Better Inbox Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: r88-release

by: Ammo [More]

BetterInbox replaces the default paging Blizzard inbox with a scrollable inbox with some extra features.

- Summary of invoices, attachments and gold at the top.
- Dropdown embedded to select what to open, all mail, all items, all gold.
- Select certain mails via a checkbox and open the selected mails, items or gold

The open all feature might still have some quircks with battleground tokens you can't pick up.

See the screenshot for an example of the attachment summary and looks.

Enjoy,

It's almost perfect, although the corners don't quite line up any more but I just can't get it right. Open up BetterInbox.lua in the addons folder. Navigate to line number 638 and you'll see Code: function BetterInbox:SetSendMailShowing( flag ) . This is the function that loads the textures that make BI look so good and where the error is. Delete the 5 lines between Code: if not flag then and the Code: end that matches it and replace them with the following Code: local tl = InboxFrame:CreateTexture("MailFrame","MailFrameTopLeft") tl:SetParent(InboxFrame) tl:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\BetterInbox\\images\\BetterInbox-TopLeft") tl:SetWidth(254) tl:SetHeight(254) tl:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", "MailFrame", "TOPLEFT", -12, 10) local tr = InboxFrame:CreateTexture(nil,"MailFrameTopRight") tr:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\BetterInbox\\images\\BetterInbox-TopRight") tr:SetParent(InboxFrame) tr:SetWidth(128) tr:SetHeight(256) tr:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", tl, "TOPRIGHT") local bl = InboxFrame:CreateTexture(nil,"MailFrameBotLeft") bl:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\BetterInbox\\images\\BetterInbox-BotLeft") bl:SetParent(InboxFrame) bl:SetWidth(254) bl:SetHeight(256) bl:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", tl, "BOTTOMLEFT") local br = InboxFrame:CreateTexture(nil,"MailFrameBotRight") br:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\BetterInbox\\images\\BetterInbox-BotRight") br:SetParent(InboxFrame) br:SetWidth(128) br:SetHeight(256) br:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", tl, "BOTTOMRIGHT") Good luck and if anyone can get it perfect let me know! Just to say this is the BEST inbox addon around. I tried several after it broke and couldn't stand any of them. Being a .NET developer I decided it really couldn't be beyond me to figure out how to fix it. took me several evenings work but finally came up with this solution and am truly in awe of those that come up with these addons as the language is totally different to anything I know!

I finally got sick of this issue after a LONG time of just dealing with it. The change is pretty simple:

BetterInbox.lua, line 573
Change:

Code:

summary.moneyText:SetPoint( "TOPRIGHT", InboxFrame, "TOPLEFT", 160, -50 )

To:

Code:

summary.moneyText:SetPoint( "TOPRIGHT", InboxFrame, "TOPLEFT", 160, -80 )

Then BetterInbox.lua, line 581
Change:

Code:

summary.money:SetPoint( "TOPLEFT", InboxFrame, "TOPLEFT", 170, -50 )

To:

Code:

summary.money:SetPoint( "TOPLEFT", InboxFrame, "TOPLEFT", 170, -80 )

Thanks a lot!

I was annoyed with that to, until I found a mod called Perror. You can add 'filers' to the mod to add any error that shows up in wow on screen to the list. I added both errors from this addon, and they haven't shown up again since.

That's just my fix, anyways.

You can use maximized windowed mode to prevent wow from 'pausing' while alt-tabbed.

I set the addon to post who knows how many auctions, tab outta WoW, and when i return it'll resume from the point where i tabbed outta WoW.

My guess would be that tis is Blizz's newest addition to "features that prevent automated play" -_-

Also the cancel button is missing when this happens. But yea, /reloadui takes care of it.

Other than this recent bug, it's been awesomely reliable since I started using it well over a year ago.

That's real weird. I'll go try it out myself.
