Item Link Macros

ItemLinkMacros

ItemLinkMacros is an addon which allows you to add item links into your macros simply by Shift-LClicking an item link while the macro window is open.

The macro link part of this addon is still working fine BUT since 5.1 it blocks Shift klicking items to search them inside profession windows. Can anyone tell me how to fix this please?

local _G = getfenv(0)
--stack references for globals
local GetItemInfo = _G.GetItemInfo
local GetItemSpell = _G.GetItemSpell
 
local strfind = _G.strfind
------- Replacing the ChatEdit_InsertLink function
local oldFunction = ChatEdit_InsertLink
 
ChatEdit_InsertLink = function(text)
   if ( not text ) then
      return false;
   end
   local activeWindow = ChatEdit_GetActiveWindow();
   if ( activeWindow ) then
      activeWindow:Insert(text);
      return true;
   end
   if ( BrowseName and BrowseName:IsVisible() ) then
      local item;
      if ( strfind(text, "item:", 1, true) ) then
         item = GetItemInfo(text);
      end
      if ( item ) then
         BrowseName:SetText(item);
         return true;
      end
   end
   if ( MacroFrameText and MacroFrameText:IsVisible() ) then
      local macroText = MacroFrameText:GetText();
      
      local item;
      if ( strfind(text, "item:", 1, true) ) then
         item = GetItemInfo(text);
      end
      -- my check for whether this is a spell or "other" link is kinda bad.  I could improve it with a Regex, but I doubt there will be many problems
      local spellLink = strfind(text, "|Hspell:", 1, true)
      
      local enchantLink = strfind(text, "|Henchant:", 1, true)
      local achievementLink = strfind(text, "|Hachievement:", 1, true)
      local talentLink = strfind(text, "|Htalent:", 1, true)
      local otherLink = enchantLink or achievementLink or talentLink
      
      if ( not otherLink and macroText == "" and not item ) then
         MacroFrameText:Insert(SLASH_CAST1.." "..text);
      elseif ( not otherLink and not spellLink and ( strfind(macroText, SLASH_USE1, 1, true) or strfind(macroText, SLASH_EQUIP1, 1, true) or strfind(macroText, SLASH_CAST1, 1, true) ) ) then
         MacroFrameText:Insert(item or text);
      else
         MacroFrameText:Insert(text);
      end
      return true;
   end
   return false;
end
SLASH_ADDTEXT1="/addtext"
SlashCmdList["ADDTEXT"] = function(text)
   if ( MacroFrameText and MacroFrameText:IsVisible() ) then
      MacroFrameText:Insert(text)
   end
end

Just beware that changing the global function ChatEdit_InsertLink will taint and break any secure code used by the chat and such, so if chat related stuff start to stop working, keep this in mind.

You're missing this block of code that should be after the MacroFrameText check.

if ( TradeSkillFrame and TradeSkillFrame:IsShown() )  then
    local item;
    if ( strfind(text, "item:", 1, true) ) then
        item = GetItemInfo(text);
    end
    if ( item ) then
        TradeSkillFrameSearchBox:SetFontObject("ChatFontSmall");
        TradeSkillFrameSearchBoxSearchIcon:SetVertexColor(1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
        TradeSkillFrameSearchBox:SetText(item);
        return true;
    end
end

Thanks for the code works fine now!
I'll send the code to author so he can update it

[SDPhantom]

That came out of the last half of the function the author copied from and modified the macro handling of. He just missed including it in his code.

Untill it gets updated, if at all, would it be possible to put here all code, including the fix? I don't want to mess things up myself...
