DockingStation (Display)

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.

Phanx Cat. Forum posts: 5617 File comments: 2321 Uploads: 54	Currently the only ways to make a panel's border only visible along one edge (for example, the bottom edge of a full-width panel anchored to the top of the screen) are to (a) increase the border size or (b) increase the bar height and then scale down icons and text. (a) doesn't work very well because most border textures look terrible when scaled up very much, and the maximum border size isn't really big enough to make this work anyway. (b) doesn't work very well because they don't affect the padding between the left and right ends of the panel and the first and last plugins on the panel. Is there a better way to do this that I'm missing? If not, would you consider adding an option to control padding between plugins and the edges of the panel?

So I just went into the settings and noticed there was some new settings. So i just set panel 2, which was at the bottom and kept going to the top, to be anchored to the bottom and that fixed it. Not sure if that was the same problem everyone else was having. If it is then there was no bug.

Just started using DockingStation and having the same issues with tooltips not showing up.

WoW: 3.1
DS: 0.2.15 (Beta)
TipTac: 09.03.26 (in game still shows 09.03.22, btw)
Anchors: All Mouse

I solved the problem by setting Frame Unit Type and Frame Tip Type to "Parent Anchor" in the Anchors section of TipTac's options.

Didn't work.

And I was able to make the tip appear by commenting out one line in "DockingStation\Tooltips.lua".

Which line? If it was

It was specifically line 27 in "DockingStation\Tooltips.lua" which caused this.

Code:

tooltip:SetScale(savedScale)

Didn't work either. Nor do I understand how it would've helped in the first place....

Dinking around, commented out lines 28,29 and 30 but messed up (forgot the "--" I'm tired, leave me be.

)

Code:

[[	if tooltip:IsVisible() then
		tooltip:Hide()
	end]]

Tooltips work, but with the following error:

Code:

Error occured in: Global
Count: 213
Message: ..\AddOns\DockingStation\Tooltips.lua line 30:
   attempt to call a nil value
Debug:
   [C]: ?
   DockingStation\Tooltips.lua:30:
      DockingStation\Tooltips.lua:24
   DockingStation\Tooltips.lua:118: ReleaseTooltip()
   DockingStation\Plugins.lua:257:
      DockingStation\Plugins.lua:245

So, comment correctly this time:

Code:

--[[	if tooltip:IsVisible() then
		tooltip:Hide()
	end]]

CLOSE! Tooltips still don't appear when I mouseover them. BUT, when I click on something it pops the tooltip up. Unfortunately, the tip goes back to hiding again when I take the mouse off.

I haven't noticed any official fixes on either end for this, so I'm posted. Copied to other author's project as well.

EDIT: Just wanted to note that Calendar Broker is the only thing that continues to show tooltips no matter what setting.

I'm pretty sure I fixed that problem a revision ago. The short version for the ugly code is to provide a uniform way to anchor and scale tooltips attached to plugins. The conflict with regular tooltip mods was just a lack of vigilance on my part in removing unused code as I tried different implementation to achieve that goal.

Aezay A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 66 File comments: 737 Uploads: 18	Hey Vrul As you are probably aware, there has been some conflicts between DockingStation and TipTac. I am just posting here trying to learn a little more as to what exactly is happening. I looked through your code, although I didn't really spend much time on it, I noticed how many tooltip changes DockingStation is actually doing, and it's not even a tooltip addon. I am sure there is a good reason, so I must be missing something, what gives, could you shed some light on the issue?

EpicMusicPlayer has a ldb plugin that has quit working since you updated the code to add tooltip scaling, used to be able to control the volume by mouse scrolling over the ldb plugin, this still works in all the displays except this one, which used to.

Thanks again for all your hard work, it is appreciated.

Re: Re: Doubled up Tooltips

I could just limit scaling to those tooltips not defined via OnEnter/OnLeave but I'm an all-or-nothing kind of person so that doesn't sit well with me. I may just scrap the idea completely if I can't magic up some way to deal with it or maybe add an option to disable it for individual plugins.

This is the source of all your problems right there, accompanied by the fact that you just have no way of knowing what an author is doing to the tooltip, assuming he decided to follow the OnEnter/OnLeave route. In my own experience, trying to scale tooltips on plugins using those methods, is a very dangerous thing, especially for plugins that are (for whatever reason) "forcing" a scale value (whether its a static or a configurable one doesn't really matter) inside their OnEnter. Any attempt to re-scale the tooltip after this, will obviously override the author's values. Then there's the question of what happens to plugins that are offering a scaling option of their own. Which one will "prevail" ? The plugin setting or the display setting and why ?

Most of these questions are a matter of interpretation really, still, in my own (very humble) opinion, it is counterproductive to try to alter the behavior of a tooltip in a such a way, since most of the time you have to resort to hacks (like the double OnEnter call). But I guess you knew that already

Point is, you can have an implementation that works flawlessly now, then one day, something unexpected happens, for instance LibArbitraryTooltipGenerator-5.0 is released, which is used by X number of plugins and may or may not expose methods to "detect" the tooltip frames generated. So a new detection method is required, which is likely to break compatibility with previous code. In all honesty, if you insist on the global scaling option, you are better off, also implementing an option to override the setting for individual plugins (aka the "weird" ones). Saves a lot of effort.

That being said, this is of course you own addon and it is well within your rights, to do what you feel is best for it. Keep up the great job.
