HandyNotes

Table of Contents

Handy Notes for your maps. This addon is intended to be a small and simple framework for showing notes on your map.

Use /handynotes to access options.

You can add notes to the maps in 3 ways:

Alt-RightClick on the world map to add a note.
Use "/hnnew" without the quotes to add a note at your current location.
Use "/hnnew x,y" without the quotes to add a note at location x,y on your current zone's map.

HandyNotes supports plugins that other authors can write to display their own set of notes on the map. See this link for a list of such addons: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/search?search=handynotes

Go to your WoW install folder, /WTF/*Account name*/Saved variables and copy Handynotes.lua.
Then paste it to /WTF/*other account name*/Saved variables

Since the 4.0.6 patch, notes do not work in Uldum. They will show on the zone map but not on the minimap. In every other zone, it works fine.

It's even stranger than that. Notes created before the patch show on the minimap but not the zone map. New notes do the opposite.

I fixed it by editing the saved variables and deleting everything under Uldum. Then had to redo all the notes. What a pain.

I ended up just renaming ["Uldum"] to ["Uldum_terrain1"] in the saved variables file. Probably to get it to show up in the zone and the minimap you would have to have both sections with duplicate entries?

Hi,
Thnx 4 the addon. But on my setup, the "Handy Note" dialog always displays under the world map, thus requiring me to close the world map whenever I want to make a new note or edit an existing node.

Cheers,
Nap.

I fixed the problem by editing HandyNotes_EditFrame.lua (in the Interface\Addons\HandyNotes folder).

Change:
local HNEditFrame = CreateFrame("Frame", "HNEditFrame", UIParent)
TO:
local HNEditFrame = CreateFrame("Frame", "HNEditFrame", WorldMapFrame)

This line is located at about line 18 of the v1.2.0 version

I've run into an issue between the latest HandyNotes and the latest TomTom - after installing TomTom, if I try to right-click on a note on the zone map for a zone I'm not currently in, the dropdown menu just flashes once, not allowing time for any of the options to be selected. If I back out to the continent map (these notes have the "display on continent map" option checked) and right-click, everything is fine. At first I thought it only had to do with the new or heavily modified zones, but it's any zone I'm not currently in. The same note works fine if I'm in the zone being displayed.

For each addons failing with the
connot Astrolabe lib issue..

open up each of the addons core .lua file and change the

local Astrolabe = DongleStub("Astrolabe-0.4")

To

local Astrolabe = DongleStub("Astrolabe-1.0")

and everything will work...

And when I mean core file I don't mean a file named core.lua (even though it could be that name),
I mean the file that means the addon work.

These are the files for the handynotes plugin addons

\\HandyNotes_CityGuide\addon.lua
\\HandyNotes_Directions\Directions.lua
\\HandyNotes_FlightMasters\HandyNotes_FlightMasters.lua
\\HandyNotes_Guild\GuildNotes.lua
\\HandyNotes_Mailboxes\HandyNotes_Mailboxes.lua
\\HandyNotes_OpenPVP\HandyNotes_OpenPVP.lua
\\HandyNotes_QuestGivers\HandyNotes_QuestGivers.lua
\\HandyNotes_SpecialNPCsEtc\HandyNotes_SpecialNPCsEtc.lua
\\HandyNotes_Trainers\addon.lua
\\HandyNotes_Vendors\addon.lua

Please note this only makes the addons not fail on loading.
Use of the addon may cause other errors if there were any command changes used between Astrolabe-0.4 (wow3 version) and Astrolabe-1.0 (wow4 version).

That's because SilverDragon has an optional HandyNotes plugin component, and like all HandyNotes plugins, also has to be updated to the version of Astrolabe that is Cataclysm-compatible.

Yeah, the individual plugin authors need to update their addons as well. I may look into HandyNotes_Guild though.

That would be great. HandyNotes_Guild was one of our favorite plug-ins for HandyNotes. Glad to have you back!
