Guild block (sorted by class).
Ara Broker Guild Friends   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
A Data Broker plugin that provides 2 blocks: one for guildmates & one for friends. These blocks show informative and interactive clickable tooltips. It's fast and lightweight.


It has the following functionalities on entries
- click guildmates or friends to whisp them.
- alt+click guildmates or friends to invite them.
- control+click friends to edit note.
- if you're an officier, you can control+click guildmates to edit their public note, and control+right click to edit officer's note.
- right click guildmates to sort the closest column.
- if you're an officer, you can click the MOTD to edit.
- middle click on friends to remove from friend list.
- control+mousewheel to resize tooltip.

And the following functionalities on blocks
- control+click to toggle hints so you don't have to remember all this crap.
- left click on guild block to toggle guild panel
- right click on guild block to toggle the guild notes column.
- shift+click on guild block to toggle guild name.
- left click on friend block to toggle friend panel.
- shift+right click on blocks to toggle total number of guildmates or friends.
- middle click on friend block to show the "add a friend" dialog box.


It shows
- check marks for grouped guildmates and friends.
- class icon (mainly to provide a column to sort) when not grouped.
- class colored names.
- level colored in grey, green, yellow, orange or red depending of your own level.
- zone colored in green, yellow or red depending of faction.
- public notes (and officer notes for guildmates if you have the rights).
- rank for guildmates.


If you have AddonLoader, this addon will load as delayed.
If you have Skinner, this addon will be automatically skinned.
  Change Log - Ara Broker Guild Friends
r22
- Removed localization file, now using LOCALIZED_CLASS_NAMES_MALE and LOCALIZED_CLASS_NAMES_FEMALE global tables (added in WoW 3.2). Delete the previous folder before extracting this version or you will end up with a dead file.
- Fixed a rare and weird issue (hopefully).


r21
- Added Control+MouseWheel to resize tooltip (experimental).
- Optimized implementation of the scrollbar: move lines instead of redrawing the entire tooltip.
- Fixed a possible appearance of the scrollbar when it is not wanted.
- Changed the maximum number of entries shown to something adapted to your UI scale and options.


r20
- Added a scrollbar for large guilds and/or friendlist. Use the mousewheel anywhere on the tooltip to scroll easily. (Credit goes to Tekkub for his "FauxScrollFrame" implementation )


r19
- Fixed an issue with 3.2 (GetDifficultyColor -> GetQuestDifficultyColor).
- Changed the MOTD to always display properly.
- Code tweaking.


r18
- Added support for !ClassColors.


r17
- Fixed a display issue introduced in r16. It was affecting unguilded characters.


r16
- Added tooltip with hints. Ctrl+Click a block to toggle hints.
- Added friend block shortcuts to add a friend.
- Added a MiddleClick shortcut on friend entries to remove a friend.
- Added a Shift+RightClick shortcut on blocks to toggle the total number of guildmates or friends.


r15
- Enhanced friend list refresh. Before, it was only refreshing on online/offline events. Now, it will also make sure to refresh at least once every 15 sec. That way, friends location is more accurate.


r14
- Fixed the possible leading space to the right of the tooltip when in group.
- Fixed the ruRU translation of Death Knight.
- Changed how to inherit fonts. Font addons will be able to dynamically modify them.


r13
- Made it compatible with DockingStation (display).


r12
- Fixed potential conflicts with other addons: RAID_CLASS_COLORS and CLASS_BUTTONS are now left untouched.
- Added the LDB attribute "type" (set to "data source") for better recognition & display integration.
- Replaced Menu_OnUpdate timer with MouseIsOver.


r11
- Fixed a bug that was raising the tooltip when the MOTD was edited.
- Added class localizations for friend list coloring.
- Removed class icons when grouped, so check marks are next to names for better quick views.


r10
- Fixed an error introduced with r9 that was checking everything when grouped.


r9
- Changed the visuals for grouped guildmates & friends to dynamic check marks (from greyed out icon/names).
- Changed the background handling to be Skinner friendly.
- Removed debug messages left in r8.


r8
- Fixed a silly error (missing "end").


r7
- Fixed the tooltip scale issue (r6 received only half of the fix and an internal version the other half...)
- Fixed an annoying issue that was causing ellipsis "..." on some entries.
- Removed use of Blizzard's tooltip (now use mine exclusively).


r6
- Fixed the tooltip scale issue.


r5
- Fixed a nil error occuring when guild data is not ready (but still can't get the data sometimes when first loading).
- Fixed the inverted class order on reloadui.
- Added a toggle to show/hide the guild name (Shift+Click the guild block).
- Added an officer's functionality: Control+RightClick to edit officer's note.
- Added (very) limited in-combat use: shows a snapshot of the previous accessed list.
- Added records to save sorted column/order between session.
- Extended the greyed out names of grouped guildmates to friends.
- Removed the label/value support (no more needed).


r4
- Fixed an error when entering the friend block with a non-english client (sorry, no translations added).
- Fixed AddonLoader support (hopefully): block text should be set at load time.
- Added a toggle to show/hide guild notes: any non left mouse click on the guild block will do (right, middle, 4, 5).
- Added a visual effect to distinguish from grouped and ungrouped guildmates: those in your group are coloured in grey.
- Added Skinner support.


r3
- FIXED A BIG REFRESH ISSUE. It should be smoother and more responsive now.
- Fixed AddonLoader support in toc file.
- Added a functionality so that an officer can control click a guildmate to edit its public note.
- Added support for "label" (guild name) and "value" (online/total) so that you can manage them separatly in your display (show/hide/etc).
- Added ClearFont support (not tested).
- Changed color of officer note (orange) to distinguish from public note (yellow).
- Changed frame strata to TOOLTIP (from DIALOG).
- Removed the extra space in front of a friend name (GetFriendInfo returns "" for status whereas GetGuildRosterInfo returns nil).


r2
- Fixed icon paths.


r1
- Initial release.

found it, go to Ara_broker_guild_friends.lua

find the line (8?):
local defaultConfig = { showGuildNotes = true, showGuildName = true, sortType = "class", sortDESC = false, scale = 1 }

change class to rank
save
done!

I *love* this addon, except for a couple quirks that others of its type don't have:

- dropdowns stop being interactive in combat (I can understand not updating, but not being interactive is kind of weird)

- friends plugin shows guild dropdown during combat, or vice-versa

DockingStation. Even before 3.2 it did that.
