This mod adds a flyout panel of filters and display modifications, plus a reset button, to the Auction House.
Thank you to the authors of AuctionFilterRL (Joshaze), AuctionSort (Abraha), AH_Reset (AnduinLothar), and AH_Wipe (Neriak), as these mods formed the base for this extension.
I've added a few more filters that I always wished I'd had when shopping (such as only-20-piece stacks, and exact search), changed it to a low-clutter Flyout display, added the ability to save one's filter settings, merged the two mods into one, and added tooltips so users have more information about what each filter does.
FEATURES
-- Adds a Filter button and a Reset button to the AuctionHouse frame.
-- Pressing the Filter button will cause a Flyout menu to appear.
-- The filter checkboxes on the flyout allow you to limit your AH results or change the display of certain information.
-- In "Show Best Deals" display, bolts of cloth and greater essences are valued as their appropriate number of component elements.
-- You can clear your filter settings with a single click.
-- You can clear your Auction House search boxes with a single click.
-- You can save your filter settings as your default setup, which will persist across sessions, characters, and servers.
-- You can clear your settings temporarily and then reload them without relogging.
-- Each of the filter checkboxes has an explanatory tooltip.
-- Ready for localization (please help do so, if you are German- or French-speaking). You will be credited!
-- Compatible with Auctioneer and KC_Items.
v20400-2 (fan's update) Driizt
-- Detect Auctioneer Advanced 5.x CompactUI setting and abort if enabled.
-- Add Auc-Advanced to ## OptDeps to ensure AFP doesn't hook AH before checking its settings.
-- Beautify addon print function.
-- Move the compatibility checks earlier in the execution path to disable cleanly.
-- GetMoney -> getMoney bugfix capitalization of string variable as opposed to API call.
Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

jlrm365 saidThis addon DOES work. I read the recent comments and was about to agree, but then I had a fortunate accident.
My auction house char went to check its in-game mail and then went back to the auction house. When I then clicked on one of the auctioneer characters, the "Filter" button and fly-out window showed.
I then quit the game and deleted the addon and its lua (from the SavedVariables folder), to reset everything - in case what happened to me was a fluke. I re-installed the addon and restarted WoW. Sure enough, the same thing happened.
When I first clicked on an auctioneer character, I saw no "Filter" button. I then closed the Auction window. This time, my character did not go anywhere or do anything. Instead, I immediately clicked on the same auctioneer character again. The "Filter" button was there and so was the fly-out window.
There seems to be no fault with the addon, other than that the "Filter" button and fly-out window do not show when first (after installing the addon) interacting with an auctioneer. They do, on every occasion afterwards.
That is not really a fault, but it could be "corrected" in an upcoming version. In any case, it would be useful to make this behaviour obvious - in the description of this addon.
One feature that I would like to see added is the ability to remember prices, so that they would not have to be entered each time a similar item was auctioned. The "Auctioneer" addon has this feature, though I would not like to install it, just for that ability.

ElectronDF saidI can't get any version past 2.1.2 to show buttons in the AH frame. I click where it would be and nothing. If I type /afp it will show up until I log out. Then it doesn't show up again when I log back in. I deleted the addon directory and the saved variables. That didn't help. Anything you can do to help would be appreciated.

Dridzt saidYou're using Auctioneer Advanced 5.x with CompactUI enabled.
I've PMed a fix for Auctioneer Advanced incompatibilities to DSanai,
hopefully he'll see it soon and update the main file here.
Until then consider unchecking CompactUI from tool options in Auctioneer advanced.
You might get another error but it won't be so severe.
(both have been fixed in the patched version i've sent)

Dridzt saidThat generally creates confusion when an addon is not really abandoned,
as soon enough users don't know where to seek support.
Apart from that I don't really want to take over development of the addon
at this point, I have enough on my plate.
However as a convenience I'll follow your suggestion and post a "fan's update"
until DSanai has a chance to visit here.
I'll take it down once the official release is updated.
