How To Create A New Group And Add Items In Tsm

A Guide To Grouper - Generate TSM Groups From Item Spider web Links

We've created a tool for creating importable TradeSkillMaster (TSM) groups from almost any webpage that includes links to World of Warcraft items. The tool has been fully updated to work with TradeSkillMaster two.0's new group import format. It'due south called Grouper.

Grouper is based off of SLAGIT which was created by our longtime livestream viewer Rootfix and has been hosted at Ability Give-and-take: Gold for a proficient while. Grouper tin always be institute by using the "Grouper" link at the tiptop of Ability Give-and-take: Aureate. Read on for our guide on how to use Grouper to speed up your importable TSM group creation.

What Does Grouper Practice?

The simplest answer is that Grouper saves time. Lots of time.

Grouper allows you to copy and paste large sections of websites that include WoW item links (Wowhead, The Undermine Periodical, Wowuction etc.) and instantly generate Auctioning Group and Shopping Lists that tin be imported into TradeSkillMaster.

How Do I Use Grouper?

Y'all highlight the webpage with the links y'all desire to make a list out of and paste them into the large box in Grouper and press the "Group Information technology Now!" push.

Grouper will and so generate text which can be imported into TSM as a group.

Yous may be asking "Do I have to re-create each link one-by-i into Grouper?" The reply is No! The beauty of Grouper is that y'all can copy and paste lots of links into the window and Grouper will handle them all with ease.

What Should I Utilise Grouper For?

Whatever you want. I of the mutual things I employ Grouper for is creating temporary shopping lists from The Undermine Journal'south "Great Deals" page.

Another use I've constitute for Grouper is creating shopping lists for specific item or detail sets that I want to make dealfinding lists for.

I used Grouper in this way to create my "Uber" Blue TSM Dealfinding lists. (See MoP "Uber" Blue TradeSkillMaster Dealfinding Lists.)

You can use Grouper anytime yous need to create TSM groups that include a large numbers of items. This could be for transmog items, crafted items and anything in between.

If you can somehow become a webpage that volition show links to the items, Grouper will create a auctioning groups or shopping list for it.

An Few Examples

I idea I'd get over a few examples for people so you can see Grouper in action.

The 2 examples I am going to utilise are building a shopping listing for a "Great Deals" folio on The Undermine Journal and creating a shopping list for Crafted Dreadful Plate items using links from Wowhead.

While I am giving you a few examples be certain to utilize your imagination. You lot'll be amazed at what you can do with Grouper. The possibilities are nearly countless.

The Undermine Journal Great Deals

The Undermine Journal has a fantastic "Great Deals" page that shows yous items it thinks may be underpriced. This is useful for gold-makers looking to observe items that nosotros could flip for a profit.

Using Grouper we volition quickly generate a TSM group onto which nosotros can add a Shopping Operation to shop for these potentially underpriced items on our server.

The beginning step is to go to The Undermine Journal and select our server and faction. We then mouse over the "Great Deals" menu detail and select "Bang-up Deals" from the sub-bill of fare. (Bookmark the resulting page for easy admission in the future.)

Once on the Great Deals page we utilize our mouse to highlight all the items on the page. Yous can click concord downward your mouse while moving your mouse down the page to hightlight information technology all.

(We've besides noticed that if we start our selection on the right and highlight down and to the left it selectes all the items downwardly the folio without having to scroll all the mode down.)

One time you have all of the folio selected copy the page by pressing Ctrl + C or correct-clicking and selecting "Copy".

Items highlighted on TUJ Great Deals page.

Once you take the items copied paste them into the commencement large box under "Footstep 2" on Grouper. The pasted items will look something like this.

Copied items from TUJ pasted into Grouper.

Equally you lot tin see from the image above yous but paste the entire clipboard of items into Grouper. It doesn't matter that is has formatting and tables etc. Grouper can handle that no problem. All Grouper is really looking for are the HTML item links.

Once you we have the folio copied into Grouper we hit the "Grouping Information technology At present!" push button. When we hit the button nosotros will be presented with the following type of results.

Grouper Results

In the image above you can see that in the "Results:" box we are presented with the text that we will use if we were importing it into TradeSkillMaster as a group.

Particular & Sets From Wowhead

For our second example we're going to create a shopping lists from a set of items that we tin can find on Wowhead.

For this case I'll exist using the Crafted Dreadful Cloth PVP items.

The get-go thing we need to practise is get a Wowhead page with just the items we are looking for.

In this case we will do that by going to Wowhead and mousing over "Database" menu item in the lower left and using our mouse to navigate the cascading drop down menus to Items > Armor > Cloth.

This will get is to a results folio with all textile items.

Wowhead Database>Items>Armor>Cloth

Once on the results page we volition be using a simple "Name" filter to discover only the items that have "Crafted Dreadful" in their name.

To exercise this nosotros type "Crafted Dreadful" into the "Proper noun:" field and press "Apply Filter" below the filter options.

