Simple addon, that can create custom trade-hyperlinks.
For instance can be used to create a small list of recipees you want to make, instead of linking all of them.
How to use:
Type /tradelinks or /tl to open the window.
Select the profession from the drop down menu
Check the recipees you want to include
Click Link, and a link will be written to your primary chat frame, and the profession window will pop up as if you clicked it.
To send the link to others, shift-click the link written to the chat frame.
To decode a trade-link, and dump a list of the spells in it:
/tldecode [tradeLink]
If holding down shift while finding the recipees in the TradeLinks frame, information about the recipe will show in a tooltip. Shift-click on a recipe in the TradeLinks frame with the chat edit box open, will link that spell.
Known issues:
* Skills that do not create/enchant items, such as the new abilities you gain with professions (Milling, Decipher, Glyph Mastery for Inscription etc) will not show in the profession window that pops up.
* If no skills are selected that create/enchant items, the link generated will not work
* First Aid is weird...
* Mining is not included
* Creating links with recipees noone has, can disconnect you, since the items for those recipees are not loaded on the server. The same thing can happen if you use shift to view tooltips for such recipees.

Optional Files - TradeLinks
Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
I just started playing with this yesterday and like it so far.
A few requests:
1. It would be nice to take an existing trade link and bring it into Tradelinks to add/remove recipes from. This would make an easy way to take a list of known recipes, add a few (I need leather to buy recipes right now so I'm buying them as they're requested), remove a few, and then send it to someone.
2. I've heard reports from some people that the links they opened showed my skill as maxxed instead of its actual value (well, they said all the recipes were gray). Maybe a way to munge the reported skill level as well and default it to the current skill?
3. A quick filter-by-name and colorizing of skills by level would be nice. Bonus points if there's a way to mark recipes not yet learned

I have one (for now...) question, however. How is the header data handled? Like in the screenshot, the three crafts are listed under the "Elixirs" header/category. Is that data included in each recipe?
The game client has an internal database it pulls from that has all that information. All the clients need to pass around is a spell list bitfield. From there blizzard magicifiy's it in the C code i suppose.

What Zidomo said, and why make functionality of this mod dependent on the current build? If there would be a major game change that breaks the addon/the data, well, that breaks the addon anyway, so we'd notice either way. But new builds without major changes would still let us view the data if we were too lazy to check our emails on patchday :P
Originally posted by Zidomo Any chance we could get either functionality for checkmarking multiple recipes at once to put in the TradeLinks frame or a search facility?
Currently, its a gigantic pain to individually checkmark every recipe you may want linked. Some way of more easily selecting multiple recipes would make this mod more useful. SHIFT-click is a standard method for selecting multiple lines. But as you already use this, CTRL-click perhaps?
And/or a search facility as your ProfessionLinks (outdated) mod used to have would make this mod about perfect .
Have to agree with Zid on this one. ProfessionLinks was a great mod with everything in it. It would be great to see TradeLinks reach the point ProfessionLinks did.
And a search tool integrated in the mod would be a HUGE win. It's really a pain now to search through it all and try to find the right one you want.

It's their internal numbers used by Blizzard - various db sites used them aswell, for instance wowhead: http://www.wowhead.com/?spells=11.171 <-- notice the 171 in the link.

i see that trade id's are stored as a table in each section's data, so i could probably reconstruct some kind of look up table, but it seems like that would be best done in this library.
unless those skill #'s are standard numbers i just don't recognize.

Would it be too much trouble to implement a cache table? where it stores the tables as links? then you could return a CopyTable(cache[link]) that way the using addon can contaminate the cache table?
Another idea i had was the ability to compare 2 links with each other of the same tradeskill, to determine what link had more data in it.
Originally posted by orionshock I'd really love to see this in a Lib format. a rather simple api that i provided a link to and it returned a dictionary-throw-a-way table for me to abuse. I'd also need a way to sort out BoP items... but not required.
Converted it into a simple lib now (with build 8790) - not finalised yet, but have priliminary black listing (for filtering out non-recipe spells). It also contains a BoP list, although currently it's not used.

Also i think the server does a lot of checking on these links with regard to skill level, GUID ect. so only valid links actually open
Non-craftable: intended - they are a part of the link.
Last I checked, the server did no checking of the link in regards to GUID etc. I've been able to link professions just fine, that I don't have.
Locally, if it's your GUID that's listed in the link, your actual skill levels are displayed instead of the levels that is part of the link
