You can ask for quite a bit about a sale and put all that info together (with a separator so you can split it later) and get a fairly useful ID
in my previous post I said I have two routines to remove dupes
I parse a specific savedvariabls file and each sale is put into this format:
Code:
Amazing Deals of Tamriel,Argentum,15,1437713676,150,@Medusanomi,@dOpiate,1:0:1:0
taken as a single string in an array that is fairly unique (yours would be even better since you are rounding the time)
That is the data I need to make my program work.
But if the user deleted their savedvariables and this time it comes back with a slightly different time stamp then I drop that from the string and check for
Code:
Amazing Deals of Tamriel,Argentum,15,150,@Medusanomi,@dOpiate,1:0:1:0
now that's not perfect but what are the chances of seeing that exact string twice? you have guild,item,ppu,total sale amount,seller,buyer,"details"
the "details" are created by this code
Lua Code:
local levelReq = GetItemLinkRequiredLevel(itemLink) local vetReq = GetItemLinkRequiredVeteranRank(itemLink) local itemQuality = GetItemLinkQuality(itemLink) local itemTrait = GetItemLinkTraitInfo(itemLink) return levelReq .. ":" .. vetReq .. ":" .. itemQuality .. ":" .. itemTrait
so you can get a fairly reliable amount of data on a sale to make into some sort of identifier from.
They even added lots of new info into the itemLink with the recent patch.

I just duplicated the same format as MM for the unique identifiers, it is very similar to yours. This should help a bit.
