Description
AnkhUp is a Reincarnation cooldown monitor and ankh helper for shamans.
Always-visible Reincarnation cooldown timer
Alerts you when Reincarnation becomes ready
Remembers when you last used Reincarnation
Reminds you when you need to buy more ankhs
Automatically buys ankhs when interacting with a reagent vendor
Integrated DataBroker plugin is compatible with many popular display addons, including TitanPanel and FuBar*
* Note that in order to use AnkhUp or any other DataBroker plugin with FuBar, you will need to download and install Broker2FuBar separately.
Usage
Options are available in the standard Interface Options window. You can type "/ankhup" to jump directly to the AnkhUp panel.
Left-click and drag the monitor window to move it around.
Right-click the monitor window or DataBroker plugin to open the options panel.
Localization
AnkhUp is compatible with all locales.
AnkhUp is translated into English (enUS), French (frFR), and German (deDE). If you are willing to help with translations for another language, please contact me!
Requesting Features
If you've got an idea for something you'd like to see added or changed in AnkhUp, feel free to submit a feature request. Before submitting a feature request, check to make sure that the feature you want isn't already available in the options, and that a request for that feature hasn't already been submitted by someone else.
Also, keep in mind that AnkhUp is intentionally limited in scope to locally monitoring your own Reincarnation ability. Requests for features outside this scope, such as announcing your Reincarnation cooldown, will be declined.
whether your character has learned the Reincarnation ability,
what locale (language) you play WoW in.
Most importantly, remember to check on your ticket after a few days, as I may need more information to solve the problem!
Credits
AnkhUp was inspired by the Ankh Cooldown Timer addon, which was originally written by Starforce of Shattered Hand (EU).

3.1.0.0-beta
This is a full rewrite of Ankh Cooldown Timer. It is more efficient, more flexible, more featureful, and more user-friendly.
Configuration is no longer available via the command line, but instead is available in the standard Interface Options panel.
A DataBroker plugin is now integrated into the addon. It's compatible with Titan Panel, FuBar (with Broker2FuBar), and all DataBroker displays.
An alert when Reincarnation becomes ready has been added.
I've reposted the file from the Beta tab as the main release, since 99% of people apparently do not read the bold announcement underneath the giant "Announcements" heading at the top of the addon description pointing them to the Beta tab. If you already downloaded the file from the Beta tab, you do not need to download this update.
I won't be able to test any addon changes in WoW until next Wednesday or Thursday when my replacement video card arrives. I'll post a beta file that should resolve the issues with the new cooldown times in WoW 3.3.
Added support for Glyph of Renewed Life to hide ankh information
Added support for localizing the date format used by the "Last Reincarnation" display
Fixed leaked global variable "db"
You should delete your old AnkhUp folder before installing this update. Some files were removed or renamed.
I'm still looking for translators for German, Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Korean, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. If you play in one of these clients and are willing to spend a few minutes providing translations, please send me a PM!
For the record, I found Mapster (and possibly WIM by looking at the code, but it doesn't seem to cause a conflict) to be the addon leaking a global db. I've reported it.

Originally posted by Phanx I actually had something similar happen the other night, so I took the opportunity to do the overhaul I've been meaning to do for a while. I'll have a release posted in the next few days. In addition to (hopefully) not being able to bug out like that, it's also much simpler internally, meaning it will be smaller and faster.
In the meantime, you should be able to force the current version to update by completely logging out, then logging in, and then reloading your UI.
Awesome! Can't wait for the update and thanks for the temporary workaround!

I've been using AnkhUp for a couple of weeks now and have noticed some strange behavior. I thought maybe you could shed some light on it. I'm using version 3.1.1.17.
1. AnkhUp never seems to show accurate information when my ankh ability is available. For example, after having not logged in for a day or so, AnkhUp will show a countdown timer as if my ankh ability is not available even though I haven't used it. Checking the restoration tab in my spellbook accurately shows that my ability is ready.
2. Occasionally after zoning, AnkhUp will report a countdown timer as if I have just reincarnated, even though I have not. Checking the restoration tab in my spellbook accurately shows that my ability is ready.
3. Upon using my reincarnate ability, AnkhUp will show that my ability is now ready, even though it is not. The countdown timer never starts. Checking my restoration tab in my spellbook will accurately show how much time is left.
4. Upon using my reincarnate ability, AnkhUp will never show the date of last reincarnation. This field is always blank.
More detailed BugSack/BugGrabber version of an attempt to compare number with nil error received here on a level 26 Shaman rarely played. v3.1.1.17-beta, updated standalone libs, USEng client/server, don't use/have installed Wardrobe-AL. Repeats a couple times during the session (Reincarnation isn't learned until level 30):
["message"] = "Interface\\FrameXML\\UIParent.lua:2253: attempt to compare number with nil:\nAnkhUp-3.1.1.17-beta\\Broker.lua:76: in function `OnTooltipShow'\nStatBlockCore-2.6\\StatBlockCore.lua:610: in function <Interface\\AddOns\\StatBlockCore\\StatBlockCore.lua:602>\n\n ---",
["type"] = "error",
["time"] = "2009/06/18 08:41:17",
["session"] = 464,
["counter"] = 3,
Yeah, that's why I asked you to do the tests without AnkhUp enabled; we already know it's leaking a global "db" upvalue. It only causes an error when more than one addon is doing the same thing; in your case, Wardrobe's global "db" was overwriting AnkhUp's, so when AnkhUp tried to look up a setting, it was looking at Wardrobe's settings and not finding what it wanted.
I've been busy and haven't had time to finish the other stuff I'm working on in AnkhUp... I do have days off coming up this week though, so it won't be too much longer.
Found Wardrobe-AL to be the leak.
I removed it from my addons because it doesn't work properly anyway.
Then removed AnkUp directory's, removed WTF .lua and reďnstalled it.
Result: I have the same error: (the first error is line 248, then 295.)
-> the error occures at startup
run you're script: nothing shows in chat.
repute "local db" on line 43 - /rl - no more error and AnkhUp works.
(i'm using Dreamweaver to edit core.lua)
rerun you're script: nothing shows in chat.
imho: either it has to be there, because you use "db" in the addon or it's being initialised in one of the libs but that lib isn't loaded in AnhkUp.
------
secondairy problem: when scaling AnkhUp and try to move it, placing it on a certain spot x,y puts it to the right and up of that spot.

I'm only using enchantrix. it doesn't need Auctioneer to work, only needs Stubby. i removed beancounter
