ImprovedMerchant

Version: 3.6x5

by: Macniel [More]

Warning
if you depend on item scaling and spacing between items do not upgrade and use version 3.6a instead, this update is not necessary if the previous version (3.6a) is working fine on your computer.

Installation

You install this AddOn like any other, just unpack the downloaded zip into your /Interface/AddOns folder.

Summary
Hello and welcome back to another helpful AddOn which will improves your daily shopping-adventures with merchants.

Okay what did this AddOn do to your merchantframe ? It replaces the paged item display with a scrollable and more informative list which can also be filtered by available item types. It use the same purchase protection like the default merchantframe when buying an item which requires honor-,arena-points or specific items.

Features

Filter: you can filter items from a vendor out. You can setup a filter to show only trainable, usable, purchasable items or just items from a specific type (or subtype)
Searchcraft: you can search item descriptions for certain a or multiple (seperated by an colon ;) keywords and filter those out which does not include your keywords
Scrollable List: you can now scroll through the merchant shop instead of the paged view
Autorepair: as a request you can now check a button on a merchant frame to enable autorepair.

Credits

I use Skillet for my tradeskills and it places a "Buy Reagents" button right in the middle of the filter/search bar if I need to buy stuff from the vendor. Can you possibly look at maybe that addon and discuss placement with the author?

If he does add it, he will have to remove it once WotLK comes out, as grimoires will be removed from the game. =/

I tend to not always read the throng of replies as my sight isn't the best and reading a huge group of posts can be a pain (literally), I should've counted on someone already having reported it. Once again though, thanks for a great mod. You're really doing a fantastic job with this!

Re: Re: last item sold not showing correctly in frame?

Macneil,

I can no longer reproduce the error I reported. Potentially it was a fluke or a specific item that caused the error. If I come across it again, I will make sure to have an image and note the specific item in question. My apologies for the false alarm. Keep up the good work.

@ SmuvMoney

This is very strange because the name and price are shown and are never hid, you can look at the latest screenshot. but you can also supply a screenshot of your issue with the current version

@ Sepioth

damn, there was a thing that i missed sorry for the incident - is now fixed.
