Very nice Addon, I like it very much!

Is it possible to have an option to choose if AP shows the profit or the selling price? (If you want to remember how much you sold something to know at which price you will sell it this time, the selling price is much more useful than the profit)

It needs to remember the selling price or calculate it from the profit (the AH cut is always 5% for faction and I don't remember if it is the same for the neutral AH)

Thank you for this work!

Hmmm I think such a feature is better realized with an other addon.
I wrote a little addon that saves item notes and myAHsellprices, but it needs some major cleanup before I can release it to the public
Sure there are addons out there that can do this, but they do things that I do not want or has not the features I want in such an addon...

[lyly00]

Thank you very much, I am looking forward trying this myAHsellprices! Do you think it will be possible to migrate the data from AuctionProfit to myAHsellprices?

As you say if I manually click on the mail then click on the money to take it the addon detects the transaction, if I then use the below marco the first time it records the transaction however each subsequent use of the macro no transaction is recorded. If I then manually click an auction the above pattern repeats.

/script GetInboxText(1); TakeInboxItem(1); TakeInboxMoney(1); DeleteInboxItem(1);

altering the macro to this doesn't seem to change the behaviour of an initial success but subsequent missed transactions. I can't seem to find any other calls that would perhaps "open" the message.

/script GetInboxHeaderInfo(1); GetInboxText(1); GetInboxItemLink(1,1); GetInboxItem(1,1); TakeInboxItem(1); TakeInboxMoney(1); DeleteInboxItem(1);

I know you have stated that the addon probably won't work using the macro, however it does seem to have some initial success, thought you might like to know.

Hey, I just want to say great addon ^_^b. But I'm having two errors when I use it recently Well, 3... but I think that could be attributed to MailInfo. I kind of need the reminders when mail is about to expire and such lol. So unless thats added to this I have to keep using it.
Error #1

Not to sure if you knew about these already, but I figure it cant hurt to post it anyways.

EDIT: By the way, any chance of you adding the features found in MailInfo to this mod? (Like the warning for expiring mail? I know its a bit off track but when you think about it most mail people get is from the AH) Just a thought though.

[pseudomega]

When I receive money from an AH mail, I see the output in my chat window, but the AP window doesn't pop up like it used to.

When I click on the "AP" in my fubar, I get the following error:

@kalirob2k6:
Error #1 looks like Auctioneer not AuctionProfit.
No, I will not add a warning for expiring mail feature.

@kalirob2k6 & pseudomega:
Sorry, I can't reproduce your errors.
Do you have manually changed something in the SavedVariables file?

Try the following:
download/install the latest version: http://files.wowace.com/AuctionProfit/AuctionProfit.zip

1.)
- DISABLE ALL addons expect AuctionProfit (and maybe BugGrabber/BugSack) and try: click the money from one or two invoice auction house mails

If you still get error(s):

2.)
- log out
- make a backup of your saved data (<WoWinstallDir>/WTF/Account/<YourAccountName>/SavedVariables/AuctionProfit.lua)
- delete the AuctionProfit.lua file in the SavedVariables directory (path above)
- ENABLE your addons
- click the money from one or two invoice auction house mails

If you still get error(s):

3.)
- log out
- delete the SavedVariables file again
- DISABLE ALL addons expect AuctionProfit (and maybe BugGrabber/BugSack) and try again: click the money from one or two invoice auction house mails

If you still get an error please post it here, thanks.

[pseudomega]

Thanks a million for your advice.

Downloaded the file you linked and installed it, disabled all addons and got this error when I logged in. Didn't even get a chance to open an AH mail:

[2008/04/05 08:02:56-1-x1]: AuctionProfit-1.0\AuctionProfit.lua:1856: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'auctions' (a nil value)
AceAddon-2.0-57245 (AuctionProfit):926: in function <...Ons\AuctionProfit\libs\AceAddon-2.0\AceAddon-2.0.lua:919>
<in C code>: ?
AceEvent-2.0-66043 (AuctionProfit):260: in function `TriggerEvent'
AceEvent-2.0-66043 (AuctionProfit):910: in function <...Ons\AuctionProfit\libs\AceEvent-2.0\AceEvent-2.0.lua:903>

Backed up my AuctionProfit SavedVariables file and deleted the original, logged in with all addons disabled, no errors.

Enabled all of my addons again, still no errors. Opened an AH mail, got the money, AP window popped up like normal.

So it looks like I'm good to go again at the moment. But how do I safely get all of the information from my old SavedVariables file into my new one?

[kunda]

Hmm, strange.
Your SavedVariable file is missing a PlayerName.

change line 80 to

"Unknown:2907:1#59-2907-1", -- [60]

but how is this possible?

• 1.) you manually changed the SavedVariable file
• 2.) the player who bought your AH item was deleted from the server and the GetInboxInvoiceInfo function call returns in such a case a true or "" for the playerName
• 3.) your client has not recieved all data from the server when you clicked on the money (should not possible - you get all or no data)

anyway: I don't know exactly (think it's point 2) but I updated AuctionProfit to avoid such errors in future
download r68158:
http://files.wowace.com/AuctionProfi...fit-r68158.zip
or
http://files.wowace.com/AuctionProfit/AuctionProfit.zip


There is currently no way (or function or so) to merge your old data with the new one. Fix the old like I posted above or use your new one.


If someone is getting the same error you can do the following (pls only change the SavedVariable file if you know what you are doing - use a good texteditor and don't change encoding when save)
- search your SavedVariable file for:

":

if you find such a line in the APbuyer var the playerName is missing
- change it to:

"Unknown:

use this only if you have no player with the name 'Unknown' in your data...

Thanks.

btw: you can delete the link in your post above
