SlashHelp

Version: 5.2

by: SDPhantom [More]

SlashHelp enables the user to search all registered emotes, chat types, and slash commands as they type.
SlashHelp includes within the result list, any slash commands registered by other AddOns as well.

I'm open to questions and suggestions. Feel free to message me here or post in the comments.
I'm also available for support on the WoWUIDev Discord, @mention me (SDPhantom) or send a DM.

-Scanners cache and sort only when new commands added.
-Sort and type filter preferences are now saved across sessions.
-Tooltips display token identifier, chat type, aliases, and if available, addon information.

I tried his impromptu fix and it didnit work. then I tried your update for finding slash commands in a diff. way and that didn't work with the buttonforge orig code or his impromptu update. 2 days later he got it right. now both slashhelp and buttonforge play nicely together again. thanks much Ackl

p.s. I have a suspicion the authors may be implementing a non-standard way of implementing those two commands.

ButtonForge registers the function, then waits for a non-specific event to add the slash commands. Usually, this is done one after the other, but if ChatFrame_ImportListToHash() gets run on SlashCmdList between these, the command doesn't get registered.

I opened a CurseForge issue to address the problem. Meanwhile, I'm working on a way to mitigate it from my end. There may be other addons that call this function, so this issue isn't completely gone until ButtonForge fixes it.

I really have to understand how Blizzard give away beta keys. The keys are arrived also to freezed people from years, but not to all authors of addons (I got mine even if there were people that can use it in a more productive way

For as long as I can remember, they always kept keys aside for addon authors and in various ways over the years, had the staff here offer them. This is the first year this hasn't happened and many of us were stuck with the random way they're done now. I imagine I'm not the only one sitting here confused as to what happened.

I got mine finally literally days before the pre-patch went live, making me question what the point was anymore.

As far as I know, it works for classic if you load out of date. The current version I have in development is in an unfinished state and I have other projects on the plate currently.

Go ahead and ignore that comment, I was posting on RealMobHealth earlier and this somehow got mixed in with those.

Re: some idea to led it better .

When I get around to it, the entire interface will be rewritten from scratch. I had always intended the scrollbar on the list frame to be dragable, but I ended up settling with using the scroll wheel. The options frame will need to be placed elsewhere. Perhaps make it a popup when the list is right-clicked. Sadly, auto-complete will need to be left out as it causes taint to the editbox and prevents secure commands from being run.

I haven't even looked at the code in 2 years, so I'll have to go through and tear it down to the basics before working on it again.

some idea to led it better .

It's my little idea:

SlashHelp.lua
If press shift then scroll a page:

Lua Code:

frame:SetScript("OnMouseWheel",function(self,delta)
        local val = 3
        if IsShiftKeyDown() then
            val = addon.MaxListSize
        end
        self:ScrollBy(-delta*val);
    end);

Click then finish the text

Lua Code:

local function ListOnClick(self)
        if addon.Parent ~= nil then
            addon.Parent:SetText(self.SlashText:GetText())
        end
    end
    
    obj:SetScript("OnClick",ListOnClick)

If not type / then don't show Options

Lua Code:

function addon:ShowOptions(frame)
end
function addon:HideOptions(frame)
end
 
function addon:SetFilter(frame)
    if self.Parent and frame==self.Parent then
        local text = frame:GetText()
        self.ListFrame.Offset=0;
        self:BuildFilter(text);--   FilterCache is reused so returned table pointer never changes
        self:UpdateFrames();
        self:RepositionFrames();
 
        if text ~= nil and text:find("^/") then
            self:ShowOptions(frame)
        else
            self:HideOptions(frame)
        end
    end
end

In Options.lua

Lua Code:

----------------------------------
--[[    Options Frame Hooks ]]
----------------------------------
hooksecurefunc(addon,"ShowOptions",function(self,frame)
    self.OptionsFrame:SetParent(frame);
    self.OptionsFrame:Show();
end)
 
hooksecurefunc(addon,"HideOptions",function(self,frame)
    self.OptionsFrame:Hide();
end)

The changelog is correct. The website is noting that I updated the TOC interface number recently, which IMO doesn't constitute a version change or a note in the changelog. This addon continues to perform to my expectations and hasn't needed any modifications since the update noted in the changelog.

Version 4.2 is out with a quick patch to the scanner that resolves an error that rises when an addon attempts to set nil to a new SlashCmdList entry. The same check is also applied to the hidden feature of detecting direct hash_SlashCmdList injections.
