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.

I decided to remove most of the restrictions I placed on plugins since the spec is not really standardized and I don't really agree with some of it anyway. Mostly I don't care what plugins do since I do make sure there is always a label to show so they will all default to that if there is nothing else or everything is turned off in the options (something must be showing). Also, I am now treating both the 'data source' and 'launcher' spec exactly the same. They really shouldn't have been two seperate specs to begin with (imo) and it allows for people with tastes that stray from the original creators to get their way too. Since LDB is a generic library that can be used for much more than plugins, not enforcing things may come back to bite me in the ass. If/when that happens I'll probably enforce the 'type' field and no longer allow for defaulting to a type if not defined. It will then be up to anyone using a plugin that still isn't declaring a type to bug the author to get their shit together. |

Maybe you're monitoring a faction you're neutral with ? |

DockingStation breaks DO text coloration. For an example, look at the screenshots for Broker_Factions. The text has three separate colors in it, but is white after the first color when displayed on DockingStation.

Broker_SocialState ZOMGBuffs I made no changes to Broker_SocialState, but: Original ZOMGBuffs plugin creation code is not correct, so at first the plugin isn't showing at all... Here is what I did to make the Plugin valid: The Plugin itself has a label and an OnClick-Handler (provieded 2 lines below NewDataObject() ), so 1. I changed type to "launcher" and 2. moved the OnClick-Handler to the NewDataObject() function.

FuBar Replacement?
I saw people talking about DockingStation being a replacement for FuBar. Does DockingStation include the movement of default UI elements to place the bars at top/bottom as FuBar and Titan do? Or is DockingStation just an LDB container, with which I'd need to use something like DummyBar to have a complete solution?
Looks like I may finally be near an LDB-based FuBar replacement. Thanks much. |

Vrul, the scale in the current version (0.0.19) now works great and the bar extends fully across the screen, thank you!
More Broker plugins that don't seem to be recognized by DS: Bagsy, Broker_Extractor, Broker_Mail, Broker_TradeCooldowns, TheTravellersReference. These all worked fine in Fortress fref. Some of these can be replaced easily, but some can't, so that makes me qq. Some other random things: - DS is overriding the 'hide monitored faction' setting of Broker_Factions (Fortress did not). - DS seems unable to hide both Violation texts blocks. - The Omen and Violation icons/texts reset size every time on reload (I thought it might be a problem with mods that weren't really built for Broker, but AtlasLoot's icon works ok, and I don't use any FuBar2Broker stuff). Pretty much changing and changing back any setting in DS will fix this problem. - On most of the mods, toying with the suffix options doesn't do anything except move the text left slightly to over the icon. - Changing the general plugin default to hide the label does not actually cause activated plugins to hide their labels before or after changing that setting, it still needs to be done manually. I know you're still in beta, and you probably know about all of this, just passing it along just in case, hopefully I'm not too annoying. I love your mod, LDB has been needing a true bar mod so desperately, and it's really mostly usable already. |

Great Addon, finally a real replacement for Fubar.
Just two small bugs: 1. As of 0.0.19 text strings starting or ending with "0" get that zero truncated.. It was quite funny seeing Broker_Clock showing nothing but a ":" or ":00:" with seconds turned on at midnight. But it is annoying that BugSack is not displayed at all because it's text is only "0" when there are no errors. 2. I started porting my favorite Fubar plugins to LDB and noticed that Tooltips created via Tablet-2.0 don't always show on DockingStation. They do always show on Fortress though... And one little request: The idea of enforcing the "standard" is great. But it would be nice to have a list of the rejected plugins (and perhaps the reason), so users can edit the plugin or file bugs to the original authors. Thanks for the great work.

Edit: Just found the problem. I had to comment out a piece of that code when I was changing all the panel configuration stuff and forgot to uncomment it when done. Version 0.0.19 should be ok, let me know if the problem persists with that version please.

Hey Vrul, apart from some plugins not being recognized this is imo the best LDB display out there atm.
Just wanted to share |
