About qAH Improved

qAHImproved is a very small addon, operating fine with or without Auctioneer, to provide the following AH Improvements:

1. Adds a column to the Browse view, showing the price each for both buyout and bid prices

2. Adds a button to sort the Browse view by either Bid or Buyout price

3. Remembers the prices of items you've auctioned before

4. Remembers the duration of the last auction you set

5. Makes the AH frame movable

6. (NEW FOR 3.1): has separate price input boxes for price-per-item as well as price-per-stack. If you enter a value in one, the corresponding value is automatically calculated, for both bid price and buyout price.

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- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.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.

I'll take a look at this, see if 3.1 broke something. I haven't been doing much auctioning lately.

Thanks! It would be very great, much appreciated. I'd die without that function, really :P

Spending triple time at AH since it's broken.

"3. Remembers the prices of items you've auctioned before" -does not work for me in 3.1.

It seems the addon saves the prices correctly into the lua but it does not use that price next time. The blizz deault price is offered everytime no matter if that item is already saved to the lua or not.

I actually can not sort by item price. The sort functions are built into the wow api and there is no sport-by-item-price function available. The only alternative would be to scan the entire contents of any given query (ala Auctioneer's scan mode), then present a custom display of the scanned info.

I love this addon :)
Any way to make it short results by price per item?
Could it be implemented perhaps?

I can't reproduce that behavior. It's remembering all prices correctly for me. - Quel

Close, but not quite there yet - using the v30000c release, it is successfully remembering the Start auction price but not the duration or Buyout price.

Test : Sell 1 stack runecloth for 48h at 7g70s start, 8g00s buyout then exit WoW. When coming back in, it has reset the screen to 12h 7g70s 7g70s

I agree with Khakhan - it is forgetting old prices and settings (12/24/48h) once you change characters. I am using the latest 10/22/2008 version.

Wanted to say thank you for such a useful bloatfree addon :)

Also an idea for a future feature that I (and I suspect many others) would find tremendously time saving. A way to split stacks of items automatically. There's nothing more time consuming and frustrating than than having to split a stack of shards, dust or gems because you want to sell them singly, or in small groups (say stacks of 5).

Thanks for updating it, a new problem has cropped up though. It doesn't seem to remember old auction prices. For example, I auction 2 of my 3 [Dawnstone]s in a row and it will remember the price for the 2nd one. However, if I auction something else inbetween the 2nd and 3rd [Dawnstone] the default price will come back.

New feature requests: While in AH frame adding items from your bag to the Create Auction frame with a Right click or shift right click (or anything besides dragging it over)

Ability to lock/unlock the AH frame after you've moved it.

I found an issue where the price per item column would sometimes get stale. Here is an easy way to replicate:

* Do a search on the AH - try felweed for example.

* Once the results come back, sort by buyout price. The items without buyouts should float to the top. The price per item for the items with no buyout show the price per bid. Those with both bid/price show price per for both.

* Scroll down the list of items and prices but stay on the first page.

* Scroll back up to the top of the page. You will now see the initial auctions with no buyout have a price per buyout price.

It looks like the column refreshes correctly if an item has PPBO (price per buyout). However, if you scroll back to an item without one, the data doesn't seem to be cleared. This results in items without buyouts with PPBOs. I wish I had a screenshot to show you, but the explanation should suffice for now.
* If you scroll back to the top, any of the items that had no buyout price

I've used this for a long time, can you plz fix the max duration bug? 48hrs is the new max, since it wasn't updated post the change to new max duration all auctions marked at 48hrs are actually only up for 24hrs.

I too am having the following problem with the v30000 release...

1. When creating an auction, the icon of the thing you are auctioning does not appear in the auction details window. You can still successfully create an auction - you just can't see the icon of the item you are about to list until it is listed.

2. Once you have listed one item, the Create Auction button stays lit up. You can press it again without adding any other items into the screen and it gives the following error...

qAHImproved\qAHImproved.lua:42: table index is nil
Blizzard_AuctionUI\Blizzard_AuctionUI.lua:1453: in function 'AuctionsCreateAuctionButton_OnClick' :"*:OnClick":1: in function <[string "*:OnClick"]:1>

Just note for your point 1, same problem with Auctioneer (problem it probably blizzard side or other addon interference [like someone mess with variable name])

I am having an issue on the Auctions tab where I cannot see the item I am pricing once I drag it into the slot. The AH window shows me a default price, but the item cannot be seen. Once I put it on the AH, it is shown as normal. It is only when I am setting the price that I cannot see it.
