Tabbed Dungeon Browser (tabDB)

Version: 2.5a

by: DefectiveUser [More]

Updated for 4.3

What is it?
I love the new cross-realm Dungeon Finder and Raid Browser, but I can’t understand why Blizzard decided to keep these features completely separated despite their obvious synergy. This small add-on attempts to fix this by combining the Dungeon Finder and the Raid Browser into a single window with tabs on the right hand side to switch between them. This results in easy access to the Raid Browser through the menu bar micro buttons.

More Details
The add-on will remember which of the two windows you last had open and will reopen it for you the next time you invoke the Dungeon Finder or Raid Browser. You can open them through any of Blizzard’s default methods, including the menu bar micro buttons, slash commands or the button in the raid tab of the social window. Note: If you do invoke it through the raid tab of the social window, the add-on will assume you wanted to open the Raid Browser specifically and will always open the Raid Browser regardless of the last window opened.

New in 2.0a
Thanks to user suggestions I’ve updated TabDB to include the Battlegrounds as well. Now you can easily tab between Raids, Dungeons and Battlegrounds to see what’s going on in each. Please check the change log for other updates.

Sadly I don't understand the changes well enough to offer up a solution. __________________ Epiria, level 100 Ret/Holy Paladin Simkin level 100 Combat Rogue Feldeemus, level 100 Arcane Mage

I understand real life commitments, but it's been 10 months since the last post.

DefectiveUser A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 19 Uploads: 1	Some work I've started on a companion library to libTab that extends it's functionality to make this work. Unfortunately I've been busy this past few weeks with work commitments and I'm about to start a two week vacation that will leave little time for working on the add-on, but don't worry it will come! Thanks to everyone for the incredible support of TabDB, all the feedback and suggestions are great! Last edited by DefectiveUser : 01-15-10 at 11:02 PM.

Um, it shouldn't. The add-ons completely self contained and should not be affecting TradeTabs. I'm out at the moment so can't look at TradeTabs to see what's going on, will check it out as soon as I can though. Has anyone else had an issue with TabDB and TradeTabs?

UPDATE: I Just tested this with TradeTabs and both add-ons coexist perfectly on my system. I had a quick look through TradeTabs code and see no reason why either should be affecting the other. Did you install/update other add-ons at the same time as TabDB and/or TradeTabs?

DefectiveUser A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 19 Uploads: 1	I apologize to everyone for not catching this but I introduced a bug in 2.0a1. In my rush to fix a test variable in 2.0a, I released 2.0a1 without updating all references to it. This creates a nul LAU error when you click 'Open Raid Browser' from the Raid frame of the Social interface. I've got 2.0a2 uploaded and pending approval which has this fixed. Thanks to Awbee for catching it! Last edited by DefectiveUser : 12-24-09 at 07:01 PM.
