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...

It might be allready possible but it doesn't seem like it.

That would require an LDB provider that does this. ButtonBin is just an LDB Display and thus doesn't control what the data blocks actually show.

harl A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 21 Uploads: 1	I missed a visibility option with ButtonBin, that it would show its bins only on mouseover but also keep them hidden in combat. So I went there and (crudely) added it myself. in ButtonBin.lua, line 778: Code: mouseNoC = "Mouseov.+no combat", line 1072 et seqq.: Code: elseif bdb.visibility == "mouseNoC" then if playerInCombat then self:Hide() else self:Show() if not self._isMouseOver then self:SetAlpha(0.0) end end These are insertions and the ButtonBin revision is r35.

Thrillseeker A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 8 File comments: 22 Uploads: 0	I realy like your addon. It finaly solved the cluttering on my UI But, please, could you make it an option to hide the tooltip for buttonbins? Its's huge! I'm talking about the tooltip that explains which mousebuttons to press for which functions, like alt+leftclick for toggling buttonlock. That tooltip is always in the way if I want to acces my bin, because I have it at the right screenedge. Thanks a lot in advance! Last edited by Thrillseeker : 10-27-2008 at 07:47 PM.

I'm waiting for tonight, or perhaps tomorrow, to release a 3.0 version here. I admit I've been somewhat engaged in playing on the beta and preparing for the patch (selling of items and such).

Hevanus A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 15 File comments: 209 Uploads: 0	Running r81492 In WotLK beta with standalone Ace3. When I right-click the ButtonBin icon, I get the following error: Code: Interface\AddOns\ButtonBin\ButtonBin.lua:1150: attempt to call global 'InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToFrame' (a nil value) [C]: in function `InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToFrame' Interface\AddOns\ButtonBin\ButtonBin.lua:1150: in function `ToggleConfigDialog' Interface\AddOns\ButtonBin\ButtonBin.lua:162: in function <Interface\AddOns\ButtonBin\ButtonBin.lua:152> All instances of InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToFrame need to be changed to InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory in your code I think, but then it will only work in WotLK.

[long bar with background [center bin icons] [left side icon/text] ]

Basically the long bar has a fixed width that matches my screen resolution. I made an icon only bin in the middle without border/bg and another one to the left that grows the opposite direction (flip x toggled on).

It isn't necessarily perfect (they might overlap) but works well enough unless you constantly add and remove stuff...

It's possible that I at some point will add more complex setup but since there is a good and easy enough workaround (takes a few minutes to set up, with occasional adjustments) it's ok.

Primary todo's:

Individual configuration
Custom number of bins

Ah, good idea. Thankye

Torhal A Rage Talon Dragon Guard Forum posts: 329 File comments: 74 Uploads: 6	Feature request I've been messing around with ButtonBin and Fortress...I much prefer ButtonBin and so far the ONLY thing Fortress has which I'd like to see is a per-DO configuration. Example: I installed Attrition to replace Fubar_DurabilityFu. Its default display is "(icon) Attrition: 88%". With Fortress, I can select Attrition and remove the check from the "Show Label" box to make it display as "(icon) 88%". The only current way to do this with ButtonBin is to select the bin it resides in and select "Show Short Text" which does this for every button in that bin. Eww. (Meh. Just read the older comments and saw that this is an upcoming feature.) I was also wondering if there was a way to simulate Fubar's positioning scheme (left/center/right) by perhaps embedding a bin within a bin? Last edited by Torhal : 09-13-2008 at 10:34 PM.

Auraka A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 69 Uploads: 0	Support for multiple bars (currently hard coded at up to five bars) So... how would one go about making this number go up to say 6 or 7. While I'm asking questions, any way to change the bin icon?

08-29-2008, 01:20 PM
neotron A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 73 Uploads: 8	Are you manually setting the max width? When the max width setting is used the bar is always AT LEAST that wide (and should become larger if the max width is too small to fix all labels). I haven't see any real issues with the width calculations though, so... Hmm I wonder. The version here might be outdated.. Ah yes it is indeed. I'll upload a new version. It allows you to specify the width and should also fix the issues you mentioned.

Phanx A Cobalt Mageweaver Forum posts: 204 File comments: 734 Uploads: 17	One small issue I've noticed while using this -- the width of a bin isn't always calculated properly when a plugin's text changes. I'd estimate that about 30% of the time the bar is the right length, 50% of the time it's too short and one or more plugins are hanging off the end, and 20% of the time it's too long with blank space at the end.
