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.

DefectiveUser A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 19 Uploads: 1	I've been working on the next version over this past week and nearly have it to a point of release. The biggest change was moving the core code into a library which should make future development of this add-on (and others) easier. I will also be adding the battleground browser to the tabs due to user request. I'm choosing to move the core code into a library to make futue add-on development easier. After the overwhelming support I have recieved I want to explore other areas that could benefit from tabs, such as the profession windows like TGulics suggested. Thanks again for all your support

flexe A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 7 Uploads: 1	Thanks for a fantastic addon, though I have noticed a small issue with it, only minor but I thought I'd report it anyhow. With the new tabs on the lfg/lfr window say if I was to then open my character/talents window etc, the new tab buttons on the LFG window will overlap onto the top of the new window open. Is it possible to "push" so to speak the newly opened window so the tabs dont overlap onto the new window? Although only a minor inconvience for a fantastic addon, I just though I'd let you know as its the only thing I've found wrong with it so far. --- Screenshot --- Cheers =)

DefectiveUser A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 19 Uploads: 1	Thanks flexe for the report. I am aware of that issue, it was actually a compramise I had to make. When I was developing this add-on I had an issue with the tabs being hidden when a new frame was opened. At the time I could not find a way to push the other windows over to prevent this without distorting the position of certain elements of the raid browser, and Blizzard did not label a number of these elements so I could not reposition them. As a temporary fix I decided to change the frame strata for the tabs to be above that of other frames. Since then I have delved much deeper into the default UI and found how frame position is determined and how I could affect it, thus the next version has this issue addressed and once released you will have the correct spacing between the frames to prevent this overlap.
