    They are just pouring in atm. The code needs a lot of tidying up all over the shop and error checking, but it's working as far as everyone can see. Which is nice.

    Right, we now have the ability to link to an item which gives the nice fluffy tool tip and colours the link. Which is good.

    What you have to do, is find the item on Wowhead and then, copy everything after the ? and put it in square brackets.

    So: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31308

    Becomes [ item=31308 ] (without the spaces either side of the text you copied.)

    That will produce a link like this: [The Bringer of Death]

    Only thing to note is, if no one has ever linked that item before, or it's not on someones character, it'll take a few seconds when you click the "Post"/"Edit"/"Reply" button. Just give it some time :).

    Which is nice :) - Also next time Blizzard get the EU armory to work, you'll also see the items you have equipped on your character pages.

    That's about it, questions, comments, shouts,

    Me.

      Hmm. Is there any way we can extract more of this data from the Armoury? I note that on my character page it has found what shoulders I am wearing, but the mouseover popup hasn't listed the gems i've got socketed in them, whereas the Blizz Armoury lists my socketed gems as well, which presumably means the info is there to use if we can work out how to use it.

      Yes it is possible, the data is in there and could be easily captured. Only three gems are possible, so it's three item fields.

      The problem is merging the gems into the tool tip which is generated from Wowhead. I suspect we'd have to merge our own in. Feel free if you want a bash.

        I had a look at wowhead's Javascript they use to generate the popup.

        1) It scared me
        2) It appears to be all on one line, and vim refuses to autoformat.

        I'll do it when I can be arsed, which might well be 'never'. I can always just provide a link to the actual armoury page.
