ESO Widgets

Are you producing content for Elder Scrolls Online? With ESO Widgets you can add ingame-like skill and set tooltips directly into your site! For build guides you can show whole skill bars with tooltips in your posts.

Embedding builds / skill bars

1. Plan your build with this Build Planner.
2. Copy the url and paste it into a single line in your editor (like you would to embed a YouTube video).
3. Done. You should see the skill bars as a preview in your visual editor, too.

Please make sure to paste the url in a new line and don’t make it clickable in your editor. Check the screenshot section for an example.

Adding skill tooltips

This plugin adds the tooltip script used on ElderScrollsBote.de to your site. The script is loaded asynchronously and is very lightweight. It has no dependencies like jQuery.

The tooltip script detects every link to a skill from the database of ElderScrollsBote.de and shows the corresponding tooltip on mouseover. To find the url to a specific skill you can use the search form here.

Adding set tooltips

It’s exactly the same as skill tooltips. Every link to a set is detected and shows a tooltip on mouse over. To find the url to a specific set you can use the search form here.

Is this in German?

All data is available in English and German. The script detects the browser language and shows all tooltips in English by default. You can set localStorage.lang to “en” or “de” to force a specific language on your site, but this shouldn’t be neccessary.
