"Auction Item Has Sold" Notification

[Mulsiphix]

When in battle I often miss the "Your auction item has been sold" message. It would be awesome if this message could be displayed on screen, like the "No fish are hooked." or "You do not have enough mana" messages, so I don't risk missing it. Alternatively it would be awesome if I could bind a sound to the event so I would know this way. Either way, as long as it is brought to my attention I would be extremely content. Anybody think they have the time to throw this one together?

You could try it like this..

Step 1. Make a directory in your AddOns folder called 'AuctionAlert'

Step 2. Create a textfile in AuctionAlert called 'AuctionAlert.toc' with something along the lines of:

## Interface: 10900
## Title: Auction Alert
## Notes: Displays auction sold in error frame and plays a sound
## Author: Mulsiphix
## OptionalDeps:
## SavedVariables:
AuctionAlert.xml

Step 3. Create a textfile in AuctionAlert called 'AuctionAlert.xml' with:

<Ui xmlns="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/">
   <Frame name="AuctionAlert" hidden="true"> 
      <Scripts> 
         <OnLoad> 
		this:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_SYSTEM")
         </OnLoad> 
         <OnEvent> 
		if string.find(arg1, "Your auction of .+ sold%.") then
			-- show the message on the error frame
			UIErrorsFrame:AddMessage(arg1, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, UIERRORS_HOLD_TIME)
			-- play a sound
			PlaySound("MapPing")
		end
         </OnEvent> 
      </Scripts> 
   </Frame>
</Ui>

ZOMG, this replaces my Titan[Auctions] ! /bow

This is great, but if I want it to catch "you have been outbid" messages too, how would I add that in there?

I've never done anything in LUA but I'd presume the following could work:

<Ui xmlns="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/">
   <Frame name="AuctionAlert" hidden="true"> 
      <Scripts> 
         <OnLoad> 
		this:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_SYSTEM")
         </OnLoad> 
         <OnEvent> 
		if string.find(arg1, "Your auction of .+ sold%.") then
			-- show the message on the error frame
			UIErrorsFrame:AddMessage(arg1, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, UIERRORS_HOLD_TIME)
			-- play a sound
			PlaySound("MapPing")
		end
		if string.find(arg1, "You have been outbid on .+ sold%.") then
			-- show the message on the error frame
			UIErrorsFrame:AddMessage(arg1, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, UIERRORS_HOLD_TIME)
			-- play a sound
			PlaySound("MapPing")
		end
         </OnEvent> 
      </Scripts> 
   </Frame>
</Ui>

Again; No idea if this works and I'm at work so cant test.

Is there a way to repost the chat messages to a different chat window, so I could have a tab that says "auctions" and it would only post auction messages in my chat interface?
