WoW Itemstats

[DarkCloud14]

Hi timtheenchantor,

at the moment the only way to clear the cache table completly is to do it with e.g. phpmyadmin
but you can also delete not found items in Admin->Forum Maintenance->Delete not found WoW Items
If you use another Theme you may have to switch to the smf default theme as it could be that it doesn't show up in your theme..

@Stephanius:
Great to hear that it works now. If you really want to donate something checkout http://www.darkcloud14.de/forum/paypal.html
Thanks in advance

[timtheenchantor]

I do not have that option in Forum Maintenance.

[DarkCloud14]

even not if you set your Theme to default smf theme??
did you install it manually?? You got any error while installing the package?
Do you have set your language to english? If nothing helps can try this link:
http://<yourforumurl>/index.php?action=cleanwowitems you must be admin to do this..

[timtheenchantor]

did you install it manually?? No. Automatic, through the package manager.
You got any error while installing the package? No. The package installed successfully.
Do you have set your language to english? If nothing helps can try this link:
http://<yourforumurl>/index.php?action=cleanwowitems you must be admin to do this..: Maintenance completed and it still shows items are busy or cannot be retrieved..from WoWhead or allakazam.

[DarkCloud14]

Serious that you can't see the link in Maintenance..
However I've tested your item and searched on wowhead.com directly and it doesn't exist there!
Brooch of Nature's Fury doesn't exist but there's Brooch of Nature's Mercy if this isn't the item you
want please contact wowhead.com or wow.allakhazam.com as it doesn't exist there too..

Please before you post again about items that doesn't work make sure they really exist and you
can find them with the search function of wowhead.com or wow.allakhazam.com
cause if it doesn't exist there I can't do anything as it isn't my fault..

[timtheenchantor]

Point taken. Thank you for your assistance, sometimes those mistakes are made - even by the most experienced 

[DarkCloud14]

Hehe no problem I'm glad that I could help you

Maybe I'm not doing this right

I think I've installed WoW Itemstats but it doesn't appear to be working at all.

What I did:

1. Go to this webpage http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=247

2. Download the mod from this link http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=download;mod=247;id=55576 as found on the webpage in step 1

3. Click the radio button next to the text "smf_itemstats_v_1_25_9_2.tar.gz (102KB) [32]"

4. Choose 1.1.5 from the drop down box and clicked the Submit button.

5. Followed all instructions therein.

Problems:

1. There's a section about the file add_settings.php, something to the effect that you can't execute it standalone. What other way would there be to execute it? I ended up just running the row insertion queries by hand. Seems fine.

2. I tried to test WoW Itemstats by using the [wowitem] tags, but nothing happens. For example, if I attempt to post this text "[wowitem]foobar[/wowitem]", the resulting post comes back as "[wowitem]foobar[/wowitem]". It's like SMF doesn't even know that the wowitem tag exists.

3. I noticed in an early post in this thread that there's something that has to be done to Settings.php, but what needs to be done is never mentioned anywhere in any readme anywhere... is there missing or unwritten documentation for this mod?

[DarkCloud14]

Do you really need to install the mod manually?? Doesn't it work if you use the SMF buildin package manager??

[lexicalunit]

Pft! I rechecked all the instructions for installing the mod and I noticed a missing diff in Subs.php. I had forgotten to do this step:

-   global $txt, $scripturl, $context, $modSettings, $user_info;
+   global $txt, $scripturl, $sourcedir, $context, $modSettings, $user_info;

So, my bad!

Also, I don't think I need to install it manually, but I was completely unaware that manual wasn't the only option. Since I seem to be unable (read: too stupid) to figure out how to do this, would you mind posting a link to non-manual (automatic?) install instructions?

[DarkCloud14]

This link/button to get manual instructions on howto install a mod manually is new and added
automatically from SMF. I can't control if it's displayed or not
So I think you're new to SMF as you didn't know the package manager
Checkout this section of the SMF online manual: http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?board=49.0;sort=subject

I think they've added the manual install instruction button for people who has problems with package manager
and don't know how to read the xml files etc. which are included in every package..

If possible you may try to use the package manager and install the mod again as this will make live easier for future updates.
To do this you must remove the changes of the files which come with SMF e.g. Subs.php ..
Before you may backup the current files, that way you don't have to modify them again if package manager
shouldn't work for any reason..

If SMF WoW Itemstats is the only mod you've installed please overwrite the files with the original ones which comes with the SMF installation instead of undoing the changes as package manager is really sensitive if it comes to searching for parts in a file which it should change.. if there's just a small change as e.g. a whitespace at the end of line where in it's search string isn't one it already won't be able to install.. OK this is just a simple example but I think you may better understand now what I mean..

Do anyone know if it is possible to add Age of Conan itemstat to this smf mod ?

DarkCloud -

(a) thank you so very much for the SMF port of this!

(b) do you think you'll be updating for 2.0? 

[DarkCloud14]

@aspenique,

I've planned to do so but I can't tell you when I'm able to do that as I'm too busy at the moment..

@tmyrdal
Planned to make smf itemstats more flexible in a future version so it'll be easier to write own
parsers etc. for other games but this will take some time either and I can't tell you when it's done..

[MisterPuk]

I know its early yet, but anyone tried this with 1.1.6?

[DarkCloud14]

I know its early yet, but anyone tried this with 1.1.6?

With the new version 1.25.9.3 it'll work.

[mimland]

I've tried to update wow-items to the 1.1.6 compatible verstion but I keep getting an error when it tests the files before installation. ./Sources/Subs.php Test failed Not really sure what the problem is but I know it is not working to ignore it and install it anyway. Would appreciate some help with this.

[DarkCloud14]

Before you installed SMF 1.1.6 or updated your forum to SMF 1.1.6 did you uninstall wow-itemstats?
You should always uninstall any mod before updating the forum software..

How can i make itemstats work for Russian wowhead?
Links are differs, but item number for same item in different languages is the same.

I am using 1.1.6 SMF

As example:
hxxp:ru.wowhead.com/?item=28309 [nonactive]
hxxp:www.wowhead.com/?item=28309 [nonactive]

Thanks))
