About Loan Officer

Transaction Log v0.1.4

Introduction

Loan Officer is an addon for tracking loans made to other characters. I started this addon to track the money my auction house character handed out to my other characters. Loan Officer uses the Ace3 framework under the hood to provide some of the essential services addons need.

Have a look at the road map to see what new things are being planned.

Beta v0.1.4

The current release of Loan Officer is a beta version of the addon. This means it's basically stable and won't trash your UI (probably). Please remember that during this phase of development, the code is still fluid, so I'd like feedback on improvements or new features. If anyone has ideas for things to include, please send me a PM or open a ticket in the ticket tracker. Optionally, you can send me an in-game mail or /tell to my development character (Gnomebody) if you're on Icecrown (A).

Help Wanted!

I'm looking for help! So, if you have some great ideas, and are good with addon development, graphics design, or feel like you can contribute in some other way, please contact me.

Usage

To bring the addon up while in game, type:

/loans
/loanofficer

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 has 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.

this addon is great, but how can a loan line be removed?

there isn't really any way to delete a loan. What I would do is just add a credit to the account to balance it out, and leave a comment explaining why. Let's say you issue a loan for say 100g, but decide later that the loan should go away. You can credit 100g to the account to bring the outstanding balance to 0.

That's similar to voiding a transaction (but not really). I do want to add the ability to void line items, though. Hopefully I can get that into version 1.0.

Thanks for the feedback! It's helpful to know what people like/dislike so that I can figure out what to fix :)

I have a question. How does it hold this information? I ask because I play WoW on 2 different PCs (one at home, one at work), so I need the info to be global between the 2. This add-on looks like the ideal thing for me to use if it is global.

Unfortunately, I don't think I can do that. The data is saved to the SavedVariables location, which is the only way to persist data as far as I know. That information is stored per-machine.

this looks great, is there a way to have it interface with the Guild bank, if the officers all the addon?

What type of interaction did you have in mind? Something like sharing the database between the officers of the guild? I think that has some potential to be very useful, but I'd need to plan it out a bit before I started working on that :)

Let me know if you have any other thoughts on this though. You can visit http://www.wowace.com/projects/loan-officer/tickets/ to submit a feature request. That way we get it on the books :)

Thanks for the feedback.
