World of Warcraft Wowhead Item tooltips for vBulletin

Instead of spamming his thread with xml files of this hack, i decided to post here so that people can take full advantage of it, get notices of updates, etc.


you can see examples of this in action at Itemlinks ! - Renegade Soldiers

It uses fsockopen to grab the item ID from wowhead, vbulletins built in XML parser to get the item ID and Quality of the item. It stores the item name, item ID and item quality (the three things it needs to make the tooltip) in a database (created during install). If you're currently using gItemStats, it will copy your existing itemstats database over to the new table during installation.
