New in this release is the addition of the armory and guild modules. They will display a tooltip based on character/guild information from WoW’s Armory.

The backbone for the armory and guild modules is based on code from WoW Armory Tooltips. The code is heavily modified to update for armory changes, as well as modifications so that it will integrate into the script seamlessly.

Any bugs you found can be posted here or by e-mailing me.

You can download the latest version here for the universal parser, or here for the Joomla parser.

The former host of TechTV’s The Screen Savers has a USTREAM feed where he talks about all things technology. Check it out below.

This release fixes a couple of issues discussed here as well as some minor tweaks to the overall code. You can download it here.

As some of you may know I am the developer of a PHP class that will turn BBCode tags into links that Wowhead’s power.js can use to generate a tooltip.  It has been in development for over a year, and has become quite popular.  The script itself has its own website located here.  It is based off of ItemStats, except that it does much more than ItemStats ever did.  Read below for more features.

• Supports items, item icons, quests, spells, achievements, NPC’s, itemsets, craftable items (displays reagents), and profiles from Wowhead.
• Supports all languages currently supported by Wowhead (English, French, German, Spanish, and Russian).
• Support for PHP version 4.x and 5.x.
• Uses a MySQL database to avoid long page load times and excessive queries to Wowhead.
• Armory tooltips are currently in beta release.
• Guild tooltips (grabbed from the armory) coming soon as well.
• Forums/CMS supported:
  • phpBB 3.x
  • Board3 phpBB3 Portal
  • phpBB3 Portal
  • SMF (Simple Machines Forum) v1.x
  • Joomla! 1.x via a custom plugin.
  • PHP Fusion v7
  • PHP Nuke v8
  • WikkaWiki
  • Wordpress via a custom plugin
  • If you would like a different implementation please e-mail me.

To learn more about the script head over to its site.

Welcome to the new home for crackpot.us.  Due to financial circumstances I was unable to renew crackpot.us when it came up for renewal and it was then purchased by a holding company.  Therefore, given the new domain I figured that it was time for a new design.  To save myself the hassle of redesigning the site and all that comes with it, I have decided to use Wordpress for my CMS.  Let me know what you think about the design.

Later guys,
