HandyNotes

Table of Contents

Handy Notes for your maps. This addon is intended to be a small and simple framework for showing notes on your map.

Use /handynotes to access options.

You can add notes to the maps in 3 ways:

Alt-RightClick on the world map to add a note.
Use "/hnnew" without the quotes to add a note at your current location.
Use "/hnnew x,y" without the quotes to add a note at location x,y on your current zone's map.

HandyNotes supports plugins that other authors can write to display their own set of notes on the map. See this link for a list of such addons: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/search?search=handynotes

I keep receiving this error every time my screen reloads.

Rather it be intentional or between zoning.

Hope this helps.

There is a yellow exclamation mark to show "low level quests" but it would be nice if you added a blue exclamation mark so we can mark where dailies are located. For now I use the yellow mark :)

This mod conflicts with ItemNotes (in game - not in the WoW Addons interface at loading screen); one addon will disable the other.

I'm using svn to check out this addon and its libs. Astrolabe's svn repository is down, and so I downloaded the package from curseforge and unpacked it in the HandyNotes/Libs directory.

Notes do not show on the minimap in Uldum unless you do a /reload after entering the zone. They do not show on the minimap in the Molten Front no matter what you do.

I am getting no errors though.

Is it safe to assume that the author hasn't had time to update this addon ?
I still get too many errors running this addon to be able to use it . Sadly there is no way for me to copy the wall of data that buggrabber spits out when I try to enable this addon .
I hope you can get back to this soon Xinhuan , I really came to rely on this for my mapnotes.

Go to your WoW install folder, /WTF/*Account name*/Saved variables and copy Handynotes.lua.
Then paste it to /WTF/*other account name*/Saved variables

Since the 4.0.6 patch, notes do not work in Uldum. They will show on the zone map but not on the minimap. In every other zone, it works fine.

It's even stranger than that. Notes created before the patch show on the minimap but not the zone map. New notes do the opposite.

I fixed it by editing the saved variables and deleting everything under Uldum. Then had to redo all the notes. What a pain.

I ended up just renaming ["Uldum"] to ["Uldum_terrain1"] in the saved variables file. Probably to get it to show up in the zone and the minimap you would have to have both sections with duplicate entries?

Hi,
Thnx 4 the addon. But on my setup, the "Handy Note" dialog always displays under the world map, thus requiring me to close the world map whenever I want to make a new note or edit an existing node.

Cheers,
Nap.

I fixed the problem by editing HandyNotes_EditFrame.lua (in the Interface\Addons\HandyNotes folder).

Change:
local HNEditFrame = CreateFrame("Frame", "HNEditFrame", UIParent)
TO:
local HNEditFrame = CreateFrame("Frame", "HNEditFrame", WorldMapFrame)

This line is located at about line 18 of the v1.2.0 version
