Syndication

This guide is a walkthrough of how to link WOWDB items on your website, with built-in tooltips. What is a tooltip? A tooltip will display item facts in a little box that pops up in your browser. Clicking on the item link will direct users to a page with more detailed item information. Just follow this easy guide to getting these on your site.

Setting up Syndication

Syndicating content from WOWDB is simple. Follow this two-step process, and you're done.

• Put the following code into the HEAD section of the HTML document:
  <script src="http://www.wowdb.com/js/extooltips.js"></script>
• Your site is now ready for WOWDB syndication! Whenever you want to include an item tooltip in a news story, comment, or forum post, all you need to do is create a WOWDB link to the item.
  Here's some examples:
  Items: <a href="http://www.wowdb.com/item.aspx?id=29171">Earthwarden</a> (Earthwarden)
  Spells: <a href="http://www.wowdb.com/spell.aspx?id=45462">Plague Strike</a> (Plague Strike)
  Quests: <a href="http://www.wowdb.com/quest.aspx?id=1175">A Bump in the Road</a> (A Bump in the Road)
  Achievements: <a href="http://www.wowdb.com/achievement.aspx?id=277">'Tis the Season</a> ('Tis the Season)

Customizing Links

Links can be customized by applying a "class" attribute to the anchor tag. Here are some of the options we currently offer.

• Quality color: To apply the quality color to the item link, just add the class attribute with one of the following values: "r0" for Poor, "r1" for Common, "r2" for Uncommon, "r3" for Rare, "r4" for Epic, "r5" for Legendary, or "r6" for Artifact. For example:
  <a class="r4" href="http://www.wowdb.com/item.aspx?id=29171">Earthwarden</a>
• Auto label: If you would like your links to have the quality level and item name automatically applied for you, simply use the class attribute: "wowdb-item-text". For example:
  <a class="wowdb-item-text" href="http://www.wowdb.com/item.aspx?id=29171">Earthwarden</a>
• Links with Icons: To include an icon with your link, as well as the label and quality level, use one of the following three class attributes: "wowdb-item-full-small" for a small icon, "wowdb-item-full-medium" for a medium icon, or "wowdb-item-full-large" for a large icon. This applies to items, spells, and achievements. For example:
  <a class="wowdb-item-full-medium" href="http://www.wowdb.com/item.aspx?id=29171">Earthwarden</a>
• Items with Enchants/Gems: You can include Gems and Enchants on your item tooltips using the "gems" and "enchants" attributes. For Example:
  <a class="wowdb-item-full-medium" gems="32409,31865" enchants="43" href="http://www.wowdb.com/item.aspx?id=32474">Surestrike Goggles v2.0</a>
