Elephant   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Elephant logs the chat for you in the background. It saves the WHISPERS, RAID, BATTLEGROUND, PARTY, SAY, YELL, OFFICER and GUILD chats separately, but also all general chats (General, Trade, LocalDefense, ...), custom chats you are currently on, loots, system messages (auctions, rolls, server going down, ...) and achievements. When you want to read the logs, simply click on the Elephant icon in the FuBar (or type /elephant toggle), then choose one of the chat icon on the right. You can also bind a key to pop up the addon.

You can easily copy the logs to another application by using the copy window. A BBCode feature is also included, letting you copy/paste a chat with colors in a very quick and simple way to your favourite forum.

This is THE AddOn that you should install if you want to manage hell tells or simply go AFK for a few minutes. It is also perfectly designed for Guild Leaders, Officers and Raid Leaders particularly because it restores the chats when you get disconnected.

*New* main features
* Logs the chats in the background.
* Logs up to 1000 lines for each chat! (Blizzard's default is 161 lines for evertything)
* Restores the chats at login after you logged out or got disconnected.
* Display the chats separately in their own colours, or using the Prat configuration if you have it installed.
* Copy the chat and paste it in other applications (BBCode supported!).
* Save the chats and the loot/system/achievement log in two different files on your computer.

Other features:
* Enable/disable logging for each chat.
* Movable frame.
* Slash commands.
* Bind a key to toggle Elephant.
* Enable or disable logging by default when you join a new channel.
* Objects in the main window are displayed in their proper color and are clickable.
* Player names in the main window are clickable.
* Easily clear the logs separately or all at the same time.
* Force the timestamp to be logged when Prat formatting is used (so you can have two different displays for your chat and the logs).

I really like this addon, but I seem to be having some issues.

1: dose this addon make a log readable outside of the game? if so, where can it be located? and dose it only log the channels You tell it to? (IE just guild and Officer channels.)

2: With the Copy, I couldn't copy the full days chat, even though it is under the line limit.

3: All the lines are done in 3 last time I looked... as in, everything would be tripled.
Quote:
Bob look at that

... you get the idea...

I really love this addon, it helps... or would help me with being an officer in my guild...
Thanks.

The coloring of custom channels is wrong

The coloring of custom channels is wrong, for more information please check the documentation of API GetChannelList on WoWWiki

Here is my not-so-pretty fix (in Core-Interface.lua)
Code:
	else
		typeInfo = "CHANNEL1"
		
		local chlist = { GetChannelList() }
		local chindex,chname
		local t = {}
		for i,v in ipairs(chlist) do
			if math.fmod(i,2) == 1 then
				chindex = v
			else -- math.fmod(i,2) == 0
				chname = v
				t[chindex] = chname
			end
		end

		for k,v in pairs(t) do
			if string.lower(v) == string.lower(self.db.char.logs[self.db.char.currentlogindex].name) then
				typeInfo = "CHANNEL" .. k
				break
			end
		end

I was wondering if there was a way to access the combat log. I like to look it every now and then. I can't tell if I'm just missing it or if it might be a feature you could add.

Any plan to include a text search feature? It'd be nice to be able to search your own logs for a string.

Great addon!

Thanks for your suggestions, Khurzog, you gave me at least one idea for the next release (I'll put one on Wowinterface today but not containing the idea I just got).

I'm not pretty sure however i'll make Elephant resizable: the aim of this addon isn't to replace the chatframe but to be an useful addition to it.

@ Auraka: You are not the first person to ask for this. I'll see if I'll implement this in Elephant. It's not as simple as it seems.

this post is quite an abundant feature request, but i figure i might as well throw in my ideas. i just discovered elephant, like 30 minutes ago... and its amazing! i like it so much that i wish i could customize it down to be my chat frame. you see i like my chats tabbed out, and every time i make my own custom chat, things get extremely buggy. one of the things i hate the most is that when i lock my chat i completely lose my tabs :-X ive tried customchat, trinity chat, phanx, prat, chatter and more and have not been happy. something else im looking for is tab flashing so when
im looking at my party chat, and someone says something guild id be alerted. so what id like to see is a way to resize elephant and streamline the look so it can serve as a chat frame, then the icons would function as tabs (with hopefully some sort of flashing) i know this basically changes the entire mod and its unlikely you want to do that, but from what ive seen from elephant, i would be amazing to use it in that capacity

thanx again for this, of course ill use it however it comes

Would there be a way to toggle it to save across all my toons?

See the thing is, I have many alts, and sometimes need to switch mid conversation. So... yeah. That'd help a ton!

2.5 will be last release under the name of "ChatLog". Next releases (including combat log) will be released under "Elephant". Don't forget to look for this new title when you come back to get the new release! ;-)
