After almost a year in development, numerous setbacks and delays, the Wowhead Tooltips Management Script is now available for purchase in the store for a mere $25 USD. It does everything that has been promised since development on it began back in February, plus a lot of added features. I will continue to develop the script to make sure it stays up to date in parallel with the main script.

While the initial plan was to release the management script as a free addon to Wowhead Tooltips, events have transpired that have caused me to force the script to be purchased. I figure this is better than charging money for the main script, something I do not want to do! Think of it as a $25 donation, and you get "Wowhead Tooltips Supporter" status and a management script as a genuine thank you from me!

In order to access the store you must have signed up for an account on the support forums.

Hello again everyone! Your eyes are not deceiving you, I am still alive!

This post is to inform my loyal friends that version 4.3 has been released (finally, lol) and is available for download! This version has been a long time in development, and has 5 new modules, along with tons of fixes, upgrades, etc. You can see the full release notes here, I hope you enjoy it! Also, I am going to be closing all of the support threads relating to pre-4.3, because more than likely a lot of the issues have been fixed, and I really don't have time to go through each one. Please feel free to post any new threads relating to version 4.3!

Unfortunately, I also bring bad news. Because of my current working status (aka I'm not because of my foot) it is becoming harder and harder to pay for the VPS that runs this site, and all of its resources. I am unable to supplement my income in other ways because of the extreme limitations put on me by my foot and the doctors treating it. Therefore, I am (again) asking for your help. Any donations you can make to help offset the costs will help to keep this project of mine going! I have been playing around with the idea of having to charge money for use of the script, but I REALLY don't want to do that. Hopefully, once things with my foot have resolved so will my financial situation, but at this point I honestly have no idea when that will be. So anyways, if you would like to donate you can do so via the ChipIn widget to your right, or by going here. All donations go directly to keeping the web server running!

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.

Changes/Additions

• 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.

Upgrade Procedure

Simply overwrite ./includes/wowhead_enchant.php and ./table_scheme.sql with the ones in the zip file and you're all set. You will want to delete (drop) the SQL tables if they already exist.

Files to Overwrite

• ./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.

Upgrade Procedure

Simply overwrite ./includes/wowhead_enchant.php with the one in the zip file and you're all set.

Upgrade Procedure

Simply overwrite ./includes/wowhead_spell.php with the one in the zip file and you're all set.

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.
