Tooltips
It is now possible to provide mouseovers (tooltips) for items on Allakhazam's sites for World of Warcraft, Everquest, Everquest II, Final Fantasy XI and Lord of the Rings Online! To do so, simple add the following html to your site:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://common.allakhazam.com/shared/akztooltip.js"></script>
The best placement for this is right before the </body> tag. Anywhere inside <body></body> will work, though.
Who would use this?
Guild/Linkshell/Kinship websites and forums as well as other sites who provide news for the games that tooltips support but don't have item data. It isn't limited to that, though. Anyone is welcome to link to our items have have our tooltips displayed as a mouseover.
Examples
By id
- Deadly Cuffs (Wow)
- Nimbus of Growth (EQ)
- Adventurer's Shortsword of Clouds (EQ2)
- Goliard Chapeau (FFXI)
- Boot Knife (LotR)
Everquest and Lucy
To use the game id/lucy id for a tooltip instead of the allakhazam id simply add source=lucy
These won't work
- http://www.allakhazam.com This link won't display a mouseover because it's not an item on Allakhazam.
- http://www.google.com Neither is this one.
How it Works
By adding the script tag above, each page with the tag added will check the html in the page it is displaying. When it detects a link to an allakhazam item that we display mouseovers for, your site will automagically display them.
You can still style your links however you wish. All the script cares about is the contents of the href portion of the a tag.
Locale Support
ToolTips also support locales for World of Warcraft. Simply make sure that your locale is in the url.
Example: http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=30863;locale=deDE
