  •  

Shows your LibDataBroker sources in FuBar.

Usage

Use /b2f to open the configuration UI.

There you can select which LDB sources and launchers you want displayed into FuBar.

Each enabled source and launcher has some FuBar configuration options in this UI.

Known issues

Some addon do not define LDB type at creation. Broker2FuBar does not catch it correctly at this moment. This is worked on.

    Can someone please enlighten me as to why I should switch over to LDB on my addons and why BrokerFubar is an added benefit? I was previously having issues with double minimap/fubar icons months ago so I unloaded BrokerFubar

    It's working fine for me. I have a couple dozen LDB addons on my Fubar. Would be nice to get a TOC update though.

  • osoviejo, you can just open the .toc file and change the toc to:
    ## Interface: 30100 or similar.

    Nice Addon!

    Does not work at all as of 4/27. Hasn't been updated since 2008.

    I'm not sure why developers are adopting a platform that is not being updated regularly.

    Don't get me wrong, I understand that developers need paying gigs. I just don't understand how you can adopt a protocol that is not actively being supported.

    Clueless much?

    "It doesn't work" is meaningless. You need to provide details. Broker2FuBar works just fine for myself, a poster above and tons of other people. Explain why it needs an update if it works without issue for the majority of people that can handle not needing a TOC update every patch.

    LibDataBroker (LDB) is used by an ever increasing number of display & plugin mods that are regularly updated. The spec is "actively supported" by the very active, long time developer Tekkub.

    Titan includes native LDB support. Some of the continually updated LDB display mods include Fortress, ButtonBin, DockingStation, StatBlockCore, NinjaPanel, ChocolateBar, Carousel and on and on. The ever growing number of LDB plugins can be found on this site (here: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/AdvSearch.aspx?lgvo=0&Category=data-broker&lu=All&mr=-1) and even more on WowInterface (here: http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/cat108.html).

    If this "protocol is not actively being supported", then I'm the Queen of Sweden. Sorry, but LDB is the next generation of display/plugin addon technology.

    Hi!
    I love your addon, but please support WoWMatrix.
    Since Curse and WoWInterface locked them out, manually updating mixed ACE, Curse and WoWInterface addons is a real big pain :(

    Thank you for your hard work! real good job!

    WoWMatrix is NOT going to be supported by any legit author. It leeches the authors work and in many cases redistributes it with changes. In addition WoWMatrix leeches off others websites to supply its users with addons, at no cost to themselves for the use of bandwidth. If an author wishes to remain part of the curseforge, wowace or wowinterface distribution community, they will not offer support for WoWMatrix, or its authors in any form or shape.

    If you want an update utility that "cross platforms" Curse, Wowace and wowinterface, goto http://www.curse.com/client/ and download the client appropriate to your machine. it is very easy to use and mantain and is the ONLY supported updater for Curse, Wowinterface and Wowace.

    That is a proven and blatent LIE by curse.com

    There are plenty of "legit" addon authors that have no issue with WoWMatrix & have their addons hosted by WM (in addition to being hosted here & at other sites).

    "If an author wishes to remain part of the curseforge, wowace or wowinterface distribution community, they will not offer support for WoWMatrix, or its authors in any form or shape." This is incorrect, as authors may have any site(s) host their addon(s) that they wish. And several authors DO have their addons hosted at Curse & WM.

    I know of 3 authors that did not care for the "shennanigans" that have been pulled, and as a result have pulled their addons from the Curse site. They now have their addons hosted by WM & they like that the WM interface has links directly to the author's site.

    I personally do not care for the Curse Client, as I do not believe that it functions correctly (yes, I have tried the latest release). It has a nasty habit of installing/updating something other than what I told it to. As A result, I get addons installed that I did not want. When it does install the correct addon, it installs an outdated version (usually 2 to 3 releases back).

    "If you want an update utility that "cross platforms" Curse, Wowace and wowinterface, goto http://www.curse.com/client/ and download the client appropriate to your machine." Cross Platform does not mean partially functioning for 1 OS & a Beta for a second. Cross Platform means functioning across multiple OS's. WM functions well on Windows (any version), MAC, Linux (all flavors that I tested it on).

    Fail. WoWMatrix *does not host* any addon, in contrary to Curse.com and WoWInterface.com. They are essentially leeching bandwidth from these sites and making money of author work without prior permission. There are more detailed explanation there : http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22069

    This is completely and utterly false.
    They have always hosted addons whose authors requested they do so. They did leech addons from Curse and WoWUI but once curse and WoWUI objected they stopped. If they were the inscrutable rogues some people try to make them out to be they could have very easily bypassed the measures the sites implemented intended to stop programs from leeching the files but instead they honored the wishes of those websites and stopped that practice.

    They also could simply download and rehost any addon if they wished to do as it's doubtful most authors would have the means to stop them. But rather then do so they are honoring the licenses authors adopt and are only rehosting those addons with a public license that allows it or those addons whose authors give express permission to them to host their files.

    This pettiness by some people loyal to Curse or WoWUI is as silly as the people who continue to vilify Curse due to former ad suppliers serving ads with exploits that led to numerous hacked accounts, or how Curse's one time lack of file scanning led to yet more hacked accounts and virus infections from malicious files.
    Or how both Curse and WoWUI have turned over maintenance of addons or allowed "fan updates" to apparently abandoned addons whose licenses do not expressly allow them the authority to do so.

    Use and support whichever site you like, or all 3. But seriously, stop with all the lies and propaganda against the other sites. Neither Curse, WoWUI, nor WoW Matrix are perfect. The simple fact is that all 3 have done their best to support both WoW Community and the authors of WoW addons the best they could but none have done so without making errors in judgement along the way.

    I've already stopped supporting WoWUI because of the way their admins have continuously showed a complete lack of ethics by spreading completely false propaganda against their competition. First, (Pre-ZAM) they were the ones that continued to slam Curse and warn people against using this site for the early virus problems years after they had been fully addressed. Now their admin has posted a rant against yet another competitor that is full of false statements. It's ridiculous and needs to stop before the whole community collapses under the weight of the lies.

    What's the big difference, downloading from curse.com or using an installer to do it instead? It isn't gonna change the fact you're still using the same bandwidth to download it.

    WoWMatrix does not make money from the author's work. Yes they do have a donate button for using their application but that's entirely optional, and they have an additional donate link that donates to the addon authors. Even when downloading the addon if it has an optional donation to the author it pops up a window at the end asking if you wish to donate to the author. WoWMatrix also provides direct links to the addon's website and gives full credit to each author when you click on the addon name.

    The only real reason WoWMatrix is being bastardised is because curse.com wants to launch a premium service and have made a bunch of bullcrap to make them look bad.

    By downloading through the Curse.com website, you are displaying their ads. This generates some income to help pay the bill. By using the client, be it with free or premium account, you are going the same way. WoWMatrix generates the same bandwidth, but do no provide any compensation to Curse.com. This prevents Curse.com from affording bigger pipes to support said bandwidth.

    There isn't a menu or a slash command for this addon.

    B2F does not recognise the addon 'DropTheCheapestThing' from wowinterface. They say that it is this addon's fault that it doesn't recognise it, how can I fix this?

  • All we can really do is wait for it to be updated. None of my broker addons work and it's pretty obvious why when I don't get a menu when I type /b2f.

    There is the alternative to somebody making a fan's update, but there aren't always people so eager to get an addon working.
