Highly configurable and for multiple characters! == Description == Basic features: * Displays armory informations for multiple World of Warcraft (WoW) characters in posts, pages and in the sidebar (multi widget support) * You can configure very detailed which informations were displayed for which character * EU and US realms are supported * Multiple language support is included * Wowhead tooltips via javascript were included * HTML code is cached to reduce the requests to the WoW armory * Default CSS style is included, but you can turn that off by option and use own CSS code to format the output Demo output page: http://www.das-motorrad-blog.de/meine-world-of-warcraft-charaktere/ Usage (it's so easy): 0. Configure the basic options of the plugin to your needs (don't forget to enter the localised names for the professions!) 1. Add a wow character in the plugin options (just enter EU or US realm and character name) 2. Configure what is displayed for that character (e.g. melee damage or spelldamage, achievements, reputation and so on) 3. Show that character sheet in a widget (add widget, select character) or in a post (via shortcode) 5. If you want to add another of your chars goto 1. :-) The plugin reads the informations from the armory (EU or US) and displayes it in a widget or in a post. The information from the armory is cached, if you configure that, so that we don't have to a request to the armory every click on your blog. The plugin also adds the wowhead javascript to show tooltips for items and achievments. Details on which information can be displayed with the current version if configured: * Basic character informations (name, race, level, image, guild, title, ...) * Basic stats (hp, mana, strength, agi, ...) * Resistances (arcane, fire, ...) * Melee damage (2h, 1h, dps, hit, crit, power, ...) * Range damage (damage, speed, dps, ...) * Spell damage (arcance, frost, ..., crit, ...) * Caster stats (+heal, manareg, haste, hit, penetration) * Defense (armor, def, dodge, parry, block, ...) * PvP (lifetime honorable kills, arena currency) * Titles (complete list of your titles) * Gear (all items you wear) * Professions (your profession skill) * Achievements (your last achievements) * Statistics (highest damage, damage total, ...) * Reputation (your positive reputations by all factions) * Date and time when the character in the armory was last updated All displayed informations were output localised like in the armory! This plugin is inspired by the wow-armory plugin, but I want to write an own armory plugin, 'cause I want a cache for the armory data, I don't wan't to install the PHP cURL extension and I want a highly configurable plugin for multiple purposes. So I put this plugin into the repository and I hope you can participate. Important: If you change the configuration don't forget to flush the cache. :) Languages: English, Deutsch **FOR THE HORDE!** Marc aka "raufaser" (EU/Blackmoore/Horde/Lost Prophets) == Installation == Just install the plugin and activate it. Then navigate to the plugin configuration page (you'll find it in the WordPress configuration menu) and do a basic setup. After setting up the correct path for caching, the output language for armory data and the localized strings for the profession, add a character by entering realm and charactername. If you entered all data correct and the character is found in the armory a preview is printed. Then configure what is displayed when the character is shown in a post or a page by selecting the checkboxes just as you need it. That is very usefull, because maybe if you are a tank you wont display your healing bonus. ;) If you want to display the character in your sidebar navigate to the widget menu and add the WoW character display widget to your sidebar. You can also add multiple widgets to the sidebar. Then choose a character to display and select what is displayed by clicking the checkboxes just as you need it. If you have problems, please respond here in the plugin repository or drop me an email. Feature requests and bug reports welcome! == Frequently Asked Questions == = How do I put a character sheet in a post? = Edit the post and type in the following shortcode: [wowcd character="yourcharname"] (yourcharname is an example, please use YOUR charactername) = Can I have more than one character sheet in my sidebar? = Yes, we can! WoW Character Display is a multi widget plugin. = I changed some options but the changes won't show? = Flush the cache please. = I got errors due to fsockopen or something like that? = Hm, that's a problem. On some servers PHP is configured not to load data from external servers. That's not my business please consult your provider to change that option if it's possible. = I got errors due to file_put_contents or something? = Maybe your selected caching directory is not writeable to the webserver. Connect via FTP and use "chown wwwrun.www" (or whatever your webserver uses as user and group) to ensure that the server can create files in that directory. If nothing helps try a "chmod 777" to grant full access for all. == Screenshots == 1. This screenshot show something of the configuration options. 2. This screeny shows how a character is added into the plugin. 3. This shows that you can configure very many display options for each character. 4. Here you see the cache status overview. 5. This is one WoW Character Display multi widget.
