About Book of Crafts
Purpose
Book of Crafts (BoC) is a simple add-on which provide you with information regarding your other characters crafts. With it activated, whenever you display a recipe tooltips, it will list which character know this recipe already, which character may learn it now and which character will be able to learn it later.
In case no character is concerned by this recipe, a simple message is displayed.
Some special notes:
- By default, currently played character is not displayed in lists, because top of recipe text should inform you about "known" state. However an option is available to force current character listing
- When a recipe requires a craft specialisation, character should know this specialisation to be listed. Knowing the base craft is not enough. For instance, if your character knows "Dragon scale leather crafting", it won't be listed for a "tribal leather working" recipe even though it is a leather craft.
However, if you work with add-ons which do not handle tooltips correctly, through hook functions, BoC may be unable to display any information. So be sure to check which add-on you have in use before blaming BoC ^_^
Options
You may access to options through 3 ways:
- with '/boc' command (or '/bookofcrafts')
- A myAddOn button (my favorite way... if myAddon is installed)
- A binding key, through normal binding menu
Available options are :
- Same faction: Search of characters is limited to same faction as currently played one
- Show skill level: If option is active, listed characters will show their current craft skill level (for instance 'Lini (78)'. Otherwise, only the name will be displayed)
- Show chat message: More feedback is displayed in chat frame
- Tooltip colors: choose your own color for BoC tooltip text and background
- Show also current character in lists.
- Use side tooltip: BoC Information is displayed in a detached tooltip
Credits
My big thanks to Ayradyss, maker of "RecipeBook" addon. I've been a first user of this add-on, but found myself in need of something different and I have developped "BookOfCrafts" (also at this time, RecipeBook development was stopped). This is thanks to "RecipeBook" that I started to get involved in Add-on development.
However, there is no competition with "Recipe book" and Ayradyss. Perhaps you should check also this add-on as it is a great add-on that you might prefer for its different features.
- Special thanks to Lombra who has fixed the "Bind on pickup" problem while I stopped playing Wow for 8 months
- Special thanks to Bburt for his overall help
- Special thanks to Ghandi and Ayradyss for German translation
- Special thanks to Lisurc a.k.a Lisenrak Sargeras (European server), for maintaining and tweaking BoC while I was away
- Special thanks to ArtureLeCoiffeur and Tezaro for their bug fixing skills
- ... and my thanks for all of you for your feedback

Finally got a release status version out there. It's essentially finished. I would've tagged it beta if not for the fact that most people only update to release versions.
Hi,
I haven't used BOC for ages but now I see it back I am giving it a try. It does function but not perfectly and you have asked for all feedback regardless lol. Here is the error I am getting and only at the Auction House and I am using the most current version of Auctioneer (AuctioneerSuite-5.13.5224.zip) as well but it doesn't seem to be causing the problem when disabled. Also it isn't colouring recipes at the Auction House but it is at vendors. I am using En-US on Oceanic Server Horde side but also plays up on Alliance.
Error:
Date: 2011-10-18 18:40:04 ID: 1 Error occured in: Global Count: 1 Message: ..\AddOns\BookofCrafts\Core.lua line 1245: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value) Debug: (tail call): ? [C]: ?

Let me know if you want me to try something to help out as it is so good to see this fantastic add-on back
Hi,
this error seems to be related to auction house coloring indeed. Probably because Auctioneer modifies the auction house. I'll see if I can make it work, but no promises. (I can get rid of the error though, of course)
Hi Lombra,
Thanks for your reply. Any help would be greatly appreciated including, nuking just the error lol. However if you can get it to work with Auctioneer that would be awesome
.
Thanks in advance
I'm happy to announce the revival of Book of Crafts! Blackdove has stopped playing WoW, but I intend to maintain this from now on.
Beta 4.0.0 is considered stable, but not flawless. Internally it has changed significantly. To the end user, it remains mostly the same.
Enjoy!
thank you so much lombra! what a wonderful addon!
i look forward to an updated version.
I (we ?) love this addon because I don't have to open alts profession window to know if they need a recipe.
It does most of the same stuff nearly as well as BoC did.
It also does a lot of other stuff, but I disable most of that.
If Blackdove ever comes back and updates BoC, I'll be back in a heartbeat, but unless that happens TSI is the best replacement I've been able to find.
