QBar - Quest Item Button Bar
Ever been questing and had to find all those usable quest items in your bags all the time, then this addon is for you. No longer will you have to keep your bags open to do daily bombing quests!

This addon will automatically create a dynamic buttonbar for all those usable quest items, it also checks if your equipped gear for usable quest items.


Command Line Parameters

/qb toggle
Toggles QBar being enabled or not.

/qb scale <value>
Sets the scale of the buttons, default is 1.

/qb size <value>
Sets the unit size of the buttons, default is 36.

/qb padding <value>
Configures the padding between the buttons, default is 1.

/qb tips
Determines if item tips are shown when you move your mouse over the buttons.

/qb vertical
Toggles between horizontal and vertical button bar.

/qb mirror
Changes the anchor direction, top/bottom or left/right, depending on the vertical setting.

/qb lock
Toggles the button frame being locked, use this command to move the buttons around.

/qb clearignore
Clears the ignore list, and shows all items again. You can shift click an item to ignore it.

/qb bind
Use this command to set the key binding for the last item used, this is vital for all the dailies.


Lacking Features, Problems & Ideas
- Manage the update of keybinding, no need to unbind and rebind if it stays the same as before.
  Change Log - QBar
QBar Changes | 2009 Mar 08
- Added a mirrored anchor direction option, use the slash command "/qb mirror" to toggle it.
- You can now set the unit size of the item buttons using the command "/qb size <value>", default is 36. This option is not new, I had previously removed it when I added the scaling option.
- The item tooltip is now a little more intelligent and should not block the buttons any longer, no matter what corner of the screen you put QBar.
- Zone items should now properly update after you re-enter an instance from a corpse run.
- Did a little code cleanup.

QBar Changes | 2009 Feb 20
- Usable zone items will now be shown on the bar. An example would be the flying drake's essence in The Oculus instance.
- Some items which starts a quest are now included onto the bar.
- If only one item is shown, the assigned hotkey will automatically become bound.
- Since some quest items are not marked as being so by WoW, I've added a custom table that forces any itemid in it, to be included no matter what. So if you find a quest item that isn't shown, please let me know which one it is, and I will add it to this list for the following releases.

QBar Changes | 2008 Nov 09
- Changed the TOC version to 30000 for the Wrath of the Lich King patch.
- Settings are now saved per character.
- The ignore list is now remembered between sessions.
- Fixed the "/qb toggle" slash command.

QBar Changes | 2008 May 01
- Added an "update throttle" to avoid lag when receiving several events at the same time.
- New slash command to lock and unlock the button frame. The border which used to show before is now only visible when unlocked. Use "/qb lock" to toggle the lock.
- You can now link items into chat as well as trying out the item in the dress up frame by using the normal modifier keys for those actions.
- Added back the "UNIT_INVENTORY_CHANGED" event, otherwise equipable items would not get removed from the button bar when you completed or abandoned the quest.
- Previously, not all quest items got included on the bar, this was due to some items not having the text "Quest Item" in the tooltip. Now it should properly include all items as one would expect.

QBar Changes | 2008 Apr 12
- I've renamed the addon to "QBar" as I like that better than "QButtons".
- Removed the size slash command "/qb size <value>" in favor of a scaling option using the command "/qb scale <value>".
- Added a padding option to set how much space there should be between buttons, use "/qb padding <value>" to set.
- You can now set a hotkey to the last item that was used. Use the slash command "/qb bind" to set the key binding.
- The buttons should now properly update when you leave combat.
- Fixed a bug where the cooldown frames could be shown on the wrong button if some of the objects on the bar changed position.
- Shift clicking an item now ignores it for the reminder of the session. Use the command "/qb clearignore" to show all ignored items again.
- Removed the "UNIT_INVENTORY_CHANGED" event, not needed as all gear change invoke "BAG_UPDATE" anyway.
- Changed frame strata to medium to allow other frames to show above it.

QButtons Changes | 2008 Apr 09
- Should now work on localised versions of WoW, let me know if I am wrong.
- Added cooldown frames to the buttons.
- New slash command to change the size of the buttons, use "/qb size <value>" to do so.
- You can now turn off tips showing on button mouseover with the slash command "/qb tips".
- There is now an option to turn the bar growth to vertical, instead of the normal horizontal, use the command "/qb vertical" to toggle.

QButtons Changes | 2008 Apr 06
- First Release.

<3 I hope you don't discontinue this addon as its still tons better then the default quest buttons added in-game. My only irk(which has nothing to do w/ the addon itself) is that I can't revert the quest tracker to its pre-3.1 form. I don't need two sets of quest items on my screen when i have one that works the way I want it to- I'd prefer to just see my quest progress and keep Qbar as my quest item tracker.

Hi, I'm getting a frustrating response from QB, "Hotkey A is already bound to CLICK QBAR2: LEFT BUTTON." I've deleted everything I could think of and the WTF files but I can't reassign the button to work for all the qb. Please help.

Thanks for reporting that item, I will add it to the list.

With the release of patch 3.1 and the new quest tracking interface, I do wonder if this addon will become obsolete though. It should supposedly show quest items in the quest tracker.

Hi,
No, it works fine... it's just the only mod I have that reports out of date and I was concerned that maybe, sense he wasn't updating it any more, it may stop working at some point like when the next big patch comes out. So I thought since you always keeps your updated if you just incorporated his code I wouldn't have to worry about it. But I understand if you don't want to do this. If his does stop working and he isn't supporting it maybe I will take a crack at updating it. I just bought the WoW Programming book so I could give it a try.

Thanks,
Twidget

Hi,
Any chance you could add Button Facade support directly to Qbar so I would not need to use the out of date patch (QBar_ButtonFacade)?

Thanks

Loving this mod ever since I stumbled across this for my WOTLK dailies

EXCEPT, I miss the Center Anchor point, as I built my ui around that (Center Anchor with horizontal layout/expansion)

I haven't forgotten this, but I've made very few updates on this addon. It is something I want to add, but when I get around doing it, I cannot say.

Septerian
Don't think so, because it uses secure buttons, so if I did it like that, you wouldn't be able to use them in combat.

could you make it so it only shows a single button but when you mouse over it expands to show the rest?

Mentioned this over a month ago; still no yes/no, still looking forward to it...

Would you consider adding an option to automatically toggle QBar off when I join a raid?

How bout an option to specify a certain number of rows or columns?
