What can this extension do?

Itemstats is a library that adds World of Warcraft item linking capabilities to a website. Itemstats is freely available from http://itemstats.free.fr and comes with standard integration options for several forum applications. Be sure to also check http://www.wowtooltips.com/ when Itemstats fails to work out of the box.

This extension allows Itemstats to integrate with MediaWiki. It adds two tags to the parser: "item" and "itemico".

Usage

Below is some example usage of the tags:

<item>Light-Collar of the Incarnate</item>

This will display a colored link that will display a detail info popup on mouseover. The detail information will be retrieved from a central database by Itemstats.

<itemico>Light-Collar of the Incarnate</itemico>

This will display the icon for the indicated item that will display a detail info popup on mouseover. The detail information will be retrieved from a central database by Itemstats.

Download instructions

Please copy and paste the code found below and place it in $IP/extension/itemstats/mediawiki_itemstats.php. Unpack the Itemstats package in the same directory. Note: $IP stands for the root directory of your MediaWiki installation, the same directory that holds LocalSettings.php.

Installation

To install this extension, add the following to LocalSettings.php:

#add configuration parameters here
#setup user rights here
require_once("$IP/extensions/itemstats/mediawiki_itemstats.php");

Code

<?php
/**
 * mediawiki_itemstats.php
 *
 * Extension for MediaWiki to understand the <item> and <itemico> tags
 * for embedding links to World of Warcraft items.
 * The latest version of this MediaWiki extension can be retrieved from
 * http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Itemstats
 *
 * Based on the code for Itemstats: http://itemstats.free.fr/

 *
 * INSTALLING
 *
 *  - Download the itemstats 1.5.5.1 version from http://itemstats.free.fr/
 *  - Unpack the file to the MediaWiki "extensions/itemstats/" directory.
 *  - Move this file ("mediawiki_itemstats.php") to the "extensions/itemstats" directory.
 *  - Download an iconpack from http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/guides.html?guide=502
 *  - Unpack the iconpack to the directory "extensions/itemstats/images/".
 *  - Edit "config.php" and modify the ICON_STORE_LOCATION to:
 *
 *       define('ICON_STORE_LOCATION', $wgScriptPath . '/extensions/itemstats/images/');
 *
 *  - Make sure you have a MySQL database set up for item caching; Itemstats
 *    will need a username and a password that allows it to create a table.
 *    This can also be done manually with:
 *
 *       CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `item_cache`
 *       (`item_name` varchar(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
 *       `item_id` varchar(100) DEFAULT '0',
 *       `item_lang` varchar(2) DEFAULT '',
 *       `item_link` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
 *       `item_color` varchar(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
 *       `item_icon` varchar(50) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
 *       `item_html` text NOT NULL,
 *       UNIQUE KEY `item_name` (`item_name`),
 *       FULLTEXT KEY `item_html` (`item_html`))
 *
 *  - Add the following line to MediaWiki's "LocalSettings.php" file:
 *
 *       require_once("$IP/extensions/itemstats/mediawiki_itemstats.php");
 *
 * And now you should be set to go!
 *
 * KNOWN BUGS:
 *  - On mouseover, a patch of white appears under the popup icon.
 *  - Itemstats can use an icon_lsize parameter passed to the getItemForDisplay
 *    function. Right now the parameter is ignored and the default value for
 *    the icon size will always be used.
