Broker_Calendar
Displays todays and upcoming events from in-game Calendar in simple tooltip.
It is designed as DataBroker plug-in, that lets you see events from in-game Calendar. Addon will be attached to minimap by default, but if you want to move/customize it, you will have to install additional addon like TitanPanel, ButtonBin, Fortress and there are many more.
Features:
- Displays events for current day and it's start time.
- Displays events for upcoming week (this should be configurable eventually), their starting date and status.
- Opens Calendar on click.
FAQ:
- Sometimes I can't see any events in tooltip even though there are several in calendar
- I think this is bug on Blizzard's side and if you open the calendar it will be displayed correctly in tooltip.
Please update for 5.04!
Broken for patch 5.0.4, had to disable as its interfering with blizzard ui preventing them from working.
So, in latest version I added new icon, that better describes the addon and I made configurable date format. Check it out at interface options. Next I'll add warning about new events/invites and support for events on alts.
Any chance to give us a warning on your addon like setting text to Signups/Invites Pending: X
Sorry! My English is very poor, would like to ask, how to make the calendar display year- month-day format, and this sort, Asians used to sort by year, month day,thank you very much!
I don't know if this icon is provided in the WoW client, or if it was made for the addon, but the image below is what it looks like. It's not a very good image, I'll admit, but it looks like one of those daily desk calendars with the large number for the date.
The icon I use is from Calendar_Broker/Calendar for Broker, but it's the same icon as the one above (just not readily available pic).
xtoq: Which is the icon you're using? I never really found any icon, that I felt was right for the addon, so I was sticking with this one. If I like it, I could change it to default, but otherwise there won't be an option for that for sure.
This is totally one of those I'm-probably-the-only-one-who-cares requests, but how hard would it be to set an option to change the icon? I change it manually, but it's a PITA to remember to do it. Or is there a way for me to write an "addon" that will change that icon for me, eliminating the need for me manually change it when you update? Thanks for an excellent addon.
xevilgrin: 1) I'll add configurable date support. 2) I was thinking of adding support for showing events of alts, but it will be quite big change and unfortunately I have some exams coming this week. So you'll have to wait a bit.
Thanks for the suggestions.
@joshmiller83 for example most of the european players need the date to be shown like DD/MM/YYYY ( bear in mind US is not the world ;-) )
@crazybenny any chance to get this add working across servers and factions.. want to know the invited/confirmed dates i have with my horde char as well as my ally char on different servers.. would be very very great !!!
Posted this in a ticket but I'll repost it here...
The date on the LDB show DD/MM/YYYY ? Where/who in the world shows the date like that? lol ;)
Can we get an option to show it as MM/DD/YYYY ? Please?
Thanks!
Any chance you can fix this?
Any chance of giving us a warning when there is a pending signup like blinking date or a text in red
I'll see what I can do.
Hi,
Just got the latest version showing the date, very nice. Was wondering if you would expand what can be show in the LDB slightly though. Nothing fancy but would it be possible to to show current & upcoming events in the panel also. I don't mean the actual events though, just how many. Using the example in the screen shot, Today (1), Upcoming (2). with the today amount in green & upcoming in red or something like that.
Only reason i ask is i only noticed the Day of the Dead event was on as i was trying out your new version. I would have missed it as its on for such a short time & i dont curse over it on a daily basis. Having some information at a glance showing on the panel would be very useful, especially for events that are 1/2 days only & can be easily missed/forgotten.
I noticed this was requested a bit further down the comments & if this was added my apologies but i cannot seem to find any way/options to show this information on the LDB.
Many thanks for your time spent on this.
