Getting the same “Action available only to blizzard UI” errors that others are reporting, so I am pretty sure this is not a conflict with another add-on. These problems have been reported for months now with no new version released. Is the author waiting for WOTLK to release or fix, or is this add-on no longer supported?

Love this, use it constantly. Made a small mod to my copy which you might like to consider as a future feature. Instead of choosing food by level or by stack size, I like to choose randomly from all valid foods, and then keep several kinds on hand for the variety factor. I just added the following: if (table.getn(SortedFoodList) > 0) then local randfood = math.random(table.getn(SortedFoodList)); return SortedFoodList[randfood].bag, SortedFoodList[randfood].slot, SortedFoodList[randfood].link; end right before: for _, foodInfo in pairs(SortedFoodList) do towards the end of FOM_NewFindFood;

Anyone else in the beta, and notice how the new talents make it so you almost never need to feed your pet any more (unless you just wander around for a long time without combat)? I actually miss the feedings, they helped give the pet a live feeling, and helped me bond to him (subroutine and pixels reality notwithstanding). Sigh.

It'd be great if the next version can allow you to have an option to only feed your pet things that you can't benefit from.

For instance, if you have 15 "tender crocolisk meat" sitting in your inventory, it could have to look for THOSE before feeding a "haunch of meat", which your character can eat for health gain.

Same error as the one David is getting.... "Action available only to Blizzard UI' when I use the recommended macro /click FOM_FeedButton the first time after logging in.

Not a big thing but annoying.

I like using FoM but im getting some bugs as to be affecting my pets food diet. it wont register that there is food in my bags that my pet “likes”. i stuck some other type of foods in my bags and it reads them there.

I'm getting the same error message as the last few posters above.

However the addon isn't fully functioning I think. It will indeed feed my pet but it isn't following any rules it seems. I have a few stacks of different kinds of food and it just keeps using the same kind. I have a couple stacks of only 5 or 6 pieces and a full stack of 20. It keeps pulling food from the stack of 20 instead of using up the smaller stacks first. They are different food types (all usable by my pet) but all the same level of food so it should use up the smaller stacks first.

I too am getting the “Action available only to blizzard UI” the first time I use the /click macro in an action button. Once I click ignore, subsequent attempts do not cause an issue and feed the pet as normal.

I also have the same "action blocked" error as others posted above when using

#showtooltip Feed Pet
/click FOM_FeedButton;

However, I have another macro that called to /click a different action button on my action bar and I don't get the error. Is it because the FOM_FeedButton is a custom button we click on and not an official Blizzard UI button?

Of course, after clicking on the FOM_FeedButton (via macro such as above), the error will come up once and I don't usually see it again afterward.

THis mod allowed my pet to be fed [Serpent Flesh] which is used for the quest Mok’Nathal Treats.

Same problem as Vexi. Anyone have any thoughts, I read something about a /click bug in the new patch, but have no idea what the bug is.

Yup, since the 2.4.3 patch I get the same error too. Only on the first use – I am using the same macro. After I dismiss the error, it seems to work fine, until my next login.

for some reason 2.4.3 is giving me "action available only to blizzard UI" when i try to use my feed pet macro:

#showtooltip Feed Pet
/click FOM_FeedButton;

i click ignore and it still works, but it does this every time i just log in.

Receive the following error each time I access FoM 2.4.1 since the latest (2.43) WoW patch:

Message: Error: AddOn GFW_FeedOMatic attempted to call a forbidden function (CastSpellByName()) from a tainted execution path.

After the initial error message, the addon seems to work normally. I have deleted and reloaded a fresh copy of FoM, but the error persists.
