EveryQuest
EveryQuest is a Quest History tracker and quest list window. Integrates with Lightheaded to show any comments for any quest in the game. Create chat links by shift-clicking the quest name.
Refrain from posting bug reports to the comments section.
Before submitting bug reports, search the closed and open tickets to see if someone else has had the problem already. If no one has had it repeat the bug with debugging on (in the main options window), if it's an import that you are doing, it will spam your default chat frame. I only need the last dozen or so lines of output.
Also, please be specific as to the version number of EveryQuest, WoW version, Locale (enUS, enGB, esES, etc.)
Lastly if it is a lua error (not something printed to your chat frame), provide a complete stack trace from an addon like Bug Grabber
Localization
Wowace localization is now setup for all you world travelers! Visit the localization page to translate.
I will try to update the locale to make it easier to read in languages besides English, if you would like to help me, send me a PM on wowace
WoW Patch 3.3 Updates / Server Query
NEW IN 3.3!
Once patch 3.3 hits, you'll be able to get your quest history from the server! If you are using EveryQuest 2.3+ you're set.
If you're dying to know what quests you've done, load up the PTR, Copy your existing character data to the PTR, run the import and copy your character specific data file back to the live installation of WoW.
Copy:
World of Warcraft PTR\WTF\Account\{account name}\{PTR realm name}\{character name}\SavedVariables\EveryQuest.lua
To:
World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\{account name}\{Live realm name}\{character name}\SavedVariables\EveryQuest.lua
What does it do?
Quest History
As you complete quests in game, EveryQuest will keep track of which ones you have done. It also tracks which quests you've failed or abandoned so that you can easily get them again. Once you complete a quest, the date and time is saved to see when you did it. Additionally if the quest is a daily quest, it keeps a running total of how many times you've done the quest along with the most recent completion date.
Quest List
The quest list uses your quest history to display quests from any category in game. It lists quests you haven't done in zones (ex: Borean Tundra) so you can get the achievement easier.
Integration
EveryQuest integrates with LightHeaded (Wowhead quest comments, NPC locations) so clicking a quest will open the wowhead comments for that quest. Lightheaded then integrates with TomTom waypoints to direct you to the quest giver.
I finished up a quest giver module that mimics the functionality of Handynotes: Quest Givers but integrates EveryQuest quest history and filtering by faction (daily quest coloring/filtering maybe later).
Usage
The zip file contains everything you will need to use EveryQuest. Although I recommend some additional addons to create a more complete package.
To display the main quest list you have multiple options:
If you are using the default questlog window, there will be a small button near the book icon with the letters "EQ" to toggle the window.
If you are using a LibDataBroker display addon, such as Fortress, EveryQuest has its own launcher. Click the launcher to open the window. Right-click to open the options
Bind the window the a key using the key bindings interface from the main menu.

Optional Files - EveryQuest
Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
hmmm... OK. The only other quest mods I use are QuestGuru and TomQuest2, but I'll try to remember to take a look at them when I get home from work later. Thanks.
I just did a diff on the latest LibQuixote-2.0.lua versus the one in my development version (a year old by now, only ~30 lines have changed in that time) and didn't find anything that looked like it would cause LibQuixote to fail. Perhaps it is another one of your quest addons as I have never had this error yet it's been reported multiple times.
I only use EveryQuest and Inquest.

Have both addons loaded and open the EveryQuest options, Import sub options, and do QuestGuru import. Hopefully it still works.

