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

Hey there! You are still around? I can't get this Broker AddOn to work.
http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/broker_oqueue

No Error notifications. It just won't show up.

Code:

local oqueue = cargoShip{
name = ..name..,
noIcon = false,
font = normal_font,
fontStyle = "OUTLINE MONOCHROME",
fontSize = 6
}

oqueue:SetPoint("CENTER", UIParent, "TOPRIGHT", -27, -160)

I got a feeling it has something to do with the registration of the name.

Broker Addon Code

Code:

local name, oQueueLDB = ...

-- stolen without permission from SlashIn
local MacroEditBox = MacroEditBox
local MacroEditBox_OnEvent = MacroEditBox:GetScript("OnEvent")


LibStub("LibDataBroker-1.1"):NewDataObject(name, oQueueLDB)

oQueueLDB.type = "launcher"
oQueueLDB.icon = "Interface\\AddOns\\oQueue\\art\\oq_button"
oQueueLDB.text = "oQueue"


function oQueueLDB:OnClick(button)
	if IsShiftKeyDown() then
		MacroEditBox_OnEvent(MacroEditBox, "EXECUTE_CHAT_LINE", "/oq mini")
	else
		OQ_buttonShow(self, button, false)

		if button == "RightButton" then
			oqmenu:SetClampedToScreen(true)
		end
	end
end

function oQueueLDB:OnEnter()
	GameTooltip:SetOwner(self, "ANCHOR_NONE")
	GameTooltip:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", self, "BOTTOMLEFT")
	GameTooltip:ClearLines()

	GameTooltip:SetText("oQueue")
	GameTooltip:AddLine("|cffeda55fLeft-click|r to toggle main UI.")
	GameTooltip:AddLine("|cffeda55fShift-click|r to toggle minimap button.")
	GameTooltip:AddLine("|cffeda55fRight-click|r for menu.")

	GameTooltip:Show()
end


oQueueLDB.OnLeave = GameTooltip_Hide

Your name is wrong....

Lua Code:

local oqueue = cargoShip{
name = 'Broker oQueue',
noIcon = false,
font = normal_font,
fontStyle = "OUTLINE MONOCHROME",
fontSize = 6,
  }
oqueue:SetPoint("CENTER", UIParent, "TOPRIGHT", -27, -160)

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 :/
