This Addon allows you to view other group members quests that also have JasonQuest. You just click on the icon on your minimap and select a person from your group by picture. Hit Synchronize if you are doing this for the first time and when completed you will be able to see what quests they have, which are completed, and what their progress is. You can even mark it to view like you do for Quest tracker.
Commands:
/jq followed by:
show - Show the JasonQuest gui
showUpdates - By default JQuest will let you know when a party member has
completed a quest objective.
locked - Lock / Unlock JQuest tracker
wide - Toggle Single- or Double-Wide JQuest Log
autoTrack - Toggle auto-tracking of member quests
resetWatch - Reset JQuestWatch frame position
clearWatch - Stop watching all JQuests
debug - Enter debug mode (saved across sessions). The tabs act like checkboxes
and when no tabs are checked your own log will display. There really
shouldn't be a need for most users to use this.
ping - Force a 'PING' to the party addon channel. If JQuest hasn't seen a
response ('PONG') from a member, this can ask again.
JasonQuest - Share QuestLogs between party members

Credit Note:
This AddOn was created for my internal use with my family while leveling up
together. In the process, I looked at Quixote and QuestLogFrame.lua. Since
the AddOn wasn't meant for public consumption at first, I may have missed
giving credit where credit is due. Please know that this is not intentional
and a simple email letting me know I've missed a credit is all that's needed
to get the insertion.

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.
