Redirects every single trade chat message containing "LFM" or "LFG" to the LookingForGroup channel.

Is this still working?

I just installed it and am still seeing things like LF icc blah blah in the trade channel... do I have to turn it on?

Also I think you should add Guild Recruitment to this addon. Any 'recruit' messages in trade should be re-directed to the 'Guild Recruitment' channel. Just a suggestion. :) ...but as of now, I don't see anything being redirected...

Ah it is being doing the re-direct to the channel but I am using Prat3 and so I get this:

2. Trade: bla bla this is real trade
4. Trade: bla bla lfm bla

Channel 4 is the LookingForGroup channel but it shows up with the name Trade also, might be something with Prat3.

awesome idea. :)

but yeah, i agree, if you are in the LFG channel, it should redirect. otherwise, hide/ignore them.

I have a suggestion though, can you check to make sure the user is logged into the LFG channel, or automatically join it for them? I had this installed for an hour and didn't see any "LFM" messages, because I wasn't in LFG. I didn't do any sort of troubleshooting yet to see if it was another mod conflicting, but I can if you need me to. I just assumed (yeah yeah I know) that this was the problem, as I don't join LFG unless I am, well, LFG.

Done.
The addon now auto-joins LFG if you aren't in it when it recieves a re-directed message.

That's an interesting way to handle it. It might be a good idea to have an option to hide the messages completely if the person isn't in LFG since people generally join LFG when wanting to see those kinds of messages, or when wanting others to know that they are looking for a group.

Redirects who's messages? Mine or everyone elses. You need to put a better description up.

Incoming messages only (everyone else's).

I peeked at the code to find out since I don't really have any interest in actually using this. The add-on uses a single MessageEventFilter using CHAT_MSG_CHANNEL. If the message contains lfg, lfm, or lf(number)m, then it is hidden and shown as having come from Looking For Group. Outgoing messages aren't affected.

Any message your client recieves as coming from the Trade channel that contains lfg, lfm or lf(number)m is shown as coming from the LFG channel instead of Trade.
Others still see your own messages in whatever channel you originally sent them too - you'll just see them in the LFG channel yourself.