Filtering Wowhead results by proper noun.

In one case you accept the results page we highlight all the links and copy them by pressing Ctrl + C or by correct-clicking and selecting "Copy".

Wowhead results highlighted and copied

Only as in the precious example we paste the items into the large window on Grouper.

Pasting whole WoWhead pages with links into Grouper.

(As you lot can see nosotros are literally pasting what ever was on the Wowhead folio into the Grouper window, formatting and all. No need to "clean information technology upward". Grouper doesn't heed. All it is looking for are the HTML links to items.)

Once the results are pasted into Grouper we press the "GROUP It NOW!" push button and Grouper gives us importable TradeSkillMaster grouping text.

Creating TradeSkillMaster Groups/Subgroups

To import the lists you beginning demand to create a grouping and/or subgroup to import the items in to.

To import a listing to a TSM group/subgroup:

Select the text listed in the Grouper "Results:" box and copy it to your clipboard (Ctrl+C or similar) > become to the TSM settings (/tsm or use the minimap button) > click the "Groups" icon at meridian (blueish crystal) > click the name of the grouping or subgroup yous desire to import the items into in the left column > click the "Import/Export" tab at the top of the right column > click within the "Import String" entry field until your cursor appears blinking within the entry field > paste the text you lot copied to your pasteboard before (Ctrl+V or similar) > click the cherry-red "Okay" button that appears and the right of the entry field.

TSM should give you a indication in your conversation window that the items accept been imported. To verify click the "Items" tab at the peak of the right column. The items y'all imported should be listed in the correct-most sub-cavalcade labeled "Group Items".

Edifice/Using A Shopping Operation

If you lot want to use these groups to store for items you need to build a Shopping Operation and attach information technology to your groups/subgroup.

To build a shopping performance:

Become to the TSM settings (/tsm or use the minimap button) > click the "Module Operations/Options" (blue bolt) at the height of the window > click the "Shopping" tab at the top if the window > click the word "Operations" in the left cavalcade > type a proper name for your functioning into the "Functioning Name:" entry field > click the red "Okay" button that pops upward.

That is it. Now you lot can shop for items on your lists.

Shopping With TSM Groups

To employ the lists and shopping operations nosotros simply created:

Open up the auction house window > click the "Shopping" tab at the bottom of the window > click the "TSM Groups" push button in the center superlative of the shopping window (a new window may pop up to the right) > in the new right-hand window select (or press "Deselct All Groups then select) the groups you desire to search for > in one case simply the groups you desire to search for are highlighted in yellow press the "Kickoff Search" push at the lesser of the right window.

TSM volition then search and show you the results of your search. To purchase items that show up:

Click the item until it is highlighted in yellow > click the "Buyout" push at the bottom of the shopping window > click the "Buyout" button in the popup window that appears.

Creating a Auctioning Functioning

Creating an Auctioning Operation is done in the aforementioned exact mode as creating and adding a shopping operation except that you use the "Auctioning" tab in "Module Operations/Options". Inside that pane you lot arrange the auctioning settings in the "Mail" tab in the right cavalcade.

Once yous have created your Auctioning Operation yous add it to the grouping/subgroup in the same was as we explained for Shopping Operations above.

Once y'all have an Auctioning Functioning added to a group you tin then post items using TradeSkillMaster.

To mail items:

TradeSkillMaster will then search for and toll all the items in the group. Once it's finished scanning press the "Post" button for each item you want posted.

For faster posting go into "Module Operations/Options (blueish bolt) > "Auctions" tab > "Options" (left column) > click the wide "Create Macro and Demark Scrollwheel" push button at the bottom of the correct column.

This will permit y'all to, afterward TSM has finished scanning, mail service all your items quickly by simply moving your mouse off of the auction window, Holding downwards the CTRL button and moving your mouse back and forth to apace queue all your items to mail. A wonderful time-saver.

Conclusion

I promise that you will enjoy Grouper every bit much equally I take. It actually is the fastest way to create importable TradeSkillMaster Groups fromWorld of Warcraft item links on websites.

I use it on almost a daily ground to create TSM Shopping Lists from the Great Deals page on The Undermine Periodical.

Information technology is also my go-to tool for creating shopping lists for groups of items like "Uber" Blue items, transmog items and much more.

We're proud of Grouper and give a large thanks goes out to Rootfix for creating such a useful tool in the original SLAGIT.

Nosotros'd love to hear about how you lot have (or will) used Grouper.

A Side Annotation

someone pointed out that the TradeSkillMaster website has implemented a like tool in its "Grouping Maker". Judging by the forum post about the tool it appears information technology was based on the same construction and code created by rootfix (aka Insomniac on the Consortium Forums) for the original SLAGIT.

While both tools do essentially the aforementioned thing I recollect that the Grouper page has a flake more than educational activity and information to assistance people use the lists they create.
