Solution to chat loss annoyance
Elephant logs the chat for you in the background even when you get disconnected. It saves the WHISPER & BATTLE.NET, RAID, INSTANCE & BATTLEGROUND, PARTY, GUILD, SAY, YELL and OFFICER chats separately, but also all general chats (General, Trade, LocalDefense, …), custom chats you are currently on, achievements, loots, pet battles and finally system messages (auctions, rolls, server going down, …). You can easily go through all these logs, thanks to a straightforward interface displaying all the access buttons on the right side of the main window. You can access the options of the addon by typing /elephant and also bind a key to pop up the addon.
Elephant gives you the ability to copy up to 100,000 (yes, 100k) characters of logs to another application. A BBCode feature is even included, letting you copy/paste a chat with colors and links to an item database in a very quick and simple way to your favorite forum.
This is THE addon that you should install if you want to never forget what somebody told you in game. Be a pro of managing hell tells, go peacefully AFK for a few minutes, or be an awesome role player. Elephant is also perfectly designed for Guild Leaders, Officers and Raid Leaders particularly because it restores the chats after you've been disconnected.
Main features
- Logs the chats in the background, with a limit of 10,000 lines for each chat (Blizzard's default is 161 lines for everything).
- Saves the logs when you log out or get disconnected.
- Display the chats with timestamps, or using your Prat settings if you have it installed.
- Copy the chat and paste it in other applications (BBCode supported!), up to 100,000 characters.
- Save the chat and combat log in two different files on your computer (using the default Blizzard logging system).
Other features
- Use filters to avoid logging some of the custom channels you join.
- Enable/disable logging for each chat separately.
- Item links in logs are displayed in their proper color and are clickable.
- Player names in the main window are clickable.
- Customize the font and look of the main window.
- …and much more!

Posted Nov 10, 2006@ dan: Yes and no. Yes, because ChatLog lets the user to save all the chats in this file (combat chat is logged into WoWCombatLog.txt). No because I am using a Blizzard function that is impossible to custom, and thus, I can't limit the size of the file to 1MB for example (please check the "THIS ONLY CONCERNS LOGGING TO FILES" part of the Changelogs).
You can disable this logging by unchecking the checkbox at the top right corner of the main frame though.

Posted Nov 6, 2006@ TehFreek: v2.0+ should be compatible with TBC. You just have to change the number in the TOC file from 11200 to 20000 (line 1).

Posted Nov 6, 2006Any chance of a beta version? I'd be glad to test if you don't have beta access.
EDIT: Never mind, I'm blind.

Posted Nov 6, 2006I have found finally found the bug that a few users have. The "attempt to index field `?' (a nil value)" at line 1125 will be corrected in the next release. This error only happens on non-english clients, and comes from a bad channel name checking. ;)

Like a notepad document or a word document

Posted Oct 29, 2006@ wolftankk: Released 2.0.1a to correct this problem.
I'll add your work to MSE, but because it isn't the same AddOn, I'll probably make a totally new upload on Curse-Gaming ;) But this can eventually take some time, so I will first update the SVN :p
