DockingStation (Display)  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 0.5.26 (Beta)
by: Vrul [More]

A display platform for LibDataBroker (LDB) based plug-ins. The display is provided through panels, each having sections (Left, Center, Right) corresponding with how a plugin is justified within it.

All plugins are disabled by default and you must turn on the ones you want to use. This is to avoid the complete mess that results from all plugins being on with the first use. The only plugin on at the start is the one provided by this addon to access its options easily. Just click it to start changing settings.

With plugins unlocked you can drag and drop them to other panels/sections and have them automatically adjust to their new location. There are no limitations on the drag and drop capabilities other than the new location for a plugin must be within a panel. You may also change the location of a plugin through the plugin options menu.

Almost all sub-sections of settings have a default option. The defaults follow a set pattern. First plugins check their settings, if default, they next go to their panel's settings. If the panel is also set to default then it defers to the addon's global settings. Finally, if the global settings are still set to default, then the hard coded defaults are used.

Note: It is recommended that you delete the folder(s) for an existing addon when updating to a different version. This is to keep files that are no longer used from taking up space.

Translators: To submit a translation please just edit existing files (example: DockingStation\Locales\deDE.lua and DockingStation_Config\Locales\deDE.lua) and send them to me.

Version 0.2.14

The issue with tooltip addons and mouse anchoring should be fixed.

In order to correct the issue with RepairBroker I had to undo a change that fixed double tooltips with some plugins using LibQTip. The best fix I can come up with for that issue now is to have those authors modify their OnEnter functions to do a tooltip:Clear() after LibQTip:Acquire() but before they add anything to the tooltip.

I posted a fix for LunarSphere under that addon. That change made tooltips work again (except for Broker_CPU) on my system.

I posted Aezay and Vrul's comments on the LunarSphere forums. Hopefully this can get fixed, as obviously a few of us use all three of these mods. =)

Bug report

Mousewheel scrolling on plugins is no longer working when you first added the tootlip scaling options, havent had time to report it like I should have but even with this latest version, mousewheel scrolling on plugins still is no longer working properly, it only seems to be an issue with this mod, I have tried the other LDB displays and they are all working properly.

Hope that helps you figure it out. great mod one of my favorites.

Thanks for all your time and hard work on such a good mod.

Aezay (author of TipTac) wrote this

I looked into the code of DockingStations, didn't spend much time on it, but enough to think that the problem is because of some weird metatable hooking on the tooltip. This code would actually hide the tip when it restored those hooks, and I guess TipTac is making it think it has to restore the tip.
After trying it out some more in game, I've not been able to make DockingStation hide the tooltip unless I set the frame tip anchor in TipTac to Mouse. It was specifically line 27 in "DockingStation\Tooltips.lua" which caused this.

Actually only a handful of tooltips actually work for me. I am using Cowtip and Lunarshpere and that may have a bearing in the issue .. at least the later was mentioned before anyway. I find it stangely ironic that even the Dockinstaiton Tooltip is borked for me.

I'm currently using version 0.2.6 and it's working fine.

Update on problem with Broker_CPU tooltips and DockingStation:

I went ahead and installed LibQTip, and with LibQTip enabled in the Broker_CPU options (/cpu qtip), I start seeing tooltips correctly now, and I no longer have to disable/enable LibQTip every time I log on, they are appearing automatically and correctly afaik. So if you're using Broker_CPU and having tooltip problems try installing LibQTip and enable it, and see if it helps you.

I also brought it up to the author of Broker_CPU, to see it the gametooltip not showing problem is anything fixable on their end...

Broker_CPU

With just DockingStation and Broker_CPU running the tooltip is still messed up.

Weird thing is if you drag Broker_CPU from one panel to another and then mouse over something that uses GameTooltip, an npc for example, the tooltip for Broker_CPU shows up as if you had moused over Broker_CPU. The GameTooltip then goes back to normal until you move Broker_CPU to another panel again.

I'm pretty sure it is doing something internally with OnEnter/OnLeave calls that isn't syncing up. Keep in mind that DockingStation calls OnEnter twice any time it is called but only calls OnLeave once any time it is called. I think some plugins were assuming that the calls would always be in matching pairs, funny enough one of the reasons it works like that now is because of some plugins not providing a functional OnLeave call to hide it's tooltip for when the plugin is being dragged.

I have always had my "Frame Tip Type" and "Frame Unit Type" set to "Parent" in tiptac, but still experience this problem... I tried changing it to Normal and changing anchor points around in tiptac too but didn't do anything.

That's strange though that it's working for you, it must mean that maybe its a different addon causing the problem? Or a different version of Broker_CPU? As far as I know tiptac is the only addon I have that fiddles with my tooltips.

With 2.11, .12, and .13 so far my tooltips all appear flawlessly and in correct scale etc. EXCEPT Broker_CPU, which does not show any tooltip at all unless I go to options and disable and then re-enable "LibQTip" library, after which a tooltip will show. What's annoying is I have to do this every time I log on... not sure if it is a Broker_CPU problem but the tooltip *was* working correctly prior to version 2.11.

I'm using the TipTac tooltip addon. I'm also using Broker_Group, Broker_PVP, and Broker_uClock and all of those tooltips work perfectly fine. I also use Fubar2Broker, and the ported fubar addons' tooltips work as well. And I don't get any double tooltips.

Broker_CPU seems to be the only one giving me problems...
