FAQ
- General
Q:Is this addon complete ?
A:No this addon still in a beta like state, most things work and it should be usable for now, but dont except a fully functioning addon before rc1.0. This addon is here now for testing and developing it, so please download it and test it and if u find bugs post it here
Q:How can i submit a bug report
A:Much things are needed for a bug report. First if u discover a bug check the comments or the bug reporting tool on this site to see was it already reported by somebody. In the bug report please submit the following data:
- Description of the bug
- Client Locale
- How do u reproduce the bug?
- Are other addons loaded ? (see below)
- Is the bug without addons ?
- Which addon is loaded when the bug appeared (see below)
If the bug isnt there with default UI, but is there with all the addons loaded do the following to find out which addon is causing it:
1 Disable all addons
2 Check if the bug is there

4 Do 2,3 until u have all the addons loaded
- Features
Q:My 'Lock Tracker' function is grayed out and i cant move the tracker
A:CT_Core and other frame mover addons are hooking the QuestWatchFrame:SetPoint() function which makes beql unable to position the tracker where it like it to be. So if CT_Core is loaded the addons quest tracker mover functions are disabled, u cant enable them with theese addons loaded. To move the tracker u must use the other mover addon (CT_Core, MoveAnything etc.)
Q:bEQL's tracker is gone and the tracker options are grayed out.
A:If Fubar_QuestsFU the addon disables his tracker use QuestsFU's tracker.
Q:Adding new quests doesnt work
A:The 'Add new quests' function requires a perfect translation into your locale to work, without this it cant find the line 'Quest Accepted: '.. to pick up the quest name to add it to the tracker. Currently only enUS and enGB are 100% supported. The localization will be complete when the addon will be released (1.0).
Some locales for some languages are still missing, if u fell that is not good so u could write theese files yourself :). Use the localization.lua and localization-de.lua as templates. localization.lua will hold all the strings im using, and localization-de is now the best (not compelete) file written.
Keep in mind that there is no if GetLocale() == .. line in the default (localization.lua) file but in the others (see localization-de.lua) u MUST include them.

I also tried several times to save the settings. But it seems to be that the addon is not saving all changes I made.
Also Quest progress to party members is not working at this moment. I'll really hope for an update soon because I need this addon and I am using it for a long time now and I'm missing the options like "Auto Complete Quest" etc ;)

Blizzard have put this idea in the 3.2.0 patch.
I'm having a problem with the quest tracker. Even though it is unlocked, I am unable to move it, and it's stuck in the middle of my screen.
is the "quest progression to party chat" option broken or is there something else i need to do, cuz it does not post to party chat
Example
NPC
Windle Sparkshine
<75 Humanoid>
75 Humanoid
Player
Playername
<guild>
80 Night Elf Druid
Talents: Feral Combat (0/60/11)

thanks Angelike and everyone for putting this addon back together! r213 seems to be working as it should!
One little problem though. I use quest helper, and even though I have disabled the quest tracker on BEQL, it still shows up whenever I shift-click a quest to make it appear on quest helpers tracker.
So, I have two trackers showing exactly the same thing.
Is there a way to completely disable BEQL tracker, and just have the extended quest log?
Thanks a lot.
the latest version, r2.12, seems to be working as it should - both the logger and quest tracker. so give it a try and report any bugs you encounter as requested by the devs.
good job Angelike and everyone!
well, Angelike appears to be working on the project again, and has been posting about the current status of beql on the forums at http://forums.wowace.com/showthread.php?t=6891
i too hope this gets fixed soon - i like questguru but really miss beql!
cheers!
