ElkFactions is the next step of development for FuBar-FactionsFu.
It provides a LDB feed for your currently tracked reputation featuring a tooltip that allows you to view all of your factions.
Bugs I know about are a lot easier to fix than those I don't ;) so I've got to thank you for the report instead :) also, if you haven't noticed, you can adjust the text that is posted in the options.
Well thanks anyway for the quick fix! I checked the options but i have no need for changing the patterns.
Nice coloring too but i'll leave it at the Elkfactions settings cause i've totally outgrown the FactionsFu coloring :-)
Never noticed i can turn on tooltip hints, never needed them either but a good setting for those who start using this. I'm btw using this with Bazooka, i like all my little utility addons such as this one :-)
Next question :-) There is a + sign at some factions. What does it stand for? Edit: I know :-) It's the factions that you can mark for extra reputation. Smart idea.
from r16 changelog: - added (+) indicator for bonus reputation
so if you unlocked the account-wide +100% bonus by reaching reverted and buying (and using) the corresponding Grand Commendation from their quartermaster, the small + will indicate that.
Potential LFG bonus reputation has no indicator so far.
Okay playing on an alt now that doesn't have npc's like Chee Chee, Ella, Farmer Fung etc rep and i noticed that those factions still don't show gained rep. Tillers however do ;-)
That's not a bug though but a limitation of Blizzard's API. Those are considered friends (Nat Pagle is, too) and use an additional API call to get the correct values. Unfortunately, that one doesn't provide an ever increasing number over all reputation levels. At least, my code has a FIX ME comment for this, so I don't forget about it ^^'
I am using this and i noticed today that it doesn't display the amount of reputation gained any more during a session without error messages. I actually quite miss it now.
I have updated this for 5.04, very few changes to make it a little nicer and I switched back to the old colour pattern simply because it was what I was use to.
Not sure other people still use this or not but I am happy to give the code to Elkano if you want it. (although I'm sure you are more than capable of doing the same changes)
But there is still a problem I have since a long time: I use Bazooka for the bars, ElkFactions is well displayed. When I mouse over, it displays correctly the factions list. But I was never able to click on "+" or "-" to extend or fold up the reputation headers (like "Burning Crusade", "Shattrath", "Classic", etc...) To do that, I have to go to the reputation tab on my character sheet.
I don't know if this functionnality is implemented and not working or not implemented at all, but I would really love to have it :)
Current click setup should be: unmodified click: set watched faction shift-click: insert in chat editbox ctrl-click on header: fold/expand ctrl-click on faction: move to inactive
it fixes the spam and the minimap icon in case you didn't do it yourself. you can also set the preferred release type in your curse client to alpha to get the newest version :)

If you enable download of Alpha version in the curse client, you can see the update. Works good so far!

Same here, doesn't show "gained" anylonger :-(
last changes caused it to overwrite the cached initial valued on every gain ^^'
fixed in r18
Thx! Love you <3

I guess this addon is dead now
I would very much like to see some options to customize the text this addon provides via LDB.
..or at least an option to just show 999/1000 (or whatever the current value is), preferably in the "correct" color.
Hi Elkano,
Nice to see that the addon was updated for MoP.
But there is still a problem I have since a long time: I use Bazooka for the bars, ElkFactions is well displayed. When I mouse over, it displays correctly the factions list. But I was never able to click on "+" or "-" to extend or fold up the reputation headers (like "Burning Crusade", "Shattrath", "Classic", etc...) To do that, I have to go to the reputation tab on my character sheet.

Thank you :)
Current click setup should be:
unmodified click: set watched faction
shift-click: insert in chat editbox
ctrl-click on header: fold/expand
ctrl-click on faction: move to inactive
How did I survive so many time without knowing this ?
Thanks a lot, it works perfectly :)
