QBar - Quest Item Button Bar
Ever been questing and had to find all those usable quest items in your bags all the time, then this addon is for you. No longer will you have to keep your bags open to do daily bombing quests!

This addon will automatically create a dynamic buttonbar for all those usable quest items, it also checks if your equipped gear for usable quest items.

If you do not wish to show a certain item on QBar, you can ignore it by holding down Shift and clicking on it.

Button Facade Support
Officially there is no support for button facade, but someone has been kind enough to code one for QBar. You can find it here:
QBar ButtonFacade (Fan Update)

Command Line Parameters

/qb toggle
Toggles QBar being enabled or not.

/qb scale <value>
Sets the scale of the buttons, default is 1.

/qb size <value>
Sets the unit size of the buttons, default is 36.

/qb padding <value>
Configures the padding between the buttons, default is 1.

/qb tips
Determines if item tips are shown when you move your mouse over the buttons.

/qb vertical
Toggles between horizontal and vertical button bar.

/qb mirror
Changes the anchor direction, top/bottom or left/right, depending on the vertical setting.

/qb lock
Toggles the button frame being locked, use this command to move the buttons around.

/qb clearignore
Clears the ignore list, and shows all items again. You can shift click an item to ignore it.

/qb bind
Use this command to set the key binding for the last item used, this is vital for all the dailies.

Lacking Features, Problems & Ideas
- Fix some bug with rebinding the "use last item" key.
- Manage the update of keybinding, no need to unbind and rebind if it stays the same as before.
  Change Log - QBar
QBar Changes | 2010 Feb 27
- Changed the TOC version to 30300 for the 3.3 patch.
- Removed global pollution of the name "button".
- Items which starts a quest should now be detected better.

QBar Changes | 2009 Mar 08
- Added a mirrored anchor direction option, use the slash command "/qb mirror" to toggle it.
- You can now set the unit size of the item buttons using the command "/qb size <value>", default is 36. This option is not new, I had previously removed it when I added the scaling option.
- The item tooltip is now a little more intelligent and should not block the buttons any longer, no matter what corner of the screen you put QBar.
- Zone items should now properly update after you re-enter an instance from a corpse run.
- Did a little code cleanup.

QBar Changes | 2009 Feb 20
- Usable zone items will now be shown on the bar. An example would be the flying drake's essence in The Oculus instance.
- Some items which starts a quest are now included onto the bar.
- If only one item is shown, the assigned hotkey will automatically become bound.
- Since some quest items are not marked as being so by WoW, I've added a custom table that forces any itemid in it, to be included no matter what. So if you find a quest item that isn't shown, please let me know which one it is, and I will add it to this list for the following releases.

QBar Changes | 2008 Nov 09
- Changed the TOC version to 30000 for the Wrath of the Lich King patch.
- Settings are now saved per character.
- The ignore list is now remembered between sessions.
- Fixed the "/qb toggle" slash command.

QBar Changes | 2008 May 01
- Added an "update throttle" to avoid lag when receiving several events at the same time.
- New slash command to lock and unlock the button frame. The border which used to show before is now only visible when unlocked. Use "/qb lock" to toggle the lock.
- You can now link items into chat as well as trying out the item in the dress up frame by using the normal modifier keys for those actions.
- Added back the "UNIT_INVENTORY_CHANGED" event, otherwise equipable items would not get removed from the button bar when you completed or abandoned the quest.
- Previously, not all quest items got included on the bar, this was due to some items not having the text "Quest Item" in the tooltip. Now it should properly include all items as one would expect.

QBar Changes | 2008 Apr 12
- I've renamed the addon to "QBar" as I like that better than "QButtons".
- Removed the size slash command "/qb size <value>" in favor of a scaling option using the command "/qb scale <value>".
- Added a padding option to set how much space there should be between buttons, use "/qb padding <value>" to set.
- You can now set a hotkey to the last item that was used. Use the slash command "/qb bind" to set the key binding.
- The buttons should now properly update when you leave combat.
- Fixed a bug where the cooldown frames could be shown on the wrong button if some of the objects on the bar changed position.
- Shift clicking an item now ignores it for the reminder of the session. Use the command "/qb clearignore" to show all ignored items again.
- Removed the "UNIT_INVENTORY_CHANGED" event, not needed as all gear change invoke "BAG_UPDATE" anyway.
- Changed frame strata to medium to allow other frames to show above it.

QButtons Changes | 2008 Apr 09
- Should now work on localised versions of WoW, let me know if I am wrong.
- Added cooldown frames to the buttons.
- New slash command to change the size of the buttons, use "/qb size <value>" to do so.
- You can now turn off tips showing on button mouseover with the slash command "/qb tips".
- There is now an option to turn the bar growth to vertical, instead of the normal horizontal, use the command "/qb vertical" to toggle.

QButtons Changes | 2008 Apr 06
- First Release.

I've never used ButtonFacade myself, so I'm afraid I cannot be of any help.

Do you have any knowledge on how to edit QBar ButtonFacade? The Shadow skin doesn't seem to be saving settings... It goes to a weird defaulted gray every time I log in o.O

This addon was made a long time before Blizzard added the quest buttons in the quest tracker, and I have no plans on removing those.

I'm not exactly sure how that is done using securebuttons, and it's not something I can start tinkering with now, as I no longer has access to WoW.

Politig
Nope, this addon is purely for questitems, I'm sure there are some other addons that allows you to put any item on a quick bar.
Previous statement is not entirely correct, as you can actually add items to the bar, but its not really worth mentioning, as it requires you to add the itemId to the "qItems" table in the "QBar\core.lua" file.

Any chance for a display option to have the bar popout of one button? Similar to Autobar, where only one button is shown and the others are displayed on mouseover. Keeps it tidy.

Unfortunately, this is the only addon in which I've added keybindings, so I guess I never really learned the full features of custom keybindings in WoW. But at the time which I added this, it was working flawlessly, but then after a patch, it became hard to change the keybinding, and I never figured out what caused it, before I quit. So now it is of course impossible for me to test this out and fix it, and I would require someone to give me a hint on how to make this work again.

Any luck so far with fixing the binding? Was trying to poke a couple things in the .lua but no luck on my side. =/

You can ignore an item by shift clicking an item.

Interesting, I wonder how I should change the code to fix this issue. I remember this was one of the things I looked into last I worked on QBar. But unfortunately I have little experience with hotkeys and such in WoW.

I had this issue for a while, and I finally just sat down and tried to fix it.

The issue is that bliz renamed the callback a little bit such that QBar won't rebind the button when you use a new item since it can't clear the old bind on it's own. You need to manually do it.

Code:
/script SetBinding("SHIFT-Q");
/script SaveBindings(GetcurrentBindingSet());
/qb bind
Replace "SHIFT-Q" with whatever your binding is. This will manually unbind that key, and then you can rebind it again. QBar will now be able to unbind and rebind it on it's own.

Well, I guess I'm the only one who comments anymore? :P
Anyway, would it be possible to remove the "Fate Rune" items you get from the repeatable turn-in's of Vyrkul bones? When you have a bunch of the Fate Runes in your inventory and they reside on the Qbar is REALLY annoying.

Thanks in advance! I hope you're still among the living.
