How to Install the Add-on
The installation process is the same as any other add-on. First download the add-on. Then you'll want to open the zip file and copy the TrackWarcraft folder in to the World of Warcraft AddOns directory. For example, my AddOns directory is "C:\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns". The next time you start up Warcraft the AddOn will be loaded.
The add-on is 100% safe because it only uses Warcraft's Lua AddOn scripting language. There are no executables or anything else fishy.
How to look up Characters from Chat
Right click on the name of any character that's talking in chat and choose "Look up on TrackWarcraft". For example, if someone sends you a tell, right-click on their name and left-click on "Look up on TrackWarcraft":
Then you'll see a window with a website address already selected. Press Control+C to copy this website address into your clipboard:
Then open your favorite web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome, and paste the website address into the location bar, usually by pressing Control+V

Dear TrackWarcraft,
A button that lets you Auto-CTRL+C, instead of the message.
A button is more friendly, and looks proffesional.
Maybe a selective in-game window with important stats, as an alternative for out of game (internet) lookups. (i dont know if it is supported)It at least can be supported if the opposite person has this add-on? (like gatherer) this will enhance popularity enormous!
Keep it up, its a good add-on!
Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately WoW Lua add-ons can't directly access the clipboard, so I don't know how to do an Auto-CTRL+C. If I can find a way, then I'd be happy to add it.
WoW Lua add-ons also cannot access the Internet, so I can't display the data in-game. I'll look into showing the stats if the other person is also running the plugin.
Glad you enjoy the add-on and thanks for the suggestions!
Why not loading the information in a database an then have an update tool to load the info in everytime the pc logs on or so. Maybe a manual step. A lot of tools working like that. For example mobmap.
hooksecurefunc("LFRBrowseFrameList_Update", TW_LFMFrame_Update);
TW_button = CreateFrame("Button", "TW_LFMUpdate", LFRParentFrame, "UIPanelButtonTemplate");
TW_button:SetText("Look up on TrackWarcraft.com");
TW_button:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", LFRParentFrame, "TOPRIGHT", -33, 13);
TW_button:SetWidth(265);
TW_button:SetHeight(25);
-----------
function TW_GetLFMNames()
local names = ""
for i=1, NUM_LFR_LIST_BUTTONS, 1 do
local button = _G["LFRBrowseFrameListButton"..i.."Name"]

Thanks for addon :)
Thanks Пётр!!! The code works great and I'll release an update of the AddOn to re-enable the Raid Browser.
you can add a function(player from party/raid -> calendareventlist)? :)
CalendarEventInvite(name) has a 3 second delay
I can`t make it work as it should :(
very!! nice addon~
but, would you support to korea server?
Nice ADDON, Some people who pug as tanks wear poor gear and this is a great help to evaluate others. More realistic than a simple 'Gear Score'.
One change, please can a button be added, that will sort the items in the Gear Row, from left to right in gear value order. This way, if my Bracers are lowest, say level 65, they will be at the front of the list. Easy to see.
