Custom tooltip text not displaying for Tradeskill window items I don't possess

Hi,

I use the following code to display the "item level" of an item (all items except armor and weapon) next to its name. Ex: "Heavy Kodo Stew (35)".

Lua Code:

local function Add_Item_Level(tooltip)
    local item = tooltip:GetItem()
    
    if item ~= nil then
        local itemLevel = select(4, GetItemInfo(item))
        local itemType = select(6, GetItemInfo(item))
 
        if itemType ~= "Armor" and itemType ~= "Weapon" and itemLevel ~= nil then
            tooltip:AppendText(" |cffffd100("..itemLevel..")")
        end
    end
end
 
GameTooltip:HookScript("OnTooltipSetItem", Add_Item_Level)

When I open a profession window (e.g. Blacksmithing) and bring the cursor over a resulting item, the item level is displayed only for items that I posses. For example, I have Dense Grinding Stone, its item level is displayed:

On the other hand, I don't have Heavy Grinding Stone, its item level is not displayed:

Any ideas why it is not displaying on items I don't have, and how to make it display?

Thanks.

First return from tooltip:GetItem() is the item name, which only works with GetItemInfo if you have the item in question. Use the second return, item link, instead.

Thank you very much! I modified it like the following and it displays the item level for items I don't have too.

Lua Code:

local function Add_Item_Level(tooltip)
    local itemLink = select(2, tooltip:GetItem())
    
    if itemLink ~= nil then
        local itemLevel = select(4, GetItemInfo(itemLink))
        local itemType = select(6, GetItemInfo(itemLink))
 
        if itemType ~= "Armor" and itemType ~= "Weapon" and itemLevel ~= nil then
            tooltip:AppendText(" |cffffd100("..itemLevel..")")
        end
    end
end
 
GameTooltip:HookScript("OnTooltipSetItem", Add_Item_Level)
