TidyMinimap Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 0.8

by: Chrippa [More]

TidyMinimap is a small addon that will tidy your minimap by moving all the custom buttons into it's own frame. I wrote this addon because I wanted similar functionality as FuBar plugins but without FuBar.

There is no in-game configuration, all settings are in the Settings.lua file to keep it simple.

There is a slash command (/tidy) that gives you the name of the minimap button you're currently hovering with your mouse. Use this to add buttons that are not automatically picked up to the Settings.lua.

When upgrading, don't overwrite Settings.lua if you want to keep your old settings.

Workaround for the CT minimap buttons (thanks to woowoowoo):
Edit the CT_Core\CT_Core.lua file and change line 112 from:
minimapFrame = module:getFrame(minimapFrameSkeleton);
to
minimapFrame = module:getFrame(minimapFrameSkeleton, nil, "CTMod2_MinimapButton");

Once you changed that, just add ['CTMod2_MinimapButton'] = true, to your settings.

0.8 (2010-04-04):
- Fixed a bug that broke TidyMinimap when trying to hide borders.

0.7 (2009-12-14):
- Updated for patch 3.3.
- Replaced deprecated :GetFrameType() call with :GetObjectType()

0.6 (2008-11-11):
- Fixed bug introduced in 0.5.
- Added slash commands suggested by Spellshaper:

scan: Force TidyMinimap to look for minimap buttons
name: Prints the name of the frame you're currently hovering

Use with '/tidy command'.
If no command is specified it defaults to the 'name' command.

0.5 (2008-11-10):
- Updated TOC for patch 3.0.
- Improved button scanning once again.

0.4 (2008-07-20):
- Updated with fixes for patch 2.4.3.
- Hiding borders are now optional, defaults to false.

0.3 (2007-07-22):
- Rewrote most of the code to make it easier to read and more
efficient.

- Should pick up more buttons. Though, still haven't figured out
a way to pick up the CT addon buttons. They are technically not
minimap buttons (doesn't have the minimap set as their parent).

- Now supports minimap buttons created by addons loaded on demand.

- Moved the frame to bottom of the minimap and turned off nudge in
the default settings.

0.2 (2007-06-22):
- Split the config from the main file (when upgrading, make backup
from the old file if you're not using default settings).

- Added a slash command. Type /tidy when hovering a minimap button
that is not moved correctly, it will display it's name to be put
into the config file.

0.1 (2007-06-18):
- First release.

Works great in theory. Doesn't actually pick up buttons when you manually add them, it misplaces the bar when you add buttons, and moves the incorrect buttons altogether.

For example:

Code:

		['WoWKB_MiniMapButton'] = true,
		['RecipeRadarMinimapButton'] = true,
		['LfgxButton'] = true,

Added those to the list. The result? LFGX button moved, other 2 stayed in place.
Added 'CECBMiniMapButton', resulting in LFGX and and WoWKB buttons being moved, rest stayed in place.
Removed CECB and kept the rest, WoWKB moved back to a minimap button and LFGX was the only thing remaining. RecipeRadar didn't move at all.

Plus, it moved from being docked at the bottom to being docked at the upperleft of the minimap progressing to the left.

Not sure how well this thing was tested, but it screws things up more than it helps. Sorry. The concept is sound if you can work the bugs out.

EDIT: NM, I see this isn't compatible with FuBar installed from the previous posts. You should really put a note in for that.

Try reloading your UI after you set the plugin to attach to the minimap.

Working as intended. FuBar plugins only acts as minimap buttons if FuBar does not exists, or if you specificly set the plugin to be a minimap button in it's configuration.

I was wondering if you could add a way to reorder the buttons...currently it appears they get put in alphabetical order from right to left. I would like the ability to reorder them however I choose. Thanks again for the great mod!

woowoowoo A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 26 Uploads: 1	I found this little CT2 fix on the MinimapButtonBag page at curse-gaming. You have to edit the CT_Core\CT_Core.lua file and change line 112 from: minimapFrame = module:getFrame(minimapFrameSkeleton); to minimapFrame = module:getFrame(minimapFrameSkeleton, nil, "CTMod2_MinimapButton"); Once you change that, just add ['CTMod2_MinimapButton'] = true, to your settings. CTRA also doesn't seem to be picked up by this mod either, problaby the same issue.

Interesting, different alternative to movable map buttons and the button bag.

If I recall correctly, the CT2 button does not have a name, which is why it couldn't be placed in the MinimapButtonBag, either.

Since I can show them on the minimap instead, this will do wonderfully. Thanks. __________________ I'm not an idiot. I'm just harmlessly psychotic.

Jaim Sandar A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 13 File comments: 358 Uploads: 1	I'm not able to confirm at this time, but I think one of my clients is only showing TrinketMenu and SmartBuff in the Tidy bar, and another shows TrinketMenu, SmartBuff, TrainerSkills, and XCalc. TrainerSkills and XCalc aren't installed on the first client. As I remember, some of the buttons that are staying around the minimap, and not moving to the Tidy bar, are: Atlas, Fishing Buddy, CensusPlus, and Outfitter. I'll test some more buttons when I get a chance. FYI: Prior to trying TidyMiniMap I was using MiniMapButtonBag http://wowui.incgamers.com/ui.php?id=3423 (fan update http://wowui.incgamers.com/ui.php?id=4532) which I really liked, except it always showed errors when the cursor was moved over the minimap. Everything still worked, but the errors are a nuisance. It has an easy way to move buttons back and forth between the button bag and the minimap. Not all buttons can move to the bag, but very few do not. EDIT: In case you had trouble finding the answer to your question in all that, here is the answer again: The buttons that aren't "picked up automatically" (so far) are: Atlas, Fishing Buddy, CensusPlus, and Outfitter.

Thank you.

Hmm, it's supposed to pick up any buttons automaticly, what addons are not working?
