clickable links for the wow forums

Wednesday, 30. July 2008 13:33 - daniel - World of Warcraft - 2 Comments




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.



shelter from a blizzard

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.



Greasemonkey script to add wow.buffed.de links to wowhead pages

Sunday, 27. January 2008 11:36 - daniel - World of Warcraft - 3 Comments




I'm playing World of Warcraft with the English client on a German server, because the German translation is really crappy. Reading the english quest texts is no problem for me, but looking for a group can be thought if you don't know what the quest is called in German. Since I'm using wowhead to look up quest info all the time I wrote a little Greasemonkey script to add a link to info box on the right side to wow.buffed.de.

If I'm looking for a mob or a quest and want to know how it's called in German, I just click the link and land on the wow.buffed.de page about that mob or quest or whatever I was looking at.

You can get the wowhead to buffed links script at userscripts.org.

This is a search plug-in for the WoW Armory. It's based on the OpenSearch Specifications, therefore it should work with Firefox and Internet Explorer 7. This plug-in works with the latest version of the Armory.

You would think they would stop using Legolas since the game is 2 years old now. Yeah that is a Night Elf hunter, if you were wondering...
