Delete Item Macro

Guides UI and Macro

This macro seems to have stopped working with 9.1.5
#showtooltip Delete
/run DeleteCursorItem();
/run print(“Item Deleted”)

Any idea why?

It can no longer be called directly from a macro or the chat window.

Here’s something that will at least let you skip typing in the word “delete”

/run StaticPopup1Button1:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(self) self:Enable() end)

Wow why would they stop something like this. Deleting things is annoying.

It used to be possible to grief people by giving them a macro that would delete everything in their inventory, and then trick them into installing it as a weakaura or something.

Ahh go figure.

StaticPopupDialogs.DELETE_GOOD_ITEM=StaticPopupDialogs.DELETE_ITEM
StaticPopupDialogs.DELETE_GOOD_ITEM.enterClicksFirstButton = 1

Will replace the “type delete” dialogue with the standard “just click or press enter” dialogue.

I just threw together a new addon that tries to solve this a different way.

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/acceptpopups/files

The addon is simply “shift-click” on the ‘yes’ or ‘accept’ button to auto-accept dialog popups for 24 hours. So you still have to type in “delete” once… but if you are deleting several items then its a breeze.

This applies to each kind of popup separately, so it you get something random like a guild invitation then you will still see it, with yes/no buttons.

You can still use an addon to get around the new restrictions. If you make an addon that runs the following code you will be able to use /click DeleteCursorItemButton from a macro to delete your cursor item.

local b = CreateFrame("Button", "DeleteCursorItemButton")
b:SetScript("OnClick", function()
    DeleteCursorItem()
end)

This work-around does not work in TBC classic :frowning: . Was really hoping this would be a good solution.
