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!

Thanks to Seebs for GetOpt which handels slashcommands / parameterized Inputs

Thanks.

(with no filter selected in the dropdown: "nothing")

Code:
ImprovedMerchant-3.4c\ImprovedMerchant.lua:126: attempt to index global 'LOCALE' (a nil value)
Code:
ImprovedMerchant-3.4c\ImprovedMerchant.lua:184: in function `PopulateList'
ImprovedMerchant-3.4c\ImprovedMerchant.lua:435: in function <...terface\AddOns\ImprovedMerchant\ImprovedMerchant.lua:431>
Bugfix for this one is replacing ImprovedMerchant.lua: 126 with
Code:
if text and string.find(text, ImprovedMerchant_GetLocaleString("RATINGBUSTER")) then
hmm, this visibilty related issue has been fixed, thank you very much Dridzt! (also the debug line has been deleted)

I couldn't reproduce any of the bugs in previous 3.4 versions.

Only aesthetic detail I noticed is that when there's not enough items in the merchantframe to scroll they're all greyed-out.

It's only visual I can still buy them normally.
that is a problem of my actual implementation to reflect the vertex color of the itembuttons; this is my only idea how to use AddOns like Recipe Book in this AddOn.

Edit:
I spoke too soon.
Still getting errors with some filters.
Code:
ImprovedMerchant-3.4c\ImprovedMerchant.lua:78: in function `SearchForRedLines'
ImprovedMerchant-3.4c\ImprovedMerchant.lua:210: in function `PopulateList'
ImprovedMerchant-3.4c\filterDropDown.lua:36: in function `func'
Interface\FrameXML\UIDropDownMenu.lua:563: in function `UIDropDownMenuButton_OnClick':
<string>:"*:OnClick":1: in function <[string "*:OnClick"]:1>
That's trying to set filter "usable".

Edit in edit:
That seems like a debug line left in for chat output, not functional to the addon.

I'm also seeing multiple errors with 3.4g, all involving line 261 in itemClass.lua. ImprovedMerchant 3.4g is totally broke for me, and nothing appears in the merchant window at all. Reverting to 3.4b for now.

Okay I have located the bug, I had thought that 0 (zero, not nil/null) is equal to false (in a if ... then control flow) but it is not equal. So this bug should be eliminated.

EDIT: I updated ImpMer from 3.1 to 3.4d, and didn't have this error in 3.1.
Seeing as AlicanC had this problem in 3.4c it's probably a bug added in 3.4(a,b, or c).
Keep us up to date !
