CCopy

Small addon to copy chat lines.

CCopy has some configuration options, but you have to edit the file Core.lua in the CCopy directory to change them.

Configuration options

MARKER Line 14
Default: "*"
The "bit to click" that is displayed before the chat line.

SHOW_TIME Line 17
Default: false
Set this to true if you want to have the time displayed before chat lines instead of the marker string.

TIME_FMT Line 20
Default: "[%H:%M:%S]"
The format string for Lua's date function. See http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/strftime.html

Other versions:

Set this to true if you want to have the time displayed before chat lines instead of the marker string.

The option was added some time after the comment you quoted was made, so it was a valid question.

Just a quick thought on how you could avoid the need for caching chat messages:

Links in scrolling chat frames are always anchored relative to the fontstring object that contains their message (each visible message has its own fontstring in ScrollingMessageFrames). So instead hooking SetItemRef, you could hook the OnHyperlinkClick(self,Link,LinkText,Button) handler for all standard chat frames. If the link is yours (check the Link argument), you can get the full message that included the link with the following script:

Code:

select( 2, GetMouseFocus():GetPoint( 1 ) ):GetText()

Keep in mind that the text returned will include all of the formatting that was applied, including timestamps and your "*" token at the beginning of the message. I'd consider that a small price to pay to use no additional memory, however.

Edit: Actually, you could hook ChatFrame_OnHyperlinkShow once instead of hooking each OnHyperlinkClick handler separately. They have the same args. You might want to validate the return from GetMouseFocus (make sure the returned frame is of type "Button" and has no name) and that GetPoint operation (make sure it's of type "FontString"), though.

That's a good idea, I'll look into this.

But, since I use BossTalk (http://www.wowinterface.com/download...-BossTalk.html), every time when I put my mouse on that button it gives an error message which I will update here below.

Error occured in: Global
Count: 1
Message: ..\AddOns\CCopy\Core.lua line 46:
bad argument #3 to 'format' (string expected, got nil)

PS: It's best to change the '*' on line 14 to ' ', because the * quite ruined my chatlog ^^ just a little advice

PS2: I have not got FuBaR, and I filtered out the rest of my addons, since I have 118 at the moment, and it was quite spammish.

This is not a CCopy error. BossTalk is trying to print a nonexistant value, which would cause an error without CCopy too.
