InfoPanel support for PetBattleMaster addon

Hi, I was wondering if anyone would be up for creating an InfoPanel plugin for supporting the PetBattleMaster addon (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/petbattlemaster). I'm not really familiar with the coding for nUI's InfoPanel, otherwise I'd try to do it myself. If no one is up for it though, I'll probably give it a go anyways; I just thought I'd ask first to see.

It's pretty simple to do. Take a look at hmm .. lets say .. trying to think of one of my simpler ones haha .. maybe the decursive one. I think I made that easy to convert into a new one.

Once you master making an infopanel for one addon you can usually tell if its possible for other ones due to limitations.

Okay, well I'll give it a shot. Also, do you know if it be possible to make a plugin that would put the Pet Battle Combat Log chat tab with the regular Combat Chat one in the infopanel? Or would it need to be done as it's own 'page'?

I would assume by default it would be in with the combat log itself.

It's not. It has it's own separate chat window, which shows up as the last tab on the left side with the normal chats. At least that's how it is for me. =S I'll post a pic when I get a chance.

Here's that screenshot I mentioned. As you can see, the pet battle log is on the left side with the normal chats.

I see. Well, theoretically, it should be possible to do something similar to my chat plugins where you tell it which messages to utilise. Assuming of course the Pet Battle stuff are chat messages of a set type.

Aha, well look like there is a special Pet Battle Log.

Code:

if ( FCFManager_GetNumDedicatedFrames("PET_BATTLE_COMBAT_LOG") == 0 ) then 
     FCF_OpenTemporaryWindow("PET_BATTLE_COMBAT_LOG");
end

but not sure how it is utilised yet.
