Guild2Guild 
Enables communication between 2 or more guilds via a separate (private) chat channel,
which translates the messages between the 2 or more guild chats. Two users are required
to have this addon for it to work (1 in each guild), however only 1 user per guild is
required to have Guild2Guild for all members of both guilds to reap the benefits. For
example, guild chat from guild A will appear in guild B's guild chat, and vice-versa.
== Features ==
¤ Works for officer chat as well. You can enable either guild chat, officer chat, or both.
¤ Allows item linking
¤ Completely secure since the transmission channel is via in game whispers. The public
channel that you set is used for cross guild synchronization only
* You can set the add-on to be even more secure by limiting the guilds that you will
accept relays from (in case someone with the addon has characters in multiple guilds)
* forwards messages that other addons send to the guild addon channel
* unlike previous versions, more than two people from either guild can have the add-on
running at once (in fact its encouraged for stability)
* Everyone with the addon will see the guild chat as though it came directly from the
person that sent the message. Clicking on their name will have all the same functionality
as the regular WOW UI.
== USAGE ==
To use Guild2Guild, just download and install like any other addon, and have a friend (in a
different guild) do the same. Then, decide upon a synchronization channel, and set both of
your G2G's to the same channel, like so:
/g2g channel relaychannel
Once the channel is set, simply enable G2G as such:
/g2g on
You should now be ready for intra-guild communications!
== GUILDMASTERS ==
You can limit the guilds that you can connect to using a white list, and automatically set
the channel and password by adding a string like:
<G2G;C:channel;P:secret;A:Guild1,Guild2;>
to your guild information (through the guild options menu).
Where channel is the name of the channel you want guild2guild to use to coordinate relays,
password is the password for that channel, and Guild1 and Guild2 are the names of two or more
guilds that you would like to allow to connect to this one.
(Password is optional, you don't need to use it if you don't want to have a password.)
Alternately you can create a custom build of guild2guild for your guild to use by editing the file
DefaultConfiguration.lua to use a new channel, and channel password, and then reposting this
add on to your guild website.
Guild to Guild will automatically promote people that are allowed to speak in the officer
channel to relays. This is so that the officer chat can be relayed as well.
== KNOWN BUGS ==
none
== Summary of in-game help commands ==

7.5.8
- shortened the inter-guild message when a player earns an achievement
7.5.7
- changed to use ChatThrottleLib by Mikk - http://www.wowwiki.com/ChatThrottleLib which should prevent disconnects when a large raid gets an achievement
- allow the channel password to be set to NIL by typing /g2g password
7.5.6
fixed a few minor bugs related to achievements

- achievement messages are now displayed in the correct window
7.5.5
- achievements are now propagated across guilds
- fixed an extra space that was being introduced when in guild2guild messages
- added a 'silent' mode which allows a player to not see any guild2guild messages
- the addon now automatically shuts down if the password is set incorrectly
7.5.4
- updated for current TOC
7.5.3
- added an additional call to set the variable (arg2) for the sender. For the case of addons like Prat and PhanxChat
which were incorrectly reading it from the global namespace instead of the passed in arguments. This fixes the bug
where some users would see messages as coming from the relay instead of from the correct sender
7.5.2
- initialized chat color properly
7.5.1
- fixed a bug that was still causing duplicate names after relay changes
7.5.0

- Updated to current TOC
- added the ability to disable notification messages when the relay changes
7.4.8

7.4.6 - Jan 5, 2008
- fixed an error on login when the 'guildmembernotify' variable had not yet loaded, but I was trying to query it
- fixed a parse error when looking for player has left the guild messages
7.4.5 - Jan 2, 2008
- Selection of relays is now based on officer rank, ignore list, and whether the 'guild member alert' is set to on
- Play the friend online sound when a member of an allied guild comes online
- Text from players in the allied guild that you are ignoring is no longer displayed locally
- fixed a nil pointer when a message that is too long is sent with a hyperlink
- hide the g2g channel
- No longer working around the guild member alert not firing the event if you don't have the flag set.
Instead I just set it to true the first time you use guild to guild on that character, and afterwards respect
your decision. (Turning it off will really turn it off).
7.4.4 - Dec 27, 2007
- avoid sending Online/Offline messages for players that are merely on the relays friends list, and not actually in the guild.

logged out, and a new one took over if the guild was not using the whitelist
- fixed a bug where the relay would bounce back and forth once when the relay ownership was
transferred to an officer
7.3.4 - Oct 15, 2007
prevented double messages from occurring when one of the relay's got drunk and the guild was
not using whitelists for allied guilds.

I just found this and it is exactly what I am looking for. I'd like to merge guilds to share resources, but I would also like to keep our own structure and avoid the broken guild syndrome. Super mod!
Would it be possible to list the online guild members from the other guild? A fubar plugin would be awesome, but any way would be great. I suppose I could just use my friends list, but I don't remember who's who half the time. It would be easier just to know player (x) is from guild (y). |

Wow, I'm surprised this little experiment has stayed alive! It looks like you've added some very good features, I especially like the ability to white-list guilds.
Happy hunting! p.s. looks like you might have a typo on ln 189; you have "UKNOWNBEING", which looks like it could be missing an N? p.p.s. not that it matters, but you have the credits wrong in the description: I'm the original author
