cargoShip (Display)

Version: 2.1.5

by: Cargor [More]

Yet another rewrite! For compatibility with old layouts of version 2.0.5 and older, you have to add local cargoShip = LibStub("LibCargoShip-2.1") to the top of your file!.

cargoShip is a LibDataBroker display-addon and library which can only be configured through changing the Lua-code. It was designed to provide a lightweight and flexible framework for creating info blocks based on data objects.

It provides support for the following attributes (you can add more if you like):

icon, iconR, iconB, iconG, iconCoords
text, label, value, suffix
OnEnter, OnLeave, OnClick
tooltip, OnTooltipShow

You can add more of them (or change existing) by providing your custom functions in cargoShip.UpdateFunctions["attributeName"] = function(self, attribute, dataobj) end.

The addon comes with a sample layout which gives you a good start on creating and positioning your elements (in the layout.lua - with comments). Please note that I most likely use different LDB-data sources than you do

A short function reference (the complete one is on my GitHub repo):

block = cargoShip("name" [, options]) - returns a new info block of the specified LDB-data source
block = cargoShip(options) - returns a new info block of the specified LDB-data source in options.name
blocks = cargoShip:Get(dataObject) - returns a table of all created blocks for this data source
block = cargoShip:GetFirst(dataObject) - returns a table of all created blocks for this data source
cargoShip:GetUnused(verbose) - returns a table of all unused data sources, and optionally prints it to chat
block:SetDataObject(dataObject) - set a new data source for the block

Please drop a comment for your feedback, bug reports and/or suggestions.

2.1.5
* new option: textColor
* new options: shadowX, shadowY
- forgot to mention: option noText
- fixed tagString

2.1
* major rewrite
* your old layout.lua should be still compatible, but you have to add "local cargoShip = LibStub("LibCargoShip-2.1")" at the top.
* new function: block:SetDataObject(dataObject) - change the data object after the creation!
* new function: cargoShip:GetFirst(dataObject) - returns the first block for this data object
* changed function: cargoShip:GetUnused(verbose) - if set to true, it prints out the unused dataobjects

- removed: options.Formatting (use tagStrings for this purpose!)
- removed: global 'cargoShip' variable
- removed: cargoShip:PrintUnused() - see cargoShip:GetUnused(true)
- you can now make your own block prototypes, see the library embedding functions

2.0.5
- fixed the .toc and included the right lib-version, whew

2.0.3
* simple tag-system included:
* format your layouts by defining options.tagString, e.g. "[Name]: [value][suffix]"

- fixed: not updating if only dataObj.iconB changes
- new: creation by name is now optional, you can specify the name in the options
- new: creation asserts if no name was found

2.0
- updated .toc to 30000
- fixed error with TipHooker-1.0

Monolit A Black Drake Forum posts: 81 File comments: 428 Uploads: 7	Excellent addon, thanks for your work! 15 Kib vs 350-ish (ButtonBin) I managed to fix my layout in about 10 minutes, though there is 1 feature I miss: With ButtonBin I used to hide most of the config launchers on the bar which was only visible on mouseover, so is there a way to make my data blocks visible only when I mouseover certain region? EDIT: also if I understood it correctly /print cargoShip:PrintUnused() should print the names of all unused LDB blocks in my chat frame, but it doesn't (returns nil). Am I missing something?

I would come up with a code snippet for you, but I'm very busy at the moment /script cargoShip:PrintUnused() does it, you don't need /print before it, because the function already prints it to the default chatframe. __________________ « Website \| GitHub » Oh hai!

Hello, thanks for your reply. I actually managed to make that show-on-mouseover panel:

Code:

--------> TOP PANEL
local f1 = CreateFrame("frame")
f1:SetPoint("TOP", UIParent, "TOP", 0, 0)
f1:SetWidth(350) f1:SetHeight(12)
f1:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "interface\\Tooltips\\UI-Tooltip-Background"})
f1:EnableMouse(true) 
f1:Show()
f1:SetAlpha(0)

local bauderrors = cargoShip("aBroker_BaudErrorFrame")
bauderrors:SetWidth(70)
bauderrors:SetPoint("TOP", UIParent, "TOP", 50, -1)
bauderrors:SetScript("OnEnter",function() ShowTop() end)
bauderrors:SetScript("OnLeave",function() HideTop() end)

local dominos = cargoShip("Dominos")
dominos:SetWidth(10)
dominos:SetPoint("LEFT", bauderrors, "RIGHT",10,0)
dominos:SetScript("OnEnter",function() ShowTop() end)
dominos:SetScript("OnLeave",function() HideTop() end)

local classtimer = cargoShip("ClassTimer")
classtimer:SetWidth(10)
classtimer:SetPoint("LEFT", dominos, "RIGHT", 10, 0)
classtimer:SetScript("OnEnter",function() ShowTop() end)
classtimer:SetScript("OnLeave",function() HideTop() end)

local dbm = cargoShip("Deadly Boss Mods")
dbm:SetWidth(40)
dbm:SetPoint("LEFT", classtimer, "RIGHT", 10, 0)
dbm:SetScript("OnEnter",function() ShowTop() end)
dbm:SetScript("OnLeave",function() HideTop() end)

local panda = cargoShip("Panda")
panda:SetWidth(55)
panda:SetPoint("LEFT", dbm, "RIGHT", 10, 0)
panda:SetScript("OnEnter",function() ShowTop() end)
panda:SetScript("OnLeave",function() HideTop() end)

local volume = cargoShip("Volumizer")
volume:SetWidth(15)
volume:SetPoint("LEFT", bigwigs, "RIGHT", 10, 0)
volume:SetScript("OnEnter",function() ShowTop() end)
volume:SetScript("OnLeave",function() HideTop() end)

