Broker LFG  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 7.3.5.0
by: Phanx [More]

I am no longer developing or maintaining World of Warcraft addons. I haven't played in years, and don't have the time or interest to continue working on addons for a game I don't play anymore. If you are an addon author interested in continuing one of my addons, please see https://phanx.net/addons/. If you are an addon user, sorry, but there won't be any more fixes or updates from me.
Basic LFG button for your DataBroker display.
  • Click to open the Dungeon Finder.
  • Right-Click to open the PVP window.
  • Middle-Click, or Shift-Click, to open the Pet Journal.
  • Alt-Click to open the Raid Finder.
  • Ctrl-Click to open the Scenarios window.
While you are queued, or in an LFG/LFR group, battleground, or scenario, right-click opens the menu instead, and you can use Shift-Right-Click to open the PVP window.
Known Issues
Due to Blizzard restrictions, you will not be able to leave battleground queues while using this addon, except by waiting until the queue pops and clicking the Decline button on the dialog. I have no ETA on a resolution, so don't bother asking, unless you are a Blizzard developer with a solid ETA on when you are going to allow addons to leave battleground queues in response to a hardware event and/or fix your oversensitive dropdown menu system.
Feedback
Post a comment. Please note that I consider this addon to be complete, and will probably not add any new features.

If you are posting about a problem, please include the name of your DataBroker display addon, and the actual error message.
Language Support
Works in all locales. Translated into English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, Português, Русский, 한국어, 简体中文, and 正體中文.

To add or update translations for any locale, enter them on the Broker LFG localization page on CurseForge, and then send me a PM here or on CurseForge to let me know that you’ve made changes. If you don’t have a Curse account and don’t want to create one, you can PM me your translations instead. Thanks!

If you're still getting that PlaySound error, you need to update your addons. That was fixed quite a while ago. I even manually downloaded the latest ZIP file (7.3.5.0) from this very page and verified its contents.

The error blames line 159 in Addon.lua. In the current version of the addon, that reads:
Code:
PlaySound(SOUNDKIT.IG_MAINMENU_OPEN)
You can verify that this works by running it in-game yourself:
Code:
/run PlaySound(SOUNDKIT.IG_MAINMENU_OPEN)
There are no other uses of "PlaySound" in the file.

If you think you already updated, but are still getting this error, your update process is not working.

There will be a "TOC bump" update at some point to tell WoW the addon isn't "out of date", but it's not a high priority when other addons are actually broken. As far as I can tell, the current 7.3.5.0 version of the addon still works just fine.

Adding custom group tooltip with pending applicants

Hey Phanx,

great addon, but the one thing that I'm missing in comparison to the original LFG icon in wow, is that your tooltip/addon doesnt show the pending applicants when you make your own custom group.

Is it possible for you to implement this? Right now, Im kinda forced to use the original LFG icon from blizzard because of this

That's addressed in the addon description:
Known Issues

Due to Blizzard restrictions, you will not be able to leave battleground queues while using this addon. I have no ETA on a resolution.
There will be no solution until Blizzard changes the API and/or fixes their dropdown menu system. In the meantime, I could suppress the error message, or I could write an entire custom dropdown menu system from scratch that doesn't include the "Leave Queue" function, but neither of those would actually solve the problem.

Either way, you can't leave the queue, because the only way to leave the queue is by using the Blizzard dropdown, but if any addon touches the Blizzard dropdown, or even touches the Blizzard LFG button to which the dropdown is attached, the whole thing is considered "tainted", and secure actions in the dropdown like leaving a queue will not work, period.

However, since you can just queue for other things and ignore the battleground queue when it pops, I don't really consider this to be much of a problem. I will probably just end up removing the "Leave Queue" entry from the menu so people will quit complaining about it and asking when it will be fixed.

Using the newest version of Broker_LFG with DockingStation and Bugsack gives me this error when trying to leave a BG queue. I think you mention further down that this hasn't been fixed yet and may still be a problem on Blizzard's end. Just wanted to poke the fire a little and see.


Code:
15x [ADDON_ACTION_FORBIDDEN] AddOn "Broker_LFG" tried to call the protected function "func()".
!BugGrabber-r188\BugGrabber.lua:587: in function <!BugGrabber\BugGrabber.lua:587>
<in C code>
FrameXML\QueueStatusFrame.lua:404: in function "func"
FrameXML\UIDropDownMenu.lua:710: in function "UIDropDownMenuButton_OnClick"
<string>:"*:OnClick":1: in function <string>:"*:OnClick":1

Locals:
nil

Thanks a lot for the advice. Far simpler and far better I must admit

Hi and thanks for your addon.

THe latest version (5.2.0.51) does not allow to open a pvp queue.

In order to get it functionnal :

replace the line:
Code:
TogglePVPFrame()
by
Code:
if (PVPUIFrame) then
	ToggleFrame(PVPUIFrame)
else
	LoadAddOn("Blizzard_PVPUI")
	ToggleFrame(PVPUIFrame)
end
If function without any issue on my side.

Regards.

Version 5.2.0.51
  • Updated 简体中文 and 正體中文 translations, but translators should verify them due to changes. Also, please PM me when you update translations -- CurseForge doesn't notify me, and I don't use the CurseForge packaging system, so I have to manually copy your translations from the web UI into the addon. If you don't PM me, I will probably not see your translations for months.
