Norganna's AddOns

Well, problem is i simply cannot make this macro work.

Did you remove the new lines and make it one continuous macro line? Try that if you haven't. Also, make sure you have the AH open and you're viewing the Auctions tab when you run this macro, I think that's necessary too. I assume you were already doing that though.

Yes. I copypasted the first line in the macro text pane. Then i pressed the space bar and i copypasted the second line. Then i pressed the space bar and i copypasted the third and last line.

Ofc i tried to run the macro with the AH window opened and the Auctions tab selected, still nothing happens. :(

Corrige.

That macro still don't work, but probably the macro i need is

----------------------------
This macro will cancel all auctions (a) that have not been sold, (b) that have no bids, and (c) that have less than 12hrs left:

/script
local o="owner" p=GetNumAuctionItems(o) i=p
while (i>0) do
local _,_,c,_,_,_,_,_,_,b,_,_=GetAuctionItemInfo(o,i) t=GetAuctionItemTimeLeft(o,i)
if((c>0)and(b==0)and(t<4))then<br /> CancelAuction(i)
end
i=i-1
end
------------------------------------

In order to try it, what parameter i have to change to make it cancel the auctions that have less than 24 hours left?

Ok, found it (that's t<8, probably for 48 hours its t<16) and... the macro works!!!<br />

Still the first macro won't work :( but i don't recommend it since it probably also cancels the auctions sold and the auctions with bids.

You are actually missing a lot of spaces there that should have been there. Try the following, instead:
/script local o="owner"for i=1,GetNumAuctionItems(o)
do local _,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,b=GetAuctionItemInfo(o,i)
local t=GetAuctionItemTimeLeft(o,i) if (t==2) and (b==0) then CancelAuction(i) end end

Combine those three lines with a space between them (make sure there's a space between "o)" and "do" and between "i)" and "local")

If this doesn't work, let's look at what the addon is supposed to do, to make sure that we're all on the same page:

/script local o="owner"for i=1,GetNumAuctionItems(o)do

This tells the game to cycle through all the auctions you have posted

local _,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,b=GetAuctionItemInfo(o,i)

This stores whether or not the auction has been sold in the variable "b"

local t=GetAuctionItemTimeLeft(o,i)

This stores which "time left" category the auction falls in (a number from 1 to 4) in the variable "t"

if(t==2)and(b==0) then CancelAuction(i)end end

This says: If there's a time left of "2" (30 minutes to 2 hours) for this auction and the auction has not been purchased (b == 0), then cancel the auction.

So this macro will cancel all your auctions that haven't been purchased that have between 30 minutes and 2 hours left and haven't already sold. If trying the code I specified above doesn't cancel anything, make sure you have auctions that meet these conditions and post back.

This is slightly incorrect. You can determine time left on auctions according to the following:

Time left category--How much time left
1--0 to 30 min
2--30 min to 2 hours
3--2 hours to 12 hours
4--More than 12 hours

You can't cancel only those auctions that have fewer than 24 hours left. You can cancel auctions that have fewer than 30 mins left (t == 1), those auctions that have fewer than 2 hours left (t<3), those auctions that have fewer than 12 hours left (t<4) or all auctions, regardless of time (t<5). You can cancel according to other time conditions (t==3 will cancel only those auctions that have between 2 and 12 hours, for example) as well, but the server doesn't tell the client which auctions have fewer than 24 hours left. It tells the client which addons have fewer than 12 hours, and which have more than 12, but you have no way of knowing if an auction that has more than 12 hours actually has 24, 27, 35, or 47 hours left. It's all just "More than 12"

If it may help, this is a macro I use to cancel all glyph auctions I own:

/run local i=1;local n=1;while n ~= nil do local b=0;n,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,b=GetAuctionItemInfo("owner",i);if n~=nil and strfind(n,"^Glyph of") then CancelAuction(i) end i=i+1 end

Ok got this to work finally.

/script local o="owner" p=GetNumAuctionItems(o) i=p while (i>0) do local _,_,c,_,_,_,_,_,_,b,_,_=GetAuctionItemInfo(o,i)if ((c>0)and(b==0)) then CancelAuction(i) end i=i-1 end

Now how can I incorporate the strfind(n,"^Glyph of") as in it like the code above so it only will cancel my glyphs and nothing else?

I can't seem to get it work properly in the code below:

/script ;local n=1;local o="owner" p=GetNumAuctionItems(o) i=p while (i>0) do local _,_,c,_,_,_,_,_,_,b,_,_=GetAuctionItemInfo(o,i)if strfind(n,"^Glyph of") and ((c>0)and(b==0)) then CancelAuction(i) end i=i-1 end
local n=1
