MageButtons (Classic)  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.16
by: Moxey [More]

MageButtons
- Purpose: Adds "menu" buttons for mage spell categories: water, food, teleports, portals, mana gems, polymorph

WOTLK NOTE: If "Show all spell ranks" is not checked in your spellbook, tooltips of lower ranks will only display the spell name.
CATA NOTE: You can now drag/drop portal and teleport menus from you spellbook onto your action bars.

Features
- Consolidates spells into collapsible buttons to save bar space (like modern teleports/portals buttons)
- Horizontal or Vertical layouts
- Menu direction left/right/up/down
- Customizable button size, padding, background color, border
- Can specify button order
- Buttons can be keybound via standard bindings page (under Addons)

Other
- First time loading it will default to a set button order, need to go into Options and actually set them for them to save (will say "not set")

Known issues / TODO:
- Keybindings are wonky, probably because I'm doing something wrong, but they mostly work?
- Need to reload UI when new spells are learned from trainer so the addon will pick them up
- Not sure if the Polymorph button is worth it, was thinking it would be nice to easily switch from Sheep to Turtle to Pig

1.16 - ToC bump for Cata, increased started delay yet again
1.15 - Updated for Season of Discovery
1.14 - ToC bump for 30403
1.13 - Disabled backdrop colors for new API compatibility
1.12 - Fixed error when summon Water Elemental in combat (but disables button order showing in options)
1.11 - Fixed some incorrect WotLK spells and added more
1.10 - Added WotLK spells, finally added required levels option for food and water
1.04 - Hopefully fixed startup error
1.03 - Increased startup delay
1.02 - Updated with TBC spells
1.01 - Set menu button strata to HIGH, updated usage
1.00 - Added mouseover option, minimap icon will now default to on
0.99 - Fix to minimap button, slash commands
0.99 - Largely rewritten, most settings changes should now occur without needing to reload
0.90 - Added check to config file to not load if character isn't a mage

Question Location reverting back to default

I love this addon! I'm having an issue where every time I log in or /reloadui the button location goes back to the default location instead of where I moved it. Is there a way to fix this?

Another thing has come up for me, I can't change the spell over Questie's quest tracker because when the mouse touches the tracker between the spell icons, it closes the list. Is it possible to make the space between the icons still count as MageButtons addons space so it doesn't close?

I thought I had this fixed in the beta, are you having trouble with other settings saving? Are you on the latest version?

If using the mouseover option, make sure the Background Frame Padding is at least 1/2 of the Button Padding. I can look into creating an invisible frame that goes behind all the buttons for a future release.

I have the same issue. No settings are saved between sessions. This is with the latest version downloaded form here.

So far, its just the location changing back to default, my spell order preference is always the same, but beyond that I haven't changed many other settings that I can remember. Yes, most recent version is installed from this site.

I think this is happening because the Background Frame Padding is drawing BEHIND Questie's quest tracker. It needs to be drawn in front of other addons.

I've confirmed the issue as described below and fixed it by simply adding
buttonBackdrop:SetFrameStrata("HIGH")
below line 707 in the main Lua file.

I love this addon but it keeps resetting to its default position when I reload or log out and back in.
I see others have posted this but seems like it has not been fixed

Found a solution for resetting position

The solution that found for the constantly resetting position was:
On line 35 change it to:
Code:
MageButtonsDB = MageButtonsDB or {}
Starting on line 36, Comment out all of this
Code:
if MageButtonsDB == nil then
	MageButtonsDB["position"] = {}
	MageButtonsDB["water"] = {}
	MageButtonsDB["food"] = {}
	MageButtonsDB["teleport"] = {}
	MageButtonsDB["portal"] = {}
	MageButtonsDB["managem"] = {}
	MageButtonsDB["ai"] = {}
end
I haven't tested this in the TBC version, but things look more or less the same, so it'll probably work the same.

Other issues that I noticed but haven't attempted to fix (because they are less important)
- Lock/unlock functionality is inconsistent at best
- Position only saved when re-locked
- Cmd "lock" doesn't work although it should.
- Help command doesn't list all the commands consistently

Sometimes, I don't know why, it just wont load. When I start the game and load to my mage main character - no addon in the list. But after I type /reload - it apper in same place as was and work perfect. My again, sometimes after reloging or coming back from another an alt, it not load until i type /reload
It just a random thing. For today was 3 times in like 30 characters swaping. Can it be fix for somehow?

Thanks for updating this to TBC! I find this addon essential and irreplaceable for the convenience it provides.

There's a few bugs remaining though, hopefully you are still working on things:
  • The frame backdrop strata still isn't set to high. Under line 676 should be buttonBackdrop:SetFrameStrata("HIGH")
  • As mentioned by endymon below, the placement of the bar is not being remembered. His fix did not work for me either.
  • As mentioned by Himitsu1990 below as well, the bar will not load when the game first launches. It requires a /reload to draw the bar after loading the game the first time.

I really hope you keep improving this addon.
