How to send chat message with a tradeskill link?

[MigGat]

Hi all,

I'm made an addon that keeps track of your guild members trade skills. The addon has their skill link in a table os you can print them any time.

There's no problem with printing like this:

printMessage = char .. ": ";
print(printMessage .. skillLink1); --skillLink1 contains the primary skill

But when I try to report on guild channel:

printMessage = char .. ": ";
SendChatMessage(printMessage .. skillLink1, "GUILD", nil);

Link is NO printed, only the char name is.

Any idea?

1. Are you getting any errors? (Make sure they're not hidden in Interface Options)

2. What exactly is the value of the skillLink1 variable?

That's weird if it works in normal chat, but then locks off on guild, maybe the "guild" hook is stopping it.

There are no errors, just printing nothing

The value of skillLink1 is: "|cffffd000|Htrade:51313:450:450:600000001AF1889:47Kbb6a8f5Z7ms2nvbJPAAAAwDGABsAAyXzC987v2LdtHm//EED|h[Encantamiento]" , which is the internal setup for a link.

As I said, whenever I print(skillLink1) i get the actual Link on the chat frame, but

SendChatMessage("Anything->" .. skillLink1, "GUILD", nil);

will report

[Guild][Feadur]: Anything:

Notice that those links where previously aquired from de Guild channel

So when entered, it will print whatever is in the "Anything" position?

Your link seems to be missing "|h|r" at the end (closing the hyperlink- and color-tags). I don't know if this is the cause of your problem, but everything else looks okay to me.

That worked for me Cargor!

Ir seems that print() function completes link if they're broken, but chat frames don't.

Thanks everyone
