Welcome to Tim's World - a Worldcrafting, Writing, and Experimentation Blog, and home of the wow-armory Wordpress Plugin!

wow-armory 7.0 update

Whew! The wow-armory plugin is finally working for Wordpress 2.8!

Big thanks go out to Ginchen for testing and fixing parts of the code to make it work – and make it work better!

Here’s a list of the changes that are in this release:

  • Improved logic for grabbing and caching data from the Armory.
  • Sorted Equipment Lists
  • Improved Widget control screen:
    • Option to customize Widget Title – use %NAME% to display Character’s name.
    • Option to show Professions and/or Achievement Points as Progress Bars or Text.
    • 3D Model Preview can be refreshed while changing appearence so you can see what you’re changes are.

I still have a pretty extensive ‘to-do’ list, thanks to the contest, so I’ll be working on getting those items finished up for the next release.

As always, please direct any questions or comments to the wow-guild Plugin Page. Thanks!

Working on it…

Blah. I spent most of the day fixing my site, and working on the wow-armory plugin to work with 2.8.
I seem to have it mostly working… but it’s not 100% yet…
Anyone using 2.8 who also has some good PHPing skills want to take a look at my latest version and test it out/fix some bugs? ;)

Maintenence

Upgrading my Wordpress installation to 2.8 has caused some issues with my site that I am trying to resolve. Please bear with me. Also, WoWArmory does not appear to work with 2.8 yet… I’m working on that…

Congratulations Contest Winners!

I wrote a script to randomly mix up the entries and prizes and ran it today to find the winners. It was setup so that each person could only win one prize, to make it somewhat fair. I’ve contacted all 4 winners, so as soon as they respond I’ll be able to send out the prizes!

Upcoming wow-armory Release

If you’ve been looking at my Sidebar, you might notice a few differences in what I have displayed vs what is in the actual release… this is because I’m working a pretty major update to the wow-armory Plugin – which I hope to have ready shortly after my Contest ends.

Many of the upcoming changes are directly from suggestions or requests submitted by the people who use the plugin – I try very hard to accomadate all of my users, so if there’s anything that you would like to see changed, or if you want to use the plugin but see something that doesn’t look like it would work quite right, let me know! I can do anything*!

I hope you are all looking forward to this release! Also, I’m looking for some vict- er, volunteers to Beta Test this next release (and possibly future releases). If you like to live dangerously, drop me a comment or send me a message!

* The Author cannot actually do anything – just type code with some level of competence to make it seem that way.

See a list of changes after the cut.

Excuse the mess…

Unhappy with my own attempt at Theme Creation, and after discovering this Awesome Free Theme: Imagination, I decided to go ahead an overhaul my Blog design.
This means that several parts of my layout ended up broken, but I’m working hard to get everything back in place. Bear with me, please!

There are 4 STARS!!

I happened to notice today that my rating on Wordpresses site has dropped down to 4 Stars! It had been at 5 Stars for awhile… what happened?
If there’s anything that you don’t like or you feel is missing with the plugin, please feel free to let me know and I can try to work changes into the next release… and if you comment your suggestion in this thread by June 8th, you might even win a prize!
I try to be easily approachable, so hopefully I can help out anyone who ranked less than 5 ;)
