Group Calendar

[simonharding]

My main reason for trying out nUI was to clean up my interface and have a larger game screen area...and that certainly seems to be the case.
The other reason was to minimise the number of clicks required to bring up the info you want - eg: Recount/Omen etc.

Whilst the Button Bag is handy in keeping all those pesky mini map shortcut links to add ons tucked away in one safe place, sometimes there are add on buttons you want to have access to all the time - but without having them all cluttered about.

One example of this is Group Calendar. If you are not familiar with this add on, it is similar to GEM (Guild Event Manager) but better in my opinion. Without nUI installed the add on replaces the Blizzard Calendar Icon and clicking opens up the add ons calendar screen. It also glows around the edges of the Icon when there is a new event set up.
Obviously with nUI installed you cant see this unless the button bag is open.
Currently I have a Macro button set up to access GC whenever I wish, without opening the button bag, but this doesnt solve the New Event Indicator problem.

So, I wondered whether it could be possible for the Bag Bar to have a couple of boxes so that add on mini map buttons could be permanently assigned - a bit like the action bars. You would still keep the majority hidden away in the Button Bag, but you might want a couple on the bar for easy access.

You could also adjust the nUI_ButtonBag.lua file to exculde button bag control of your addon's button.

This is the default code for the section that you could change to suit:

local ButtonBagConfig = 
{	
	-- transient minimap buttons we want on the top row
	
	TopRow =
	{
		["MiniMapMeetingStoneFrame"] = 1,
		["MiniMapVoiceChatFrame"] = 1,
		["MiniMapRecordingButton"] = 1,
	},
	
	-- buttons we want to force ignore of
	
	Excludes = 
	{		
		["MiniMapMailFrame"] = 1,
		["MiniMapBattlefieldFrame"] = 1,
		["MinimapBackdrop"] = 1,
		["MiniMapPing"] = 1,
		["MiniMapCompassRing"] = 1,
		["MinimapZoomIn"] = 1,
		["MinimapZoomOut"] = 1,
		["MiniMapTracking"] = 1,
		["MiniMapWorldMapButton"] = 1,
		["GatherMiniNoteUpdateFrame"] = 1,
		["TimeManagerClockButton"] = 1,
		["FishingBuddyMinimapMenuButton"] = 1,
	},	
	
	-- buttons we want to force inclusion of
	
	Includes = 
	{		
		["WIM_IconFrame"] = 1,
		["CTMod2_MinimapButton"] = 1,
		["PoisonerMinimapButton"] = 1,
		["GameTimeFrame"] = 1,
		["MobMapMinimapButtonFrame"] = 1,
		["BaudGearMinimapButton"] = 1,
	},
	
	-- button name patterns to be excluded (mostly Minimap POI's)
	
	ExcludePatterns =
	{
		[1] = "GatherNote.",
		[2] = "CartographerNotes.",
		[3] = "GatherMatePin.",
		[4] = "FishingExtravaganza.",
		[5] = "RecipeRadarMinimapIcon.",
	},
	
	-- for a table of unnamed buttons we have to locate by object instance
	
	Unnamed =
	{
	},
	
	-- fixed button sizes for buttons that misreport their width (for scaling)
	
	ButtonSize =
	{
		["Enchantrix"] = 36,
		["FeedbackUIButton"] = 31,
	},
};

Come to think of it we could sort out the WIM animation problem by excluding that button as well. But anyways, I suspect including the respective variable in the exclude list you could get what you want.

Have I ever mentioned I love you?
Thanks for finding this. The lack of my flashing calender button on new events was driving me a bit nuts.

For anyone that uses fubar or titan or any other LDB bar there are quite a few that represent your calander so you can see new events and such. One is LDB events and another I believe is sidekick
