Minimap Button Frame

MBF is partially working for me still, but the buttons are randomly deciding what size they will be and if they'll be square or circle shaped. It's also taking a long time now on login to relocate the buttons.

With today's patch, MBF no longer works.

Stop bugging the author :-)

If you use SATRINA BUFF FRAMES:
/sbf options
On the "Global Options" tab (on the bottom), uncheck "Show tracking"

I guess most other buff mods that can list tracking as a buff will have the same interaction problem. For a workaround, in MBF you can check Hide Tracking, and then uncheck it again, but you have to do it each UI load.

"...but you have to do it each UI load."

That's kind of the problem we're having.

Hopefully someone reading this has found a fix and will be kind enough to share. And I don't think politely reporting an issue is "bugging the author". This is how issues are brought to the author's attention so they can address them. If we don't report malfunctions, the project stops at v1.0.

And after tinkering with AddOns all night, I think I've located -my- culprit. Though MBF can cause issues with tracking, you still have to re-check the box every login. I found that modifying the options in Squeenix, however, overrode SBF and anything else that may have been causing a problem.

Check your minimap AddOns (Squeenix, SexyMap, Chinchilla, etc) and see if they're overriding any minimap buttons options.

Same issue as a couple others. Every time I log out, my Calendar and Tracking icons disappear. The Hide Calendar and Hide Tracking boxes are unchecked, but the only way to get them back is to check those boxes, then uncheck them. Must be done every time I log out.

Apologies if this has ever been mentioned before, but I'm hvaing a problem wiht this and kgpanels.

MBF seem to like eating custom panels. Especially the one I want to anchor to the minimap. I did manage to find a workaround my using /mbf remove when the panel wasn't anchored to the minimap so that MBF would tell me the name and I could add it to exceptions.

It wasn't happy though and chucked out this debug text:

I got that same (I think) message when attempting to use /mbf remove whilst the panel was still anchored to the minimap.

Anyway, apologies for the spam, hope it helps.

I have a problem. My track icon is gone...

Does still not work. I have disabled the only addon that could conflict, deleted the SavedVariables for it.

Somehow I seem to have lost my calendar icon. my MBF looks like it has room for 3 buttons, but only 2 show. ny idea how to resolve this?

I also use simpleMiniMap, but I don't think it does anything to the minimap buttons

I had a wierd experiance after an update of clicking the addon frame to open up the button menu and the frame jumping across the screen and then refusing to open./MBF to open up the options menu and putting MBF's button on the mini map to open it seemed to work the glitch out.Unsure of the cause but, i was able to use it normally aftwards.

I've got a problem where the blizzard buttons, like the calendar, are appearing underneath my other icons bar, even though I have it selected not to collect them. I have a frame around my addon buttons, and they're all outside of the frame. If you left click and try to drag them, they'll suddenly appear back on the minimap for about 5 seconds, but then jump back again. Any idea why this is happening or how to fix it?

When I scroll over the minimap itself I can see the icons but when I scroll over MBF the icons disappear. I use Sexymap, could this be a conflict?
