Shivtr Tools
The new Tools section of the Shivtr website will be where we post game-specific tools for a variety of games. These tools can be used on their own, but also will be integrated with Shivtr and embeddable on your site. As this update is focused on League of Legends, we have a few tools for that game to kick this section off with.
New Tool: League of Legends Items Builder
The first tool we are introducing is an Items Builder for League of Legends. Our Items Builder is designed to be fast and friendly to use, allowing you to quickly select items for a champions and see their effects. The stats and abilities instantly update as changes are made, and you can switch through champions as well, allowing you to see how effective your build is on them.
Any builds you create with the Items Builder can be shared as a link (for example to post on Twitter), but can also be embedded directly into your Shivtr Clan site with BBcode:
We hope the Items Builder will be useful, as its brand new we would love to hear any feedback, suggestions or bug reports which you can post to our Help & Support Site.
New Tool: League of Legends Masteries Builder
The second tool we are introducing is a Masteries Builder for League of Legends. Much simpler than our Items Builder, the Masteries Builder allows you to plan our Masteries for your Champions.
As with the Items Builder, you can link to and embed Mastery Builds to your Shivtr Clan site:
And of course, we would love any feedback, suggestions and bug reports you may have for this tool as well =)
New League of Legends Glare Theme
A New theme has been added to the official themes section called Glare. Glare is available in 3 different color schemes and is meant for use with League of Legends Clan Sites. Each theme is fully customizable with our theme editor.

Select your Champions
Sites which have their game set to League of Legends will have the Characters section replaced with the new Champions section. The Champions section lists all of the champions available in LoL and allows you to discuss and state which ones you play. Each champion includes stats and information, such as their back story and suggested items, along with links to our LoL Tools and the official League of Legends page for the Champion.
To support this feature, new Champion Permissions are available in the Site Admin so you can control who may view and use the Champions section.
Item Tooltips
Item tooltips for League of Legends are enabled throughout your site and can be created with the [item] BBcode:
Own3d.tv Streaming
A quick re-mention of this feature as it is very popular with LoL players, we support an [own3d] bbcode tag you can use on your site to embed streams from own3d.tv. Own3d.tv is a popular steaming service for League of Legends, Starcraft 2, World of Warcraft and many other games. If your clan live streams, you can embed these right on your site to make it easier for your members to follow along =)
To see some example usage of the [own3d] tag, check out our BBcode Guide
Misc
Guild Applications have been updated to work better with Characters and Champions, hiding Character questions such as Race/Class/Character when the Characters feature is disabled or champions are used.
That's all for this update, we would love to hear your feedback and comments below =)
So happy about these new LoL features! Rock on!
Hopefully, you can eventually link up the masteries and runes (when finished) with the item builder, so you can see the effects of various mastery and rune builds on your champion's stats.
Very cool, only thing I noticed didn't really have to do with the tools themselves, but with the links at the top of the page. when I tried to click back to the blog, it took me to tools.shivtr.com/blog instead of www.shivtr.com/blog . Not sure if that's just me or not. I looked at all the links at the top and they pointed to tools.shivtr.com/(whatever the link is supposed to be) instead of www.shivtr.com/(whatever the link is supposed to be).
Ack, thanks Azhure, that is now fixed =)
Now to get these features for WoW, keep up the good work guys!
How do I embed the tool directly into my site...as a page without forcing the user to browse to http://tools.shivtr.com?
May seem like a dumb question, but can you incorporate other games into other game setups? I am running a SWToR guild page primarily...however, a lot of my guild mates, including myself, play LoL as well. It would be nice to create a drop down menu item for LoL...and have these tools embedded on custom pages, so we can dabble with the tools on our site.
Great for League of Legends players, I would at the very least like to see basic support for DC Universe Online. At least have a template setup with the terms and syntax that game uses vs the WoW terms and syntax I am usually forced to use. I understand that LOL is a large community vs DCUO, but DCUO did just go free to play and picked up over a Million new players.
Wish you could add the PWI Character Calculator into the sites.