local ora = cargoShip("oRA2")
ora:SetWidth(50)
ora:SetPoint("RIGHT", bauderrors, "LEFT", -5, 0)
ora:SetScript("OnEnter",function() ShowTop() end)
ora:SetScript("OnLeave",function() HideTop() end)

local nametoggle = cargoShip("Broker_NameToggle")
nametoggle:SetWidth(80)
nametoggle:SetPoint("RIGHT", ora, "LEFT", -5, 0)
nametoggle:SetScript("OnEnter",function() ShowTop() end)
nametoggle:SetScript("OnLeave",function() HideTop() end)

local hatter = cargoShip("aBroker_Hatter")
hatter:SetWidth(55)
hatter:SetPoint("RIGHT", nametoggle, "LEFT")
hatter:SetScript("OnEnter",function() ShowTop() end)
hatter:SetScript("OnLeave",function() HideTop() end)

local buffet = cargoShip("Buffet")
buffet:SetWidth(20)
buffet:SetPoint("RIGHT", hatter, "LEFT")
buffet:SetScript("OnEnter",function() ShowTop() end)
buffet:SetScript("OnLeave",function() HideTop() end)

function ShowTop()
local a1 = 1
bauderrors:SetAlpha(a1)
dominos:SetAlpha(a1)
classtimer:SetAlpha(a1)
panda:SetAlpha(a1)
volume:SetAlpha(a1)
ora:SetAlpha(a1)
nametoggle:SetAlpha(a1)
hatter:SetAlpha(a1)
buffet:SetAlpha(a1)
dbm:SetAlpha(a1)
end

function HideTop()
local a1 = 0 
bauderrors:SetAlpha(a1)
dominos:SetAlpha(a1)
classtimer:SetAlpha(a1)
panda:SetAlpha(a1)
volume:SetAlpha(a1)
ora:SetAlpha(a1)
nametoggle:SetAlpha(a1)
hatter:SetAlpha(a1)
buffet:SetAlpha(a1)
dbm:SetAlpha(a1)
end

HideTop()
f1:SetScript("OnEnter",function() ShowTop() end)
f1:SetScript("OnLeave",function() HideTop() end)

It works fine, but there is some kind of conflict with couple of launchers like dominos and dbm in my case:

for some reason when I mouseover one of those launchers on that panel whole panel vanishes and tooltip spawns instead.

e.g.
pic1: mouseover any element in that screen area - my panel shows up
http://idfiles.homeip.net/UploadImag...009_001831.jpg

pic2: and when I mouseover dominos launcher the panel disappears
http://idfiles.homeip.net/UploadImag...009_002219.jpg

If I remove tooltip spawning code in those launchers (i.e. onEnter/Leave handlers) everything works fine, but without tooltips which is sad

Blizz' API about entering/leaving is not very clever, so they don't really check if the panel is still underneath your mouse (and the block). Try to use this script: Code: local updateFrame = CreateFrame"Frame" updateFrame:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(self) if(not MouseIsOver(f1)) then HideTop() self:Hide() end end And add in ShowTop() the following to make use of it: updateFrame:Show() This update-routine basically checks as soon as you entered the panel every time if your mouse is still over the frame and so bypasses the false OnLeave. By the way, why don't you make all blocks in the panel as the panel's child with dominos:SetParent(f1) - Then you don't have to set the alpha-values for each block manually, because they inherit it from the panel. Hope, this works, as I didn't test it __________________ « Website \| GitHub » Oh hai!

Great! Just great, this method worked. I had to do some minor modifications to code you posted:

Code:

local updateFrame = CreateFrame("Frame")
updateFrame:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(self)
    if(MouseIsOver(f1)) then
        ShowTop()
        self:Show()
    else
	HideTop()
	self:Hide()
    end
end)

and everything worked as I wanted.

Also thanks for the tip to use SetParent method, my layout code looks much cleaner now :P

xConStruct A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 199 File comments: 374 Uploads: 18	I'll check it as soon as possible. EDIT: Just looked into Ara_Broker_XP and Ara somehow likes to add color information to the data broker name. So, you have to define the name in cargoShip on the same way: \|cFFFFB366Ara\|r XP \|cFFFFB366Ara\|r Tradeskills \|cFFFFB366Ara\|r Guild If some others don't work, it's a good start to find the exact name of the data object in the broker-file. Just search for "NewDataObject" and the name should usually appear in the bracket after it __________________ « Website \| GitHub » Oh hai! Last edited by xConStruct : 07-17-09 at 06:11 AM.

Dainton A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 115 File comments: 64 Uploads: 1	I've noticed that the display is still shown when you hide the interface (default "Z" if i remember correctly). Is this intentional? It's not a big deal for me as I don't use it often, but some might like a way to hide it with it.

drdead A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 6 File comments: 20 Uploads: 0	Hello Cargor. Tnx for great addon. I created frame int layout.lua to attach LDB launchers to it but that frame doesnt move other frames, and i need all frames that cross with it go down (i have minimap at the upper right corner w\o addons that overrides "panel" i created, so i cant move it). What i need to add? Code: local fr = CreateFrame("Frame") fr:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND") fr:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", UIParent, "TOPLEFT", 0, 0) fr:SetWidth(900) fr:SetHeight(15) fr:SetScale(1.2) fr:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0) fr:SetClampedToScreen(true) fr:EnableMouse(true) fr:Show()

Okay, well, to be honest, the only reason I still play WoW is because of addon development. The rest became boring after four years of active playing =P
And since I write them in my free time and also release them for free, there are of course the subscription fee's ... so if you want to support me, here's your chance!

And ... umm ... there's still the habit of eating lots of chocolate while thinking of addons :/
