Feedback on myddo lite tool latest version

 * I have actually been thinking about doing that. I now have all item clicks redirected to the wiki.  The only problem is that un-named items (+3 Item of Something or Other) takes the user to a "Page Doesn't Exist" page.  I'll try to find a workaround for it, something maybe like splitting the item name up and giving the user the option to look up just the prefix or just the suffix of what-have-you.  But that is something that will take some time to perfect.  Wish me luck... Ague (Contributions &bull; Message) 20:45, April 9, 2012 (EDT)

Thanks for this guys... It looks really good. As far as the dropdown issue, it should be fixed now. I have a couple other ideas that I'm going to be adding to the site, so keep your eyes peeled. Ague (Contributions &bull; Message) 12:44, April 9, 2012 (EDT)


 * You're talking about MediaWiki:Noarticletext changing.. Hrrmmm.. I could set a hidden flag in there for you if you want.. Just tell me what you want.. Perhaps a specific hidden XML tag? Some kind of meta-tag somehow.. I've not completed those classes in school yet, so not 100% sure what might work (Hoping to take PHP in the Fall.. I have web graphics and JavaScript lined up for this summer). ShoeMaker (Contributions &bull; Message) 22:09, April 9, 2012 (EDT)


 * Done, verbatim, end of file:

I will tell you it is not on it's own line though to prevent unwanted excess line feeds. ShoeMaker (Contributions &bull; Message) 22:28, April 9, 2012 (EDT)


 * Hrmm.. The # in # you are copy pasting (which is why it is there until I can make a button the you click and it inserts it for you) should be replaced with the depth of the post you are making (Normally, previous post +1, unless you are not responding to the previous post, in which case it is whichever post you are responding to +1, unless it is the first post, in which case use "0"). The breakdown would likely be a ReGex search of something like "(\+\d)? (\w) [switch for item based on slot] of (\w)" although I'm not sure exactly how the switch would work; I might assume it to be a loooong (helm|hat|bandana|...|outfit|...|heavy armor|...|dagger|...) type thing with all the possible item types..  Or perhaps set it up as a case before it does the ReGex to define it has Helm, Ring(1|2), Belt, Armor, Weapon(1|2), etc.. and then (...|...|...) based on slot..

 * I'm throwing together a quick example PHP code for you to make it easier to wrap your head around it. Gimme a few minutes. Ague (Contributions &bull; Message) 23:15, April 9, 2012 (EDT)


 * is confirmed to have gotten parsed out. YourDDO - Item Not Found  is confirmed to not be parsed out. ShoeMaker (Contributions &bull; Message) 09:27, April 10, 2012 (EDT)


 * It's a good start, you probably will not want to filter the +6 of of the suffix like you currently have for seeker. It would be cool if we could create a form that your tool could use that would create a "virtual" page of the wiki and use the appropriate templates.. hrmm.. let me think about how this can be accomplished and I'll let you know what I come up with.

 * I've been designing web apps for years Shade and the number one thing that got me in my early years was not planning for the dumb stuff. How many people who might use the tool play while drinking their favorite alcoholic beverage?  Probably more than you and I think.  And leave it to drunk people to click stuff.  Regardless, working around something that is rather trivial could (and likely will) save time of patrollers and sysops from having to flag and delete erroneous pages.

Suggestion for "Character Stats" Tool
You are now linking the items in characters' inventory. That's nice. You could also link the character sheet concepts to wiki articles, e.g., Sorcerer, Strength, Damage Reduction, Ki; basically, everything. --Cru121 (Contributions &bull; Message) 04:01, May 23, 2012 (EDT)


 * The only problem with that is that the actual words (Str, Dex, BAB, etc) are all hard coded into the image.  Ague (Contributions &bull; Message) 18:45, May 24, 2012 (EDT)


 * Imagemap a possibility? ShoeMaker (Contributions &bull; ) 22:17, May 24, 2012 (EDT)


 * I am not really a big fan of using imagemaps. I'll add the idea to my list of things to do, but it's not going to be a high priority just yet.  I have my guild roster project that I'm tweaking right now, and another project for YourDDO that's in the development phase right now. Ague (Contributions &bull; Message) 16:13, May 25, 2012 (EDT)
