Guild block (sorted by class).

Ara Broker Guild Friends Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

A Data Broker plugin that provides 2 blocks: one for guildmates & one for friends. These blocks show informative and interactive clickable tooltips. It's fast and lightweight.

It has the following functionalities on entries
- click guildmates or friends to whisp them.
- alt+click guildmates or friends to invite them.
- control+click friends to edit note.
- if you're an officier, you can control+click guildmates to edit their public note, and control+right click to edit officer's note.
- right click guildmates to sort the closest column.
- if you're an officer, you can click the MOTD to edit.
- middle click on friends to remove from friend list.
- control+mousewheel to resize tooltip.

And the following functionalities on blocks
- control+click to toggle hints so you don't have to remember all this crap.
- left click on guild block to toggle guild panel
- right click on guild block to toggle the guild notes column.
- shift+click on guild block to toggle guild name.
- left click on friend block to toggle friend panel.
- shift+right click on blocks to toggle total number of guildmates or friends.
- middle click on friend block to show the "add a friend" dialog box.

It shows
- check marks for grouped guildmates and friends.
- class icon (mainly to provide a column to sort) when not grouped.
- class colored names.
- level colored in grey, green, yellow, orange or red depending of your own level.
- zone colored in green, yellow or red depending of faction.
- public notes (and officer notes for guildmates if you have the rights).
- rank for guildmates.

If you have AddonLoader, this addon will load as delayed.
If you have Skinner, this addon will be automatically skinned.

Change Log - Ara Broker Guild Friends

r22
- Removed localization file, now using LOCALIZED_CLASS_NAMES_MALE and LOCALIZED_CLASS_NAMES_FEMALE global tables (added in WoW 3.2). Delete the previous folder before extracting this version or you will end up with a dead file.
- Fixed a rare and weird issue (hopefully).

r21
- Added Control+MouseWheel to resize tooltip (experimental).
- Optimized implementation of the scrollbar: move lines instead of redrawing the entire tooltip.
- Fixed a possible appearance of the scrollbar when it is not wanted.
- Changed the maximum number of entries shown to something adapted to your UI scale and options.

r20
- Added a scrollbar for large guilds and/or friendlist. Use the mousewheel anywhere on the tooltip to scroll easily. (Credit goes to Tekkub for his "FauxScrollFrame" implementation

)

r19
- Fixed an issue with 3.2 (GetDifficultyColor -> GetQuestDifficultyColor).
- Changed the MOTD to always display properly.
- Code tweaking.

r18

r17

- Added friend block shortcuts to add a friend.
- Added a MiddleClick shortcut on friend entries to remove a friend.
- Added a Shift+RightClick shortcut on blocks to toggle the total number of guildmates or friends.

r15
- Enhanced friend list refresh. Before, it was only refreshing on online/offline events. Now, it will also make sure to refresh at least once every 15 sec. That way, friends location is more accurate.

r14
- Fixed the possible leading space to the right of the tooltip when in group.
- Fixed the ruRU translation of Death Knight.
- Changed how to inherit fonts. Font addons will be able to dynamically modify them.

r13
- Made it compatible with DockingStation (display).

r12
- Fixed potential conflicts with other addons: RAID_CLASS_COLORS and CLASS_BUTTONS are now left untouched.
- Added the LDB attribute "type" (set to "data source") for better recognition & display integration.
- Replaced Menu_OnUpdate timer with MouseIsOver.

r11
- Fixed a bug that was raising the tooltip when the MOTD was edited.

- Changed the background handling to be Skinner friendly.

- Fixed the tooltip scale issue (r6 received only half of the fix and an internal version the other half...)

- Removed use of Blizzard's tooltip (now use mine exclusively).

r6
- Fixed the tooltip scale issue.

r5

- Added records to save sorted column/order between session.
- Extended the greyed out names of grouped guildmates to friends.
- Removed the label/value support (no more needed).

r4
- Fixed an error when entering the friend block with a non-english client (sorry, no translations added).
- Fixed AddonLoader support (hopefully): block text should be set at load time.
- Added a toggle to show/hide guild notes: any non left mouse click on the guild block will do (right, middle, 4, 5).
- Added a visual effect to distinguish from grouped and ungrouped guildmates: those in your group are coloured in grey.
- Added Skinner support.

r3
- FIXED A BIG REFRESH ISSUE. It should be smoother and more responsive now.
- Fixed AddonLoader support in toc file.
- Added a functionality so that an officer can control click a guildmate to edit its public note.

Jzar A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 104 File comments: 180 Uploads: 4	Also, I have a few ideas for Ara Guild / Friends. As an officer it's really nice to be able to edit people's public notes so easily with this mod; what about adding Ctrl-MiddleClick or Ctrl-RightClick to edit a person's officer's note? And this one may be slightly borrowed from picoGuild, but I think it's nice to have everyone in the same zone as you have the text for their zone colored Green. Lastly, I personally really like having party / raid members' names greyed out. I think that color is much more of a visual cue than adding extra characters, almost regardless of how unique or distinctive any such character or string may be.

Maybe checks instead of desaturated class icons, and I don't grey names ? Any ideas are welcome.

Would it be feasible to add something in front of the guild member/friends name? So for example the guild list, with members 2, 4 and 5 in a group with you, would read as:

Member1
+Member2
Member3
+Member4
+Member5
+You

It doesn't have to be a single character, it could be a tick icon or even "<group>". Another alternative would be to add it in front of the class icon, again assuming that it is feasible to do.

On another note, would it be possible to add the possible click options at the bottom of the tooltip? I ask as I have a really bad habit of not remembering which clicks perform which option.

AuldLangSyne show it like this http://s.wowinterface.com/preview/pvw8880.png

I don't use marks as I don't want to add an extra column just for that. Instead, I colour grouped guildmates in grey.

With a long guild name it looks kind a fuzzy having it set over 2 lines guild name on top and count below.

This could be solved be setting the with to wider, or having an options to hide the guild name (the last one I prefer)

thanks

This is already possible if your display support label/value. Look into your "per block" settings. But in your case I guess you use SBC, so go bug Funky about the label/value feature, I need it too, and cosmetical things should be handled by the display

As for the width, with SBC, if you mousewheel the block, it should grow/shrink unless you locked it in the settings.

Re: Request: Party/Raid marker

I have to admit I hate making this request, I don't like asking to add feature X of addon Y to your addon. Overall I was very satisfied when I made the switch from it's FuBar equivalents (you have no idea how much I disliked the Addon name in the tooltip, colleague maniac), there are a few minor things I would like to see, that others already mentioned but it would lead to adding configuration options and I appreciate your dedication to keeping it small.

This was until I started Raiding, I never fully realized how much I relied on the GuildFu's feature that shows a marker near each player already in your party or raid. On your addon this place is taken by the class Icons, not particularly something I care for but I'm sure some people suffering from daltonism (colorblindness) will love you for it. Anyway, the process of setting up a raid suddenly became painful, I have a hard time keeping track who I already invited and who I didn't, quickly finding a replacement for an open spot also forced me to ask who was available rather than a glance at the Guild tooltip.

It's a usability matter that won't affect everyone to the same degree (myself a lot obviously) but I don't think it can bother anyone so shouldn't require an options. For now it's back to GuildFu.

Icons are there primarily to provide a column to sort by class.

This gave me the idea to colour icon/names of grouped guildmates in grey, to better show who isn't in

EDIT: r4 is now available, see change log.
