How to Add WoWDigger Characters To Your Forums

[Rushster]

To allow WoWDigger character sheets in your forums use the following for Vbulletin. Other forums will probably have something similar to this.

1. Goto BB Code Manager in the Admincp...
2. Click Add new BB Code
3. In the title field add something like WoWDigger Character
4. In the replacement field add <script src="http://wowdigger.com/widgets/character/id/{param}"></script>
5. In the example field type...
6. In the description add Direct link to your character in the WoWdiggger.com database!
7.Set the Use field to No
8. Submit this new BB Code

To show the character on your page use [ char ]Your character id on WoWDigger[ /char ] (No spaces in the char tags though)

This will then display like this....

For novices, like me, that want to enable WoWDigger Profles on a PhPBB 3.0 board, log into your Admin Control Panel (ACP). Click on the Posting tab. Click on BBCodes link, on the left had side (first option under the Messages heading).

In the BBCode Usage box, I typed:
{NUMBER}

In the HTML replacement box, I changed the line that Rush provided above from:
<script src="http://wowdigger.com/widgets/character/id/{param}"></script>

to:
<script src="http://wowdigger.com/widgets/character/id/{NUMBER}"></script>

I did this because, by default (at least on my PhPBB 3.0 board), the {parm} token was not defined.

I hope this helps other "semi-technical, at best" players that somehow found themselves managing a guild forum. I may come back and add a link to this working my guild forums later. I need to clean up my WoWDigger profile. As you can see here, I probably have more gear sets than Rush and the other developers anticipated:

Rush, thanks for your post above. I had no idea that I could do this until I read your post. Cheers.

Lol. Awesome. I have never used phBB so this is very helpful guide. Thanks loads for adding that zzGreg and do post a link when you can. Always cool to check out other sites using the tools. You may also want to check this WoWDigger page (http://wowdigger.com/tools), nice tools for your guild and also this page (http://www.worldofwar.net/?p=tools) for even more tools :)

Rush and others,

Here is one way that I hope other knowledge players that I raid with will use the WowDigger Outfitter tool to help other players that are not quite meeting their potential and thereby help our overall PvE progression:
