Possessions keeps track of gold and items across all of your characters on each server. Its primary utility comes from being able to use a slash command to instantly show you where you already possess an item on the server without cluttering your tooltips all the time.

I don't know much about improving efficiency but I'm trying to learn. I'm trying to understand how to reuse tables and looking into a way to only load the Possessions data when it is needed. I would also like to improve the UI a bit. I had to cram the new buttons and dropdowns into the existing UI and I don't like how it looks. You have to be aware that any addon that maintains a database and searches that database will use lots of memory and at times, lots of CPU. I'm trying to avoid making any changes which would break compatibility or require people to delete their savedvariables before upgrading. There's an Ace2 addon called BagSync which shows where you have items among your characters on the item's tooltip. It'd be annoying having two addons storing the same data though. |

I'm a big fan of Ace addons. But since the WoW 2.1 patch, the current SVN trunk version of Sanity2 (http://www.wowace.com/files/Sanity2/ ) is very (very) buggy and has not really worked properly in many respects since the last perfectly working WoW 2.0.x version (r33714). On May 24, the author of it merged his branch "dev" version into the trunk. The prior trunk version was completely dead as of WoW 2.1. But as noted, the new trunk version hasn't really worked properly in any update since then (I have posted on the Wowace forums about the issues). The only reason, really, I was still using Sanity2 was for tooltip display of numbers of a particular item on particular characters. It has never recorded things sent via mail until you see them on the receiving character, unlike Possessions. This despite me making the suggestion in the Wowace forums early in its development. So here's hoping you continue to develop & improve Possessions, Siz . What I'd personally like to see next is optimization of the database format/storage to use less memory. As well as performance optimization; it uses a fair bit of CPU time, even if you have never opened the Possessions window during a session (recorded with Fubar_Usage). |

Gold and Bags
Love the addon.
the only problem I am having is that the Tooltip, when I mouseover the total gold, is blank. No names, no breakdown, nothing. Every other tooltip will break down who has what and how many but not the Gold one. Bugged or My fault? (also very small note and don't know if this has been mentioned before, The Mod doesn't seem to notice "Bags" that you have equiped, just those IN a bag)

This is definitely possible, but it is quite difficult to do. In order to conduct a search of this type, you have to actually scan each line in the tooltip for every item that you search for the specified words. This would be a very slow process and at the moment I'm not familiar with how it's done. This would be an excellent addition to Possessions, however, so I will look into adding it if I can find time.
There are lots of ways that Possessions could be improved. Efficiency is one big area, but the gui could be cleaned up also. I've been hoping that another addon would come along and replace possessions, but I still haven't found anything I like better. Sanity 2.0 is comparable to Possessions. It has a full text search which you might find useful. The thing I don't like about it is that you have to specify which character to search. It won't search all characters. *Edit* Full Text search is now working.

This is such a fantastic addon.
I have a feature request. Is it possible to enhance the search for item attributes i.e. intellect or fire resist? The only addon I have seen do this successfully is Telo's Lootlink. Being able to query all your fire resist gear would be a very useful feature. |

Possessions PHP Guildbank cont appears to work, but it does not show items in a character's inbox or keyring. This may be because this version of possessions browser was written for Lauchsuppe's updated version of Possessions.
You would need to Uncheck the Lite Mode box and check your bank to refresh the data so that Possessions saves the item's icon into your savedvariables file.

Do you know of a updated/working php browser for Possessions (this version)?
http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=2622 was previously used but seems to no longer be maintained. |

Nevermind my last post. I got motivated and added a few new features for version 2.0.2j which I hope to post here before the weekend.

Just a note: Lauchsuppe has extended Possessions with many new enhancements. You can find his versions posted on curse-gaming.com and ui.worldofwar.net. From what I can tell, the only benefit to using my version is the reduced memory consumption in Lite Mode. In a recent test, my savedvariables file was 223KB while that from Lauchsuppe's version was 325KB. That doesn't necessarily equate to the same memory difference in-game. Lauchsuppe's version also tracks the bags that your character has, and stack count display is optional.
I don't plan to change this version much more. Just remember that the savedvariables files created by my version is incompatible with Lauchsuppe's version so you should rename or delete the file before changing versions if you choose to do so.

I tried to explain it as well as I could above, but the shortened itemString is only a minor benefit of Lite Mode. The biggest benefit is the memory reduction from not storing the path to the item's texture. For every single stack of items you have, the texture would be stored. It's easy to retrieve the texture whenever it's needed, but a common practice is to not query the server when an item does not exist in your local cache. This is done to reduce the chance of disconnecting you if the server has not yet verified the item. This is why you see question mark icons often on patch days when your cache is always cleared.
Possessions Browser was a php script that some people used to post their inventory information online. In a recent patch, Blizzard moved to a completely different technology for storing their saved variables files. Anything that used the old format will be broken.

Other than shortening the item IDs for less memory used, what other advantages (if any) does "lite mode" have? And what disadvantages (if any) other than the question mark/generic link that may appear does lite mode have?
And not clear on implications of this in the changelog: "Nothing can parse the new savedvariables format yet anyways." |

Thank you for the report!
The first problem with incorrect stats being displayed is fixed for 2.0.2i. I'm not sure what the cause of your error is, but I will look into it and edit this post when I find out more. I may have already fixed that too. *Edit* I couldn't reproduce the error below, perhaps the fixes in 2.0.2i will solve the problem

Problems with (your latest released) 2.0.2H on the 2.0.5 live servers now that BC has been released.
--BC items are recorded with proper names & icons. But the stats are not recorded correctly. For instance a level 61 "Yew Wand of the Owl " may have +8 Intel & +8 Spirit. Yet in the tooltip Possessions provides, it shows the stats as "+0 Intellect" & "+0 Spirit". Same with all other new green items I've obtained so far(level 57 & up)...all the stats in the tooltips are "0". --Doing a search (or something) in the Possessions window, received two of the following errors: "Possessions\\Possessions.lua:662: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil)\nPossessions\\Possessions.lua:662: in function `Possessions_ItemButton_OnEnter'\n<string>:\"POSSESSIONS_BrowseButton1:OnEnter\":2: in function <[string \"POSSESSIONS_BrowseButton1:OnEnter\"]:1>\n\n"
