Broker_Portals

Table of Contents

Why would you have actionbars filled with portals, or open your spellbook everytime you cast a portal? Just right click on icon or minimap button and you can access all portals so comfortably.

It is designed as DataBroker plug-in, that lets you access all portal and teleport spells from one spot. 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, HidingBar, or Bazooka and there are many more.

Features:

All mage portals, hearthstone and teleporting items available from simple dropdown menu
Minimap button, so you don't have to install any additional addon
Hearthstone location and cooldown in tooltip
Reagent count in tooltip (for Cataclusm Classic)
If hearthstone is on cooldown, Scroll of Recall will be used instead if possible
Can announce, that you're casting a portal

Localization:

If you'd like to add/update localizations, do so here. Then leave a comment on WowAce or on Curse as I'm checking those more often than localization app itself, and I'll repack it.

Bugs / Suggestions:

If you have encountered any problem, or if you think theres something missing. Feel free to post a ticket here.

FAQ:

I managed to hide my minimap icon, how do I turn it on again?
- Just simply type "/portals".
Does it support teleportation items like engineering teleports or Kirin Tor rings?
- Yes.

TODO:
Enable adding custom items/spells

sth_devilish: Feels like a paladin with bubble+hearth combo, which I'm against as a mage! But seriously, unfortunately this is a limitation of the game, I guess it would be possible to do it somehow, but very very hard for what it's worth. Sorry.

Is this normal that you can't use anything from the mouseover tooltip when in combat? Kinda makes it half-useless, since you still have to bind hearthstone or use it by opening bags :P

Is there a reason the Scroll of Recall III doesn't show up in the choices anymore?

Edit: I finally figured out what is happening with it. It doesn't show up if the hearthstone is NOT on cooldown. So I guess that answers my own question.

Yes, indeed. It shows scrolls only when you can't use hearthstone.

Any chance of making it so that it casts/uses chosen portal/portal item on click and displays its cooldown on the panel? My mouse would be so grateful, she's slowly dying due to overusing her left button ;-)

Hi, for your Fortress link above, you've put the Button Bin addon info by mistake, so when you click on Fortress it takes you to Button Bin's site.

what do you plan to do now with the mage teleport/port spells being merged into lists?

I don't plan any changes. This addon is still useful for people, that want those portals acessible from minimap or some fubar-like panel. Personally I'll be using this instead of the multi-buttons ingame.

Yep. I'd rather use this than the in-game button. Any ETA on a 4.x compliant version?

It works fine with 4.0.1 with a ninjahack on Line 18 in portals.lua
Original: local GetSpellName = GetSpellName
Fix: local GetSpellName = GetSpellInfo

GetSpellName is removed from game but GetSpellInfo returns what you want.

Love Broker_Portals, but it's not working on my Druid since 4.0.1. The tooltip displays fine, but if I right-click to bring up the portal selection, all I see is a mis-drawn frame.

Here's the error:

1x Broker_Portals-1.8.10\portals.lua:108: attempt to call upvalue 'GetSpellName' (a nil value)

I know about this, but since I play on EU server, you'll have to wait for tonight, when I get hands on the patch :)

Just change the line 108 code to read:
local s = GetSpellBookItemName(i, BOOKTYPE_SPELL)

The function was renamed for Cata:

This change is already in latest alpha version on wowace.com. Just need to check out some other issue, before I release it.

Well, v1.8.11 still does this: always announces no matter what you set the option to.

The saved variables appear to be set correctly when you change the option from the tooltip dropdown menu. As in: ["announce"] = true,
and
["announce"] = false,

But the mod itself refuses/can't read it. Can't use the mod like this; back to what I was using before: FuBar_PortalFu...heh.

Hope you can fix it.
