KeepingTabs

Version: 1.5

by: Seerah [More]

NOTE: in WoD, the dungeons/raid/pvp windows were merged together into one tabbed window. This removes the need for KeepingTabs for these windows, and this functionality has been removed. The original functionality of KeepingTabs, to combine the friends and social windows, is still intact.

KeepingTabs gives you an easy way to keep tabs on all that is important to you. By adding tabs to the sides of certain frames, it is easier to keep tabs on your friends and guild as well as on your dungeons, raids and pvp. This allows you to use just one keybind for friends/guild and one keybind for dungeons/raid/pvp. It also makes it easier to switch between these (no longer separated) windows.

By default, the new tab for the guild frame opens to the first tab - news and events. If you prefer it to open to the second tab for the roster instead, you may open up KT_Social.lua in any text editor, find this at the very top

Code:

--Open directly to the Guild Roster tab 
--when switching to the guild frame
local roster = false
------------------------

and change it to true.

The guild tab should act like the guild perks tab in your spellbook and the top-left circle of the Guild UI, where the icon changes to your guild tabard.

v.1.5
- updated for WoD
- back to original purpose, with only tabs for friends/guild windows (since LFG, PVP, and RAIDS are grouped together now)

v.1.4.2
- cleaner access of PVP frame
- updated TOC for 5.4

v.1.4.1
- update TOC for 5.2
- update for renaming of pvp frame

v.1.4
- updated for MoP changes to dungeon/raid finder

v.1.3.1
- sorry folks, removed the debug print statements I had left in ><

v.1.3
- updated all icons to be square ones (a couple have changed appearance)
- added the PVP frame to the LFG and LFR tab set

v.1.2
- added support for Dungeon and Raid Finders!
- renamed KeepingTabs.lua to KT_Social.lua

v.1.1
- update TOC for 4.3
- fix tab placement on friends frame (Blizz changed the frame so now the tabs require same x,y coordinates that the guld frame had - imagine that!)

v.1.0
- updated TOC number

v. 0.4
- fixed tabs overlapping the Raid Info panel

v. 0.3
- only create tabs once!

v. 0.2
- code updates/organization
- fix for guild tabard icon

If you already know about this fix then nps. just telling you know they are peeps out there that use this and would like it to be updated to work with p4.3 officially Cheers for this problem solving addon

Seerah Fishing Trainer Forum posts: 10860 File comments: 687 Uploads: 33	Thanks, wagg1 for finding exactly what to change before I could look at it. Blizz must have changed the friends frame or something so that it's now the same as the guild frame. I have no clue why they required different x,y offsets before, but now they're the same. __________________ "You'd be surprised how many people violate this simple principle every day of their lives and try to fit square pegs into round holes, ignoring the clear reality that Things Are As They Are." -Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Gethe RealUI Developer Forum posts: 942 File comments: 122 Uploads: 12	The reason is the panel templates Blizz added in Cata, found in FrameXML/UIPanelTemplates.xml near the end of the file. The guild frame uses these templates, while the social frame used a static texture until 4.3. The offset is different due to the static texture being wider than the visible graphic, requiring the tabs to be inset. The templates on the other hand use h+v tiling to create a frame whose functional size is the same as its visible size. A few frames that use these templates are the LFG/LFR, TradeSkill, Talents, PvP Frame, Character Frame, Spell Book and more that I'm to tired to look up/remember.

Thanks for the explanation!

Hello there. nice update you have with the loot finder and grp finder tabs. but this update did not like my other tab addon Tabbed Dungeon Browser. so for now i will be removing the pve tabs. But if you could add a battleground tab to the raid finder and the dungeon finder then this then would be the perfect addon as and i would remove TDB cos then i have 1 addon that does both tasks link to tdb just incase of something http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/rbtabbed-browser Last edited by wagg1 : 03-11-12 at 06:00 AM.

wagg1 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 18 Uploads: 0	Cheers for the update with the pvp tab. This is one of them add-ons that i believe i would not be able to play wow with out as i don't use the mini options bar Now i can also remove the other addon i was using for the pvp tab as now this addon is 100% perfect (atm. as i have not seen a bug with it ) one thing. i did not like the new icons for the lfg lfr and pvp tab. but i liked it that u still had the icons in the files with the "--" But for any others that wants a pvp icon that i think fits with the older icons i use this one. nptX:SetNormalTexture("Interface\\BattlefieldFrame\\UI-Battlefield-Icon") Just change the X with the parts of the code. so it would be 2 3 and for number 1 just remove the X Last edited by wagg1 : 03-29-12 at 03:25 PM.
