In reply to Mythris:

 Getting this same error as well. It's still "working" for me in a sense, it just doesn't have a background for the drop-down menu. Hope we get a fix soon. 

In reply to Skelzarr:

 Here is the fix:

In /libs/LibDewdrop-3.0/LibDewdrop-3.0.lua  -- line 836:

REPLACE:

local backdrop = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, frame)

WITH:

local backdrop = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, frame, BackdropTemplateMixin and "BackdropTemplate")

Good morning.

I have been using your addon for about a week now ever since I made a new Mage character. I have a question please and also a request based on your answer.

(Q) What is the purpose of the minimap button changing its icon based on which "port" option you last chose? To me, the only reason to have the button change its icon every time is so that you can re-use the last one again by left-clicking on it. But left-clicking on the minimap button does nothing for me.

(R) If the purpose of the icon changing means nothing and left-clicking the minimap button is currently set to do nothing - can you please make the left-click of the minimap button re-use the last used portal option? If not, then -- can you at least make the minimap button menu (showing all the portals) open on left click instead of right click?

Thanks.

EDIT: Better yet, I would prefer if left-clicking the minimap button opened the portals window and double-clicking the minimap button would re-use the last option chosen.

Thanks again.

TYVM!  One does not appreciate how valuable an addon is until you no longer have it.  It is great to have it back!

updates right after I used the fix xD best add on ever :3

Thank you for the update!  This is one of the addons I simply cannot play without.

Anyone know how to correctly add the

168862, -- G.E.A.R. Tracking Beacon

in the whistle section for Gnome that have it (from the Heritage quest)?

Get Broker_ProfessionsMenu (https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/broker_professionsmenu), put the "LibDewdrop-3.0" folder from there into your "libs" folder from Broker_Portal. Change line 16 from "Broker_Portals.toc" to

libs\LibDewdrop-3.0\LibDewdrop-3.0.lua

and change line 3 from "portals.lua" to

local dewdrop = LibStub('LibDewdrop-3.0', true)

The font is bigger after this fix, but you can change the size if you want it to look more like before patch 8.3. Just edit line 1243 in "libs\LibDewdrop-3.0\LibDewdrop-3.0.lua". You can change "Dewdrop.fontsize = 14" to any size you want. I personally prefer 12 ;)

Enjoy this great addon until author fixes it officially ;)

In reply to dabear78:

 Thanks for the quick fix, can confirm it's working!

The menu just looks way bigger afterwards, hoping for an official hotfix :)

In reply to dabear78:

Thanks looks much better now :)

All those Pandaria/Draenor ports create a huge, but useful list.

In reply to dabear78:

 I applied the fix as you described, but my minimap icon is gone and typing /portals doesn't do anything.  Any ideas?

EDIT:  Never mind, I tried it again and it worked.  PEBKAC  :)

In reply to dabear78:

 Much thanks, I have come to depend on this addon to make my life so much easier.

In reply to dabear78:

 Thank you, works for now!

In reply to Forge_User_70948567:

I use a customized version of your addon (subgroups for hearthstones, teleports and portals .. otherwise the menu is just way too large for my mage :P), so I can't speak to your alpha version. However, it appears that setting the font size during PLAYER_LOGIN gets overridden by the default font size, so I just put the dewdrop:SetFontSize call at the top of UpdateMenu. This also allows immediate resizing via options instead of having to /reload.

Thanks to dabear78 for relaying the library update fix I posted in the Issues section (curseforge was giving me parse errors when I tried posting on the front page) and taking the extra step by providing a HOWTO :)
