##Plugins
These plugins allow clicking on the panel/plugin icon to open BankItems, giving a summarized view of inventory slots and money of each character on the same realm, and deleting data with the menu quickly.
- LDB plugin for BankItems: BankItems provides a LDB launcher if LibDataBroker-1.1 is detected to be loaded. (built-in)
##Commands
- /bi : open BankItems
- /bi all : open BankItems and all bags
- /bi allbank: open BankItems and all bank bags only
- /bi clear : clear currently selected player's info
- /bi clearall : clear all players' info
- /bi showbuttun : show the minimap button
- /bi hidebutton : hide the minimap button
- /bi open charname : open bank of charname on the same server
- /bi charname : open bank of charname on the same server
- /bi search itemname : search for items
- /bis itemname : search for items
- /bigb : open BankItems guild bank
- /bi clear : clear currently selected player's info
- /bigb clear : clear currently selected guild's info
Most options are found in the GUI options panel.
Not a bug
If you close your bank after retrieving/storing an item in it too quickly and the server hasn't updated your inventory, BankItems is unable to record the change to your bank when the item actually moves later. The WoW API does not give you any data about your bank once BANK_FRAME_CLOSED event has fired.
Tooltip information regarding items on the Auction House, Mailbox and Guild Bank(s) may be out of date and thus be inaccurate. They will only be updated on your next visit to the respective places.
##Credits
Original concept from Merphle
Maintained by JASlaughter, Galmok@Stormrage-EU, and Xinhuan@Blackrock/Barthilas/Frostmourne-US.

Posted Sep 7, 2012Hello everyone, I have hacked together an update to make this addon work with 5.0.4, including cybermind's void storage support (with some modifications). I "fixed" a bunch of errors mostly by commenting out the lines that were causing trouble, so the search and export features are still nonfunctional, and the minimap button is altogether removed. The keyring has been removed, although the code still has some traces of it.
Before looking at old data, it is recommended to log into each character so some of the old data can be overwritten, as I did not write an update filter. Specifically, equipped items (and void storage) cannot be viewed until you have logged into that character and refreshed it.
The "updated" package can be found at http://cl.ly/3J0S3f3H2r3X.
I also made a version where looking at the currently logged in player's inventory or bank will toggle the real bags instead of showing the bankitems bags, letting you use them like normal. In addition if you have bank bags open in bankitems and then open the real bank, it closes the copies and opens the bags from your bank. Works well if you have "Open with blizzard bags" checked. http://cl.ly/3M0Z0M280o09

Posted Sep 1, 2012Hey all .. I'm still using this addon in 5.04 but I had an error everytime I wanted to look at equipped items on my chars. I found a workaround this by removing the Rangedslot & Ammoslot lines. Change these lines in the LUA file ....
378 "MAINHANDSLOT",
379 "SECONDARYHANDSLOT",
380 "RANGEDSLOT",
381 "TABARDSLOT",
382 "AMMOSLOT",
383 [0] = "AMMOSLOT"
to these lines .....
378 "MAINHANDSLOT",
379 "SECONDARYHANDSLOT",
380 "TABARDSLOT",
381 [0] = "SECONDARYHANDSLOT"
Hope this helps.

Posted Aug 15, 2012I was excited to use this addon as the idea seems very useful. However, it is of no use to me at all! The addon does not tell the difference between "sub accounts" on my BattleNet ID. I have 1 BattleNet account, with 2 sub-accounts.
My main is on one sub-account, and my alts are on another sub-account, but both are are on the same battle net account. When I log onto my alts, it scans their bank slots as it should do and creates a small profile for each character, but then when I log on to my main, that data cannot be seen at all.
I just thought I'd leave this feedback, because it's hugely disappointing that the addon cannot work with multiple accounts. I sincerely hope that it's possible to add this feature to it.

Posted Aug 19, 2012Addons are only able to save data per character or per WoW account. They are not able to save data that is accessible to another WoW account (including another one on the same Battle.net account).

Posted Aug 29, 2012I've been using this addon with multiple accounts, and what I have to do is not elegant, but it works.
When I log between accounts I go to the ...\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\accountname\SavedVariables directory and manually copy the BankItems.lua file from the account I've been playing to the one I am going to play next. Clunky, but it gets the job done.

Posted Aug 30, 2012u cannot use any addon to record any data on other account, because each account save their own character data (including addon data) on different folder. most addons, if not all, only read data on the log-in account, i dont know if WoW have any restriction on the addons for reading datas on other folder. If it could, just imagine some malicious addon trying to read ur personal folders......

Posted Jun 9, 2012There may already be a way to do this,if so i appologize (any help figuring out would be great). But would love to see a way of searching the bank that would allow me to find yellow items scattered across characters. Otherwise love this addon and thanks for all the hard work.

Posted May 16, 2012I absolutely love this addon, I have been using it for years, with all 10 character slots filled, it comes in very handy. I would like to suggest an update that includes the void storage of each character if that would be possible. I often find myself getting random drops and wondering if I already have it saved for my transmog gear. Thanks so much for your hard work!

Posted Apr 11, 2012Note: I am not the author of BankItems.
I added Void Storage support to the latest version of BankItems. I do not know if this will work as a drop-in upgrade to previous versions, so upgrade to the latest version above first.
The icon for the Void Storage "bag" is located next to the Currency bag icon (it's kind of an ugly place, but it works). It is considered a "bank bag" for the purposes of search filtering, but not for keybinds/commands that open up windows (i.e. it will not open up with /bi allbank).
I uploaded the replacement BankItems.lua file to one of my addon's sites:
http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/atlasloot_classes/files/10-bank-items-void-storage-update/
Just unzip into the Wow\Interface\Addons\ folder like you were upgrading the addon normally and reload.

Posted Feb 24, 2012While on the Spine of Deathwing tonight in Looking-For-Raid, I was setting a Corrupted Amalgamation to my focus subject (to monitor its blood stacks) and Bank Items bugged out on me and disabled itself midbattle. I spent about thirty-forty five seconds waiting for a loading screen so I could get back into battle. This is a great program for using multiple characters but is causing lots of issues in-game for me by somehow affecting my wow default "user interface." I really hope I can continue to use this program without it hindering my gameplay. Also wishing there was someway to delete data from deleted characters, or if there is, I wish I knew how to do that.

Posted Jan 29, 2012I have a request to cross link the item "Enchanting: Enchanting Boots - Mastery with Scroll "Enchant Boots - Mastery"
This would allow me to see all the stats that Bankitems provides as basic while I look through my enchanting skill book.
