I've been working on an addon like this for a day or two now. Here is the current revision (although not perfect, it works as far as I can tell):
FriendCommands
EDIT: I've set up
a simple blog if you are interested in tracking my progress with this and other addons. It can be found at
http://whitedev.net
Current features are as follows:
- Type /friendcmd or /fc to bring up some help text.
- /friendmsg <message> or /fm <message> will send a message to your entire friend list.
- /friendadd <name> or /fa <name> will add a name to your friend list.
- /friendremove <name> or /fr <name> will remove a name from your friend list.
- /friendlist or /fl will list all of your friends. Names are displayed in this format:
Online:Someguy - level XX Class [Location]
For example: Online:Honso - level 22 Paladin [Ironforge]
The format is the same for offline users, but no information is saved about them. Therefore, they will appear as unknown class / level / location.
If I get a demand, I can improve this addon a bit more. I will have a website up again fairly soon if you would like to leave any comments.
