WoW: Die Todeskrallen

It has been a long time since I wrote about my World of Warcraft characters here. I leveled my priest to 70 and changed server and faction soon afterwards.
At the moment I'm playing a Warlock and a Druid. My guild is raiding Karazhan, if we manage to get 10 people togehter ;).
And now, some pictures.
clickable links for the wow forums

It looks like Blizzard isn't going to enable Links in their forums again. They were first disabled after a bug in flash player was discovered. Since then, no new links can be posted. You are forced to copy and paste links to the address bar.
I wrote a greasemonkey script to make links clickable again. Since I thought Blizzard was going to enable links sooner or later, I didn't publish it until now.
You can get the WoW Forums clickable links script at userscripts.org.
Minor tweaks

I tweaked a few things here and there. For example
- Trackbacks should work again.
- Gravatars are available now. I'll probably release the sourcecode for this soon.
- I made a few bugfixes behind the curtains, like a new version of the spaw editor and file uploads finally work again.
- I'm currently working on a new release candidate for yabs, the software that powers this site. Maybe you'll see a update soon, but don't count on it.
php basic auth

PHP basic auth is a small collection of tools to handle user logins without a database. The users are saved in an apache-compatible htpasswd file. Logins and user verifications are handle with 3 small functions. There is an example how to use it inside the archive.
It won't be able to handle thousands of users, but it works well for smaller projects that don't want to use a SQL database.
IT is licensed under the GPLv2+.
Download php basic auth (8 KB).
shelter from a blizzard
Monday, 7. April 2008 18:09 - daniel - World of Warcraft - 0 Comments
For quite some time the World of Warcraft forums include a interceptor to display a warning if you leave the official forums. This has been done to protect the user from keyloggers (and not only the users, some blues got keylogged too :D). No idea if this helps anyone but for me it became really annoying having to click two times to follow a links (not even to mention waiting for the interceptor page to load).
Until now I was using the Shelter from a Blizzard script for Greasemonkey by NeonGoat. But that script hat some problems with URLs that include & and was generally not that well coded. Therefore I reworked the script to parse the URLs correctly and only replace the onclick event if it present.
You can get the Shelter from a Blizzard (reworked) script at userscripts.org.
