Profession AddOns
Due to the increasing data size and memory usage with each WoW expansion, the professions have been split into their own AddOns; you need only download the ones you'll be using. Each installed and enabled profession AddOn will load whenever it's first accessed by the ARL core.
The individual profession AddOns can be found here:
- Alchemy
- Blacksmithing
- Cooking
- Enchanting
- Engineering
- Inscription
- Jewelcrafting
- Leatherworking
- Mining
- Tailoring
Note that Ackis Recipe List will not work without the AddOn for the profession you are trying to scan. If you attempt to scan a profession that is not installed, you will be informed.
Where to get it

Feature Requests/Bug Reporting
Read the Bug Reporting and Feature Requesting information before submitted a bug report or feature request. Posting reports in the comments is not the place to do so. Ackis had to turn off the comments at Curse.com because of constant bug reports and feature requests. Comments are for questions on how to use the mod, or you can see the thread on WoW Ace. Please follow these small little instructions to make our lives easier. The easier you make development for Ackis Recipe List, the more time we will have to develop other addons.
Bug Reports
Please use the WoW Ace tracker to file bug reports. Posting bugs in the comments is not the place to do it.

Integration
Ackis Recipe List strives to integrate with existing trade skill mods out there. If you have a request for integration, please submit a feature request at WoW Ace. We make no promises to implement the feature at all. There is a limited API documented to interface with the ARL database. If you are a developer and would like more functions, please contact us on IRC. Currently, the mod works with:

Posted Jun 15, 2014This is completely wrong. Modules are load on demand so they only load when you require them. The main mod will always load but the modules will only load and uload as required so this will result in lower memory footprint overall.
For example the previous method for Ackis it would load every single tradeskill whether you used it or not basically wasting memory on loaded modules your currently logged in character does not even have. This way it now loads only the modules of the tradeskills you actually have learned when the charcter loads or when they are learned on a new character. so depending on the tradeskills you learn you may in fact only have a couple modules loaded.
This way will save memory overall however the amount of memory in the long run is probably pretty pointless to worry about in this day and age. I use over 100 mods and I never go over 100 megs of memory usage so kind of pointless to worry about module based addons like this one. Some other much larger mods such as deadlyboss mods greatly benefits from load on demand modules. The other good thing with modules is bug fixing and updating so really in the log run its better all around. The best thing though would be a proper public, non curse client, combined download and obviously more and more people are asking for this.

Posted Jun 10, 2014Wow, just wow. I have been wondering why i'm getting an error. Extemely poor judgement in taking the modules out. Text file in Ackis says "Clarify that the professions are AddOns." So what use is Ackis without the addons?
Where do the addons need to be installed? The interface folder or inside the Ackis folder inside the interface folder? Guess I'll have to experiment on my own.

Posted Jun 12, 2014Each Ackis Recipe List profession addon should be treated exactly the same as any other addon, install them directly into the Interface folder alongside the main ARL addon. If you install them inside the Ackis folder they won't work and you will just get error messages about them not being installed or enabled.
There are various reasons why the ARL dev team have decided to do this; less memory usage in game, easier for the ARL dev team to update individual profession modules as needed which then leads to smaller download files for the end user, easier for the ARL team to manage overall, easier for the end user to only download and install the profession modules they want.
Yes, it's a bit of a pain to have to download each file initially, but once you've done that you'll only ever have to do that again when there's an Interface .toc number update which only happens when there's a main WoW patch.

Posted Jun 10, 2014I spent ages getting the error message saying it canot be loaded due to either being switched off or not downloaded until i searched through all of the comments, might i ask why you decided to split all of the modules up, i read people must download the specific ones they need unfortunately as like most WoW players i have characters with almost every profession making this far more time consuming :( would it be at all possible to group them back up into a single file to download like it used to be why must things change :(

Posted Jun 10, 2014I agree that this was not a smart Idea but you dont have to change it, but please offer an additional "All-in-One" Download. So everybody who like to have all can download it all at once and everybody else can use just the parts he wants

Posted Jun 9, 2014I have to agree with Thornhip, 11 profession modules in addition to the main program is a bad idea. Not everyone uses Curse autoupdate for various reasons, and having to download 12 items instead of one is a chore.
Please roll all the modules back into the main program, if people don't want to use them they don't have to. I find it unlikely that users competent enough to run this add-on would have any difficulty disabling the ones they don't want and they're all pretty small anyway.
I can think of no good reason to break this great add-on up into 12 annoying chunks. Please revert.

Posted Jun 9, 2014So, let me get this straight...
You wanted to save us some memory usage by splitting off the list into separate files, and decided on a separate addon for each one. So now a good portion of the uses (non curse client, Mac users, Linux Wine users, etc,) have to open 11 more web pages, click though twice on each, and unpack 11 other compressed files to add to our addons folder.... ::facepalm::
DBM manages the load on demand just fine with multiple files in a single download, you can have more then one folder in a pack....
note: You may want to add a "fall back" in the code in case there are not any list packs installed, it's just good coding not to asume everyone reads the fine print.

Posted Jun 9, 2014I used to run Linux, now I'm on a Mac. I have no issues with marking AddOns as favorite so I can download them when they're updated. The point of the split wasn't just memory concerns; it was also so that if all you care about is Alchemy and Tailoring, updates to the Leatherworking recipes wouldn't necessitate a 1MB download that you care nothing about. Get what you want, and no more.
If you want them all, it's a one-time cost to download all 11 profession AddOns, and setting them as favorites will get you an e-mail whenever one is updated.
As for a "fall back" - that's what the popup dialog stating that the profession you're trying to scan isn't installed or is disabled is for. I don't see what other possibility there is, since WoW can't say "Oh, you don't have this - let me get that for you!"

Posted Jun 9, 2014A bind-on-pickup indicator would be very useful. It's painful to fly out to some remote spot on a main to buy a recipe for an alt and then discover the recipe can't be transferred. (Like sending my druid to Moonglade and Winterspring for some of the tailor and alchemy recipes there.)

Posted Jun 6, 2014Did you download the profession modules you want to use? If not, look at the Modules section of the description.
Each profession was split off into its own addon.

Posted Jun 7, 2014You should add a notice at the very top of the Description page because people are not obviously noticing that it is modular based now. Also be nice to have all the modules in a single download publicily available not like the one you have which only uses curse client or premium account.

Posted Jun 6, 2014I mean a proper all in one module download. I know it can be done separatley but that is time wasting for some people. It takes longer for curse to get its site in gear to send files individually then to just have an all in 1 as well. The one you link requires either the client or premium account.

Posted Jun 6, 2014That's not possible unless we go back to the old all in 1 addon, which we moved away from due to increasing file sizes, and high memory usage.
