Example Panel

DockingStation (Display) Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

A display platform for LibDataBroker (LDB) based plug-ins. The display is provided through panels, each having three sections (Left, Center, Right), which correspond to how the contents of plugins will be justified.

All plugins are disabled by default and you must turn on the ones you want to use. This is to avoid the complete mess that results from all plugins being on with the first use. The only plugin on at the start is the one provided by this addon to access its options easily. Just click it to start changing settings.

Plugins are listed in alphabetical order by their labels. For plugins that have a name different from the label, the actual name of the plugin will be shown to the right of the label once selected in the plugin options menu.

With plugins unlocked you can drag and drop them to other panels/sections and have them automatically adjust to their new location. There are no limitations on the drag and drop capabilities other than the new location for a plugin must be within a panel. You may also change the location of a plugin through the plugin options menu.

A disabled plugin will try and maintain its location at the time it was disabled. However, moving any active plugin into its spot will have that active plugin bump it over one. Example: A plugin that is the 2nd from the left in the left section is disabled. It can be reactivated at any time and still show up in that same spot unless another plugin was specifically dragged and dropped into the 2nd position from the left of that section. In that case the disabled plugin would be the 3rd from the left upon being enabled again.

Almost all sub-sections of settings have a default option. The defaults follow a set pattern. First plugins check their settings, if default, they next go to their panel's settings. If the panel is also set to default then it defers to the addon's global settings. Finally, if the global settings are still set to default, then the hard coded defaults are used.

Note: It is recommended that you delete the folder(s) for an existing addon when updating to a different version. This is to keep files that are no longer used from taking up space.

ZoeRayne A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	With FuBar going away, I've tried all the various LDB display options out there, and Docking Station is by far the best, IMO. That said, I'd give my firstborn (or homemade chocolate chip cookies, if you prefer) for a Docking Station/LDB port of BagBar and PointMan. Neither of them seem to work with FuBar2Broker, and I don't know lua well enough to poke around and determine what the problem is.

Veyska A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 37 Uploads: 0	MrTrader's author is the one I quoted in my comment and is the add-on that put a work-around in his most recent revision (v0.5.7), but XParky (or at least the version I'm running, 1.2.2) also needs a name to anchor to. To be fair, those are the only two I've run into that have that sort of issue and both are trying to anchor something to the bar, XParky is anchoring an XP bar and I think MrTrader's anchoring a Blizzard-style drop-down menu (for memory savings he said, I think, WoWAce is down for maintenance so I can't check atm).

The global names are for panels only, not the individual plugins. What addon(s) need those to be named to work?

Every LDB feed creates a frame in the display. In Titan and Fortress, these frames get names. In DockingStation, they don't.

UIDropDownMenu's meager documentation seems to require that you pass in frames by name, and these frames don't have them.

Any chance we could get an early release of the global frame name bits? I've got two mods that that is messing up (though one just released a DS-specific fix I've not yet tried out). Otherwise loving DockingStation (the tooltip scaling is a god-send) but this one niggling little bit is, well, niggling. :-P

I still don't have an ETA on the new version. Here is a list of things that will be different that are ready to go or are partially implemented as of now:

MMOUI Minion support (X-WoWI-ID in TOC file)
ConfigMode support
Unlocked panels are now highlighted in blue to better show their boundaries
Panel visibility uses macro conditionals (i.e. state based) to determine their alpha level (CompassHUD uses the library I wrote to implement this feature if you want a preview)
Removal of the special tooltip code resulting in significantly less cpu use (Blizzard's horrible temp buff code was the worst offender)
All objects (panels and plugin components) are dynamically created if enabled (recycled when disabled) to use less memory and save cpu processing
Panels will have an option to make them global (will be in _G and the method GetName will work)
The inheritance for settings changed to use less cpu processing (no longer uses function calls)
Plugins that are not enabled will no longer waste cpu time when they are updated (on DockingStation's end at least)

YOU ROCK! That fixed it.

Any idea when a new version is coming, and any cool features? I absolutely LOVE this addon!

Gads - version 0.2.17 if the toc file is to be trusted. I wonder why minion didn't pick this up. Let me try the newest and see if anything improves.

Those plugins are not written properly and that is why they don't show up.

Everything working right, but DockingStation is bombing out hard. Filling the LUA error log with:

Count:14821 (and counting)

in function 'GetResolutionInfo' ..\Addons\DockingStation\Libs\LibDisplayAssist-1.1.lua

Most likely a bug or issue with LibDisplayAssist, but since I looked at the code and can't really figure out what LibDisplayAssist is trying to do... I thought I'd ask here

I actually quit playing about 3 weeks before I even started writing DockingStation, so yes, an update is still coming. My time has been very limited for a few months so it has been slow going on getting all the code changes done that I want to make.
