Professional

Version: 1.0k

by: theshadow [More]

A addon guide to leveling all your professions from 1-450. (Beta Test at this time)

(NEW) Guide Frame appears to work now with my fixes. The Close button is also now showing.
* (UPDATE: As of version 1.0k, in order to see the guide for your profession please open the profession first then open professional and click the proper button to show the guide for your current skill level!)
Also I would like anyone who is an artist to submit images for a logo for professional and a minimap button design! Credit will be given to those who submit the works.

You can open/close with /pro or /professional or click the NEW minimap Button!

Additions for the future: a checklist of all items needed to craft from 1-450. Links inside guides like in chat window.

Bugs: Hyperlinks appear not to work, but should be accurate. Guide format issues (just me taking the LONG time to format a cleaner text)

Please report all bugs to my ticket system here: http://wow.curseforge.com/projects/p...create-ticket/
This way I can manage any error reports better.
In fact if you can answer step 1 in the defect ticket, it can solve 90% of all problems.

(NEW)f.a.q. located here: http://www.wowinterface.com/portal.php?id=562&a=faq

Any devs who know how to do future enhancements please contact me.

v.1.0i beta test Updated to a new engine for guides to match current skill in profession. Alchemy is the only guide at this time in the new format. Added a minimap icon below clock that is ? and will open Professional with out /pro or /professional (but these commands still work). Updated guide info screen to no longer use background strata.

v.1.0h beta test A "patch file" was given to me to fix the scrollframe text to stay in the frame by llothos on wowinterface. I fixed some minor typos, and fixed some functions. A First aid button and lib have been added.

v.1.0g beta test updated frame.lua for an error of " ..\AddOns\Professional\Frame.lua line 126: '<eof>' expected near 'end' ". I don't know if I fixed it or not. If you still get the error, contact me as I'm not getting the error. This is even more true if your locale is not English!

v.1.0f beta test updated frame.lua for locale support. In Lib folder all the lua files have been updated for locale support. Translations of buttons and guides required. So for now anything but English won't show. If you wish you may downgrade to v.1.0e during the process of translation.

v.1.0e beta test updated frame.lua in preparation for locale support. Locale support is not active at this time, until I can't work out any bugs. Updated alchemy, blacksmithing and enchanting guides for hyperlinks. Blacksmithing and enchanting items needed are prepped for checklist frame. Checklist is still in process of being developed. Any translations of the guides MUST contain the hyperlinks and not alter the original system in order to be official to Professional. I will include a readme for the guides for translations in the near future. Updated Lib/About.lua

v.1.0d beta test changed frame.xml to allow a more dynamic textstring scroll within a framescroll. Tested all guides for length not getting cutoff and appears to work.

v.1.0c beta test with improved Alchemy guide including partial hyperlinks (like in the chat channels). Addition of Cooking as per request. I don't have a guide written for it yet, so if anyone wishes to contribute a guide to speed up the process, please do. ScrollingFrame text does not scroll. (please help on this if you know the solution. preferably with out fuaxscrollframe. Mine is based from TradeTrax help window, which does not use such a method that I'm aware of.)

v.1.0b beta test with full data. known bug is scrolling does not seem to work.

v.1.0a alpha test to see if most functions work

what he means is that you must archive the folder "Professional" itself, not the contents of it.

Mooky A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 6 File comments: 19 Uploads: 0	I haven't personally tried this addon yet. But the concept seems sound and am suprised its taken so long for someone to create an ingame prof guide, So major `thumbs up` for the concept I will get round to trying this when i start leveling my alts up. Looking forward to try the engi guide as this is a proff am looking forward to trying out next. As for your scrolling problem, Have you tryed taking alook at Faux's scroll? http://www.wowwiki.com/Making_a_scrollable_list_using_FauxScrollFrameTemplate Last edited by Mooky : 05-19-09 at 07:37 AM.

As it's currently packaged, the version downloaded here does not work. This pertains to:
1242757193-Professional v.1.0b.zip

The two things that should be changed are:
1) The folder name. The folder should be renamed from Professional v.1.0b to Professional. The addon doesn't even show in the addon list otherwise!

2) The Interface value in the TOC should be changed from 30101 to 30100. Otherwise, you force a user to Load out of Date addons, which addon authors should not do. 30101 isn't a valid value at this time anyway.

Thanks for the tips, I will make sure of this for future use. Updated file.

At this time this is a known bug, thus why this is still in beta. When I have all the bugs that I can fix fixed then it will be a full release. I'm still reworking the guides as well so it may take a little time.

dracos99 Premium Member Forum posts: 2 File comments: 15 Uploads: 3	if you want a good clean example of scrolling text frame, have a look at EndeavoursNotePad it uses ace libraries to manipulate data (which you may not need), but the part you want to look at is near the end, with the scroll frame. with an editbox properly set, you can use .settext() to populate it with your different strings.

tarcom A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 10 Uploads: 0	Profession As one poster said a very good concept. I think it will be a great addon once you get the scroll button to working. As it stands without the scroll button working it is basically no use at all since you cannot read the data. Once this is fixed I will try the addon again.

Balkeep A Cyclonian Forum posts: 43 File comments: 58 Uploads: 2	exactly, thats a nice idia but scroll button spoils it all, imo that should be really easy to fix. i guess u are either not registering object for clicks or smth wrong with ur callback scroll function...

glad to see scrolling works.
2 things for you to do - set text frame a bit smaller, so when scrolling text doesn't go beside the description frame's boundaries

Guide text is outside frame by a little bit on the bottom.

on the top too, if you scroll down

to make the frame resizable, at least for the (x), so there were no word wrapping

and yeah, items as links will be damn helpful and the required mats calculator
