Moniker

Version: 1.5.1

by: Chrippa [More]

Moniker is a very simple AddOn that lets you rename your RealID friends! Simply set a note of your friend and it will be displayed instead of the nickname whenever possible.
Sadly this addon does not replace all real names with nicknames due to limitations set by Blizzard, but the friends list, chat messages and toasts should work.

Note about 4.0.1 update!
Blizzard made some changes that prevents addons from accessing the real name of your friends, therefore the addon had to be signifigantly altered.

- Nicknames can now only be stored in notes instead of Saved Variables.
- Many frames that showed the nickname before is now only able to display the real name.

For addon authors!
If you want to integrate nicknames into your addon you can use the following functions instead of their Blizzard equivalent:

Moniker_BNGetFriendInfo
Moniker_BNGetFriendInfoByID

Here is a simple example:

Code:

local BNGetFriendInfo = Moniker_BNGetFriendInfo or BNGetFriendInfo
local pid, firstname, surename = BNGetFriendInfo(i)

But be aware that this will return clear text nickname and not a special Blizzard string.

Use string.gsub instead of string.replace.

For example: Linking items are hidden in Real ID whispers, Nickname isn't shown when people are logging in.

Update now available. Took some extra time since I was unable to properly test it alone on beta.

Bornabe A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 133 File comments: 264 Uploads: 6	It shows the renamed Real ID in the Social Window just fine, but doesn't rename in Prat's chat window (Unsure if it affects other chats) and doesn't rename in Ara's Guild / Friends Broker display. Are there code adjustments to get things other than the Social Window to show the renamed Real ID? Prat's Chat Entry box reflects the renamed ID, but not what displays in the chat box itself.

For example, now, when I want to whisper or mail someone with a nickname that doesn't match his actual real name, I still have to type his real name for the autocomplete to work.

mornaistar A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 15 File comments: 49 Uploads: 2	the problem with the addon storing but not displaying the correct name is happening with me too and i believe is being caused by some other addon. (it's not happening while all the others addons are disabled) I will try to find out what addon its causing it and report back =)

What about using the "Set Note" feature to store the names instead of saving using the SV? Or maybe add an option for it.. Would come in handy for people that might reinstall or wipe the WTF folder of some sort.

Should atleast be optional, as i use notes for other things.

This seems like a great idea, but it doesn't work for me. When I set a new name, nothing changes, even though it does store the new name, because I see it when I click 'rename' again.

EDIT: This only happens to my friend who has a '-' in her name.

EDIT 2: The original name only appears on the friend list and toast frame, not in the chat window.

same for me
