Elephant
"Shoot... what did he say again? I just got disconnected."
"Didn't that folk already loot that rare item 10 minutes ago?"
"I really wish I could remember the name of the item linked on the guild chat yesterday at 9:00 PM."
...
Already been in one of these situations? Don't be annoyed anymore, here is the solution!
Solution to chat loss annoyance
Elephant logs the chat for you in the background even when you get disconnected. It saves the WHISPER & BATTLE.NET, RAID, INSTANCE & BATTLEGROUND, PARTY, GUILD, SAY, YELL and OFFICER chats separately, but also all general chats (General, Trade, LocalDefense, ...), custom chats you are currently on, achievements, loots and finally system messages (auctions, rolls, server going down, ...). You can easily go through all these logs, thanks to a straightforward interface displaying all the access buttons on the right side of the main window. You can access the options of the addon by typing /elephant and also bind a key to pop up the addon.
Elephant gives you the ability to copy up to 100,000 (yes, 100k) characters of logs to another application. A BBCode feature is even included, letting you copy/paste a chat with colors and links to an item database in a very quick and simple way to your favorite forum.
This is THE addon that you should install if you want to never forget what somebody told you in game. Be a pro of managing hell tells, go peacefully AFK for a few minutes, or be an awesome role player. Elephant is also perfectly designed for Guild Leaders, Officers and Raid Leaders particularly because it restores the chats after you've been disconnected.
Main features
- Logs the chats in the background, with a limit of 10,000 lines for each chat (Blizzard's default is 161 lines for everything).
- Saves the logs when you log out or get disconnected.
- Display the chats with timestamps, or using your Prat settings if you have it installed.
- Copy the chat and paste it in other applications (BBCode supported!), up to 100,000 characters.
- Save the chat and combat log in two different files on your computer (using the default Blizzard logging system).
Other features
- Use filters to avoid logging some of the custom channels you join.
- Enable/disable logging for each chat separately.
- Item links in logs are displayed in their proper color and are clickable.
- Player names in the main window are clickable.
- ...and much more!

Posted May 26, 2009In order to copy/paste the text of the copy window into another program, you must keep the mouse over the copy window while pressing Ctrl+C or it will not work.

Posted May 17, 2009As a suggestion, maybe instead of having a 'Say' and 'Yell' section, have a 'Player Say and Yells' and a 'NPC Say and Yells' section?

Posted May 14, 2009you can get this by yourselfe. You only have to change one value. Go to your Addonfolder normaly
\World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons\Elephant
and open Core.lua with the Editor. Now serche for "maxlogsize" and chance ase you like it i took 10000 :D
Now you can go upto 10000 through the InGame Addon Menu

This issue occurs due to the way the table is being loaded with the channel list. My work around/fix is as follows, in the Core-Interface.lua file comment out lines 162 thru 167 and insert in my four lines. It will look like this:
-- for k,v in pairs(t) do
-- if string.lower(v) == string.lower(self.db.char.logs[self.db.char.currentlogindex].name) then
-- typeInfo = "CHANNEL" .. k
-- break
-- end
-- end
local id, chan = GetChannelName(self.db.char.currentlogindex);
if (id > 0) then
typeInfo = "CHANNEL"..id
end

Posted Apr 9, 2009could you use this to fully replace the standard WoW chat box?
basically i've been looking for an addon all day that does that, i want it to completely get rid of it, until i say so, hit a button the main window comes up, and then it has tabs for say, chat 1, chat 2, chat 3, whispers ect.
and say the tabs flash when something new is in them, much like msn (i realise there is WIM but that doesnt replace the entire communication system)
if anyone knows of an addon like this, please, tell me ^^
but my point is, could elephant be used to do that?
thankyou

Posted Mar 22, 2009Currently you can only copy a small bit of text at a time as far as I can tell. I'd love an "copy entire channel" button. Or even just being able to copy the entire copy window at once (without having to copy everything you can see, then scroll down, then copy everything you can see again, then scroll down, ect).
Other than that one flaw which has been rather time consuming on my end, this would be my favorite mod.
