BankItems v30200
16th August 2009 (r147 on wowace)
For use with Live Servers v3.2.0.10192.

An addon that remembers the contents of your bank, bags, mail, equipped, currency, keyring and items on AH and display them anywhere in the world. Also able to remember/display the banks of any character on the same account on any server, as well as searching and exporting lists of bag/bank items out.

Type /bi or /bankitems to see what is currently in your bank. You must visit your bank once to initialize.

BankItems will also remember the contents of Guild Banks if you are able to view them. Use /bigb to see them. Note that Guild Banks are a shared repository and changes can occur to it by other members of your guild.

BankItems will now only show/search characters and guilds from the same faction and realm. You will need to login at least once per character/guild for BankItems to save faction information otherwise these characters will no longer show up unless the "Show/Search All Realms" checkbox is checked.


FuBar plugin for BankItems

http://www.wowace.com/projects/bank-items-fu/

These plugins allow clicking on the panel/plugin icon to open BankItems, giving a summarized view of inventory slots and money of each character on the same realm, and deleting data with the menu quickly.

Titan Panel plugin for BankItems

Note: I no longer support the Titan Panel plugin and its current author is not me.

LDB plugin for BankItems

BankItems provides a LDB launcher if LibDataBroker-1.1 is detected to be loaded.


Commands:
/bi : open BankItems
/bi all : open BankItems and all bags
/bi allbank: open BankItems and all bank bags only
/bi clear : clear currently selected player's info
/bi clearall : clear all players' info
/bi showbuttun : show the minimap button
/bi hidebutton : hide the minimap button
/bi search itemname : search for items
/bis itemname : search for items
/bigb : open BankItems guild bank
/bigb clear : clear currently selected guild's info

Most options are found in the GUI options panel.


Not a bug:

If you close your bank after retrieving/storing an item in it too quickly and the server hasn't updated your inventory, BankItems is unable to record the change to your bank when the item actually moves later. The WoW API does not give you any data about your bank once BANK_FRAME_CLOSED event has fired.

Tooltip information regarding items on the Auction House, Mailbox and Guild Bank(s) may be out of date and thus be inaccurate. They will only be updated on your next visit to the respective places.

BookOfCrafts is known to cause errors in BankItems by using improper hooks.
