Introduction:
This Mod provides several ways to add World of Warcraft tooltips to your site using the Wowhead Power Java script.

Features:
Users can enter any item url from www.Wowhead.com and will see a tooltip with the item's statistics hover over the post.

When clicked on, users will be taken to Wowhead's page for the item.

There are several ways tooltips can be entered using by links from wowhead.com

For instance the Lightbringer Faceguard can be entered in a post as...
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=30987

Alternatively BBS codes can be used to make links easier to read...
Lightbringer Faceguard
Would be entered like...
[url=http://www.wowhead.com/?item=30987]Lightbringer Faceguard[/url]

A new wow BBC code and button has also been added allowing your users to enter...
[wow]Item Name[/wow]
or
[wow]Item Number[/wow]

The text will display in the post with the text in items quality color and the tool tip.

Note: Quests, Spells, and Achievements are not currently supported using the wow bbc only direct links.

Install:
To install, simply upload the entire zip file to the package manager (Admin -> Package Manager -> Download New Packages).

Your site must have libcurl or fopen in order for this mod to work.

To install the WoW - Tooltips mod on custom themes...

Copy the ./themes/default/images/bbc/wow.gif to the /images/bbc of your theme directory.

Open the themes ./index.template.php
add...
<script src="http://www.wowhead.com/widgets/power.js"></script>
<script src="wow/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="wow/wowhead_linker.js"></script></script>
before...
</head>

Open the themes /languages/Modifications.english.php
and add...
$txt['wow'] = 'WoW Tooltip';>
before...
</?>

Note: Some custom themes deviate from the standard index.template.php and may look like...
      // ]]></script>';

   echo '
</head>
replace with...
      // ]]></script>

<script src="http://www.wowhead.com/widgets/power.js"></script>
<script src="wow/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="wow/wowhead_linker.js"></script> ';

   echo '
</head>

If you are using 1.1.x you will also have to modify your themes ./Post.template.php
add...
'wow' => array('code' => 'wow', 'before' => '[wow]', 'after' => '[/wow]', 'description' => $txt['wow']),
before...
'flash' => array('code' => 'flash', 'before' => '[flash=200,200]', 'after' => '[/flash]', 'description' => $txt[433]),


Known Issues:
For some users, if your forum is not in the root directory for your website this mod may not work correctly. Copying the wow folder found in yoursite.com/yourforum/wow to yoursite.com/wow will fix this in many cases.

Some hosts for security reasons will require you to set the file permissions (chmod) for the wow folder and the files within to 644 or rw-r-r.

Having Search Engine Friendly URLs turned on can cause the mod to fail.

Many web-hosts are using a utility known as ModSecurity to help protect the sites they host from hackers. Unfortunately ModSecurity is made overly secure and often can create false positives for many web programs including this one. You have have to contact your host and have them read http://blog.modsecurity.org/2007/02/handling-false.html. It will help them to create a personal rule for ModSecurity that recognizes the files in the wow folder as safe.

Credits:
