 A while back I threw together a plugin/mambot that provided Itemstats functionality in Joomla. I decided to put it up here for download in case anyone ever needs that kind of thing. This mambot parses bbcode like tags to provide the Itemstats functionality in content items.
Wondering what Itemstats is?
Itemstats is a package that provides item lookups and neat World of Warcraft like popup windows for those items. There are modifications of it to work with PHPBB, EQDKP, and other popular packages. This Mambot brings that functionality to Joomla. See the screenshots section for what it looks like. Basically, you put an item in bbcode tags, like this: [item]Choker of Enlightenment[/item]. It then turns that item name into a link of the appropriate color depending on quality (for example, epic items will have a purple link). If you mouse over that link, it shows a little popup box with the item icon and statistics, as obtained from Allakhazam. Download it here. As always, if you have any trouble with it, send me a problem report . For more information, read on.
Install like any other Mambot / plugin. Don't forget to publish it! If the bot is not published, it will simply remove the [item] tags. This plugin was developer for personal use, so it has the following known issues: - It doesn't work if your joomla site is in a subfolder. Such as http://www.pragmaticutopia.com/joomla
- You'll need to tweak its CSS if your Joomla template is stepping on its toes. You'll know this is happening if the popup box is not black, or if the links aren't appropriately colored.
This plugin uses Overlib and Itemstats.
