TidyMinimap 0.4

TidyMinimap Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

TidyMinimap is a small addon that will tidy your minimap by moving all the custom buttons into it's own frame. I wrote this addon because I wanted similar functionality as FuBar plugins but without FuBar.

There is no in-game configuration, all settings are in the Settings.lua file to keep it simple.

There is a slash command (/tidy) that gives you the name of the minimap button you're currently hovering with your mouse. Use this to add buttons that are not automatically picked up to the Settings.lua.

When upgrading, don't overwrite Settings.lua if you want to keep your old settings.

Workaround for the CT minimap buttons (thanks to woowoowoo):
Edit the CT_Core\CT_Core.lua file and change line 112 from:
minimapFrame = module:getFrame(minimapFrameSkeleton);
to
minimapFrame = module:getFrame(minimapFrameSkeleton, nil, "CTMod2_MinimapButton");

Once you changed that, just add ['CTMod2_MinimapButton'] = true, to your settings.

Change Log - TidyMinimap

0.6 (2008-11-11):
- Fixed bug introduced in 0.5.
- Added slash commands suggested by Spellshaper:

scan: Force TidyMinimap to look for minimap buttons
name: Prints the name of the frame you're currently hovering

Use with '/tidy command'.
If no command is specified it defaults to the 'name' command.

0.5 (2008-11-10):
- Updated TOC for patch 3.0.
- Improved button scanning once again.

0.4 (2008-07-20):
- Updated with fixes for patch 2.4.3.
- Hiding borders are now optional, defaults to false.

0.3 (2007-07-22):
- Rewrote most of the code to make it easier to read and more
efficient.

- Should pick up more buttons. Though, still haven't figured out
a way to pick up the CT addon buttons. They are technically not
minimap buttons (doesn't have the minimap set as their parent).

- Now supports minimap buttons created by addons loaded on demand.

- Moved the frame to bottom of the minimap and turned off nudge in
the default settings.

0.2 (2007-06-22):
- Split the config from the main file (when upgrading, make backup
from the old file if you're not using default settings).

- Added a slash command. Type /tidy when hovering a minimap button
that is not moved correctly, it will display it's name to be put
into the config file.

0.1 (2007-06-18):
- First release.

Optional Files - TidyMinimap

Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.

Edit My settings:
layout = {
pos = 'CENTER#UIParent#BOTTOM#-50#60',
anchor = 'topright',
grow = 'left',
scale = 0.9,
borders = true,
},

Somehow the x-position seems to change on its own (like 50 px, dunno if it's because some button disappears or appears, though I can't see why any would do that without changing the settings and within the same session). Any idea what's up with that?

same problem here >.< the buttons move left and i have no idea why its happening =(

If he's still active (which I hope) and just doesn't want to update TidyMinimap, I told him I'd be glad to update it. If he doesn't answer... I have to assume he left WoW.. which then means there will be a fanupdate. __________________ "We shaman don't command the magic we wield.

I think I fixed the problem with the repositioning...
Sometimes, directly after logging in, TidyMinimap would gather up all minimap buttons, but some would not be repositioned until a ui reload.

Open TidyMinimap.lua and scroll to the very end, you should see a line like this:

Code:

self:RegisterEvent'ADDON_LOADED'

Press enter to insert a new line, and type:

Code:

self:RegisterEvent'PLAYER_LOGIN'

Worked for me. Feedback?

tattooedpierre An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 36 File comments: 87 Uploads: 4	In settings.lua add an entry to ignore the new ClockUI: '['TimeManagerClockButton'] = true, .. under the section to ignore things (like Mail and BG indicator). For me, this fixed the 2.4.3 errors I got. Also, someone had said earlier about using a script to identify buttons.. you dont need to do this. The addon has a built-in slash command '/tidy' to identify buttons you're hovering over. Last edited by tattooedpierre : 07-16-2008 at 07:14 AM.
