Question Is the Kunena parser stripping out module functionality code?

I was able to add the wowhead tooltip functionality by adding those four lines of scripting txt to an area inside view.php

If you head over to www.jerkstoreguild.com and check out the forums, i have a sample post where the wowhead tooltip thing WORKS when you view the post itself, but then for some reason when you are looking at the forum list of topics it messes up the topic view.

Would anyone care to set eyes on that and give thoughts?

Ok, I had to go into flat.php and right before the -- favorutie -- section I changed the call to CKunenaLink... I just duplicated the message title bit so that it wouldn't try to preview the message body and therefore break with the wowhead stuff.

make sense?

Wow, really a great work Cwizardtx.

It's exactly the same, what I need to do - unfortunately, not for WoW but I would require it for Aion.

So, I can follow your second step regarding CKunenaLink - but, I'm not sure what I should add into view.php.

Of course, I am already able to see a tooltip with adding a normal link into a post. But, I noticed on your website, that your users just need to use "[*item]stark ametrine[/item]" for the tooltip.

So, I would really appreciate it, if you could provide me some further details. I think the difference between WoWHead and AionArmory shouldn't be that huge ( www.aionarmory.com/syndication.aspx ).

Thanks in advance!

Wow, great job, Cwizardtx! That's exactly how it should look!

I'm still a bit confused about the entire process, so I'd like to clarify with a step-by-step?

The first step is to open components\com_kunena\template\default_ex\view.php and add the following code:

xillibit said the second step involved adding a new bbcode into the kunena parser.

Cwixardtx said the second step involved opening components\com_kunena\template\default_ex\flat.php and making a change right before <!--Favourite--> on line 230? I'm sorry, can you please clarify exactly what you did?

Also, can a dev please confirm the best practice?

I'm sorry, I'm not a coder. I hate to ask for a step-by-step, but I'm really confused and my users are anxious to get this functionality. I'm really desperate for help, here.

Can anyone please give some specifics? I can't figure this out.

To clarify, this is what I'm trying to accomplish.

All I'm looking to do is create a mouseover tooltip whenever a Wowhead link is posted.

So, for example, if you saw this link:

Mousing over it would automatically produce a tooltip that would look like the following:



If you want to see it live and in action on a Kunena forum, I've found examples of it to be working on these websites:

• desecration.us/index.php?option=com_kune...nc=view&catid=5&id=3
• rabbleguild.com/index.php?option=com_kun...=view&catid=5&id=231
• dragonsshadow.org/index.php?option=com_k...c=view&catid=2&id=11
• fairplay.sharknet.hu/index.php?option=co...limit=6&limitstart=6

If I simply place this code: into components\com_kunena\template\default_ex\view.php and make a post with a Wowhead link, I get a whitescreen referencing that line of code and a parse error. Which made me understand that is why Xillibit said a new custom BBCode would need to be loaded into the Kunena parser (would that be, specifically, components\com_kunena\lib\kunena.parser.php ?).

I found this link on how to create custom BBCode in Kunena:

gworldz.com/index.php?option=com_content...x&catid=29&Itemid=62

But I'm still not sure how to specifically make the needed changes, or if this is even what I need to do.

I've spent two months combing this website and Google searches, annoying admins with PMs and help request posts. I'm at the end of my rope.

Can anyone please help me?
