Broker_Portals
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.

Posted Sep 7, 2012I also run it from Bazooka LDB display and its the same. Try right click the broker button continuously and watch the portal frame expanding for each click.

Posted Aug 31, 2012hi guys.
@CrazyBenny: no problem, i can wait.
my first tip:
remove the function findSpell and all use of spellid in updateSpells.
GetSpellInfo returns nil if a spell removed by blizzard. it is a better way for testing.
after then, you must not update the addon every time if blizz removing spells.
my second tip:
replace [ GetNumPartyMembers() > 0 ] with [ UnitInParty("player") ]
GetNumPartyMembers been removed or renamed.
i've tested my changes with druid, mage and dk... ;)
cheers ^^

Posted Aug 31, 2012Hi guys,
Sorry for not updating the addon. I'm just in the middle of moving my house, but hopefully this weekend I'll have time to fix all my addons.

Posted Aug 30, 2012Tabeecat,
your awesome
I did exactly what you recommended and it worked perfectly, until....
I read that the mats were no longer needed to cast the portals or to teleport so I threw them out now the addon shows me has having no mats so the potals and teleports are not available to me. might you be able to find the reference to the stones and devise a fix, I love this addon and hate that I can't use it.
thanks in advance

Posted Aug 30, 2012For having never done anything in LUA before, this was surprisingly easy to fix. Just change this line:
return count
to this:
return 1
This just fakes it out into thinking you always have 1 reagent.

Posted Aug 29, 2012Looks like the drop down window is broken. The cooldown is still shown but cant choose a teleporting ability. Hoping for a fix :)
@tangypoon. It's a broker addon. It depends on what addon that shows it. I use DockingStation (little like the outdated fubar addon if you know it just only aiming on the bar part) and I configure it in Game Menu -> Interfaces -> AddOns -> DockingStation -> plugins. If not totally similar I would at least expect a similar entry under Addons

Posted Jan 10, 2012Each time I use it, the dropdown box gets wider and wider until it takes up most of my screen when I click on the panel.
Excellent addon BTW!
