About FuBar2Broker

This addon takes all of your FuBar plugins and moves them to be shown in an LDB ("LibDataBroker") displayer of your choice instead.

Examples of LDB displayers include:

Fortress, StatBlock - freely movable, dockable blocks
ButtonBin - puts many LDB plugins inside bars or blocks
TitanPanel - similar to FuBar

... and more! See this forum thread for more info and more addons!

NOTE: Many FuBar plugins require an actual "FuBar" addon to load. Use this miniature FuBar stub to make them work with FuBar2Broker!

A /tags/1.0.3 (from /trunk:73)

Tagging as 1.0.3 beta to publish the following significant changes:
- for FuBar addons that expect double-clicks, simulate double-clicking via middle-click (allows taking attendance in NRT)
- fixes from Borlox (Fortress) and dhedbor (Button Bin) to address missing/wrong/phantom Tablet tooltip issues (thanks!)

- Add a second fix from Borlox to attempt to fix tooltip peekaboo weirdness.

- Fix missing icons (Automaton) and text (PetInfoFu) in many FuBar addons by having IsTextColored(), IsIconShown(), IsTextShown() always return true instead of false.

Commit fix suggested by Borlox to attempt to fix the missing tooltip issue some people are experiencing. Seems to have some quirks though because some people are reporting that the wrong tooltip now shows when the missing tooltip issue was occurring for them before.

v1.0.3:
Translate middle clicks on the LDB display to double clicks in the addon because no LDB displays seem to implement OnDoubleClick. This will allow things like middle-clicking in NRT to take attendance in place of double clicking (an unfortunate hack, since there's no way to communicate this feature to the user).

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

a feature requests:

what would it take to enable the user to choose/configure which FuBar plugins they wanted FuBar2Broker to convert to LDB plugins, selectively?

looks like Broker2FuBar allows the user to choose which LDB plugins to convert into FuBar plugins... i would like to be able to do that in the opposite direction with FuBar2Broker.
