Ara Broker XP 

I like this addon a lot, it's a very neat idea. I'd have two ideas for "improvements" though:

1. Give it an icon. A "@" or "ß" would be fitting as very noticable characters, IMO.
2. Make a copy which is a rep-bar, so one can load either depending on whether the char is maxed, or even both. ^_^

This doesn't seem to work for me.
I use Dockingstation.

What display version do you use ? If it's ButtonBin, try to define an icon for it.

I came across this addon a while ago, but being level capped at the time, passed on it. Now leveling an alt to eighty, I wanted to give it a shot; however, I cannot get it to work (same with Ara Broker Money.) Upon entering world, neither addon appears. I've even tried a new character with the default UI + Ara addons, but they do not appear. I have also tried using Addon Loader and changed it to non-delayed load. Am I missing something?

If there's a futur release, I will probably move the user configuration to an optional file.

You can edit the thousandSeparator variable for that purpose (r2).

Simple and effective. I love it.

Even if you don't implement a config UI (which would be wonderful), could you move the settings to a Saved Variable file, rather than as part of the addon LUA itself (this would help preserve settings after updates to the mod).

Also, could you use commas (,) to break-up large numbers rather than spaces (ie: "1,234,567" instead of "1 234 567"). The spaces make it difficult to read.

Thanks, and keep up the great work.

Wow, what simple but effective addon. Please make a rep version of this.

you could also use Titan.

I was trying to use the Broker2Fubar in Button Bins place with no success.


Maybe I will try BB again.

If you have ButtonBin read the comment from OttoDeFe .

Since every release will force users with custom settings to "copy/overwrite with new version/paste" their settings, I try to wait for more interesting changes/ideas before applying them all in just one release.

Before releasing this tiny plugin I was wondering if it could be a good idea to have the addon like this: a starter addon that contains the config file, and booster addons that doesn't, so you could upgrade without losing custom config (and without me having to handle saved variables that would double or triple the size of the addon ). But I finally discarded it: it was not natural, many ppl would get confused.

Another idea could be the opposite: an optional addon that only contains the config file. But that would requires the TOC file to mention it and a silent error would raise at loading if not present: the client would write an entry in a log file, taking some extra time (although it would be a matter of just a few milliseconds).

I hope this gets added in so I don't have to make this change after every update.

So I load the addOn into my Addons folder and I cannot see it anywhere, what am I missing, I do not even see how to turn it on.

Edited for post length.

The bar pattern is fine, and very easy to adjust. However, the tooltip formatting is a little odd by default.

It is much easier for some people to read '10000' or '10,000' than '10 000' at a glance. Giving the option to change that without having to muck with the tooltip display patterns would be great.

A simple local with instructions on how to change what is displayed is quite easy to do. It took me about 30 seconds.

Here's a Pastey with a new FormatXP function that does just that. Tested ingame, works perfectly.

You really do have a wonderful addon here. It's not big or fancy, it just displays information we like to see in a very clean and unobtrusive fashion without eating resources in the process. Thanks.

ButtonBin seems not to show this unless you define an Icon for it. Kinda odd, but putting it out there if someone else is having an issue with that.
