Broker Factions  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 3.2.6 Release
by: Zhinjio, Torhal

Broker Factions is a simple Ace3 LDB Data Feed plugin that provides an easy way to monitor your reputation with the various factions. It is loosely based on FactionsFu (Elkano) and the older Titan Factions (Phanx).

What it does:

  • Provides a tooltip where all faction reputations are summarized. Details can be customized in the configuration panel (Right-Click on the plugin to bring up the configuration screen automatically). Factions that are under collapsed groups (or subgroups), in Blizzard's reputation tab frame (character screen) will not be shown. Likewise, inactive factions will be hidden. You may at any point expand or collapse a faction "header" (group) by simply right clicking on it (ensure that the "Show Collapsed Headers" option is enabled, in the configuration panel, if for some reason you are unable to view a faction group after collapsing it).
  • Provides a button where the addon's monitored reputation can be shown. You can select the faction you wish to monitor from either the configuration panel or by simply left clicking on it from the tooltip. Factions that are inactive/under collapsed groups will not be monitored. You may also choose to hide the monitored faction entirely, if you only want to view the tooltip, every now and then.
  • Session gains can be shown on both the button and the tooltip.
  • The addon "remembers" collapsed groups that you set per session and will attempt to restore these settings automatically, whenever you enter the world.
  • Provides an option so that your monitored faction switches automatically to reflect the faction you last gained reputation with (you also have the option to ignore negative reputation gains). Also provides options to use Blizzard's monitored faction or even set your own monitored faction as the "watched" faction (the one shown above the normal experience bar if not level capped). You may set a "watched" faction shown as an experience bar, by holding down Ctrl and clicking on a valid faction with reputation, either from the tooltip or by ctrl + clicking the plugin itself.
  • Provides an option to paste reputation info into a currently opened chat box. Just hold down Shift and click either on the plugin or on a valid faction with reputation, shown on the tooltip.
  • Provides an option to scale the tooltip and/or use a scrolling slider, to avoid issues with extremely large and detailed tooltips.

What it doesn't do:
  • It will not automatically set a faction to monitor according to your location/zone. I have decided against implementing this feature, so that the plugin can peacefully coexist and "cooperate" with addons that automatically switch Blizzard's reputation bar (the one above the experience bar if not level capped) according to your location.


Bear in mind that Broker Factions, as all DataBroker plugins does not provide it's own display, you will need a LDB-based display addon, such as Fortress, Carousel, StatBlockCore, Wraith, Titan Panel etc.

3.2.6 Release
- Updated ToC version for WoW 4.2
3.2.5 Release
- First "full function" release with new code
3.2.4 Beta
- Fixed db options bug. (thanks Torhal)
3.2.3 Beta
- Fixed a config bug
3.2.2-beta
- This is the first release after taking this addon over. Fairly large portions of the code have been rewritten. Since Bliz implemented several changes that made some portions of this addon obsolete. I've removed that code.
- Most tooltip functions are now restored and working as before (or better).
- I have not yet implemented showing *any* information on the LDB display bar, though that is up next.
- I usually don't move beta version over, opting instead of wait for a full release, but I think its good to get the new code in circulation, and getting feedback and bug reports. PLEASE let me know what you find and do or don't like.
3.1 [2009.08.04]
- Library update.
- Removed LibQTipClick-1.1 from embeds.
- Modified tooltip click handler to use SetCellScript method, present in LibQTip-1.0.

- Ctrl + left clicking a faction name, on the plugin's tooltip will cause said faction to be "watched" on the default Blizzard reputation bar. Note: Ctrl + Left click will NOT function if the user has selected the "Use Blizzard's faction watch" option, in the plugin's configuration menu.
- Added a new option under the configuration "Tooltip" category, that enables the user to hide the "hint" from the plugin's tooltip.
- Split the code in the OnEnter script to acquire and set tooltip properties and implemented a new function to actually draw the rest of the tooltip, in order to facilitate clickable functionality for faction headers.
- Right clicking a faction header will now cause it to collapse or expand and the tooltip will be automatically redrawn to reflect the changes in the faction index.

I've tried everything (previous versions, deleting all lua files in SavedVariables, trying the new beta updates Torhal is doing etc etc etc) and cannot get session gains to show. Tested on Sporeggar faction because it's quick and I'm not maxed.

Factionizer does indeed update session gains (tested this on Sporeggar faction). So I think session gains can be fixed in Broker Factions, too.

Session Gains

I am not able to see Session Gains.

In both "Display Options" and "Text Options", I have "Show Session Gains" checked. However, I can never see my gains.

Am I doing something wrong or am I missing something?

Thanks.

This is an aesthetic thing.
That's not only aesthetic, that makes reading harder with small fonts.

Titan nil version....
line 272, just create your LDB addon with real addon name (so FULLNAME instead of MODNAME)
(furthermore, it was the previous behavior of the plugin)

show text, icon, color...
about this point, instead of poorly rephrasing I quote a Titan Developer:
The LDB specification is: https://github.com/tekkub/libdatabroker-1-1/wiki/ . I think it is anyway.

The spec does not specify any 'show' / 'hide' commands. Those are translations that Trist did into Titan 'language'. The spec states the developer functions that can be used and the expected fields a developer must / can put into a LDB object. There is little about how the display addon must or should use them.
The show / hide of the LDB plugin text is entirely dependent on the whim / skill of the LDB developer and which LDB fields they populate in the LDB object.
so I ask you to get back this feature


About colors, can you colorize reput number (both on text showed & tooltip) according to reputation level? (purple = exalted, blue = revered, green = honored, white = friendly, grey = neutral, and so on)

  • But hint lines aren't hidden according to the option...
Will be fixed in next release.

  • there is too many square brackets in text simple brackets were less "agressive" to the eye.
This is an aesthetic thing. I like the way it looks ok, but I may provide an option later for a couple different options. Leaving this for now, but I filed a low priority ticket

  • I use TitanPanel as LDB displayer ; there is some basic option related to LDB plugin:
    -show icon
    -show title
    -show text
    when I select "show text" (in Titan), I expect the same result as "show text" in your own config panel. And I think it is/must be the normal behaviour of LDB plugin.
  • it seems Titan can't find its internal version (that was the "nil" title I mentionned some post before)
Can you provide screenshots for what you mean with these two things?

  • auto-track reput gain (with guild reput filtered).
Yeah, not implemented yet. I wanted to get the primary functions complete before I did the small detail work.

I didn't see any LUA errors, just a title named "nil".

(I don't test the lastest 3.2.3 Beta yet)
