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

first thing can you update arkinventory, youre running 30950, 30964 is the latest., see if it still happens or not.
In reply to Arkayenro:
Hmm, the addon manager says I'm using 30964 but sometimes it doesn't get the version right, I'll try manually updating it.
In reply to Arkayenro:
Ok, it says in-game that it's 30964 and I have the latest tiptac for tbc and it still is spitting out the same errors.
i found the issue in blizzards code, have added a workaround in 30964.1
In reply to Arkayenro:
And from where do I get 30964.1?
from the files tab
In reply to Arkayenro:
Oh, you updated 30964 with that .1 change? Because that's all I see.
In reply to Arkayenro:
Well, I downloaded the latest Arkinventory with the latest TipTac and the errors still appear. Maybe I'm not getting the right version of Arkinventory after all.
I'm seeing more and more Soulbound equipment with the default System > [402] Junk. Seeing this in both Classic TBC and Retail. Wasn't sure if this was intentional or something crazy going on in my settings?
Was curious if there was logic that did this to Soulbound equipment that couldn't be equipped, but today I see it with a ring that I can equip and a couple more items I can equip once I reach 60.
i think theres an option in there somewhere about soulbound equipment you cant wear being categorised as junk, i thought it was disabled by default but double check in the config
Hallo!
Happy Holidays everyone!
I seem to be encountering this weird issue:
1) Obtain new toy
2) Add toy to collection
3) Use toy
4) Get message that ArkInventory has been blocked from an action only available to the Blizzard UI <- or something similar, I didn't capture the exact wording.
Reload UI and everything is fine until the next toy addition. This is obviously hard to track down as I don't have a ton of toys to add. Next time I get a toy, I'll try disabling all addons except AI before adding it.
Be safe everyone.. and thanks for the years of a great addon Arkayenro.
toy usage is a protected function so ai can no longer be used to "use" a toy. if you try you should get a warning about it and told to drag it to an action bar instead
Hi. After updating via curseforge app -- https://imgur.com/a/9txsruw on every launch. Even if I remove addon and settings and reinstall it. Update button fixes problem, but next start curseforge app -- same warning. BCC wow is not installed, only retail.
sorry, i cant help with installer issues, youd need to contact curse/overwolf
there are client specific tagged files (for releases, alphas are generic) so the installers can tell them apart, if they cant then im not sure what else i can do from my side
In reply to Arkayenro:
So after a refresh the description under the ArkInventory title says "ArkInventory-3.09.61-BurningCrusade.zip" even though I'm looking at my WoW Retail addons list. Just to clarify, you are saying this is a CurseForge issue with reading your tags, correct? I have put in a support ticket with CurseForge with screenshots of the issue.
yes. if its downloading the burningcrusade file for retail then the installer is screwy, theyre also not my tags, theyre curses tags, i just select them from a dropdown
check the files tab, you can clearly see that each 3.09.61 file is tagged for only one specific game client
the only files i dont tag with a specific client (i tag it with all three) are the alphas
its the exact same file for all three clients anyway, so it shouldnt matter which one they do download for my mod, but some mods are specific
In reply to Arkayenro:
Got it. Thanks for replying so quickly. I love ArkInventory.
<p>Hi, every time I log in I'm getting a pop up asking me to name Guild Bank Tab 1 (and to choose an icon). It seems to be produced by ArkInventory as it doesn't appear when I disable the addon, but I can't find any settings for this in the addon itself. The pop up disappears if I name the tab and choose an icon but doesn't ask for any other tabs / icons, and there doesn't appear to be any change to my guild bank. It then reappears on login. (EDIT for clarity: also, seems to have been produced by a recent build, in the last couple of weeks perhaps.)</p>
see https://github.com/arkayenro/arkinventory/issues/1531
appears to be an issue with the elvui skinning module for the guild bank
