Thank you! I was having trouble with my install too (I keep my programs in an ~/Applications rather than the default location. This was very helpful!
Reported for sticky ;)

While this sounds nice, I believe it has to be approved by one of the admins, and until this happens the download link has to stay away. :) Please also consider emailing
feedback@wowhead.com
directly.

Go ahead and restore the download link for now--as long as it's clear this is not an official tool (and we don't discover later that it's causing bugs), this should be fine.

Right,
really pleased that this is working. But what exactly do I have to do with that wall of text, as for me it makes no sense whatsoever.
Any advice or know how please?
Thanks,

Hello,
Great job on undertaking the task of making this work for Mac users. But i do Need a little help here, maybe im not getting it. Now do i simply copy/paste the script into a text file on my mac? Do i need to give it a specific name? And where do i place it? in the wowhead application content package or another place? I am new to macs and would appreciate some tips.
Thanks

The new 4.0.1 patch for Wow seems to have changed the name of one of the files that the Wowhead looter watches, and this script uploads. Namely /Applications/World of Warcraft/Cache/WDB/enUS/itemcache.wdb
This file is renamed to itemtextcache.wdb after updating your Wow client to 4.0.1. So if you can get the Wowhead looter addon working post-patch you'll also need to change 2 lines in this script for it to upload your data.
If you right-click on the script and select 'Open with', then choose Text Edit from the list of applications, you can easily Cmd-F to find the 2 references to itemcache.wdb and change them to itemtextcache.wdb. Save, then quit Text Edit.
Otherwise the script returns an unspecified error.

For those of us not familiar with coding/the terminal, how does one turn their password into the MD5 thing? (Also thanks for writing this - having such a great tool as the Wowhead client just out of grasp and not being able to use it is just brutal.)
Edit:// Seems that can be done if you google MD5 encrypter... now I'm stuck on the part where you run the script, however. I'm not sure if I did step #4 or after right, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything after I hit enter in the terminal
Edit://2! Seems to get the script to run, after doing chmod +x /pathstuff, you need to drag and drop into the terminal again to get it to run - it would not run just run by opening it, and it would not let me set the default program to open it with to terminal (it was grayed out)
You can MD5 your password by running "echo "password" | md5".
You should be able to run the script from the terminal by doing:
/usr/local/bin/wowhead-client
(If you add "/usr/local/bin" to your path, you'll be able to run it simply by type "wowhead-client". This assumes that is the path that you installed the script - if you installed to one of the other locations suggested, just use that instead.)

Well, I managed to get the addon installed, and the whole lot working, and when I run the script on terminal, it says that the Data was sent successfully... But when I come to my WoWhead page, I'm seeing stuff that someone else uploaded, 8 months ago...
Is it NOT sending the data, or what? Do I need to run the Wowhead client while I play, and use both Terminal AND the client to upload everything?
I'm not having problems with anything else, except that it's not actually updating my character page on WoWhead, after it says that the data has been sent... (and it's been 6 hours, so it's not just me being impatient)

Sounds like when you configured the Wowhead Client account variable you might have set it to someone else's account?
If anyone else has ever logged onto there account from that computer it'll cache their character data locally. There is discussion on the forums relating to the official Wowhead Client having this issue as well.
I would double check you have the the correct account set in the wowhead_client
/Applications/World of Warcraft/WTF/Account/this_name
Acc="account_name_here"
Well, other than the fact the WoWhead client doesn't let me set it to a specific character - the only path it will accept is the one directly to the World Of Warcraft.app, rather than a folder - it can't possibly be that, because there are no other accounts in the WTF folder except my own.
The looter is working fine and everything too. I just opened the .lua stored under my main toon... It's showing all the data there, just for some reason terminal isn't sending it through to WoWhead. And the Client is completely useless for me still. Whenever I hit "Update", all I get is
2010.10.21 11:11:45 PM: Checking for supported realmsā¦
2010.10.21 11:11:45 PM: Found valid realm: us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
Even with terminal running the addon etc.
Is there a way to manually upload the .lua to WoWhead or something?
Or is there something else I'm missing, where I have to recode the client or something crazy? :|
