Fortress  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.1.5
by: Borlox [More]

Fortress is a display addon for LDB data feeds. It shows each plugin as a block, which is freely movable and can stick to other blocks. Blocks can be unstuck by holding the ctrl-key while dragging them.

Commands:
Use /fortress or /ft to open the configuration (also accessible via Main Menu -> Interface -> Addons -> Fortress).

Configuration:
The configuration has two parts: The master settings and the individual plugin settings. At first each option is controlled by the master settings and therefore it has the same effect for each plugin. Once you change something individually for one plugin, this setting is no longer controlled by the master mode (for this plugin).
You can select the mode for each option at the "Select master" tab in each plugin's config screen.

Bug Reports:
To report a bug, please open a ticket here.

How do I delete an empty block? And is there any way I can configure an empty block (making its width longer, changing its color, etc.)?

Thank you so much for the empty blocks. I've been having problems where individual blocks won't align correctly (they will align left or right instead of center for stuff like traveler's reference addon where the text changes often) so I just stick that block to an empty block that has no border and backgound! Viola!

Thanks!


I have a request. I don't know if this is possible but my layout for my Fortress has blocks all over my screen. Unfortunately, this makes it really easy to mouse over them. Is there any way possible you could make it so mouseover to bring up the tooltip only brings up the tooltip if you are holding down a modifier key such as Shift, or Ctrl?

I don't like having to disable the tooltips on stuff just to avoid it blocking part of the screen when I accidentally slide my mouse over it for a split second. Most tooltips contain information I want to see. I just want it to show only when I really want it to instead of just whenever I happen to bump the mouse over to that area of the screen, and having to move the blocks somewhere I won't accidentally mouse over them just to avoid the tooltip popping up really defeats the purpose of having it so I can put them anywhere I want them.

If it's not possible, I guess I'll just have to learn to live with it the way it is, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask
That should be possible, though I cannot promise anything, as I'm very busy at the moment. Maybe I'll find some time around the holidays.

Any chance of making just the icons show or at least the text of each block disappear on mouse-out?
The reappearing text is a known bug, try to use the latest alpha version, it's fixed there: http://www.wowace.com/addons/fortres...13-1-g5bc5a97/

Disabling Text and Label should only left the icon to be shown, did you just check one of them?

Uhm, that's not supported by Fortress, but if you wan't to do it yourself, the frame names follow this scheme:
"LegoFortressDataBrokerName"
e.g. Broker_Clock would have
"LegoFortressBroker_Clock"

This may be changed in future releases (I'll mention it in the changelog).

That's an error in YssDrop, that somehow uses LibQTip incorrectly, or there's a bug in LibQTip. Fortress just issues YssDrop to show it's tooltip, so the error trace starts from Fortress' code.

You could use one of the DataBroker addons for Recount:
