Okay, ChatAlerts looks pretty useless then... why would you write a chat alert addon that can't actually monitor the channels that are hardest to monitor on your own? 
Anyway, this will monitor numbered channels for messages containing "sha" or "galleon" and re-print those messages to the UIErrorsFrame. Should work unless ElvUI is breaking the UIErrorsFrame, though that wouldn't surprise me, since ElvUI seems to break everything and be imcompatible with everything and its author refuses to fix any and all compatibility issues.
Code:
local words = { -- MUST BE LOWERCASE
"sha",
"galleon",
}
ChatFrame_AddMessageEventFilter("CHAT_MSG_CHANNEL", function(_, _, message, _, _, _, _, _, channelID)
if channelID == 0 or type(channelID) ~= "number" then return end -- ignore custom channels
local lowermessage = strlower(message)
for i = 1, #words do
if strfind(lowermessage, words[i]) then
UIErrorsFrame:AddMessage(message, 1, 0.75, 0.75)
end
end
end)
Use http://addon.ziuo.net/ to turn it into an addon if you don't know how. |
Thank you very much for the code i will use it till i can find something or i can get someone to code something more to suit my needs

Maybe Torhal can add this option in to his ChatAlerts if i ask him nicely
