I was wondering, now that we can link the items we can create, maybe an addon that could save this data would be nice, so I won't need to ask a person every time I wanna check if s/he can do something.
Or going further, maybe an addon that would talk with each other, saving in a DB everything a char can do.
Or, if it generates too much data, maybe a realtime search, the addon would look for who can craft that item with everyone with the addon installed.
i'm actually starting work on a chat monitor that will record tradeksill links and store them for easy retreival. the tradeskill links are actually pretty small, so i don't think it'd take too much space.
if you wanna get something crafted, you can open up the list of tradeskills and see all the people who've advertised (and maybe the date of the ad) and click a link to see who has what. it would also be possible to do a search of those links for a particular enchant, but i figure i'll start small.
it would, in essence, be like having a yellow pages.
lilsparky, hehe, going to be a counter part to my guild craft :D
yeah, but this would rely on advertising in chat rather than actively collecting info. altho, it would be nice to support guild craft and have a "guild pages" subsection. i hope i'm not stepping on your mod idea, but i figure the idea is a bit too obvious for somebody else not to come up with it.
well lilsparky, it's a similar enough idea, if you'd like we could work on a module for it togeather? My addon could easily be altered to support this idea as a module. It is gonna use alot of the same info, and i already got a working browser up and going :D

yeah, that sounds like a good idea. i'm working on the chat capture stuff right now and i'll let you know when i get something working.
hehe, while your working on that, take a look at "GuildCraft/DBO.lua" file in the addon. Just to make sure your not duplicateing ideas that have allready been accounted for.
Correct i ran into weird nil-links when i was capturing links from chat. If there is a good and strong interest in this.. feel free to open a ticket and vote it up, get your friends to vote it up too...
i've had the basis of a mod working for a few weeks now, but it's using the lib-st (scrolling table) library which is going thru a lot of changes at the moment.
it's ultra simple -- basically capture chat links and store them and present them in a sortable/filterable table. no recipe support at all, just the links (which of course are clickable).
rather than writing a browser for recipes, my intent is to just let people use whatever browser they like and simply add a button to let people add a recipe to watchlist. that watchlist would be used to identify people who can craft the things you want. it could also alert you when somebody advertises a link that contains a recipe you want.
right now i'm debating whether this should be part of the yellow pages mod or a separate shopping list mod (i'm leaning towards the second).

Just an idea.

Curse PremiumI grabbed GuildCraft, but I think this feature is not implemented yet. At least that's what's written on the project's page:
lilsparky didn't do anything either. So I think what I asked is still a request.
