OSP Bug is gone!

new interface with checkbutton to check autorepair on and off

full action buying!!!

ImprovedMerchant Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Warning
if you depend on item scaling and spacing between items do not upgrade and use version 3.6a instead, this update is not necessary if the previous version (3.6a) is working fine on your computer.

Installation

You install this AddOn like any other, just unpack the downloaded zip into your /Interface/AddOns folder.

Summary
Hello and welcome back to another helpful AddOn which will improves your daily shopping-adventures with merchants.

Okay what did this AddOn do to your merchantframe ? It replaces the paged item display with a scrollable and more informative list which can also be filtered by available item types. It use the same purchase protection like the default merchantframe when buying an item which requires honor-,arena-points or specific items.

Features

Filter: you can filter items from a vendor out. You can setup a filter to show only trainable, usable, purchasable items or just items from a specific type (or subtype)
Searchcraft: you can search item descriptions for certain a or multiple (seperated by an colon ;) keywords and filter those out which does not include your keywords
Scrollable List: you can now scroll through the merchant shop instead of the paged view
Autorepair: as a request you can now check a button on a merchant frame to enable autorepair.

Credits
Thanks again to Dridzt who have uploaded a fixed version here http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info12206.html while I was not available. Thanks and kudos to you!

Purity A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 16 File comments: 135 Uploads: 0	Oh and just wanted to thank you for this addon and your work improving the merchant experience, lol. You could code it for autorepair and autosell and call it another name like MacMerchant or UberMerchant or something. While leaving this addon as is...improved merchant. I don't see adding these features as a far stretch for those unconcerned with bloat...and for people who would rather keep their addon list less bloated. To each their own (addon). <Steps off the soap box.> __________________

Macniel A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 26 File comments: 125 Uploads: 10	I am not bowing With ImprovedMerchant I just wanted to answer a request to enable filtering and searching for items at the vendor. After all this was the second request to auto sell junk. And I do not see that it is not so frequent that you have or be able to sell a massive amount of grey - items (also known as "junk", but I do not consider the urn to summon Nightbane "junk") but it occure more often that you have to repair your inventory. This is just 3 lines of code and I had found a nice little spot on the merchant frame so I had implemented this. so kergoth / cawfee I promise that this AddOn will only be touched for maintenance or improving the used functions not for upgrades.

I second this. I already have two AddOns (SellOMatic and DropTheCheapestThing, which has to be manually disabled every update or I get two overlaying buttons on the merchant screen). If ImprovedMerchant does this as well, I'm going to have to set up -three- separate AddOns just to get the game to vendor gray items in a certain way, and that's a bit overkill.

If you do implement it, make it a feature that's off by default please :<

kergoth A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 116 Uploads: 8	Ugh, would you please, please stop bowing to every random feature request in the universe? ImprovedMerchant is an awesome change to the look and feel of merchants, and that's what it's good at. There are a billion other addons for autorepair and autojunkselling, and they work well. I'd rather use those than see this continue to bloat. I won't be using this anymore going forward, or I'll be maintaining a local branch without all the unneeded crap. Thanks. __________________ Last edited by kergoth : 05-23-2009 at 12:33 PM.

I have terminated my solution in favour of XML, and it worked now. I had tested every merchant for this bug and it does not occure at any time.

Change line 39 from: if texture then

Hope it helps

OKAY, now I got it. I had associate wrong variables for those extended item cost buttons - so they were anchored to nil. this will be fixed in 3.5
