Daily To-Do's


What does Daily To-Do's do?
Daily To-Do's is an addon designed to keep of the many dailies you may be completing across many characters and/or factions. It is an easy way to make sure you are always doing all your daily objectives, whether profession, reputation or other daily repeatable objectives.

Instructions:
Open by typing the slash command, /dtd, or by using the minimap icon. Daily To-Do's is an addon designed to help keep track of the daily objectives you need to complete. I originally created this addon as a tool to help myself remember to do all my daily quests and heroic runs.

WoW Insider:
Daily To-Do's was recently featured on WoW Insider.

• More memory use reduction
• Improved tracking for certain dailies. (Such as Tol Barad)
• The ability to track the farming of heroic instances
• Changes to deal with new dailies and mechanics in 4.1

Don't put yourself through the needless work of localizing the quest names - you can get the localized version directly from the WoW client itself. Here's a memoizing table I wrote for Ackis Recipe List:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Memoizing table for quest names.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
private.quest_names = _G.setmetatable({}, {
	__index = function(t, id_num)
			  _G.GameTooltip:SetOwner(_G.UIParent, _G.ANCHOR_NONE)
			  _G.GameTooltip:SetHyperlink(("quest:%s"):format(_G.tostring(id_num)))

			  local quest_name = _G["GameTooltipTextLeft1"]:GetText()
			  _G.GameTooltip:Hide()

			  if not quest_name then
				  return _G.UNKNOWN
			  end
			  t[id_num] = quest_name
			  return quest_name
		  end,
})

It works like this: You perform a table lookup using the quest ID. In the case of "Wanted: The Heart of Quagmirran", you would do this:

local quest_name = private.quest_names[11368]

The first time the ID is looked up, it will of course not exist in the data table - the table's metatable will then call a function which will set a GameTooltip hyperlink using the quest ID and extract the (now localized) name from the tooltip, store it in the table, and return the quest name or the localized version of "Unknown" if the ID has no match. All subsequent lookups using that ID will be a normal table lookup.

It's very neat to use a GameTooltip for getting the localized quest names

But while on the subject, although a bit off-topic, I'm looking for a way to also get the Quest Level (which colors the quest compared to the player's level). Because without it the quest link isnt a proper hyperlink and can't be linked to chat ..

The only functions/ways I've found so far only work for quests which are in the Quest Log

/run SendChatMessage("\124cffffff00\124Hquest:123:10\124h[The Collector]\124h\124r") -- works
/run SendChatMessage("\124cffffff00\124Hquest:123\124h[The Collector]\124h\124r") -- doesn't work

-- Edit: oh, and sorry for asking this in a released addon thread

Ooh, very nice. Thank you so much Torhal.
I've already implemented this, and once I can figure out the repository, it should be uploaded.

As for Ketho, I really don't know.

More updates and stuff.
Moved all my Curse stuff to a repository, but not sure if WoWInterface supports external repositories.
Couldn't find anything for it, and manually creating a zip from my Curse repository is bugging me.

When you tag a new release in your CurseForge repo, the packager automatically generates the zip file - just download it and upload it here...that's what I do

Yeah, that's what I do right now.
It just feels kinda weird, but oh well, I guess.
