Warhammer WarDB Item Stats Now Available
I am rolling out code changes right now to make WarDB item links available in the forums. Currently, this functionality works only in the forums and requires that you know the WarDB item URL.
The way this is implemented is due to the way the WarDB code that they have made available works. We intend to provide a system that is more compatible with our existing itemstats later. Primarily we need a system that works with just the item name to be fully compatible. Their code also does not allow us to open the item link in a new window. Which would be preferred. However, if you shift click the link your browser will do this for you.
This functionality is useful though and it is available. So now you can create item hovers like this:
Also works for spells:
We chose to implement this functionality using the entire item URL because it is easier for people to copy the entire URL than just the item ID.
We're looking into issues with the hover position.
Enjoy!

This is a great feature and much appreciated!
One thing...the stat box seems to be hovering really far away from the actual pic of the item. About 1/2 a page up in my case.

Yeah. I've seen that happen myself. Unfortunately, it's WoWDB's issue to fix, not much we can do from here. We'll keep our ear to the ground though for info on it if they update things.

I played a bit with the distance. It seems to be a problem where the distance away is proprtional to the height the hover is from the top of the page. Sorta wierd. If you scrolll up or down sometimes it goes away.

I appreciate that you guys are recognizing WAR as one of the next big MMOs and adding support for it immediately. There are many different guild sites like this and as a paid subscriber, it's nice to feel comfortable with your choice and not wish you'd gone with someone else. Keep up the good work.

Stephen i will provide you with as much information as is released on all the Mods/UI/XML and such. They still have and NDA on the test servers. And the UI/Web stuff is on those servers, not the regular beta servers.
