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
- Filters to display only trainers you are interested in
- Better support for Weapon Masters to remember which skills each one is teaching

zarevak Sat, 25 Oct 2008 13:59:49Hi 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

fixitman Fri, 24 Oct 2008 21:25:21I'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?
