Slouken,

I heard a rumor (in that thread) that calling SetHyperlink for an item that hasn't been seen yet can disconnect you (in 1.5.0).
Could you please clarify for us:
(1) can you theoretically get disconnected for calling SetHyperlink on any item, or is it limited to rare/important ones?
(2) can you get disconnected for calling SetHyperlink too frequently?
I ask because SetHyperlink is the only way I know of to display the tooltip for an arbitrary item (e.g. items you don't have in your posession). For example, my MozzStickyItems addon uses it to display the tooltips for disabled sticky items. I like the tooltips and don't want to have to remove them. It sounds like LootLink users will also potentially get disconnected by this feature.

Using SetHyperlink causes the client to request information about the item from the server, unless it's already cached on the client. The basic rule of thumb is, if you don't have the item, and you can't make the item, and nobody currently online has it either, then you can't ask the server about it.
However, this doesn't prevent you from storing off the entire tooltip in SavedVariables.lua for re-displaying later. The first number after the "item:" part of the link is a unique identifier for that item (minus random attributes), and would make a useful key. I wouldn't recommend saving every item you see this way, as you'd run out of memory after a while, but it might be nice to be able to save certain interesting items for later perusal.

If it helps, MozzStickyItems should be mostly unaffected, since anything you can make yourself or is in your item cache won't cause a disconnect.
It's a very cool idea, and I'd love to see something like this in the standard UI.
Oh, and to answer your question, the maximum slot is 120. :)

Edit: Also, your initialization hacks should no longer be necessary in 1.5[ post edited by slouken ]

Ask and ye shall receive. :)
In the 1.6 content patch (not the next battlegrounds patch), items will remain on the action bar even after they have been consumed.
