Broker LFG  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 7.3.5.0
by: Phanx [More]

I am no longer developing or maintaining World of Warcraft addons. I haven't played in years, and don't have the time or interest to continue working on addons for a game I don't play anymore. If you are an addon author interested in continuing one of my addons, please see https://phanx.net/addons/. If you are an addon user, sorry, but there won't be any more fixes or updates from me.
Basic LFG button for your DataBroker display.
  • Click to open the Dungeon Finder.
  • Right-Click to open the PVP window.
  • Middle-Click, or Shift-Click, to open the Pet Journal.
  • Alt-Click to open the Raid Finder.
  • Ctrl-Click to open the Scenarios window.
While you are queued, or in an LFG/LFR group, battleground, or scenario, right-click opens the menu instead, and you can use Shift-Right-Click to open the PVP window.
Known Issues
Due to Blizzard restrictions, you will not be able to leave battleground queues while using this addon, except by waiting until the queue pops and clicking the Decline button on the dialog. I have no ETA on a resolution, so don't bother asking, unless you are a Blizzard developer with a solid ETA on when you are going to allow addons to leave battleground queues in response to a hardware event and/or fix your oversensitive dropdown menu system.
Feedback
Post a comment. Please note that I consider this addon to be complete, and will probably not add any new features.

If you are posting about a problem, please include the name of your DataBroker display addon, and the actual error message.
Language Support
Works in all locales. Translated into English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, Português, Русский, 한국어, 简体中文, and 正體中文.

To add or update translations for any locale, enter them on the Broker LFG localization page on CurseForge, and then send me a PM here or on CurseForge to let me know that you’ve made changes. If you don’t have a Curse account and don’t want to create one, you can PM me your translations instead. Thanks!

Version 7.3.5.0
  • Updated for game changes (i.e. PlaySound errors)

Version 7.1.0.0
  • Updated for WoW 7.1

Version 7.0.3.1
  • Ctrl-click now opens Premade Groups instead of Scenarios
  • Unusable actions (eg. Raid Finder below level 85) are no longer shown in the tooltip

Version 6.1.0.3
  • Updated for WoW 6.1

Version 6.0.3.10
  • Updated for raid difficulty changes in WoD

I don't know, as I haven't done a battleground since someone dragged me to one back in the Level 60 days, but I'd have to say the current behavior is intended. Broker LFG is only meant to handle PVE queues, and does not include any code to detect or do anything with PVP queues or zones. I believe the default UI shows separate minimap buttons for PVE and PVP queues, as well. If you want to do PVP stuff, there is probably at least one Broker plugin that replaces the default PVP button.

Hey Phanx I have a small issue with this and maybe I am just missing something but I did a Battle Ground today and wanted to leave so usually you would right click and select leave battle ground. However the option does not appear as the addon lets you "right-click to open the Raid Browser window".

It lets you right click when you are in a raid finder group to leave but just not for BG's. What can be done to fix this? Thank you for your time and effort you put into your projects

Curse takes forever to approve new files that are uploaded by hand. WoWI will always have a more up to date version of any of my addons except Grid.

I'm using last version on Live 5.0.5 with Italian Localization.


1x Broker_LFG\Broker_LFG-5.0.4.41.lua:149: attempt to index global "MiniMapLFGFrameDropDown" (a nil value)
Broker_LFG\Broker_LFG-5.0.4.41.lua:149: in function "OnClick"
StatBlockCore\StatBlockCore-v2.73.lua:598: in function <StatBlockCore\StatBlockCore.lua:596>

Locals:
frame = StatBlockCore_LFG {
0 = <userdata>
pluginName = "LFG"
pluginObject = <table> {}
}
btn = "RightButton"

The dropdown works for me just fine, as of yesterday afternoon when I used it several times to port into and out of dungeons.

Please try deleting and reinstalling Broker LFG and, if the problem still happens afterward, reply with the following information:
  1. WoW patch version, language, and region
    Check the login screen for the exact patch number.
  2. Broker display addon name and version
  3. Character faction, level, class, and spec
  4. Specific description of the problem
    eg. "menu doesn't appear when unqueued", "menu appears in LFD queues but not LFR queues", or "menu appears inside LFD dungeons but not while queued"
  5. Does the problem happen when all other addons are disabled at the character selection screen?
  6. (a) Do you have either BugSack or Swatter enabled?
    (b) Do you have "Show Lua Errors" checked under Interface Options > Help?
    If "no" to both, please go install BugSack (and its required component !BugGrabber) and restart WoW.
  7. Exact text of the first error message that appears when the problem happens

A little bug in MoP Beta

I was testing LFR yesterday on Pandaria Beta and i found a bug ...(i suppose) ... Your broker is workin' perfectly, but when you're inside a LFR and teleport out.. there's no way to teleport back in .. right click on the LFR Broker doesn't work. Is it normal?

Honestly I'd rather you just modify the addon, rename it to avoid confusion, and release it separately, but I've enabled uploads if you really want to do it as a "fingers in the pie" thing.

ok, had a little time and started extending your addon to show text info. It should not mess with your addon and is loaded after LFG_Broker. Just adding ldb.text and changing your type to data source.Would you mind me uploading it as an optional file for your addon (currently disabled)?

svn://svn.wowinterface.com/Broker_LFGText-983

It's no longer functional because it uses stuff that seems abandoned or not yet fixed by blizz (GetLFGMode in UIParent.lua). I have it cut down to work for me but since I have not yet looked into the LFG process and not yet learned how it works I thought it would be quicker to ask But with your broker (which is the only I found working correctly in 5.0) I now have a good way to understand what happens when and where ... now I only have to find some time
