Quick Broker Question

[blademage727]

Okay, since in the latest FuBar's change logs it says:

r30 | arrowmaster | 2009-12-10 10:01:58 +0000 (Thu, 10 Dec 2009) | 3 lines Changed paths: M /trunk/FuBar.lua frame:GetFrameType() => frame:GetObjectType() Somebody better be padding my (not ckknight's) PayPal account for this since FuBar is DEAD!

I was thinking I should just get a LDB-compatible panel addon (I already have Broker2Fu, but just in case FuBar completely stops working soon...). I just wanted to ask which ones people tend to like using the most as well as ones which are supported by nUI... Any suggestions?

There's a list of some display addons here: http://wiki.github.com/tekkub/libdat...dons-using-ldb

My personal favorite is, and always has been, Titan Panel. It supports LDB natively.

ChocolateBar seems good There's a Fubar2Broker addon too that will take Fubar only displays and make Broker data feeds.

Ive been using Bazooka for awhile know Koddewolf was kind enough to write a plug in for nUI so they work together. It's nice cause you can create different sized bars to place wherever you want. You can see in the screenshots below Ive got 5 set up on mine 3 up in nui's console and 2 below the buff windows

This one has my vote as the closest replacement to Fubar I could find. It's also the one that helped me to finally fully switch to DataBroker plugins when I did

[Marthisdil]

I have Bazooka installed as well as the nui_Bazooka plugin that Kodewulf did.

However, I cannot get the nUi top console bar to shift down to make room for 2 full sized bars up at the top.

Anyone have any ideas?

I think Kodewulf said in another post that he pretty much rigged up the plugin so there was something workable to use. I believe he suggested a bar at the top and a bar at the bottom so perhaps the two bar at the top hasn't been worked into things.

The way that the integration plug works at the moment is that it attaches the nUI frames to the LAST bar. If you have 3 top bars the bar with the highest number will be used as an anchor. The same applies to having 2 bottom bars.

If you create them in order, ie. bar#1, bar#2, bar#3 for top and bar#4, bar#5 for bottom you shouldn't even notice this. Lol. It happens when you're changing the order of the bars. For instance from the top would be:

BAR#1
BAR#3
BAR#2

nUI attaches to BAR#3 at the top, so BAR#2 won't have space. For the bottom:

BAR#4
BAR#5

will cause nUI to only make space for BAR#5.

Hope that makes sense.

Here's what I see. This is, again, with the nUI_Bazooka plugin by Kodewulf, and the latest version of Bazooka (from wowace):

This image is right after login on one of my auction mules - just the single bar at the top.


Next, I go to the addon settings and create a new bar:


After creating the new bar (which automatically loads at the bottom of the screen, overlapping the bottom of the bottom nUI panel, I go to Bar #2's settings tab, tell it to attach to "none" and move it up to the top and align with Bar #1:


I reload my UI and you can see in the image, the nUI top panel doesn't move down - Bar #2 is below Bar #1 and overlaying the nUI top panel.

Edit: If I tell Bar #2 to attach to top, it disappears (or Disappears behind Bar #1)

If I'm missing something at adding new bars, please let me know what I'm doing wrong

Thanks for any help!
