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.

Command Line Parameters

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 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.

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

Lacking Features, Problems & Ideas
- Manage the update of keybinding, no need to unbind and rebind if it stays the same as before.

Change Log - QBar

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.

Docnsane 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. __________________ Line - Earthen Ring (EU)

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.

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.

Gsusnme An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 32 File comments: 95 Uploads: 0	Hopefully you are still continuing support for this add-on If so I found an item that QBar doesn't seem to pick up, under the category of "*This is begins a quest*" item being the Murkblood Escape Plans Thanks for this great add-on!

Gsusnme An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 32 File comments: 95 Uploads: 0	I concur, this add-on is FAR superior to Blizz's dinky quest item / quest log thing. I will continue to use this mod until it breaks! Hopefully that never happens =) P.S. Any chance on updating the ButtonFacade support? Buttonfacade's new version broke yours.

Please consider keeping this project going. I'll still continue to use it as long as it works. Thanks for a great addon! __________________

Aezay A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 64 File comments: 460 Uploads: 18	AZMAK Try and go to the normal keybinding options in WoW, and set the hotkey for some random function to the one you use in QBar, so you can override it. I'm not exactly sure why, but sometimes it seems like the hotkeys aren't being properly unbound. __________________ Line - Earthen Ring (EU) Last edited by Aezay : 05-03-2009 at 12:18 PM.

AZMAK A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 22 Uploads: 0	Speaking of broke it just broke on me last night as a matter of fact! All of a sudden it stopped recognizing the keybind. I put D as my bind key and I can click D all day long and it won't work. Also, when you click on an item on the bar, the "D" (in my case) is supposed to switch over to the new item you are using but it's not doing that either. It does work if I click the buttons manually (the "D" doesn't change items still) but, sure would be nice to get it to recognize keybind again. I tried deleting the Addon folder and SavedVariables for it but that didn't work either. Still not doing anything when I click the keybind. Last edited by AZMAK : 05-01-2009 at 12:03 PM.

AZMAK A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 22 Uploads: 0	@Aezay No! No! No! Noooo! lol PLEASE do not stop updating this addon, this addon is still very much needed! Blizzards tracker may very well include quest items but for one thing the item can not be keybinded like QBar's can. Blizzard's item and tracker may be fine and dandy for "one use" items but for items where you have to repeatedly use it, it's a pain. Here is another reason WE NEED Qbar -- I am a right-handed person, I place my quest tracker on the right hand side of my screen and it just so happens to be that the far right is where Blizzard put the item icons also. BUT -- I play with QBar in the lower middle of my screen right above my actionbars --I don't have to move hardly at all to click the item I need on QBar, they are all nicely laid out in a single row and it opens and closes dynamically. I use my mouse to move/run/steer with my right hand, with my left hand I use the keyboard and I click the keybind to use QBar. I cannot move around and do what I have to do and also have to stop -- reach over to far right of screen, mentally look for that item in the tracker, click it, and continue moving using Blizzard's item/tracker. Think of that chicken quest for the Frenzyhearts in Sholazar Basin -- what a pain in the ass that is trying to use Blizzards creation! NO! NO! lol WE NEED QBAR and I hope you do not give up on it. QBar has a purpose and its a good and meaningful purpose and it would be sorely missed if you left. In fact why don't you think of an update right now? Make an update that will allow the players to add their own items to the list (missing items that is). I too, run across stuff from time to time that doesn't appear on QBar when I feel it should, and I would like to be able to add them, for the next time around I do that quest on another alt. Please consider all of us who use this lovely addon and please do not abandon QBar! Thanks and I cross my fingers! Last edited by AZMAK : 04-22-2009 at 04:18 AM.

Blizzard's UI overlooks a LOT of quest items I've found. Also, the key bindings alone are enough for me to keep using this addon. I love the way it auto binds. Converting the bar to an LDB display might make it stand out from the blizz tracker a bit.

I have the same problem. ESC doesn't clear the bind and the bound key is stuck to the first item. It doesn't update if i use another item.
