"In the case of hiding it how would you want to redisplay it after it has hidden the show hidden quests buttons, using the LBD etc? Or would hiding the title and leaving the button showing work?"
Maintaining the LDB click to show hide but having another option to dont show the minion completely including the hide/show button and quest number tittle, when there isnt any quest tracked
so for example:
We have like 3 pvp quests we haven't made yet and we don't want tracked no other quest tracked aswell, Minion is turned on tho in the LDB but since we don't have anything tracked the button and title wont show. We accept a daily and then we get the minion showing the quest we just accepted the button and the tittle.
hope It was clear now.
-an option to show the number of quests on the zone header would be nice.
This shouldn't be to hard to do, will add it to the todo list.
However I am a little unsure what you mean by:
-will we get the ability to click on zone headers or quests to expand or hide details in the quest minion (similar to nQuestLog)
It is currently possible to collapse/expand zone headers by clicking them, though not possible to hide quest objectives with an alt-click on quests.
Also possible to show/hide quests in a zone by right-clicking the quest or the zone header and selecting from the minion.
Also by:
-Only thing this don't have is the minimalistic quest details and lightheaded frame.
Do you mean the quest details frame that shows up when you click on a quest? (Where as in my case it displays the quest log)
Have an option coming to display only the quest half of the log when you click a friend to keep it smaller
Lightheaded I haven't had time to look at yet will one day ^_^
This is almost, imo, the best alternative to nQuestLog out there. Only thing this don't have is the minimalistic quest details and lightheaded frame.
I do have a question, will we get the ability to click on zone headers or quests to expand or hide details in the quest minion (similar to nQuestLog)? I ask because there is auto zone expansion, but some times I like to look at a quest's details thats nearby for whatever reason.
And an option to show the number of quests on the zone header would be nice.
Sorry if you're not wanting to make this an alternative to nQuestLog, but like I mentioned, imo, it's the best quest log addon for me (sadly the changes to questlog has screwed it over)
Unless I missed something LBF should not be running right now.
I have an issue with one of the layers on the quest item buttons, so the code for LBF is there mostly just the call to it is disabled.
Everything that touches on LBF should be inside a statement like so
So not sure if it could affect the pet buttons as LBF should be nil and not run.. unless someone didn't make their LBF ref local. Will look into it >.>
In the case of hiding it how would you want to redisplay it after it has hidden the show hidden quests buttons, using the LBD etc?
Or would hiding the title and leaving the button showing work?
Have u applyed any buttonfaced code to make the addon compatible with it?
Cause my pet buttons are diferent and only thing I changed was updating your addon today.
And since my pet buttons are more or less same size as the quest items I wondered.
Edit: Another sugestion hide the quest tracker totaly when there isnt a single tracked quest.
Will look into it ^_^ (From what I can tell they should be fixed this time.. really >.>)
Good news is that my PC seems to be up and running again so I can work on SQL again :)
Also I tried adding some achievement progress bars in if you would like to test those critters :)
(Options in achievement settings)
The problem with the headers when all quests are untracker/invisible is still not resolved afterall. I think I know where the problem is on and I think its with the auto collapse/expand on enter/exiting a zone
IF you logout and in in same zone or a zone where you don't have quest it works fine but if u go into a zone where you have quests it shows all headers even those that are invisible.
I hope it was clear what I ment.
Entering an arena
Entering a raid
Entering the normal world
Entering/Leaving combat etc
Tis a start ^_^
I may have forgotten to update the locale file :P
Should be fixed in r48, but its untested :(
Been working all day to fix broken home PC's.
Don't have access to wow at the moment :(
Quite alot of localization errors in the latest alpha (r47):

-Also have you considered making a thread on the forum for the addon? Would be easier to copy/paste errors in there instead of spamming up the comment section in here.
Just wanted to say that this is hands down the best quest tracker. I have tried them all and they are not as clean or as functional as this one. Congratz and good job on this!
Seems like its remenbering the headers properly, thanks sorha2
I have noticed that the LibSink output for completed quests is working for me.
Currently it is display this way: 'Quest XY (completed)'
I would prefer to have it this way: 'Quest completed: "Quest XY"'
Can this output also be translated?
Unfortunately i still don't get LibSink output for quest objectives. The only chat related addon i am using is Prat.
Changed it like that, prefer it that way myself, just had it the other way when I was testing ^_^
Thus the no localizing and then I forgot about it :P
Hopefully LibSink is fixed in r51.
Turns out the deDE client likes to do things differently with the string pattern for those messages >.>
- I have two last requests left ( beside the ButtonFacade support :-P ):
- What do you think about using the collapse/expand graphics from the blizzard quest log for the zone headers? I think it would look very nice and more professional the plus and minus signs. ;-)
- TomQuest2 had a nice feature that notifies via LibSink when the player loots an item starting a quest. Is that feasible to implement or out of scope for SQL?
I want to thank you for your time and the great features you have implemented in this addon. You should present it at some time in the ACE forums (http://forums.wowace.com). I think you will receive a lot of positive feedback from there and also make it a bit more popular there.
-think about using the collapse/expand graphics from the blizzard quest lo
This is one thing I might stay away from.
They are a nicer icon but they stand out something shocking and don't really fit in to well with the rest of the addon.
Meybi some day when I have spare time I will look into adding an option for them :)
- TomQuest2 had a nice feature that notifies via LibSink when the player loots an item starting a quest.
Think I have this working on my local copy, doing some more testing and will commit later today.
- Okay, it's fine for me when you don't want to use the collapse/expand graphics. When it is going to cause troubles then we should stay away from it. ;-)
- I am testing the release containing the quest starting item notification. Now i just have to find such an item... ;-)
- The german translation should be finished. Some terms will be fine tuned by me during the next days but it's ready in general. I am glad that i could contribute to your great addon in some way.
