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

In reply to yessirreebob:
Good question. I have never come across that problem so I can't give you an answer.
In reply to hotluck2152:
Well, thanks for your help!
create a rule with the following formula;
tooltip( "\+%d+ fishing" )
then enable it and assign that rule to the same bar as all your other fishing gear
In reply to Arkayenro:
Excellent! I'll give it a go!
==UPDATE:
Your formula didn't work but
tooltip("Fishing") did
Are you adding in the new extra 4 slots in the backpack for Classic?
should be, as far as im aware the bag sizes are returned by the game, theres nothing extra to check in regards to the backpack, if you have a token it will return 20, if you dont it will return 16.
i have 20 slots in my classic backpack
I do have the 20 slots as well, however Ark Inventory says the backpack only has 16 slots and the total amount of slots does not add up either.
So Ark Inventory is hiding the extra 4 slots making them inaccessible.
paste this into the chat window
/dump GetContainerNumSlots( BACKPACK_CONTAINER )
does it say 16 or 20?
if it says 20 then go into edit mode and work out where they are, as everything will show in edit mode, and why they are hidden - ie did you hide that category, did you set the empty stack limit?
/dump GetContainerNumSlots( BACKPACK_CONTAINER )
Dump: value=GetContainerNumSlots( BACKPACK_CONTAINER )
[1]=16
I guess the 4 extra slots are an additional hidden bag or something like that?
Other Bag Addons already fixed that issue. Maybe take a look how they did it?
nope, theyre the same backpack. mine returns 20 and i see 20 slots.
the game isnt seeing your account as having an authenticator so youre not getting the extra slots.
double check your account security via their web site and if it says you do then open a ticket in game and ask them.
In reply to Arkayenro:
I have just checked and although Blizzard said it would give an extra 4 slots to people with an authenticator, they were lying. They are only giving it to people that have an authenticator AND the phone app so they have a mobile number to SMS to!
I've been using this add-on for years, and love it. Thanks for all your hard work.
I only have one question: is there a way in edit mode to show the titles of bars? I don't want the titles in normal mode because it takes up too much vertical space, but when I'm editing I have no idea which bar is assigned to what, and I have to check each one. It would be nice to set the titles, but only see them in edit mode.
EDIT: for example, in the AI settings->Designs>Bars->Style->Name, have a check for "Only show in edit mode", or something to that effect.
EDIT 2: Or maybe the option could be to show the Bar name and title when mousing over the bar number?Thanks
i'll probably go with your first option
Hi, I'm a little late here but just wanted to say thank you for adding the accounts section. I was finally able to delete info for a heap of old guilds and it's just such a nice small thing to see gone from tooltips lol.
Love the addon, thanks for all your work.
Hello, my "set-up", how I made my bags with this addon seem wonky lately. What can be the cause? Usually they look like this: https://imgur.com/a/v6LqvTu
with 5 "rows / bags", as I like it, but now they look like bottom picture, and I cant get it work like it was before. Some-times it reverts back to how I had it before...makes no sense. I thought it was an update that messed with my settings, but reverting back didnt help - I also haven't changed arkinventory settings in really long...happend like 5 days ago.
Hope the picture is clear enough.
i think you may have shifted to a different profile so go into the config and make sure you are using the profile you should be, and also check that its style, design, and category set are also correct
In reply to Arkayenro:
Its all correct, re-checked settings 4 times now...Maybe I should just re in-stall and spend 1-2 hour starting over :p Weird thing is that it jumps as I open my bags, so some-times the bags are back to normal, to just be messed up as I open them again - Maybe addon issue on my end, some other addon...idk.
the only other thing i can think of is that you have other categories enabled and bag categories are now lower in priority to active system and custom categories
go into edit mode and click on a bar that has items in it that shouldnt and make sure any categories assigned to that bar are disabled (they can be assigned they just cant be enabled)
Having an error since every verison after .25:
I have a rule for tabards and a rule for shirts.
Even though the itemstring-rule has the correct IDs, tabards are still put into "shirts"-rule-position and are also marked as being an item of the rule "shirts". Even though the itemstring IDs are correct and the tabard ID is NOT even in that rule.
Happens to other items as well.
Aware of this issue?
Didnt find any under "known issues".
Need further info?
Can post screenshots.
yes, some more info would be helpful.
whats the error?
whats in the two rules? the position and the forumla
you should be using the equip function with either "INVTYPE_BODY" or "shirt" for shirts, or "INVTYPE_TABARD" or "tabard" for tabards.
they shouldnt ever end up in the wrong category unless blizzard have screwed up
