FuBar-like layout

Simple "button bin" layout

Various label display options

Three bins arranged to simulate a left/middle/right FuBar display

ButtonBin

ButtonBin is a display addon for LibDataBroker objects. The initial design goal was to make a very compact display for LDB launchers, ignoring the labels. It has since evolved to become more of a full featured display addon, allowing both the compact button-only view as well as displaying labels with icons. Combined with FuBar2Broker, ButtonBin can fully replace FuBar as a displayer. With the new default configuration a left, right and center top bar layout is used, allowing for an easier transition.

Changes in r67:

Bumped .toc to 30100

Changes in r66:

Fixed a config UI issue. Moved 'Reset Bin Layout' to the main 'Bins' pane.
Fixed a small issue with profile copying.

Changes in r64:

Added option to disable tooltips on a per-bin and per-data block level.
Fixed problems with copying profiles. As a side effect, there is now a separate button to load the initial default bin layout that you can use after resetting a profile.

Changes in r62:

Fix formatting of label + value display.

Changes in r60:

Fixed a couple of bugs introduced in r59.

Changes in r59:

Fixed default layout to use a sane 3 bin setup emulating left/right/center FuBar geometry.
Added ability to move Blizzard frames out of the way to make room for the bins.
Added ability to assign a bin to a data block in the data block configuration.

Changes in r58:

Fixed issue with centered bins if the bin icon was shown (oops).
Added option to set use a custom icon texture and name for the bin icon display.

Feature List:

Customizable size (scale, button size and number of buttons per row)
If an object doesn't have a native tooltip, BB makes one using the text.
Ability to collapse all buttons into one (state now saved)
Enable/disable individual data objects for display.
Ability to toggle horizontal and vertical growth direction (toggle x/y axis)
Configurable horizontal and vertical button padding.
Drop and Drag support to order the buttons.
Support for multiple bars (currently hard coded at up to five bars)
Background and border texture/color configuration
Auto-hide options: Hide in combat, hide out of combat, and show on mouse over only.
Ability to show labels (always or on mouse over only)
Can set the (max) width of the bins in pixels.
Per-block label and icon visibility configuration.
Global / bin level font size and style configuration.

Planned features:

Ability to disable tooltips on a per-bin and/or per-block basis.
Button skinning support.
More complete configuration to control the display.
Whatever else comes up...

With the latest version you can configure the bin for a block via the data block configuration. However this doesn't allow you to reorganize the order, only move bins. Might be a nice feature anyway.

Toran A Wyrmkin Dreamwalker Forum posts: 59 File comments: 217 Uploads: 0	Ok I must be doing something wrong. I cannot seem to get any of the Statblock plugins or zbroker plugins to show up in a bin. In the "datablock configuration", it shows them there and I can enable/disable. But they don't show up anywhere. Also noticed that FuBar_PerformanceFu doesn't show up - I'm using the dummy Fubar and Fubar2Broker addons. Edit: Removed the dummy Fubar and Fubar_PerformanceFu showed up. Still can't get other Broker plugins to appear though. I am able to see "Broker_Bags" and "PvPFlagBroker". Edit2: Seems to be an addon conflict. The author of Broker Memory addon confirmed he was able to get his addon to work fine. If anyone has had past issues like this please post which addons were causing the problem. Edit3: Was able to get those addons to work with Fortress and Dockingstation. So, guess it's an issue specific to ButtonBin. Last edited by Toran : 01-13-2009 at 08:37 PM.

Reason I ask is that the number of the error doesn't match exactly with the latest version. If not, try to get the r46 download and see if it fixes the problem.

neotron A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 73 Uploads: 8	You just drag the icon of the object to the new bin. To be properly noticed you need to release it on top of an existing icon (be it the bin icon itself, or another data block). If you drag it over an existing datablock, it will be added either before or after it depending where on the object you drop it - left side => before, right side => after. I am also planning on adding bin assignment to the newly added per-data block configuration pane. As for minimap buttons - ButtonBin isn't an addon to move normal minimap buttons. It only supports display of LDB objects (in some cases, addons providing LDB objects might provide a minimap button if there is no available LDB display addon however).

Dragging plugins

I found this after reading the whole thread in the wowace forums:

Quote:

If you make the buttons moveable (one of the two "lock" options in the BB config) you can then simply drag the buttons to the bin of your choice. If they don't move (i.e. they jump back to their original position when you release), just try again. Drag it onto the BB icon and release.

It doesn't seem to work very well though. I tried drag-and-drop for like 10 minutes before coming I came to the conclusion that drag-and-drop wasn't how they were supposed to be moved. Maybe I'm a spaz, or I was trying to drag it into the "block" rather than on to the bin icon. In either case, I've decided after further fiddling that I would rather use Fortress as the Fubar replacement since I find the setup far more intuitive. I'll still use ButtonBin for a mouseover display for those less frequently used buttons.

Maybe I'm being incredibly dense, but I just don't see how you assign a plugin to a bin. I made a second bin and can't get any plugins to show there. Any time I enable one, it will only show in Bin1 (which I have set up like a fubar replacement), I want to move it to Bin2 (which will be a mouseover), but I don't see how this is done. There doesn't appear to be any GUI option under Data Block Configuration or Bins, drag-and-drop does nothing, left-click or right-click with various key modifiers also does nothing.

I am running into this as well. I am hoping that it's not BOTH of us being dense. *grin*

Jeania An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 39 File comments: 181 Uploads: 0	looking at downloading this...but got a few concerns: 1) Do you have to put in fps and all that into your bin? Frankly all I'd want is 'some' of my minimap addon buttons in it. Is that possible? And what happens to the buttons you don't have in the bin...like the standard buttons that you have in your screenshot. Basically I don't want to move any buttons that are blizzard ui...just those dang addons lol. 2) Dagassist is having problems being able to be used with any of these. I've been using mbf...and I can't remove dag from the frame, and it went into it automatically. How does this do in that regard? It's a very important addon for me. Thanks!