I've gotta admit, dude, that I'm right with Azmak on this one... You're way out of line in how you responded to him--rude, condescending, not at all in proportion to the tone of his remarks.
Sure, it bites when you put your efforts into something that continues to be buggy-- It's frustrating as hell but it doesn't give you the right to blast someone who's taken the time to politely describe the issues he's experiencing. Many AddOn authors ask for feedback here in the forums, (and even if you ask for debugging info to be posted somewhere else), it shouldn't surprise you to find comments here.
This was a very useful AddOn. Like Azmak, I've enjoyed it for the past year. I applaud your idea and appreciate your efforts in trying to keep it functional. When I started experiencing issues with it, I just removed it, preserving my wtf files in case it all comes back together again. At least he took time out to compose a post to you...
I think what chafes so much about your response to him is that no one (authors or forum members) has to post here. When an author shares a project that he has created, he does so willingly and without strings. If there is a problem and the author decides that he cannot support it further, often someone else will take it over--folks are bummed when a beloved AddOn stumbles, but for the most part, everyone tries to be civil to one another in working out solutions. Some solutions just take longer than others.
I like that EveryQuest is here on WoWi. But if it stresses you so much to be spread across all different platforms, then stop updating it here, and change your description to include a link to WowAce (or wherever else you prefer to have it posted) so folks can find your most current file. It's hard enough to work through bugs and maintain stable code in this ever changing computing environment. Why make it harder?
So though posting here as a courtesy-mirror is indeed a nice thing to do, calling folks morons isn't--frankly, I'd rather have WoWinterface maintain it's pleasant atmosphere than put up with authors who flame out because they're frustrated.
Originally posted by kandarz There's been some bugs lately, but what pisses me off is that you think you're entitled to bug free software for free. Instead you don't post bug reports and then you come to wowinterface (a mirrior I provide as a courtesy) to post this rant. And maybe if you had looked in all the comments (from wowinterace, wowace, curse and all the closed tickets) you would have noticed that I know there have been bugs and I've done my best to eliminate them.
The wowinterface mirror is strictly because I'm nice, it's a pain in the ass to have to tag it on wowace, wait for the packager to make a release, download it and then upload it to wowinterface. I don't update the changelog on wowinterface at all.
Maybe if you learned to post good bug reports, utilize the debugging **** I put in there for my own use and told me all the information I needed to know I'd be able to help you. Instead you rant. Good day sir.
tl;dr: Post bug reports moron.
Dude where the hell is all this anger of yours coming from? Settle down man. For one thing my post was not a rant , secondly I complemented you on this addon saying it was one of my must haves and that for almost a year I never had a problem with it.
And the fact that this site is a so called mirror for you, well I guess I missed that memo from you because I DIDN'T KNOW!
And another thing, I never said I was entitled to free anything again where did you see that and where is this anger coming from?
Don't boo hoo to us for the rig-a-ma-roll you have to go through to send out your addon to the masses. You are free to use only one site if you wish or not at all! I didn't tell you to host at numerous sites now did I? That was your doing, not mine. So keep your attitude and frustrations to yourself where it belongs.

I have used this addon for about a year now and it has been a great addition to my collection of addons I "must have". Lately I have been having issues with it and I am disappointed to not see anyone else posting about this problem. I hate being the only one with a problem.
Normally people get that error message saying unable to locate quest in database - mostly it only happened to me when I was doing repeatable quests and similar stuff but now it is happening on most every quest I pick up or turn in.
The EveryQuest addon used to automatically track which quests I picked up, completed, turned in but now I would say that maybe...2 out of 10 quests are tracked. The quest list no longer indicates in color whether I picked up a quest or completed it or turned it in, I have to manually do it for nearly every quest I do.
I get that database error message for many of the normal quests. Sometimes I don't get the error message but if I look in the EveryQuest window the quest name still isn't updated. Basically it's as if it doesn't even work anymore. Right now if I am lucky, once in a great while it will track a quest properly but mostly I am doing everything by hand .
I have used this with QuestGuru ever since I installed this almost a year ago and I never had any problems before except for repeatable quests. I am using the latest version of QuestGuru and EveryQuest and am playing Alliance. This problem has started for me after the 3.2 patch, rather I should say - I never had a problem prior to 3.2. The only thing I have done differently since 3.2 is start my very first Alliance character and updated QuestGuru and EveryQuest whenever updates were released. So I don't know if this is a 3.2 issue, an Alliance issue or issues with latest addon updates. But when I played Horde prior to 3.2 I never had problems.
I keep checking the changlelog for EveryQuest, here and on WoWAce and what I think are going to be fixes for this, haven't been; I still have this problem even with your latest beta update.
This is sad for me because I really appreciate all this addon did but now, all it is is a glorified list of quests and nothing more because it no longer auto updates the quest listing to indicate whether it is in progress, completed or turned in.

Yeah I forgot to change a line of code, 2.3.5 fixes that I think.
Also could you remove my email address from your post.
i'm trying to run this on the ptr (latest everyquest version 2.3.4), however it's not populating the history, the following is from the chat window:

any ideas? do you want a copy of the file mentioned?

Your path for copying the 3.3 data is slightly incorrect.
Your assuming that everyone is going to be on the Archimonde server on Live and the PTR. Your also assuming that they install it into the folder "World of Warcraft PTR" when the default folder name for the PTR is "World of Warcraft Public Test".
Relatively minor details I know but the devils in the details
It should read :
Copy:
World of Warcraft Public Test\WTF\Account\{account name}\{PTR realm server}\{character name}\SavedVariables\EveryQuest.lua
To:
World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\{account name}\{Live Realm Server}\{character name}\SavedVariables\EveryQuest.lua
