ChocolateBar Broker Display

Table of Contents

ChocolateBar will create a bar on top or bottom of your screen where other addons called broker plugins can display stuff like your fps.

Main Features

Easy setup, install & go!
Multiple bars - top or bottom as many as you want.
Left, right and center alignment.
Support for icon colors and coordinates like used by TomTom.
Easy config, simply drag a plugin and drop points will show. The idea is to easily disable a plugin or toggle its text. See pics.
Load-on-demand options, and small memory footprint.
More Chocolate - a broker plugin to show a bar that will autohide again. Great for launchers or other plugins you don't need visible all the time:)

Options for:

Show bars on mouse over only.
Hide bars in combat.
Hide bars during a pet battle.
Set a fixed width for any plugin.
Change textures, font, colors and a lot more...

Where to get plugins?

Search for broker on CurseForge

Updated list by tekkub on Github (last update April 2021)

Usage

Right click the bar or type "/chocolatebar" to open the options menu.

it works with one bar, but when I try to put in a second bar one of them vanishes into thin air after a short time.

Buffs weren't being adjusted down. Updating Lib-Jostle fixed it.

Long time Titan user, but sometimes it does things that annoys me. I saw this one recommended via wow.com, but I was wondering about using/replacing titan plugins, and using top and bottom bars. I think what makes me nervous about switching is losing the info the plugins provides

Yess - great work on CB! I've used it for quite a while.

As a note, after updating to r109, something has broken with libJostle. Upon each login, I get the libJostle related error and then several of my loader/display modules do not display.

However, once I go into ChocolateBar config, select ANY module on the bar that is effected (top or bottom), uncheck the "ENABLE" box and then re-check the ENABLE box (essentially turning the module off then on), the effected modules on that bar will appear normally.

Just quite annoying having to do this upon every login attempt atm.

Hope it's resolved soon! Thanks!

This was resolved by replacing the embedded LibJostle (r44) with the newly available version (http://www.wowace.com/addons/libjostle-3-0/files/31-r50/) (r50).

The error has gone away. Might want to update ChocolateBar to include the latest version of LibJostle.

Thanks!

You need to put a note somewhere that you need to set toggle to "None" if you want all to display.
Took me a while to work out what the deal is with my disappearing bars and why I couldn't move them.

Whoot, fubar gave me some errors, so'd titan but chocolate=no issues yet... other than the small prob called i can't find some plugins I do miss... just wondering if anyone reading this knows of any to fill the following gaps:
1 - Guild (not happen with broker_altguild that I found)
2 - Rest (shows rest time on various characters and idealy last login time)
3 - durability (i know there's gotta be one showing this, lol)
4 - minimap buttons (i did find minimap button frame but it doesn't show the calendar nor the leave random dungeon one either even after messing with it's options)
5 - Prof/skill (hover over the icon and it'll list all profs and skill level - even better all skills)
6 - trade cooldown (something that shows when my northrend alchemy research/transmute is avail on my toons)
7 - time/calender display

Frankly even without finding the above I like chocolate but just wondering if any users reading this have suggestions for the above... i'll take a look again later and try to find some but suggestions are always better since hopefully those suggestions are ones that work well already, lol.

To chocolate's author - thanks, this is a good addon.

Altoholic can keep track of your rested and approximates the last time you logged into your alts.

Titan hasn't given me problems yet but after this one was featured on wow.com I'm about to try it out.
