Brief Description:

Are you tired of the trade channel being used as the privy (toilet) of your realm? Well, look no further! The purpose of this mod is to block as much of the irrelevant trade chat as possible. For example, if a trade message 'WTS', 'WTB', an item link, or any of the other 'allowtriggers' (in PrivyCork.lua), it will not be hidden.



About the Name:

Why is this called "Trade Secretary: Privy Cork" you ask? Well, this version of "Trade Secretary" is to make it easier to keep track of who can craft what, and would be the next installment of a future suite that gives one a secretary for their trading, and other secretary-like activities whenever I happen to make them.



Use:

This mod currently has no way to set settings in-game. It is either enabled, or disabled. For the settings there are, you open PrivyCork.lua to set them.



Tracking:

The mod has tracking of how many times someone sends a message that fails or passes, yet the display mechanism for this is under construction



Feedback requested, but not limited to:

Any errors in the mod

Ease of use



Installation:

After you decompress the file, copy the Trade Secretary: Privy Halt folder into your Interface/AddOns folder under your World of Warcraft Installation Directory.



Upgrading:

Simply overwrite the old file with the new one! Make note of any changes you made to your allowtriggers, as you will need to add them again. Make sure to read the updated version for any other upgrade problems.



A note to my fellow authors:

If anyone wishes to use more then a few lines of my code, I request you credit me by saying, "This product includes software developed by MikeNGo and Funkydude" somewhere as a comment, or in your documentation. Also, you must follow Funkydude's requirement's for using BadBoy. I also hope that anyone who would take the time to read my code, would take the time to send me an e-mail of what you think, or what can otherwise be improved.



Caveats, Known Bugs, etc.:



Future expansion, additions, planed features, etc:

• Sister addon for BG chat

• An in-game toggle for the mod/settings

• Tracking GUI
