Guildbank is an addon which makes guild bank inventory managment a little easier. It has two main features, storing the age of items that you are carrying so that you know which items you have had for the longest and an easy way for you to display your inventory, and broadcast it out to the rest of the guild.

GuildBank has two dependancies EnhTooltips and Stubby. You can either get them as part of the auctioneer package, or download them directly from the links below.

The Add-on is configured by default not to load automatically for all of your characters. (In order to save memory). When you first run guildbank on your bank character you should type /guildbank load always so that Guildbank will now always load when you log into your character.

Guildbank has alternately a GUI and a command driven interface. The GUI is the preffered method as it allows access to better filtering information. To make the gui appear just type /guildbank, or /gb.

On the GUI there's a combo box where you can specify how you want the items sorted, various filters for the age of items, rarity and bag number. There are also 3 buttons. Broadcast sends your inventory to your target - either your guild, a channel, or a player Display shows the item list locally. Refresh updates the local cache -- in case the auto updates aren't fast enough for you.

The target radio buttons allow you to specify who you want the message to go to. -Guild sends the messages to guildchat -Channel sends the messages to the channel specified in the channel text (use the channel number) -Player sends the message to the specified player.

When you display your item list, Guildbank outputs some information locally to your main console window. If you create a window called "guildbank" then the output will be sent there instead. This is configurable by editing guildbank.lua in your saved variables folder. The information contains the (bagnumber, slotnumber) for each item, the item, and the amount of time you have had the item.

When you display the items in the item list guildbank automatically splits the items into pages. The default page size is 12 items. If you want to change it you need to edit the guildbank.lua in your saved variables folder. After the first page has been displayed press the broadcast button again to continue from where you left off.

The following are valid commands.

/guildbank - manually refresh the inventory list useful if you have been handing out items. (Note that you can also use /gb) - also displays rudimentary UI - which allows you to broadcast by type.

/guildbank load - load the GuildBank add-on.

/guildbank load always - force the GuildBank add-on to load always for this character

/guildbank load never - stop auto-loading the GuildBank add-on for this character

/guildbank display [sort] [spam] [bagnum] - displays your item list locally. Sort can be one of the following name - sort by name age - sort by how long you have have been carrying items agerev - sort by how long you have had something starting with newest items first type - sort by the item category spam is an optional argument which is used to broadcast your list to your guild. You can configure how many items are displayed at a time by editing the constants at the top of the GuildBank.lua file. bagnum allows you to whisper only items from a specific bag.

/guildbank whisper [sort] [target] [bagnum] - whispers your item list to your <target>. Sort can be one of the following name - sort by name age - sort by how long you have have been carrying items agerev - sort by how long you have had something starting with newest items first type - sort by the item category target - the name of the person you are whispering to. bagnum - allows you to whisper only items from a specific bag.

If you choose not to use the pre-made UI, then I recommended that you create the following macros for you guildbank character.

/guildbank

use this until I get the event hooks in place. If you're in the middle of sending your inventory list to the guild, and you mail out something that hasn't been seen yet this will force an update. Also it displays handy UI that you can use to spam from.

/guildbank display age

display the items in age order locally. This is great for figuring out what to sell when you run out of inventory space.

/guildbank display type

this one is still experimental, but if you like the way that it works then make sure to add it as a spam option. Items are sorted by the type of item and its level, but since my bank doesn't usually get items I don't know how well it really works in practice. The function GuildBank_typesort in GuildBank.lua is where this function is implemented. Feel free to tweak it if you can find a better way to sort.

/guildbank display name

display your list of items locally sorted by name..

/guildbank display name spam

display your list of items in sorted order to the guild in 'pages' as defined at top of the GuildBank.lua file. Pushing the button repeatedly will print out the next page until the entire list is complete. Usually I give about a minute between pages so that people can reply that they are interested in an item.
