ExtraBar  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.1.0
by: Cowmonster [More]

This is an extremely lightweight addon that takes the remaining 12 buttons from actionbar page 2 and puts them above the bottom right action bar. This allows you to make use of those 12 buttons you ordinarily could not see without changing the actionbar page.

For classes that have a pet, I have updated the addon to move your pet bar up to accommodate ExtraBar.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.1.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Updated for 5.3.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0.9
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Updated so it hides when the MainMenuBar is hidden.
Because of the Secure API this may not work well
in-combat, but should toggle the bar once out of combat.
This is so the bar will not be seen while in a vehicle
or doing quests that use a custom interface and hide
the rest of the action bars.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0.8
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Updated for 5.0.4.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0.7
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Updated for 4.3.

* Made some adjustments to the key binding. This will mean those that
had buttons bound previously will need to go in and re-bind them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0.6
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Updated for 4.2.

* The issue where the pet bar was not moving as expected on
login should be resolved now.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0.5
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Updated for 4.1.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0.4a
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Noticed a problem where pet bar was only moved after a UI reload and
resolved it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0.4
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Updated LUA to move pet bar up out of the way for classes with pets.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0.3
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Added keybinding support.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0.2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Fixed a bug that caused a ButtonFacade error message.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0.1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Added very basic support for ButtonFacade to skin the bar.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Initial release.

I'm having a problem with my shadow priest pet bar which only shows when I have my pet out.
It is overlaying the extra bar.
Correction: this only happens the first time I use my pet. The way the priest pet works, I'm in combat. Maybe that is the problem that the pet bar can't be moved while in combat. After I'm out of combat and use the pet again, everything works fine.

It does not hide when you enter a vehicle UI. =\
Eureka! I'm fairly certain this won't be hard to solve.
Okay I seem to have solved the issue with version 1.0.9.

As far as my previous comment on the vehicles; I am unsure of the specific situation as I went back to using Bartender at the time. I am now back on the default frames so I am, again, wishing to use this addon for it's functionality.
I'll work on an update today.

That would be greatly appreciated. I cannot tell you, with the default UI, how helpful this small but powerful addon is.

=========================

Another [tiny] thing I have observed, though, is the arrows on the main action bar. I am not sure if it is automatically done due to the addon or if it is done on purpose by you, the author. Either way I find it slightly disturbing lol. (I'm OCD). With your addon, the arrows dissapear. They become little "black holes" so to speak. Is there a way to make the arrow graphics remain there? (Yes I know you won't be able to switch to action bar 2). The arrows however give it a "complete" look, so to speak. Removing them just makes the bar look weird. For reference, here are the arrows that I'm talking about: I am talking about the "up" and "down" arrow next to the "1".

Move bars? Config? lmao

It is called ExtraBar, not bars, for a reason. It adds a bar to the default interface. It is not meant to have lots of bells and whistles. It is a simple addon that does a simple task for those that don't want functionality without the hassle of configuration. That is why the addon is so light weight. If you want to move your bars and change behavior of them then you should look at one of the more memory intensive alternatives.

What vehicle are you entering that the bar does not disappear? It disappears for all the vehicles I have entered. This suggests to me that you have entered a vehicle with very strange circumstances that I have not yet encountered or you have a conflicting addon. Either way this is something I'd like to resolve.

Part is shown in black circles. So the view is not right.
I'm guessing you misunderstood what the addon does if you think the removal of those buttons was a problem.

That was completely intentional. The addon does not "delete" an action bar it simply does not allow you to page action bars anymore because it essentially relocates the 12 buttons from the second page to a place on screen so they can be keybound and are always available rather than having to page back and forth. Paging the actionbars with ExtraBar displayed onscreen yields some unusual results.

The point of the addon was to have a light weight addon that gives you easy access to those extra 12 buttons that blizzard included in the UI, but didn't give the ability for unique keybinding or ease of use. There is no configuration, no frills and no thrills. Just simple easy to use access to ALL of your blizzard buttons.
