Ribbon

Version: 2.5
by: mikma [More]

Ever had a feeling you need to remember something? Tie a ribbon on your finger? No...

Ribbon allows you to enter notes in LDB from where you can highlight them (show them in the LDB), paste the notes in chat, and remove the notes you have added.

Ribbon was coded with NinjaPanel, and it uses LibQTip-1.0 and LibQTipClick-1.0.

Thanks for the great help goes to Torhal, the one of the authors of QTip and QTipClick.

2.5:
* Fixed login error when changing servers.

2.4:
* .toc updated to 3.2.
* Fixed line 46 error. (Happened when you deleted entry that was before highlighted note)

2.3:
* Removed LibQTipClick.

2.2:
* Changed the orders of icons and text in the list
* Reworked the Help
* Added Width-limit in the dropdown + display. The messages are saved full-length, but are shown as shorter versions.
* Items can also be added in Ribbon now, hope it works...

2.1:
* Removed the mouseover -text from display and changed it to be in tooltip if there are no notes.

2.0:
* Complete rewrite!

1.2:
* You can now edit the notes you have created
* New notes created will go at the last spot of list
* Changed the way how Ribbon handles the notes to display

1.1:
* Added smart positioning for Tooltip, Dropdown, and Editbox.
* Changed the text in Tooltip.

1.0:
* Release

Ribbon is now unfortunately bugged with the WoW 3.3.5 ChatFrameEditBox problem. Try to link saved text via the "bubble" chat link icon in the Ribbon tooltip, it does not happen and an error is thrown up:

Code:
["message"] = "Ribbon-2.5\\Ribbon.lua:90: attempt to index global 'ChatFrameEditBox' (a nil value)\nLibQTip-1.0-34 (Broker_Auditor):1047: in function <...dOns\\Broker_Auditor\\Libs\\LibQTip-1.0\\LibQTip-1.0.lua:1046>\n\nLocals:|r\nframe = <unnamed> {\n 0 = <userdata>\n _OnMouseDown_func = <function> defined @Interface\\AddOns\\Ribbon\\Ribbon.lua:89\n _font = GameTooltipText {\n }\n _OnMouseDown_arg =(my linked text removed)\n _column = 3\n _justification = \"LEFT\"\n _provider = <table> {\n }\n _line = 4\n _colSpan = 1\n fontString = <unnamed> {\n }\n}\n\n  ---",
            ["type"] = "error",
            ["session"] = 37,
            ["counter"] = 2,
        }, -- [956]
Error repeats on every click of the chat link icon.

Changing parts of lines 90 & 91 in Ribbon.lua from ChatFrameEditBox to ChatFrame1EditBox is a cheap hack that fixes the issue. There are more elegant solutions to this as well, but involve more code changes.

It was my first time trying Ribbon, so nope - nothing important saved. Only the one test note I tried to make. I might try downloading Ribbon again and trying later. Thanks.

Unhappy Doesn't seem to work

Clicking or right clicking just brings up a blank note to edit. I see no way to access the test note... I thought I'd made. I'm using Titan Panel.

I also get error:

Error: attempt to compare nil with number
File: Interface\AddOns\Ribbon\Ribbon.lua
Line: 114
Count: 8

TIA,

Found the problem

I was getting a similar error with another addon also so did a bit of research and found it to be an outdated LibStatLogic.

I downloaded the newest LibStatLogic from wowace (http://www.wowace.com/addons/libstatlogic-1-1/) and it no longer gives an error.

Not sure if your addon specifically uses this lib or not or just triggered it.

Thank you

Thanks for the reply. No, its definitely not a conflict.

LibQTip is one of the few libraries I keep embedded in all mods tested/used; keep most others disembedded. When a new release (or alpha) has gone out, I have done full REPLACEs (Windows/DOS) of LibQTip-1.0.lua & LibQTip-1.0.toc in the addons directory. Every version of LibQTip that is loading here is identical.

As well, after updating LibQTip-1.0 to r120-release, it was the first time I have tried Ribbon. Its the only mod I've tested/run recently that depends on LibQTipClick-1.0.

Many other mods I regularly run here depend on LibQTipClick-1.1. There are no issues with the new LibQTip and the last (r9) LibQTipClick-1.1 that I've seen yet. I also have Click embedded in every mod that needs it; yes, I regularly did replaces on those when they were being updated.

Would assume that in a more typical user scenario of different LibQTip-1.0 versions being embedded in different mods, the typical library behavior of most-recent-version-takes-priority-&-gets-loaded-without-issue would occur.

Feex is needed!

Dead when used with the current release version of LibQTip-1.0 (r120-release) & the obsolete LibQTipClick-1.0 (last alpha r39 from 2 months ago. Progressed to LibQTipClick-1.1, but now the base LibQTip-1.0 library contains Click finctionality).

Using with StatBlockCore LDB display, USEnglish client/server, WoW 3.1.3 live. Log into WoW, mouse over the StatBlock containing Ribbon and the following error came up:

[2009/07/22 02:47:31-919-x6]: LibQTip-1.0-29 (Broker_RaidSave):245: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'l_pad' (a table value)
LibQTipClick-1.0-2 (Ribbon):64: in function `SetupCell'
LibQTip-1.0-29 (Broker_RaidSave):710: in function <...Ons\Broker_RaidSave\libs\LibQTip-1.0\LibQTip-1.0.lua:622>
(tail call): ?:
Ribbon-2.2\Ribbon.lua:102: in function `OnEnter'
Ribbon-2.2\Ribbon.lua:128: in function `OnEnter'
StatBlockCore-2.6\StatBlockCore.lua:613: in function <Interface\AddOns\StatBlockCore\StatBlockCore.lua:602>

Repeats every time you mouse over the LDB display. Disable Broker_RaidSave and a different Broker addontakes the place of it in the error message (but same line numbers for the error, etc.).

Turn off all addons except StatBlockCore, BugSack/BugGrabber, Addon Control Panel (ACP) & the Ace3 libraries (disembedded) and the error when you mouse over the block:

[2009/07/22 02:59:49-922-x4]: LibQTip-1.0-29 (Ribbon):245: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'l_pad' (a table value)
LibQTipClick-1.0-2 (Ribbon):64: in function `SetupCell'
LibQTip-1.0-29 (Ribbon):710: in function <Interface\AddOns\Ribbon\LibQTip-1.0.lua:622>
(tail call): ?:
Ribbon-2.2\Ribbon.lua:102: in function `OnEnter'
Ribbon-2.2\Ribbon.lua:128: in function `OnEnter'
StatBlockCore-2.6\StatBlockCore.lua:613: in function <Interface\AddOns\StatBlockCore\StatBlockCore.lua:602>


You can enter text when you click the Block ("Enter to accept, Esc to cancel"), but you cannot access it.

One question, any way I can move the icons to the right side, the latest version moved them to the left which now makes it tricker, on my setup, to use the icons.
Not possible. The icons looked stupid on the right side because of all the length differences in the lines, so I decided to move them to the left side instead.
