KeepingTabs

Version: 1.5

by: Seerah [More]

NOTE: in WoD, the dungeons/raid/pvp windows were merged together into one tabbed window. This removes the need for KeepingTabs for these windows, and this functionality has been removed. The original functionality of KeepingTabs, to combine the friends and social windows, is still intact.

KeepingTabs gives you an easy way to keep tabs on all that is important to you. By adding tabs to the sides of certain frames, it is easier to keep tabs on your friends and guild as well as on your dungeons, raids and pvp. This allows you to use just one keybind for friends/guild and one keybind for dungeons/raid/pvp. It also makes it easier to switch between these (no longer separated) windows.

By default, the new tab for the guild frame opens to the first tab - news and events. If you prefer it to open to the second tab for the roster instead, you may open up KT_Social.lua in any text editor, find this at the very top

Code:

--Open directly to the Guild Roster tab 
--when switching to the guild frame
local roster = false
------------------------

and change it to true.

The guild tab should act like the guild perks tab in your spellbook and the top-left circle of the Guild UI, where the icon changes to your guild tabard.

v.1.5
- updated for WoD
- back to original purpose, with only tabs for friends/guild windows (since LFG, PVP, and RAIDS are grouped together now)

v.1.4.2
- cleaner access of PVP frame
- updated TOC for 5.4

v.1.4.1
- update TOC for 5.2
- update for renaming of pvp frame

v.1.4
- updated for MoP changes to dungeon/raid finder

v.1.3.1
- sorry folks, removed the debug print statements I had left in ><

v.1.3
- updated all icons to be square ones (a couple have changed appearance)
- added the PVP frame to the LFG and LFR tab set

v.1.2
- added support for Dungeon and Raid Finders!
- renamed KeepingTabs.lua to KT_Social.lua

v.1.1
- update TOC for 4.3
- fix tab placement on friends frame (Blizz changed the frame so now the tabs require same x,y coordinates that the guld frame had - imagine that!)

v.1.0
- updated TOC number

v. 0.4
- fixed tabs overlapping the Raid Info panel

v. 0.3
- only create tabs once!

v. 0.2
- code updates/organization

Hello there. nice update you have with the loot finder and grp finder tabs. but this update did not like my other tab addon Tabbed Dungeon Browser. so for now i will be removing the pve tabs. But if you could add a battleground tab to the raid finder and the dungeon finder then this then would be the perfect addon as and i would remove TDB cos then i have 1 addon that does both tasks link to tdb just incase of something http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/rbtabbed-browser Last edited by wagg1 : 03-11-12 at 06:00 AM.

A few frames that use these templates are the LFG/LFR, TradeSkill, Talents, PvP Frame, Character Frame, Spell Book and more that I'm to tired to look up/remember.

Thanks for the explanation!

Blizz must have changed the friends frame or something so that it's now the same as the guild frame. I have no clue why they required different x,y offsets before, but now they're the same. __________________ "You'd be surprised how many people violate this simple principle every day of their lives and try to fit square pegs into round holes, ignoring the clear reality that Things Are As They Are." -Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

If you already know about this fix then nps. just telling you know they are peeps out there that use this and would like it to be updated to work with p4.3 officially Cheers for this problem solving addon

Understood.

Currently I have found another addon that adds a lot more tabs to the bottom from both Social and Friends windows called PutGuildBack.

Between PutGuildBack and the other Guild Professions tabs, I no longer really need KeepingTabs.

It is of course an awesome addon, but after switching I found myself no longer really using the two tabs from KeepingTabs.

The only others I added to complete my Guild/Social/Friends window was the Guild AFK/DND status icon and the Guild Roster Tooltip.

All these complete the mods I have running for the Guild/Social Window.

I've posted on that addon what is the problem and why KeepingTabs can't draw its own buttons. (or other addons that would like to attach frames to the GuildFrame). I'm sure Maldivia will fix it soon, that way or an equivalent/better one. I would also like to keep both addons functioning and I think Guild Professions buttons can't be shrunk more or be relocated. (there's just too many of them to move them to top or bottom) I toyed around with various ideas for an hour and came up with this "proof of concept" 1. Adding savedvariables to KeepingTabs.toc Code: ## SavedVariablesPerCharacter: KeepingTabsPC 2. Adding a slash command /keepingtabs anchor and patch the main file thus: http://www.pastey.net/142023 3. Result: User can do /keepingtabs anchor to toggle between bottom-anchored tabs / side-anchored buttons. Currently it will do a reload to apply because I didn't create separate buttons for each anchoring, but it's possible to create more and swap between the 2 sets 'on the fly' (hiding one set and showing the other)

Maziel A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 18 File comments: 152 Uploads: 7	Guild Professions compatibility Currently if I use your addon and Guild Prof Tabs addon: http://www.wowinterface.com/download...18454#comments The other addon removes your tabs from the guild window. I was wondering if there was a way that your addon could do a couple of things. One, detect if Guild Professions addon is installed, and if so, then position them below yours and resize to fit. I have messed around with Guild Professions to get them smaller and sit below where your tabs should be, but some how this addon removes your tabs. In Guild Professions addon I changed their button scale (button:SetScale(0.60)) and positioned it (button:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", GuildFrame, "TOPRIGHT", 0, -240)) All I need to be able to do now is tell it to turn your tabs back on then I can have the best of both worlds =D

In the KeepingTabs.lua file at line 64 add the code:

f.nst:SetFrameStrata("LOW")

and at line 70 add the code:

f.ngt:SetFrameStrata("LOW")

Save and reload. That should fix the Raid Info pane over lapping.
