This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.
Displays the status dialog from an LDB instead of the minimap icon.
Also, thanks to Antiarc, display a nice tooltip showing how long a role can expect to wait for a group, also shows a text based status for each roll for your proposed group.
Hi Ulic,
Great addon. i have been LF something like this since patch 3.3. Thank you.
I would like to ask if you can add the avg wait time, end of the line LFD:THDDD 10m so we don't have to mouse over it to see. Also when I mouse over it the tooltip shows but does not disappear unless I right click the LDB on titan panel. Is there a way that u can disable tooltip on demand or make it disappear after like 5secs.
My tooltip also is big in the middle of the screen.
Again thank you for the great work :D
Using version r21.
@Pseudopath: I'm not sure I follow, could post a link to a screenshot or open a ticket and attach one. The only tooltip like oddness I've seen since I release v1.0, is the big, centered, status window, there is a gap between the border and the background, but that window I'm just copying the one Blizzard uses, so if they fix it mine will be fixed :)
@xtoq: Added to r19, but I need to test before I'll release it. (Edit: Make that r20)
Perhaps it was going off the screen, depending on where you had the module placed. It should always stay on the screen in v1.1.
Please try to either include a v1.1 type number or the highest revision number(like r21) as listed in the changelog.txt, it helps me know what changes you may or may not be running.
Ah, sorry, it wasn't a pkmeta thing, LBD is had embeded, it's fix now, I've also tagged it for release, v1.0. I think it's pretty much all I'd hoped for :)
as it was wrong in the package meta it was extracted to the wrong folder from the archive and as was unable to be loaded by the addon. I found the error in FrameXML.log. I presume another version of the library was used tho (or one already loaded) so no real harm there.
hope that helps.

EDIT - and r12 is still extracting to the 1-1 folder not 1.1
-when inside a dungeon, I still have the icon arround the minimap to "teleport out of dungeon" -when inside a dungeon, getting an empty black square when I mouse over the LDB plugin.
suggestion: Add the "raid difficulty" thing you get on your minimap when inside a dungeon to your actual LDB addon or maybe a new addon ? :P
Oh, so that's what that little flag on the minimap means :) Might be out of scope for this addon, but I'll think about it.
Hmm, I didn't notice the minimap button coming back when I was inside a dungeon, but I didn't know about the tooltip issue. Just wanted to get a beta out there for folks to play with. Guess I should have included a Known Issues section.
Thank you for your report killmore, except another beta late today or tomorrow, you can also check out the alphas if you like, Antiarc already added some nice features.
@xtoq: It's still a work in progress, needs more tweaking for sure, for example the Minimap icon isn't hidden just yet. But I wanted to get the ball rolling. Sadly I'm pretty busy the next two nights, but will work on it when I can, probably a lot this weekend. Do keep in mind it's still an alpha. r4 or r5 should be error free at least.
Thanks so much! I was looking for this exact thing. I asked the author of LFGStatusIcon if he would consider adding LDB support for those that don't want the minimap icon. I was told that it was out of the scope of that mod and to instead download a minimap button addon (which isn't a good solution, as I want to see the information when I'm LFD, just not in an ugly button). Thanks again for doing EXACTLY what I wanted! I'll be trying this out when I get home.

I've noticed the tooltip is larger than the default display, is that intentional?

Suggestion: on right click open the LFR dialog box. Default slash command is /rb (for Raid Browser).

What about LDB? I found it typed wrong in the package meta, but that should have effect.
Just noticed
LibDataBroker-1-1
should be
LibDataBroker-1.1
from FrameXML.log file.

Thanks so much! didnt know I wanted this until you posted it! Great job.
Oh and to hide the status button I added
LFDSearchStatus:Hide();
to the SetScript(On Event just after the LFGFrame Hide.
it apprears to work from what I can tell.
EDIT - doesnt appear to work in dungeon ;¬C
- Pseudopath.
No worries, I have MBF and it hides the LFD button nicely. Thanks again, I'll be sure to report any bugs/weirdness/feature suggestions I come across.
