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.

Um, it shouldn't. The add-ons completely self contained and should not be affecting TradeTabs. I'm out at the moment so can't look at TradeTabs to see what's going on, will check it out as soon as I can though. Has anyone else had an issue with TabDB and TradeTabs?

UPDATE: I Just tested this with TradeTabs and both add-ons coexist perfectly on my system. I had a quick look through TradeTabs code and see no reason why either should be affecting the other. Did you install/update other add-ons at the same time as TabDB and/or TradeTabs?

DefectiveUser A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 19 Uploads: 1	Some work I've started on a companion library to libTab that extends it's functionality to make this work. Unfortunately I've been busy this past few weeks with work commitments and I'm about to start a two week vacation that will leave little time for working on the add-on, but don't worry it will come! Thanks to everyone for the incredible support of TabDB, all the feedback and suggestions are great! Last edited by DefectiveUser : 01-15-10 at 11:02 PM.

elals29 A Wyrmkin Dreamwalker Forum posts: 57 File comments: 97 Uploads: 0	been since January since this mod author has said anything about an update and I know I'd appreciate a post from the author stating if they've got an update planned for 4.0. I understand real life commitments, but it's been 10 months since the last post.

Sadly I don't understand the changes well enough to offer up a solution. __________________ Epiria, level 100 Ret/Holy Paladin Simkin level 100 Combat Rogue Feldeemus, level 100 Arcane Mage

Seerah Fishing Trainer Forum posts: 10860 File comments: 687 Uploads: 33	All you have to do is change getglobal() to _G[] There seem to be 13 instances of getglobal() in the library, so you just need to find them all and replace it. Ex: the first instance is Code: getglobal("libTab"..tabsId..key):SetChecked(1) This should instead be Code: _G["libTab"..tabsId..key]:SetChecked(1) Hope that helps! __________________ "You'd be surprised how many people violate this simple principle every day of their lives and try to fit square pegs into round holes, ignoring the clear reality that Things Are As They Are." -Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

def9 A Cobalt Mageweaver Forum posts: 219 File comments: 108 Uploads: 1	I did infact try switching it to the newer _G after my post (search on the forums always yeilds good results around here). However oddly enough you get the exact same error upon logging in. So there's obviously more to it that I don't understand. Thanks for trying to help Seerah. __________________ Epiria, level 100 Ret/Holy Paladin Simkin level 100 Combat Rogue Feldeemus, level 100 Arcane Mage
