Among other things, I've been slowly going through the database php scripts and adding new functionality.

- Quest view pages should now display quest chains. If any are missing steps, it's due to needing more people to do that chain and submit it. :)
- Quest view pages should also display level, tag, header and other quest information.
- I changed the quest display on NPCs to show the tag of a quest as well, as starting location wasn't very informative. They should also be showing a few quests they weren't before.

Am still working on other features I've been meaning to work on for a while, I'll keep you updated as they get put in!

OK, added in a new tweak I've been meaning to do for a while. There's some shortcut search URLs that have been around for a long time, but not overly advertised. Mainly they would redirect to the appropriate search page, and you would go to the npc/item/quest/etc from there. I've made a change so if there's only one result, it will redirect to the actual view page.

For example:
To search the whole database - http://wow.warcry.com/search/hearth
However, if you used the following: http://wow.warcry.com/search/hearthstone you should end up at the Hearthstone item page.

For reference, you can also use the following to do the appropriate searches:
http://wow.warcry.com/item/hearthstone
http://wow.warcry.com/item/6948 (if you know the item id)

http://wow.warcry.com/quest/Victory%20for%20the%20Horde
http://wow.warcry.com/quest/2479

http://wow.warcry.com/npc/rexxar
http://wow.warcry.com/npc/1896

I hope this makes things easier then remembering the long script URLs for everyone. :)

Ok, added a recipe list on individual item view pages, should make figuring out if certain things are worth hanging on to a little easier:

http://wow.warcry.com/item/copper%20bar

Also, in addition to the follownig shortcut URLs, I realized there wasn't one for recipes, so I added that:

http://wow.warcry.com/recipe/Greater%20Intellect
http://wow.warcry.com/recipe/856

Added in a series of easily copyable links on all the item/quest/npc pages. They should allow for easy linking on forums and websites... and even better, in game for items! Copy that third link on the item view pages and paste it in the chatbox in game for a fun suprise. :)

[70] Victory for the Horde
[Copper Bar]
Rexxar <Champion of the Horde> (Level: 62) (Elite)

Also, almost every place where there is an item link in the database, there should now be a mouseover tooltip. SHould allow for some easy and quick item comparisons on the search pages. ;)
