I apologize if this has been posted already, I looked around and saw nothing.
I've been playing with adding Wowhead rollovers to our guild's forums, which runs PHPBB 2.0.22. Previously for years we've been using Itemstats, which got the job done, but I wanted the ability to have rollovers for mob abilities and achievements that were linked. I added in the "PoweredbyWowhead" utility which accomplishes that, unfortunately I've not been able to find a way to link items while also showing their quality (epic, legendary, etc) in the text like Itemstats did. This got me thinking to how much I enjoyed the utility here on EJ, where one can simple post a URL to an ability or item and it formats into a rollover. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to accomplish this in PBPBB, or if there was a specific forum mod allowing this use.
If not, does anyone have experiences with using the Wowhead rollover links in PHPBB2 and posting a piece of text such as:
[item=37172]Gloves of Glistening Runes[.item] (formatted correctly of course)
and having it turn into
[Gloves of Glistening Runes] such as EJ does it, with the text colored for the item's rarity. On our site, the item links, but the wowhead rollover links don't add a colored text for the items rarity. Could anyone familiar with this mod and, or the system that EJ uses for its links, add some insight to this issue?
