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
- Added support for !ClassColors.


r17
- Fixed a display issue introduced in r16. It was affecting unguilded characters.


r16
- Added tooltip with hints. Ctrl+Click a block to toggle hints.
- 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.
- Added class localizations for friend list coloring.
- Removed class icons when grouped, so check marks are next to names for better quick views.


r10
- Fixed an error introduced with r9 that was checking everything when grouped.


r9
- Changed the visuals for grouped guildmates & friends to dynamic check marks (from greyed out icon/names).
- Changed the background handling to be Skinner friendly.
- Removed debug messages left in r8.


r8
- Fixed a silly error (missing "end").


r7
- Fixed the tooltip scale issue (r6 received only half of the fix and an internal version the other half...)
- Fixed an annoying issue that was causing ellipsis "..." on some entries.
- Removed use of Blizzard's tooltip (now use mine exclusively).


r6
- Fixed the tooltip scale issue.


r5
- Fixed a nil error occuring when guild data is not ready (but still can't get the data sometimes when first loading).
- Fixed the inverted class order on reloadui.
- Added a toggle to show/hide the guild name (Shift+Click the guild block).
- Added an officer's functionality: Control+RightClick to edit officer's note.
- Added (very) limited in-combat use: shows a snapshot of the previous accessed list.
- 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.
- Added support for "label" (guild name) and "value" (online/total) so that you can manage them separatly in your display (show/hide/etc).
- Added ClearFont support (not tested).
- Changed color of officer note (orange) to distinguish from public note (yellow).
- Changed frame strata to TOOLTIP (from DIALOG).
- Removed the extra space in front of a friend name (GetFriendInfo returns "" for status whereas GetGuildRosterInfo returns nil).


r2
- Fixed icon paths.


r1
- Initial release.

It's on my todo list but it requires a rewrite of how the tooltip works, and I don't have much time to look into it right now, so please be patient.

I believe you just need to ctrl-click the feed to toggle the name display, but I'm probably wrong about the modifier. Just try a few different combinations and you'll find something you like.
Shift+click the text on the plugin.

Feature request

Would it be possible to add an option to toggle the guild name from being included in the plugin text? I wouldn't think that most players would need a visual reminder of which guild he/she is currently in, but would still want the useful guild member online count that is also in the plugin text. That, and some of use have guild names that are quite long... ) Thanks for any thought on the request!

I use Titan, but it doesn't matter, all my broker plugins display them in the same way, they doesn't specify colors (or if they do, they take some default colors). No one is designed specifically for Titan.
That's just what i wanted, all my broker plugins with the same look.

If that's it, it's better to find an addon that does this and this only, instead of risking a monolithic addon, bloated with additions and features only a few people would use. For exemple, I don't provide friend list sync, FriendsWithBenefits does the job for those that need it.

I don't have time to dig into AuldLangSyne code. Can you describe what the note module does ? (That module alone is bigger than my whole plugin, Im afraid I will probably not add whatever the feature is ).

You're the first to report this kind of bug in months. It's probably not due to this plugin.

For friends sync use FriendsWithBenefits.
