Improvements to wow-armory plugin + Linkbacks + Styles

Friday, February 27th, 2009

I’ve made some improvements to the wow-armory plugin:

Talents: You can now display your talent build. This option can be disabled per widget. You will see a link to your Talent in the Armory, displayed as “X / Y / Z”, where X, Y, and Z are the points spent in your First, second and third tree respectively. I’m not sure if the Armory will change to show your Dual-specs after patch 3.1, but I can change this if it does. Also, you’ll see the icon for your spec – if you have more talents in “Beast Mastery”, for example, you’ll see that icon.

Linkbacks: I have added an option to display a link back to my site. I debated for awhile how I can help get the word out on my addons, and this was, I believe, the best solution. This is completely optional, and it should default to “No”, so no one will show any links unless they choose to enable the option. Both the wow-armory and wow-guild plugin have this feature. You can turn on the linkbacks on a per-widget basis, or within shortcodes using linkback="1"

The link looks like this: powered_by

Shortcodes: You can use the shortcode:

Character portrait
of -US or EU
Level

You must have at least the char, realm, and realmtype specified.

Future Plans

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

I’ve been planning to build a new, clean Wordpress Theme from scratch to use for my Blog for awhile… I think I’m going to spend some time bringing that to fruition soon.
I know there are already tons of Themes out there, but none of them really fit with how I want the site to look… as it stands right now, things are more than a little cluttered, and hard to find. Hopefully, I’ll come up with something better.
Also, I’ve started working on re-coding my LeaveMeAlone Addon to use LibDataBroker. Whenever I finally get that finished, I’ll post the finished version here.

Rebuild

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

Yes, I know that I haven’t posted anything worthwhile in a long time… I’ve been busy.

I fully intend to start adding some relevent posts sometime in the near future.  In an effort to give me  a little push in that direction, I’ve changed themes, cleaned up some of the existing content, and tried to make things a little nicer around here.

Hopefully, I’ll be able to keep up with posting again…
