    So the problem, I don't want to be an auto guild inviter that just spams everyone all the time. I find it distasteful and annoying, so my solution is to use TBA to announce and alter a party whisper invite mod to do the invite as soon as they decide to ask for an invite.

    I chose TBA as a good choice because it catalogues all the people whispered and will not whisper for another 2 weeks(if they're still un-guilded).

    The addon I've chosen to modify is WhisperInviter because its very simple and i figured I could single out the command pretty easily to change in order to get it to do a guild invite instead of party/raid invite. I've was successful in one aspect of the modification, removing the group size/leadership requirements, but the ultimate goal was still not met.

    my current script looks like:

     local addonName, WhisperGuildInvite = ...;

 WhisperGuildInvite.name = addonName;
 WhisperGuildInvite.version = GetAddOnMetadata(addonName, "Version");

 function WhisperInvite:GuildInvite(name)
    if not self.settings.enabled then
        return false, "disabled";
    end
    -- 0 when no one else is in the same party
    local partyMemberCount = GetRealNumPartyMembers();
    -- 0 when not in a raid
    local raidMemberCount = GetRealNumRaidMembers();
    if raidMemberCount == 0 then
        -- Not in raid
        if partyMemberCount == 0 then
            -- Solo
            GuildInviteUnit(name);
            return true;

        end
    end;
 end;

 --[[ Event Management ]]
 function WhisperGuildInvite:RegisterEvents(eventList)
    for event, handler in pairs(eventList) do
        self.eventFrame:RegisterEvent(event);
    end
 end;

 function WhisperGuildInvite:UnregisterEvents(eventList)
    for event, handler in pairs(eventList) do
        self.eventFrame:UnregisterEvent(event);
    end
 end;

 --[[ Frame Event Handling ]]
 WhisperGuildInvite.events = {
    ["VARIABLES_LOADED"] =
        function (self)
            if not WhisperGuildInvite_Persistent then
                WhisperGuildInvite_Persistent =
                {
                    enabled = true;
                    autoconvert = true;
                    keyword = "invite";
                };
            end;
            self.settings = WhisperInvite_Persistent;
        end;
    ["PLAYER_LOGIN"] =
        function (self)
        end;
    ["PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED"] =
        function (self)
        end;
    ["PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED"] =
        function (self)
        end;
    ["CHAT_MSG_WHISPER"] =
        function (self, message, sender)
            if string.lower(message) == self.settings.keyword then
                local success, reason = self:GuildInvite(sender);
                if not success then
                    SendChatMessage("Invite Error: "..reason, "WHISPER", nil, sender);
                end;
            end
        end;
    ["CHAT_MSG_SYSTEM"] =
        function (self, message, sender)
            local sender = string.match(message, self.errAlreadyInGroup);
            if sender then
                SendChatMessage("Invite Error: ".."already in group", "WHISPER", nil, sender);
            end
        end;
 }

 WhisperGuildInvite.OnEvent = function (frame, event, ...)
    local self = WhisperGuildInvite; -- Static Method
    if self.events[event] then
        self.events[event](self, ...);
    else
        self:Message("WhisperInvite Error: Unknown Event");
    end;
 end;

 --[[ Slash Commands]]
 WhisperGuildInvite.slashCommands = {
    ["enable"] =
        function (self)
            self.settings.enabled = true;
            self:Message("WhisperInvite enabled");
        end;
    ["disable"] =
        function (self)
            self.settings.enabled = false;
            self:Message("WhisperInvite disabled");
        end;
    ["keyword"] =
        function (self, keyword)
            self.settings.keyword = string.lower(keyword);
            self:Message("WhisperGuildInvite keyword set to "..self.settings.keyword);
        end;
 };

 WhisperGuildInvite.OnSlashCommand = function (msg)
    local self = WhisperGuildInvite; -- Static Method
    local cmd, arg = string.match(msg, "^(%a*)%s*(.*)$");
    if cmd then
        cmd = string.lower(cmd);
        if self.slashCommands[cmd] then
            self.slashCommands[cmd](self, arg);
        else
            self:Message("WhisperGuildInvite:")
            self:Message("/whisperguildinvite enable|disable");
            self:Message("/whisperguildinvite keyword <keyword>");
        end;
    end;
 end;

 -- [[ Misc ]]
 function WhisperInvite:Message(msg)
    DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(msg);
 end;

 -- [[ Load Event Handling ]]
 function WhisperInvite:Load()
    -- Slash command
    SlashCmdList["WHISPERGUILDINVITE"] = self.OnSlashCommand;
    SLASH_WHISPERGUILDINVITE1 = "/whisperguildinvite";
    -- Events
    self.eventFrame = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent);
    self.eventFrame:SetScript("OnEvent", self.OnEvent);
    self:RegisterEvents(self.events);
 end;


 WhisperGuildInvite.errAlreadyInGroup = string.gsub(ERR_ALREADY_IN_GROUP_S, "%%s", "(%%a*)");

 WhisperGuildInvite:Load();

    Basically I got rid of the LUA errors at the expense of nothing happening at all. Not sure where to look for fixes.

    I apologize in advance, this is the first bit of coding that I've ever attempted so its definatly a crude way to modify i'm sure.

    Thanks again,

    Chris
