We're still in the early stages of the addon. Bear with me.
Trade is for Trade! is a chat filtering addon that allows users to filter chat messages against a user-built blacklist of words and phrases. It offers a universal blacklist and channel specific blacklists both for Character names (works like a more-or-less selective Ignore) and Words/Phrases.
For in-game help, use "/tift help"
This addon allows you to blacklist words or players, and will automatically filter out any chat messages that match your blacklists. It also has the ability to automatically temporarily blacklist the senders of filtered messages though this is off, by default. You choose which channels to filter by checking the box next to the channel's entry on the
Social->Chat frame. A brief listing of commands follows: (/tift <command> <parameters>)
Brief overview of commands
addword (/tift addword channelname comma,separated,list of,words) Adds a word, phrase, or list of words/phrases to the blacklist. You must specify a channel name, or use "all" to add to the global blacklist. Note: entries in the global blacklist cannot be removed from individual channels. Instead, remove them from the global blacklist, and add them to the individual channels you want.
removeword (/tift removeword channelname comma,separated,list of,words) Removes a word, phrase, or list of words/phrases from the blacklist. Specify a channelname or "all" to add to the global blacklist. Because of the way words are added to the global list, they cannot be added to the global list then removed from one specific channel. In that case, remove the word from the global list, and add it to the specific channel/channels you want.
adduser (/tift adduser channelname yes/no) Adds a player to the blacklist. Specify a channel name to blacklist that user for one specific channel if no channelname is specified, it will default to all channels. Designate if you want the user added permanently or only for the amount of time specified by /tift removetime by following the user's name with yes or no. Defaults to "yes" (permanently added) if not specified, if you specify this, you *must* specify either "all" or a channel name for the channelname argument. This command will *not* accept multiple users at once.
removeuser (/tift removeuser comma-separated-list-of-players channelname) Removes a player or group of players from the blacklist. Specify a channel name to remove users added to specific channels.
removetime (/tift removetime #) Designates the number of days a player temporarily blacklist will remain on the blacklist. Defaults to 3.
autoblacklist (/tift autoblacklist yes/no) Turns auto blacklisting of the authors of filtered messages. Defaults to no (off).
listwords (/tift listwords channelname) Lists the currently blacklisted words and phrases for the specified channel. If none is specified it lists the global ("all channel") blacklist.
listusers (/tift listusers channelname) Lists the currently blacklisted users for the specified channel. If none is specified, it lists the global ("all channel") blacklist.
version (/tift version) Lists the current version of the addon.
channels (/tift channels) Opens the Social->Chat frame for you to turn filtering on or off for specific channels.
help (/tift help) Prints a brief description of the addon and lists its commands.
on (/tift on) Turns the addon on. The addon defaults to on.
off (/tift off) Turns the addon off. This can be used to quickly turn the addon off.
profile (/tift profile add/remove/list/switch)
add (/tift profile add profilename templateprofile) adds a the profile "profilename". You may specify a profile to use as a template. If none is specified, the current settings of the default profile are used.
remove (/tift remove profilename) Removes the profile "profilename".
list (/tift profile list) Lists the currently available profiles
switch (/tift profile switch profilename) Switches to the specified profile, which must exist.
use /tift <command> help while in-game for more information.

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.
