I noticed a bit of an annoyance when trying to use Allakhazam as the item links in GuildBank. Our guild uses AK median prices to determine item points, and I wanted a click on an item in GB to link to Alla, not Thott. Cue my PHP & Perl background -- I came up with a regexp that modifies the link search text. This basically removes the "of the XX", "of Sta/Int/Agi", etc. from the item name when used in the search link to Alla:

Code: Select all

preg_replace('/\sof\s(the|)(\s|)(Frozen|Arcane|Fiery|Nature|Healing|Holy|Shadow|Spirit|Intellect|Strength|Stamina|Agility|Eagle|Whale|Owl|Monkey|Bear|Falcon|Wolf|Tiger|Gorilla|Boar|Power|Marksmanship|Defense|Concentration|Regeneration|(.*Resistance)).*$/','',$row['item_name'])

Place that code on line 148 of guildbank.php (it replaces the $row['item_name'] bit), so the file will read:

Code: Select all

    // Item texture and quantity column
    echo '    <td class="'.$stripe_class.'"><div class="item">'."\n";

    $itmlinktext = preg_replace('/\sof\s(the|)(\s|)(Frozen|Arcane|Fiery|Nature|Healing|Holy|Shadow|Spirit|Intellect|Strength|Stamina|Agility|Eagle|Whale|Owl|Monkey|Bear|Falcon|Wolf|Tiger|Gorilla|Boar|Power|Marksmanship|Defense|Concentration|Regeneration|(.*Resistance)).*$/','',$row['item_name']);
    echo '<a href="'.$itemlink[$roster_conf['roster_lang']].urlencode(utf8_decode($itmlinktext)).'" target="_itemlink">'."\n".
        '      <img src="'.$roster_conf['interface_url'].$item_texture.'.'.$roster_conf['img_suffix'].'" class="icon"'.' alt="'.utf8_decode($row['item_name']).'" /></a>';
    if( ($row['total_quantity'] > 1) && ($itemRow['item_parent'] != 'bags') )
            echo '<span class="quant">'.$row['total_quantity'].'</span>';
 

Hopefully the developers will find a way to integrate this into the next release =)

This would need to be non-locale dependant to work well, or we'd have to keep a list of all these names in the locale files, which is a pain to keep updated

Err,

Look in the <roster>/addons/guildbank/conf.php file. You can just flip a bit, and searches go to Alakazaam.

Code: Select all

////// ItemLink Site
// 1=Thottbot,
// 2=Allakhazam for 'enUS' and blasc.de for 'deDE'.
$searchtype = 1;

Hello, I think, the link should no longer go on the items name and the search-function of the called site.

There is the items id, which is unique. This could be used for linking directly to the item:
http://www.buffed.de/?i=12031
and
http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=12031
leads to the same icon - german and english...

In the database is the entry
12031:0:1110:1755127302

So the first number before the ":" should be used.

However, it seems, Thottbot uses different ids :-(

Greets,
