Version 4.0-beta1 Released!

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.
