ArkInventory
ArkInventory (for Retail, Classic, and Cataclysm)
The NoLib variant
it seems quite a few people are somehow getting the NoLib variant from their download client when they didn't specifically ask for it instead of the full variant and its causing issues as they don't have the required libraries installed separately. Please ensure you are downloading the full variant. if you see nolib in the filename then its the wrong variant, unless you are actually installing all of the required libraries separately as well. If you have to you can manually download the full variant from here.
Junk Sell getting blocked
While auto-destroy remains blocked, From 30960 onwards you can setup a Key Binding to manually sell and destroy your items. Note that blizzard require one keypress per deletion, so if you have multiple items that need to be deleted you will need to press the Key Binding multiple times. A message will be output if you have remaining items that can still be deleted.
Alpha / Beta Versions: Ensure you make a backup copy of your saved variables file
Sometimes you cannot revert back to a previous version without a backup so before installing any alpha/beta version please make sure you have made a backup of your saved variable file
Your saved variable file is normally located in ...\World of Warcraft\_client_\WTF\Account\yourwowaccountname\SavedVariables\ArkInventory.lua
If you have your download client set to automatically download alpha/beta versions then it is your responsibility to ensure you have adequate backups of your saved variables file - do not complain if you lose your configuration or it gets screwed up because of an alpha/beta version, it is always a possibility so you need to be prepared.
A simple way to back it up is to just do a copy and paste then rename the new file (using the version number of ArkInventory or the date is a good idea), eg ArkInventory-30900.lua, or ArkInventory-20191228.lua

If you are having an issue then the first step is to disable all other mods and just test ArkInventory by itself
If the issue is still there then please check for an existing issue and lodge a new ticket if required.
If the issue is gone then re-enable your other mods one by one until the issue comes back, then report that to me as well as the other mods author
When posting a comment about an error please do not include the list of addons or really long traces, just the actual error message is fine. If I need more I'll ask you for it.
ArkInventory's display windows are built from "virtual bars", you assign categories to bars so that items in that category are displayed on the specific bars you want. There is no limit to the number of bars you can have inside a window but obviously you only have so much screen real estate before it becomes "too many".
ArkInventory uses several methods to assign a default category to an item such as what professions you have, tooltip scanning, basic type/subtype and PeriodicTable. You then assign those categories to a virtual bar.
You can also over-ride the default category by creating a rule that matches either a single or multiple items.
Overview:
- user configurable window width and height
- separate keybindings for each location for easy viewing
- assign items to a category of your choice (overrides the default assignment)
- assign categories to the bar of your choice
- unlimited number of bars (there are practical limits though before your screen becomes full)
- sort each bar differently if required
- user configurable bars per row
Key Bindings:
Press ESCAPE to bring up the blizzard menu
click on Key Bindings
scroll down to ArkInventory
bind the keys you want to use

not in game. i can only duplicate it if i close wow, change the layout-cache.txt file to alter the framelevel for ARKINV up to 127, then start wow
in which case the workarounds i've added always put it back to normal.
if whatevers pushing the framelevel up to 127 is always there (ie another mod always loaded) then it will eventually get pushed too far up again and the background ends up over the top making AI useless.
bah...I changed the bank bars config ....and then my bags config is changed too :( Is it possible to seperate bank and bags completely?
turn off use global settings (main menu) to make them all different
ArkInventory v2.00 [2007-JUN-17-20-45] (Beta) reports:
"Interface\AddOns\ArkInventory\ArkInventory.lua:6460: attempt to index field 'category' (a nil value)
Error occurs when WoW loads after character selection.
Also noticed that this ArkInventory version does not discriminate between Soulbound Equipment and Non-Soulbound Equipment.
When selecting "Rules" in ArkInventory, WoW crashes. This appears to be repeatable.

I've been trying this addon for about two weeks, keeping track of the updates, including the just-posted new beta.
I'm going to have to give this addon a thumbs down (for now). Occasionally, it gets in a mode such that when I open my bag, all tha bag slots are disabled and dark. They can't be clicked or moved or anything. The bag is basically locked. Logging and even restarting WoW doesn't seem to fix.
I use x-perl, metahud, fubar, bongos, etc, which are all very popular and useful addons. If one of these is perhaps the culprit, then perhaps you should try to coordinate with those mod developers and try to get to the bottom of this situation. As is, I can't continue to use this mod.
It's a shame because the idea and the overall design is fantastic. I WANT TO BELIEVE!!!
Well...it's a good thing that your thumbs down count for nothing. This addon is awesome and Arkayenro is doing a great job. The fact that there are lots of updates proves that he's doing great. Keep up the good work Arkayenro.
-D
Dunno if it's in the new beta because it doesn't work with the german verion, but do you plan to, or did you implement options, so that I can also sort for weapons, breast/shoulder/etc armor?
And one last thing, can you add a function that splits one part of the selected item into the bag; e.g. you shift rightclick a stack of gold ores and your addon separates one gold ore from the stack to a free bagslot. That would be cool for selling things in the ah.
Thx!
Well I have been having a problem with my bank bags, I get locked out and can't remove anything from them. Works on some of my toons but is slowly moving it's way down to the rest of them.
I have: 1. /Reloadui 2. Made sure i have newest file 3. I have log of and back on and still no good. 4. Turned it off till I see what the problem is.
Ok! Sorry. I find another way this problem. Now everything is god
God mod.. but cant recognice the spell reagent items, dont put in that 'REAGENT' slot. eg. Shiny Fish Scales -> shaman, or Light Feather -> mage, priest spell reagent
If you cant get stuff from bank you dont need to relog. Just click on something in your inventory so its put into bank, then you should be able to get the stuff out. Always works for me :)
and there is always the refresh button, works wonders :)
To Ark: Thank you very much for all your hard work on creating, maintaning, and updating this mod! Cheers to you my friend, I for one would be lost without AI. To Complainers: /agree (with Ark) To those with bank issues: I have had the issue where if i <toggle bank> from anywhere other than at the bank, when I go to the bank and open AI there, I am unable to take anything out! Simply log out then log back in...works every time for me! <Be good, be safe, have FUN!>>
[Quote: from now on you all either live with it, change mods (good luck as they all seem to be affected), use the workaround i added or don't bother complaining about it.
there is absolutely nothing i can do to stop it from happening. ]
/sob
Great to see an update, this is one of my essential addons. Thank you for the hard work on it :]
./cheer! my fav bag mod is back!:D
Mad-b-one: Yes I tried nr.1. And it didnt help. Sigh... :\
Logging in with another char helps. Switch back and it should work for the rest of the session.
To 1.) : Ever tried it? It does not help anything! The bug is not in the lua, so - as others do - I wait for a fix and delete it meanwhile.
