Wowhead Tooltips » tooltip script http://www.wowhead-tooltips.com It's not a bug, it's a design feature. Fri, 03 Sep 2010 12:03:29 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc Version 4.0-beta2 Released! http://www.wowhead-tooltips.com/2010/04/09/version-4-0-beta2-released/ http://www.wowhead-tooltips.com/2010/04/09/version-4-0-beta2-released/#comments Sat, 10 Apr 2010 03:54:56 +0000 crackpot http://www.wowhead-tooltips.com/?p=594 Tonight marks the release of version 4.0-beta2. The primary reason for this release is to fix the recent changes that came to Wowhead's URL syntax (they removed the "?" from the URL). Also included in this release is a fix for those of you that have encountered problems with the installation script errantly adding slashes ("\") to the contents of config.php. This is not actually the fault of the installation script, but rather the configuration of your PHP installation. Your host most likely has magic_quotes_gpc enabled, which is ridiculous considering that setting has been deprecated in later versions. But I digress...To upgrade simply overwrite ./includes/wowhead.php and ./install/index.php and then rerun the installation script, if you were unable to install the script using beta 1.

Finally, I wanted to mention that I have begun putting together a Wiki which will be the new home for the documentation regarding the script. There still are quite a few pages that I need to write, but I am making progress. All of the installation instructions have been successfully migrated over and I am currently working on the documentation for each module. Stay tuned and I hope to have it all up and running before too long.

Version 4.0-beta1 Released! http://www.wowhead-tooltips.com/2010/03/19/version-4-0-beta1-released/ http://www.wowhead-tooltips.com/2010/03/19/version-4-0-beta1-released/#comments Sat, 20 Mar 2010 01:46:23 +0000 crackpot http://www.wowhead-tooltips.com/?p=587 I am proud to announce the release of version 4.0-beta1 of Wowhead Tooltips. This release includes a major overhaul in how the installation of the script is handled and also how the configuration is handled. This release marks the initial introduction of the install script and the configuration class, which pulls the configuration data from MySQL and gives all of the various modules access to any config variables they require. In light of this all of the installation instructions for all software has been changed and you will need to follow the new instructions very closely.


Changes/Additions

There are quite a few changes in this release, but I will just try to mention the major ones.
  • File config.php now only holds version information and MySQL information. All other configuration options are now stored in the wowhead_config SQL table.
  • Introduction of a brand new installation script. Script is designed to configure MySQL (including creating the tables), and setting up the config to your specifications.
  • Changed how any module which accesses the Armory actually sends the queries according to a user suggestion.
  • Files armory.css and wowhead.css were moved to ./wowhead/css. This will make the installation easier to manage and add the possibility to create a CSS editor for those not proficient with it.
  • Installation instructions were changed to reflect the above change.

Upgrade Procedure

Given the massive amounts of change in this release you will be forced to overwrite ALL files and run the new installation script. Otherwise all sorts of issues could arise. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Please note that this is a BETA release. I have tested the installation script MANY times while writing it, and then afterwards during a long testing period. If you run into any problems with the installation script please post them here so I can get them fixed as soon as possible.]]>

Minor Version 3.7.3 Released! http://www.wowhead-tooltips.com/2010/01/21/minor-version-3-7-3-released/ http://www.wowhead-tooltips.com/2010/01/21/minor-version-3-7-3-released/#comments Fri, 22 Jan 2010 00:43:15 +0000 crackpot http://www.wowheadtooltips.com/?p=521 Minor Version 3.7.3 has been released to fix an issue related to the global for the database prefix. The only changed file was config.php so the upgrade procedure couldn't be any easier.


Files to Overwrite

All files are located relative to the wowhead folder.
  • ./config.php (be sure to edit it first)
  • ./includes/wowhead_cache.php (optional)

Upgrade Procedure

Simply edit ./config.php to your liking and reupload it to your site, ensuring that you overwrite the current copy. I would also suggest deleting your SQL tables. Optionally, you can overwrite ./includes/wowhead_cache.php to add a check to make sure the global WHP_DB_PREFIX exists before proceeding.

Version 3.7 Released! http://www.wowhead-tooltips.com/2010/01/08/version-3-7-released/ http://www.wowhead-tooltips.com/2010/01/08/version-3-7-released/#comments Fri, 08 Jan 2010 21:26:29 +0000 crackpot http://www.wowheadtooltips.com/?p=508 As promised, here is version 3.7 for your enjoyment. Lots of fixes, changes, and additions in this version. This version marks the initial release of the enchant module which will treat enchants similarly to craftables, to stop people from trying to use the craft module to work with enchants, which it won't. Also included in this release is the faction module, which took me quite some time to write. It is by no means perfect, but its a good start to get it tested in the real world and see how it does. The installation procedure has changed as well, so make sure you pay close attention to the upgrade section below. Hopefully, you guys (and gals) will enjoy it. If so, please consider donating or click the ads you see on the site. Also, consider adding your website to the site database.


