ChatMats

[omoda]

Now you no longer have to dread being asked what the 'mats' are for something. Just Alt-LeftClick your recipe from your trade skill window and have the chat bar open for text and the ingredients are put right in. Simple, Easy, Quick.

Enjoy!

Hi Omoda. Could I ask you to actually upload your mod to the tradeskill section of our downloads, please? If you go to [ur;=http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/index.php?cid=40&dp=0&sh=full&so=desc&sb=lastupdate]this[/url] page, you will see an"Upload Interface" button there. All we need are the zip file (as you have attached here), a screenshot (same) and a description, which your introductory paragraph here is perfect.

Thanks,

[omoda]

I added the mod to the Tradeskills section

I found a bug of sorts. For some reason it doesn't work with enchanting. hmmm??? Ill update when i figure it out.

enchanting doesn't use the same frame as the other. it uses the CraftFrame not the TradeSkillFrame

also for some reason, BeastTraining also uses the CraftFrame.

Aha... this explains why you can't drag the Enchant window with BibMod ... I shall search out his thread and post a bug there. Thanks for the accidental help

This is a great idea. Will be awesome when it works with enchanting.

btw to work around the 255-character chat line limit, which gets hit often when dealing with links, you're welcome to this function I wrote for Recap. There may be a better way too:

-- Use this instead of ChatFrameEditBox:Insert(msg)
function InsertChat(msg,delimiter)

local channel,chatnumber = ChatFrameEditBox.chatType
local cx,i,m_start,m_end,done

delimiter = string.sub(delimiter or "]",1,1)

if channel=="WHISPER" then

chatnumber = ChatFrameEditBox.tellTarget

elseif channel=="CHANNEL" then

chatnumber = ChatFrameEditBox.channelTarget

end

cx = string.len(ChatFrameEditBox:GetText())

if cx+string.len(msg)<255 then

ChatFrameEditBox:Insert(msg)

else

cx = string.len(msg)
m_start = 1

while not done do

m_end = nil
for i=m_start,cx do

if ((string.sub(msg,i,i)==delimiter and (i-m_start)<255)) or ((i-m_start<255) and i==cx) then

m_end = i

end
if (i-m_start)>254 and not m_end then

m_end = i

end

end
SendChatMessage(string.sub(msg,m_start,m_end), channel,nil,chatnumber)
m_start = m_end+1
if m_start>cx then

done = true

end

end

end

end

To use, build a string of any length, then:
InsertChat(yourstring," ") -- delimit by spaces
or
InsertChat(yourstring) -- delimit by "]" (default)

If 'msg' will fit in the ChatFrameEditBox with whatever text is currently there, then it will :Insert 'msg'. If not, it will send 'msg' in chunks to the current chatType, fitting to the last delimiter in each 255-character section if it finds one. If a delimiter isn't found in a 255-character stretch it breaks for a new line at 255 characters. For links you'll want to ensure the delimiter is unique enough not to break links in two.

lol, trust me the conflicts this has caused me within KCET have been mind numbing.

Now works with enchanting. The updated zip is available here .
