ChatIcons   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
ChatIcons adds item, spell, player class, and achievement icons to the chat frames next to player, item and spell links.

FAQ

Q: Why is the vertical alignment in the chatframes not exactly like it is in the example text?
A: I dunno. Just play with it until you find something you like.

Q: Sometimes it makes the fonts in my chat frame go all funny looking. What's up with that?
A: This is actually a Blizzard bug with embedded textures so all I can do is wait. The issue seems to be different depending on the font you use in your chat frame. I use a font other than the default in my own UI, and I don't have this issue. So you may want to try using a font addon to change the chat font if you have this issue (and it bothers you a lot).

Q: Why don't class icons appear in global channels and whispers?
A: ChatIcons only adds player icons to Party, Raid and Guild messages because the player's class is only reliably available in those contexts. I do not want to have inconsistent behavior in global channels and whispers when ChatIcons can place icons for the players it has seen and not for others. I also do not want to resort to hijacking Who queries to find out the class of people it doesn't know. Nor do I want to be keeping a record of what class everyone on the server plays.

Bleh, it is really hard to search for "|T"... I know I once read something about those texture links, but can't find anything atm.
Do you think it is possible to mask the textures used, to make black parts transparent? Various non-square (especially round) item icons have a black background, which looks really fugly in the chat, small and against a shifting background color.

Found it ... sorry to be a pain but I should have checked my addons first. I know better than that.

FYI it was an old addon I still had and forgot to remove Item Link Recolor

So it is not a bug in your code

I don't really care about the class icon which I only see in Guild chat ... just the item icons.

My options look exactly like your screenshot here.


Also I saw the note on the info page and I assume that Player Icons is referencing the Class icons next to name. Almost missed it it was so small.

If it is another addon causing this then I might try to figure it out.

Just was not too sure if the item icons only appeared in certain chat channels.

Thanks for the help

You're going to have to be more specific about your problem if I'm going to be able to help you. If I had to guess, though, I'd say you either haven't installed the addon properly or another addon is conflicting with it.

Do you see the ChatIcons options in the Addons tab of the Interface Options?
What options do you have enabled? (a screenshot of your options panel would probably be easiest)
Do you never see icons or only sometimes?
Did you forget to read the fine print in the addon's description?

Edit:
Nevermind, changed line 98 to the following and it works fine.
Code:
if example or event == "CHAT_MSG_PARTY" or event == "CHAT_MSG_RAID" or event == "CHAT_MSG_GUILD" or event == "CHAT_MSG_OFFICER" then
Ah, yeah. It's been a long time since I've used officer chat so I forgot it was a seperate event. Thanks, I'll make this change in the next release.

The reason I don't support this at the moment is that I didn't like the idea of it being inconsistent within a channel (some people with class icons and some without in the same channel). I suppose if people really want this feature, I can add an option to work in all channels which would be off by default.

See authors usually test their addons in the PTR to make sure they will work on the next patch. Very common thing to do. Makes sure your addon on is ready when the next patch goes live.

Now not to many people post their addons before the next patch goes live but either way ... you can wait for it to go live get his addon or just use the available links to go back a version and use that.

There is not much sense in testing an addon in the current version when the next big patch is just around the corner.

And i'm not to sure what you meant by "dissapear" when the PTR goes live ... you do know what the PTR is right??
