Requesting Assistance with Baud Auction

[nickyjean]

Hello,

I've been piecing this addon together since it went out of commision and I haven't had to many problems with it. I'm not a developer at all (only a little html) but been able to cut and paste fixes when something come up.

Lately with Battle Pets, I've been getting a UI error. ---Please see below---

It lists an error with BaudAuction. Would anyone be willing to explain the error to me and maybe some sort of fix with Baud Auction. Virtual hugs and Thanks

You can't use GameTooltip:SetHyperlink with caged battle pets. So, you need to check whether the link you're working with is for a caged battle pet, and use a different method to display those:

-- You must set the GameTooltip's position first, even for battle pets:
GameTooltip:SetOwner(YOUR_FRAME_HERE, "ANCHOR_TOPLEFT")
-- Check the link type:
if strmatch(link, "|Hbattlepet:") then
     -- Battle pet link
     local _, speciesID, level, breedQuality, maxHealth, power, speed, name = strsplit(":", link)
     BattlePetToolTip_Show(tonumber(speciesID), tonumber(level), tonumber(breedQuality), tonumber(maxHealth), tonumber(power), tonumber(speed), name)
else
    -- Other kind of link, OK to use GameTooltip
    GameTooltip:SetHyperlink(link)
end

thank you very much. This now works as intended.
