Tabbed Dungeon Browser (tabDB)

What is it?
I love the new cross-realm Dungeon Finder and Raid Browser, but I can’t understand why Blizzard decided to keep these features completely separated despite their obvious synergy. This small add-on attempts to fix this by combining the Dungeon Finder and the Raid Browser into a single window with tabs on the right hand side to switch between them. This results in easy access to the Raid Browser through the menu bar micro buttons.

More Details
The add-on will remember which of the two windows you last had open and will reopen it for you the next time you invoke the Dungeon Finder or Raid Browser. You can open them through any of Blizzard’s default methods, including the menu bar micro buttons, slash commands or the button in the raid tab of the social window. Note: If you do invoke it through the raid tab of the social window, the add-on will assume you wanted to open the Raid Browser specifically and will always open the Raid Browser regardless of the last window opened.

New in 2.0a
Thanks to user suggestions I’ve updated TabDB to include the Battlegrounds as well. Now you can easily tab between Raids, Dungeons and Battlegrounds to see what’s going on in each. Please check the change log for other updates.

Unfortunately I've been busy this past few weeks with work commitments and I'm about to start a two week vacation that will leave little time for working on the add-on, but don't worry it will come! Thanks to everyone for the incredible support of TabDB, all the feedback and suggestions are great! Last edited by DefectiveUser : 01-15-2010 at 11:02 PM.

Um, it shouldn't. The add-ons completely self contained and should not be affecting TradeTabs. I'm out at the moment so can't look at TradeTabs to see what's going on, will check it out as soon as I can though. Has anyone else had an issue with TabDB and TradeTabs?

UPDATE: I Just tested this with TradeTabs and both add-ons coexist perfectly on my system. I had a quick look through TradeTabs code and see no reason why either should be affecting the other. Did you install/update other add-ons at the same time as TabDB and/or TradeTabs?

DefectiveUser A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 8 Uploads: 1	I apologize to everyone for not catching this but I introduced a bug in 2.0a1. In my rush to fix a test variable in 2.0a, I released 2.0a1 without updating all references to it. This creates a nul LAU error when you click 'Open Raid Browser' from the Raid frame of the Social interface. I've got 2.0a2 uploaded and pending approval which has this fixed. Thanks to Awbee for catching it! Last edited by DefectiveUser : 12-24-2009 at 07:01 PM.

DefectiveUser A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 8 Uploads: 1	Thanks, Awbee, for the report. I'll start with the easy one first. TabDB only remembers the last tab opened for the Raid Browser and Dungeon Finder. Since the Battlegrounds can be opened directly through the micro menu and was added as a matter of convenience to TabDB I felt that it would be annoying to have it pop up when you specifically clicked on the Dungeon Finder. Since there is no easy way to access the Raid Browser, it made sense to me to offer a simple, single button click to access the Raid Browser once that tab had been selected. This is partly the logic for why TabDB remembers which tab you last had open. As for the error, I'll need to take a look at what's gone wrong there. It's likely that you have another add-on that's misbehaving. I place a hook on the OnClick function of the "Open Raid Browser" button and do several things to make sure other add-ons that do the same aren’t affected by it, but I can't say the same for everyone else. From your description, either I've missed something (maybe the button changes under certain circumstances) or one of your add-ons has overwritten my hook. If you could answer the following questions, it would greatly help me determine what went wrong. 1) Does this happen only when you’re in a raid, after you've been in a raid, or all the time including right after you first log in? 2) Does disabling all other add-ons, especially those that may have to do with raiding and this button, fix the error message? Thanks in advance for this information, and thank you again for the report.
