My first Google Chrome extensions for Wowhead, Thottbot, MMOC and Wowdb

Posted under Google Chrome & Releases

After switching to Chrome a few days ago and hearing Joshua talking about how easy it is to write extensions for Chrome I decided to give it a try. One of the first thing coming to mind was everyone linking to wowhead, thottbot and all but you never know what exactly they are linking untill you click it. Most World of Warcraft database sites supply a handy tooltip script solving this problem. After a talk with Joshua and how Chrome plugins are written I gave it a shot.

The result are 4 extensions (tho basically the same code but adjusted for the 4 sites) that first check if the tooltip script is already in the webppage and stop there if it is. If the script isn’t present but links to the site are present it inserts the tooltip script into the body of the page thus attaching tooltips to the links.

The extensions:

Wowhead

Thottbot

MMO Champion DB

Wowdb.com

Planning to do the same for a few other database sites later on in the week after some phpBB3 MOD work :) .
