/promoteme not working in multi-realm group

I have a 5 man multibox team which each toon on a different realm.

If I type "/promoteme" in chat of one of the toons (that is not the leader), nothing happends.

I turned on debug for the group module. Here is what displayed:

Hydra: Sending promotion request to toon-realm
Hydra: SendAddonMessage Group PROMOTE WHISPER leadertoon-leaderrealm

Prior to testing this, I removed all my addons and savedvariables and just installed Hydra.

I wanted to add: I only received a message on the toon's window where I typed "/promoteme". None of the other windows displayed anything. I had debug turned on in all 5 windows.

I know enough LUA to be dangerous. With that said, I was able to get /promoteme to work in a multi-realm group by changing Party.lua, line 183 by removing ", name". I also had to change line 85 to just be "return". I realize this doesn't fix the problem, but I hope the info helps.

me:

Hydra: Sending promotion request to toon-realm
Hydra: SendAddonMessage Group PROMOTE WHISPER leadertoon-leaderrealm

Are "toon-realm" and "leadertoon-leaderrealm" the same name/realm pair here?

sconley:

Yes.
