Marketinfo.php on Itemdesc.php

Unread post by commandermack » Sun Oct 05, 2014 4:57 pm

I was wondering if it would be possible to add the Marketinfo.php file image/link to the Itemdesc.php for their respective items. I'm not aware how this is coded, but it seems to be linked to the item's ID, which would make me think it could be an easy edit. Then again, you could have to go into several files to do so, which would be encumbering, and I would withdraw said request.

This would certainly be helpful to new players to check pricing of things they are farming by being able to just click the item they just had drop, then to click the graph to see current listing of the item, and if they had wiki links enable, to also be able to instantly go to the wiki page and find out what it does if not directly listed. Wiki also containing collection data, should they decide to see rarity/collector value. This simple addition opens up a heap of extra data that wasn't directly available at a simple click.

soooo... when a player opens up an item desc, there's a market info link in there somewhere? Sounds reasonable.

Just tested. It's easy enough to add a link to market info, but since they both open in the same popup, there's no back button.

Let me sleep on it.

I've noticed there are now Collection Leaderboards in item pop-ups, is this intentional? I'm posting this here because it seemed like this inspired that or caused that.

No, that came about as a result of another thread when I was doing some other leaderboard-related work - viewtopic.php?f=77&t=1599

I also just noticed that clicking on player names in the collections table doesn't work, so I fixed that and will make sure it works properly next time I do a code update in prod.
