HandyNotes
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
Whenever I visit the Auction House in Stormshield I get this (first time in session; not for subsequent):

Happens every time I log in.
if you install http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/slash-magic you can make a new command and paste the following code in the command window and you will be able to hide / show the notes and temp toggle them
I named my command hn so
/hn clear will remove the notes until map reopens
/hn on (if notes are off turns them on until a reload or off command)
/hn off (if notes are on turns them off until a reload or on command)
Slash Magic will auto format the following code. just cut/paste, save, and click enable for the command
msg = string.lower(msg)
if msg == "clear" then
HandyNotes:OnDisable()
elseif msg == "on" then
HandyNotes:Enable()
elseif msg == "off" then
HandyNotes:Disable()
else
print("Handy Notes quick settings")
print("clear = clears notes until map reopened")
print("on = enable notes")
print("off = disable notes")
print("Settings will revert to default on a reload")
end
Very useful, just what i was looking for!
If you have any problems with Slash-Magic let me know
Should we post things we find that aren't on the list here?
Post what kind of things? Other HN plugins?
No, I meant stuff I find in the world not in the addon.
Is there some option to toggle HandyNotes showing on the minimap? On my main char, they show on both World Map and Minimap (which is how I prefer it), but on my alt characters, they only show up on the World Map and not the Minimap. But I can't find an option to change it.
My friend had this same problem, he deleted handynotes, from his addons folder, redownloaded from here and reinstalled it and it started working properly for him. Hopefully that does the trick for you! Remember to always delete addons before updated them, sometimes stuff changes and things like this happen.
hi,
I've recently installed wow again and all my addons but for some reason handy notes do not show up on my map. The weird thing is on dreanor it does show up everything on my map such as rare mobs etc,but in azeroth it doesn't. has anyone had this ? or does anyone know a fix ? so i can have all the handy notes on my azeroth map aswell ( seeing as i am starting a fresh char i need this )

The default Handynotes does NOT come with any pre-made notes. It's a clean slate ready for you to use. If you installed the plugin DraenorTreasures that might be why they are showing up there. But, as it states, it only has notes for Draenor.
However, if you haven't installed the plugin it's possible you picked up the "treasure maps" from the archology vendor which adds Bliz made mapnotes for the treasures.
If you are wakling around and see a big white skull on your minimap and find a rare there then that's just the default blizz notes they added for rares since MoP.
i noticed that the sunken treasure in gorgrond which is still bugged today isn't showing on the map anymore. Is that intended? Also I like that the faction unobtainable loot isnt showing anymore, it was driving me crazy :D
i downloaded this addon and it is not showing up on my addon list, can anyone help me?
after downloading did you install it? If you don't use the Curse Installer then you will have to unzip the file and put it in the "Interface\Addons" folder
Any chance we could get a quick toggle on the world map? sometimes all the notes can cover things a bit too much :P
I second that - get inspiration fron NPC Scan
I went in and made the icons smaller and more transparent. Helped a ton. There is an "Enable" checkbox in the /handynotes config menu as well. Uncheck it and everything turns off.
Just a heads up that my handy notes saved variables lua file seemed to get erased. So all my saved location notes are now gone forever. (I don't backup application folders on my Mac and the HN file is saved in the application folder).
I've tried clean install on this one, new WTF folder and interface with only this addon and the Draenor Treasure plugin, it's not showing anything in my map or minimap although I can see it on my addon list checked from Character Selection Screen and in-game Addon from Main Menu. Help pls.
