moment and I can't really test much here..
I'll check your page out and maybe I can find out what's wrong..

[fillo300zx]

thanks darkcloud, i'll keep messing around while here at work until then.  maybe i'll think of something.

update: after comparing page source codes, my site is including an body tag in the arguement that is passed to overlib().  im trying to track down where this string is created so i can modify it.

updated again  : found the body tag, ditched it. same prob. foiled again

[fillo300zx]

got it working, i now have mouseover with itemstats using phpBB.  for reference, the problem was the overlib.js file, i changed this file with one found from curse-gaming that was specifically made for phpBB

link to the modhxxp:wow-en.curse-gaming.com/downloads/details/1719/?cpage=2 [nonactive]

i renamed the overlibmws.js to overlib.js and replaced the original in the itemstats folder on my server.

I still do not have the item_cache database auto-populating, but I can live without that for now. it will build as people create items and click them

[DarkCloud14]

Hmm that's serious, as far as I know the original itemstats or itemstats for phpBB should work with original overlib and not overlibmws...
As I don't use phpBB I can't help you with te auto-populationg thing sorry

[mikt]

is there anyway to use it in joomla and embedded smf as well?
If i install both my site is a bit empty (cannot redeclare error..)

Thanks!

[DarkCloud14]

Sorry at the moment it doesn't really work but I'm working on something so that at least
this redeclare error shouldn't happen again... (Using AJAX Tooltips )

But there won't be a version yet for Joomla! at least not from my version..

[DarkCloud14]

Ok for those who want to use SMF Itemstats with Joomla and the other itemstats version,
please checkout the following link: http://www.darkcloud14.de/forum/index.php?topic=115.0

It's just a temporary solution but at least it works..

Hi DC


First, let me say thanks for this great mod! I have been happily using this for over a year now.

When doing a clean install on SMF 1.1.3 with up-to-date German language pack, I noticed an error message when applying the patch to Admin.german.php and Help.german.php. It appears that somebody has revised these files and replaced ü by ü, etc. thus making the patch fail.

Here's the diff for wowitemstats-install_1_1_rc2-rc3-de.xml that remedied this problem for me.

Again, thanks for this high-quality mod!


Cheers, Andre

Hmpf they did it again -.- thanks for the information I'll take care in the next update.

Mod works great but I'm having one issue.  I have this and WOW Characters installed and both do the same minor quirck.  When I have the mouse of the item or characters the popup shows up at the top left of the page instead of next to the item or character.

My only thought is that one of the mods affected the other one.

And one other quick question.  Is there supposed to be a BBC button in the post screen for the itemstats?

[MoreBloodWine]

Not by default no but you can add one to the post.template.php file like I did...

Is it simple, for a guy with limited PHP knowledge?

Hey anjou check out this site maybe it'll help you

I've been trying a lot of stuff, and i've looked back at everything i've set up for it, and it somewhat seems to work... but the item always comes up in gray, and allakazhan says the item doesn't exist or the server is busy, and it always seems to come up with this.

Depends on your definition of limited, but with the right instructions anyone can do it. The way I have mine setup I have a button and everything... check out the pic below... all one has to do is click the wow item button and the "code" for linking items is entered...
