Blizzard GuildUI Status

Version: 1.7.1

by: Vladinator [More]

Adds the Away/Busy flags to characters in the guild roster. Helps figure out if someone is away or busy before even trying to talk to them!

As a bonus feature you can edit the core.lua file in a text editor and look at the top, you can then force showing the online/offline icons to make the list consistent.

1.7.1:
+ Trying to improve roster updating to show the correct value on the correct column.

1.7:
+ Added compatibility for GuildRosterButtons.

1.6:
+ Updated for MOP, mostly TOC bump.

1.5:
+ Thanks p3lim for pointing out the obvious easier solution. /thumbsup

1.4b:
+ Fixed an error occurring in 4.3.2 because of a change in one of the returned values by the guild roster API.

1.4:
+ Improved performance even further by not creating new variable space in the memory but reusing the old one, cheers.
+ Most likely fixed error reported by Adorawulf, we will find out sooner or later.

1.3:
- Fixed double-space between icon and name.
- Added the option to show icons for online and offline players as well, simply edit core.lua and remove the "--" from the 2nd line in that file. This is the most performance friendly way of doing this, besides the original function of this addon is to provide Away/Busy information in the guild roster so this is a bonus feature.

1.2:
- Made it so it uses text if you have color blind turned on, otherwise it like in 1.1 uses an icon.

1.1:
- Made it show a away/busy icon (from the friend list) in front of the name instead of appending. Also this way it saves space.

1.0:
- Initial release.

Dainton A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 115 File comments: 64 Uploads: 1	Instead of appending the status at the end of their name you could possibly add a small column (sortable preferably, but not necessary if that's too much work) to the very right just wide enough to fit in the friend status icons. Code: FRIENDS_TEXTURE_ONLINE = "Interface\\FriendsFrame\\StatusIcon-Online" FRIENDS_TEXTURE_AFK = "Interface\\FriendsFrame\\StatusIcon-Away" FRIENDS_TEXTURE_DND = "Interface\\FriendsFrame\\StatusIcon-DnD" FRIENDS_TEXTURE_OFFLINE = "Interface\\FriendsFrame\\StatusIcon-Offline" It's just a thought. I think that would look much more elegant, but it's up to you to use it or not.

True, that'd work too.

Fading the character text for dnd, italic text for away are additional ideas.

ALSO, regarding this:

"I know I need to somehow make it so people with long names and that got a flag, that you can see it. So far long names kind of remove the flag since it's appended at the back of their name.."

Just put the flag in front of the name:
<AWAY> Maziel
<BUSY> Maziel
Maziel

No flag for online of course.

Icons will definitely be awesome.

Still waiting on the file to be approved for download.

If we have what checked?

Thanks again for making this addon. I would normally be shocked that blizzard removed this from their gui, but after seeing what they did with the character frame, nothing shocks me now.

I wanted to do it like this since the icons are red and orange and they are small, thus if you are colorblind I think you would prefer the text version. Also colorblind varies from person to person so this is playing it safe. 1.2 should be up soon I hope. Last edited by Vlad : 10-27-10 at 11:57 AM.

Ah indeed, perfect. You have thought of everything.

Good job, well done!

There are two sides to this, one the afk/dnd flags rarely show up and it's nice to save space by hiding them when they are not needed. On the other side having the icons for all members makes the list look consistent yet some may find it unnecessary and waste of space.

Just for you in 1.3 I added the option of turning this on and off, just edit core.lua in your favorite text editor and remove the "--" from the 2nd line in the file. That way it will show the online/offline icons as well.

Ailae A Rage Talon Dragon Guard Forum posts: 318 File comments: 75 Uploads: 9	Very nice! However, it's not updating the different fields correctly if you switch between views (when going from Guild Status to Player Status you for example get the players Name in the Lvl-field). I suppose the hooking of GuildRosterViewDropdown_OnClick doesn't provide the new value of the CVar in time for when the update goes off. You can however add another hook, GuildRoster_SetView (which basically is what the dropdown _OnClick calls after it calls the update), and in your hook set the CVar, then it looks like will work properly. lua Code: local function mySetView(self, ...) SetCVar("guildRosterView", self.value) end hooksecurefunc("GuildRoster_SetView", mySetView) You still need the other hooks though. __________________ Oh, the simulated horror!

Vlad A Molten Giant Forum posts: 793 File comments: 337 Uploads: 31	Hmm, actually Ailae I believe that's a Blizzard issue. I don't know but changing between without the addon also bugs out and sometimes I gotta close and open the roster just to properly update it. I think it's because they set the CVar after calling the update function (i.e. it updates the wrong columns). I mean I could fix it for Blizzard but as I do not have Cataclysm access in the near future (once beta ends) I can't fix it back lol. :P It's nice you at least put the hotfix here, those that want can put that in the end of the code to correct the problem.

Thanks for the report! I have uploaded a updated addon and hopefully even improved it a bit, try it and tell me if it now works.
