TinyTip
<font>Please delete your all your TinyTip folders before upgrading to the latest version</font>
What is TinyTip? Well, it started out as just a simple upgrade over AF_Tooltip_Mini and exploded from there. Now it shares no code with what it used to be, becoming something more, while still staying true to its name. The core of TinyTip is basically just an upgrade over AF_Tooltip_Mini, a small file around 24KB. The more modules you allow to load, the more this value increases. The goal of TinyTip is to allow you to mix and match your modules while keeping the smallest memory footprint possible. All files except TinyTip.lua and its locale files are optional. You can take a look below, I've listed the optional files as "not required". If you don't use a file's features, you can safely remove it from the TOC.
Anyway, as you can guess, TinyTip changes the look of your GameTooltip. Here are the features found in core:

Troubleshooting
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: TinyTip is preventing another tooltip addon from working.
A: Go into that other addon's TOC file and add/change this line to include TinyTip.
## OptionalDeps:
Q: I'm getting an error from TinyTip, or an option isn't working right.
A: 1) Check my WoWI portal to see if it's a known issue, and for updates.
2) Maybe your files are corrupt. Delete TinyTip, TinyTipExtras, and TinyTipOptions, then re-download them and install from stratch.
3) Your Saved Variable database may have gotten corrupt somehow. Try using /tinytip default and then /tinytip confirm to reset it.
4) If resetting your options doesn't work, exit WoW, delete all your Saved Variable files for TinyTip (global and per character), then restart WoW.
5) Leave a bug report on my WoWI portal.
Q: Where's the secret cow option?
A: There is no secret cow option.
Superb ... Thx alot!
Check out what peacemaster17 wrote some time ago. It worked for me
Added this fix to r276 (Alpha release)!
i dont know whats going on, there are no errors and its just not working... if anyone has a hint then i can probably fix it.
i tried a workaround for the getaddoninfo but so far without sucess... have to dig deeper
Anyone have a fix so this works in 6.0? API getaddoninfo needs tweaked.
Will this addon be updated for 6.0? It's one of my favorites and I can't seem to find another one this good.
Because of API GetAddOnInfo is changed in 6.0, TinyTip need to fix for WoD,
Alright I saw the same problem, and here's a temporary workaround that should get people up and running:
Open up <WoW Directory>\Interface\AddOns\TinyTip\modules\TinyTipBasic\TinyTipBasic.lua
Find line 95, which should look like this:
_, rankNumber = GetPVPRankInfo(UnitPVPRank(unit), unit)
Replace this line with this one:
rankNumber = 0
Since this is not my add-on, I don't really understand what this bit of the code does (but I'm guessing it allows TinyTip to put a person's PvP rank with the character's name). However, this should eliminate errors until (hopefully) the author gets a chance to update this.
Good luck!
That seemed to get rid of the lag-fest that I was getting while mousing over people. Thanks :)
A 1000 thanks!
THANKS
It works =)
Nice work.
Worked! Thx a lot! :)
fixed:D
Completely broken in 5.4
Is this being updated or maintained? I found Jordan's Fan Fix for 5.0.4 but nothing since :(
This may be old but I don't think so (http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info5096-TinyTip.html).
Anyone know how I can remove Alliance/Horde faction line from the tooltip? Also guild rank. I haven't played WoW in a while but I remember being able to turn these off, but the options aren't there anymore? It's just useless information that adds clutter. Thanks in advance, and thank you for the hard work Thrae.
Any word on this? The guild rank is quite distracting after using Tiptac for so long. I would prefer to use this addon, but needs the ability to remove the guild rank.
It will not allow me to move the tooltip to where I want it. I used to use Tooltip Wrangler but it is no longer supported so I switched to this addon today.
I tried to move the tooltips to bottom left, top left, smart, nothing works, stays to the bottom right. I like my tooltips offset in the center....
I just tried it. I changed the anchor to CENTER using TinyTipOptions, and it was then in the center? What issue are you seeing? You do either have TinyTipOptions installed as well or are hand editing the files?