Changes/Additions

  • Added the enchant module.
    • Enchants will now function similar to the craftable module.
    • Two new SQL tables were added to store this information in the cache.
  • Added the faction module.
    • Faction information is pulled from Wowhead and displayed in the tooltip.
    • Faction rewards are also pulled and displayed in a toggle, via an external PHP file ./external/faction.php.
    • SQL table created to store this new information.
  • Changed how the SQL tables are created.
    • Rather than having to run create_table.php, the script will automatically create the SQL tables when it detects that they are not currently in the database.
    • Make sure you run delete_tables.php so that the script can properly detect the lack of tables and create the new SQL structure. More on that below.
  • Removed JavaScript files no longer used by the script.
  • All config variables in config.php are now enclosed in double quotes (") to prevent escaping problems.

Upgrade

The proper way to upgrade to version 3.7 would be to simply do a complete reinstall. There were numerous changes to most of the files, so simply overwriting a few would not work. Also, the SQL table structure, along with how the tables are created have changed, so a full install is required. The SQL tables are now created automatically when the script first connects to SQL and does not find the tables. In light of this, you must run delete_tables.php to remove the SQL tables, so that the new table structure will be created. Do not report errors on the forums because you failed to delete your old tables so the new ones could be created. I will simply point you to this post.

Minor Version 3.6.8.1 Released! http://www.wowhead-tooltips.com/2009/12/30/minor-version-3-6-8-1-released/ http://www.wowhead-tooltips.com/2009/12/30/minor-version-3-6-8-1-released/#comments Thu, 31 Dec 2009 03:38:30 +0000 crackpot http://www.wowheadtooltips.com/?p=484 No major additions or fixes in this version just a small fix related to PHP in safe mode and the object module. See the upgrade procedure for more information.


Update Procedure

Simply overwrite the files listed below and you're all set. There is no need to recreate the MySQL tables, as there were no changes to the SQL table structure. All files are located relative to the wowhead folder.

  • ./includes/wowhead.php
  • ./includes/wowhead_object.php

Version 3.6.8 Released! http://www.wowhead-tooltips.com/2009/12/30/version-3-6-8-released/ http://www.wowhead-tooltips.com/2009/12/30/version-3-6-8-released/#comments Wed, 30 Dec 2009 17:10:08 +0000 crackpot http://www.wowheadtooltips.com/?p=482 It gives me great pleasure to release version 3.6.8 and finally (hopefully) put to rest some of the bugs that have been plaguing me lately.


Fixes/Additions

  • Completely removed all traces of the log module. Will return in version 4, which will be yet another complete rewrite.
  • Added object module. Functions the same as the quest or spell modules.
  • Changed how the SQL tables are handled to prevent the SQL issues that have been reported in the past.
  • Fixed issue with the recruit module not properly finding the talent breakdowns.
  • Numerous other small bug fixes and code clean up.

Upgrade Procedure

Given the numerous changes in this version, I would recommend doing a fresh install to clear out any of the bugs that may get overlooked otherwise. This includes replacing config.php, which has changed slightly. You don't necessarily need to run clear_table.php, but I would recommend clearing the cache.

Minor 3.6.7 Release! http://www.wowhead-tooltips.com/2009/12/23/minor-3-6-7-release/ http://www.wowhead-tooltips.com/2009/12/23/minor-3-6-7-release/#comments Wed, 23 Dec 2009 16:49:48 +0000 crackpot http://www.wowheadtooltips.com/?p=451

Fixes/Additions

  • Fixed NPC module not displaying the map properly when using a zone's ID.

Upgrade

This release only fixes one bug, so in order to upgrade all you need to do is overwrite ./includes/wowhead_npc.php and you're all set. If you haven't modified ./config.php to fix the $whp_modules array then that fix is also included.


Special Notes

Due to the fact that I really wanted to release the zones module I have put the log collector on hold for the time being. With that in mind, it is NOT yet finished, so DO NOT ENABLE IT IN config.php. It will not function properly, and would most likely cause errors and stop the script from functioning properly. It is not enabled by default, so at this time do not enable it, yet.
