Learning Aid

Version: 1.12 Beta 3a

by: Jamash [More]

All good things must come to an end
I am not subscribed to World of Warcraft, and have not been for several years. I am not likely to resubscribe in the foreseeable future. I appreciate all the support Learning Aid has received (especially from the people who localized it into different languages), but playing an MMO is too much like a second job, and I can't justify it to myself.

If anyone wants to take over maintenance, please let me know. I would be more than happy to turn it over to a new maintainer.

Learning Aid is for all those times when you've just leveled up, retalented, or learned a new trade skill and you've had to page through your spellbook looking for all those new icons.

When you learn a new ability, or tradeskill, Learning Aid pops up a window with the new ability icon in it, ready to be dragged to your Action Bar.

Learning Aid filters the chat message spam that you get when swapping specs, unlearning talents, or learning several talents at once down to one or two lines.

Learning Aid adds a "Train All" button to tradeskill trainers.

Directions

1. Learn a new ability!
2. Drag it to your action bar!
3. Click the close box to dismiss the window!

You can also shift-click an ability button to create a chat link, just like from the spellbook.

Options

Right-click on the window's title, or click the lock icon to lock the window so it does not move.

Compatiblity

Learning Aid is compatible with World of Warcraft version 6.2.0.

Latest Changes

Frayol A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 10 File comments: 127 Uploads: 4	One minor issue I've recently noticed. The text in the right-click menu doesn't change once you've locked Learning Aid in place. I only realised this after I tried to move the window to other side of my screen and finding I couldn't. Right-clicking kept offering me the chance to lock the window, which eventually I tried and it then allowed me to move it. Any chance that it could be changed to show "unlock" if you've already locked it?

Thanks for the bug report! I'll take a look at it.

When I first came across it I didn't think much of it, but I've found it to be a godsend when trying to organize my minimal UI structure with new spells. Thanks!

So that list was way too big for my screen, lol. I dunno why I never thought to suggest a totem filter to you, but I'm SO GLAD you put it in now yourself! That's AWESOME!!!

1.08 some errors (and fix)

One of my characters is getting these errors with 1.0.8

I made the following changes to the top of ActionBar.lua, Companion.lua, Spell.lua, SpellButton.lua
to correct the scope/visibility errors and it runs error-free on all chars atm.

Code:

local LA = LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):GetAddon("LearningAid",true)

instead of local LA = LearningAid.
Also to Locale\enUS|deDE.lua

Code:

local LA = LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):GetAddon("LearningAid",true)
LA.strings.enUS = {

Hope it helps.

I like the swirly things, but I'll see what I can do about the overlapping issue by adjusting spacing and/or layering.

Veyska A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 56 Uploads: 0	The new guild perk, Mobile Banking, is popping up as a new spell on a regular basis. Seems to mostly be after a loading screen. Loading in-game and releasing from an instance both trigger it but zoning back in as a ghost doesn't, for example, but I haven't been keeping meticulous track of it though. Other two guild castable abilities may trigger it too, but it's gonna' be a long while till I can check. :-P

Akkorian A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 111 File comments: 125 Uploads: 2	Hi Jamash, I’ve noticed that when I learn something (for example, Master Herbalism) and Learning Aid pops up a window with that ability, I also get a message from Learning Aid in the chat window that lists not just Master Herbalism, but also everything else I’ve learned since logging on (such as class skills, and other professions), even if I learned them hours ago. I think this is related to the feature that hides all of the “learned” and “unlearned” spam when switching specs, but I still see the regular “learned” message when it happens. Is this a bug, or a feature? If it’s a feature, is there a way to turn it off without turning off the summary feature for switching specs? Thanks! __________________ “Be humble, for you are made of earth. Be noble, for you are made of stars.”

Yeah it's a bug, I've been trying to hunt it down for a while now.

I don't have access to mobile banking yet so it's kind of difficult for me to test

. Please send me a PM if you'd be interested in doing some debug logging, and I'll see what I can do.

You can fix this by inserting in SpellButton.lua after the line

function LA:AddButton(kind, id)

the lines

if id == 83958 then
return
end

Then Mobile Banking will be completely ignored by the addon (including the first time it pops up, though, but better than it always popping up).
