Main
I have just updated this addon to work for BoP recipes, all credits goes to the original author, Blackdove.
(rest of description taken from original project page, slightly modified - http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/1014/)
PURPOSE
BookOfCrafts (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. Knwing 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.
- Works with regular chat message hyperlinks, merchant, bank, bags tooltips.
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 Rank: 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 Msg: More feedback is displayed in chat frame
- Tooltip colors: choose your own color for BoC tooltip text and background
- Display miscellaneous informative chat messages (used for debug generally)
- Show also current character in lists.
- Use Side Tooltip: BoC Information is displayed in a detached tooltip

KNOWN PROBLEMS

DEPENDENCIES
There is no mandatory dependency. This is a standalone add-on
NOTES
This add-on has been thoroughly tested in French only. It is provided with Deutsch and English localization which I cannot test, so the quality of BoC behavior in those 2 languages highly depends heavily on users feedback.
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 Bburt for his overall help
Special thanks to Ghandi and Ayradyss for German translation
... and my thanks for all of you for your feedback
