Frequently asked questions

Why it doesn't work?
Please check if you have HandyNotes installed. Also note HandyNotes_Trainers doesn't come with preconfigured database. You can help me create one by sending me your SavedVariables file to my email: zarevak [a] gmail [point] com
Will it work with my Map addon (Mapster, Cartographer, ...)
Yes, it will. HandyNotes are written independently on any Map addon and if your addon doesn't screw up, it will work.
Will it work with Cartographer?
Cartographer notes use Cartographer_Notes addon as base for its note system. HandyNotes are using their own system independently on Cartographer. HandyNotes icons will be shown on your Cartographer, but they won't be available to addons working with Cartographer notes.

Planned features

    It seems to be working great. If I find any other issues, I'll be sure to post another detailed ticket.

    Hi fixitman, thank you for your testing and help! I've applied your patch, created all missing icons and released a beta version of the addon. Please, let me know if everything works as expected.

    I'll take a look at this tonight and try to get something back to you by Sunday. Thanks for the reply.

    EDIT:
    I just posted a ticket with my findings regarding the trainers. Let me know if you need any further information.

    Hi fixitman,
    you are right, currently Profession trainers don't use their respective icons. I don't have active WoW subscription, but with your help, we can manage to get the icons working.
    Each trainer icon should have tooltip with trainer's name, guild and trainer type (should be same color as the name) - can you please send me list of the trainer types, which are displayed in your tooltips?

    Bit of background: The trainer types are from GetTrainerServiceSkillLine(2) function call and I don't know, what are the results of this function in WoW 3.0.x and I don't know, if the results are language dependent.

    You can add icons in your installation by patching the iconDB table on line 40 of addon.lua. The key should be trainer type displayed in the tooltip and the value is the image used.

    Thank you for your interest and your help

    I'm presently seeing correct icons for class trainers, but all profession trainers display the book icon (misc.tga). Is this normal for this stage in development?
