Broker Bar

This project is experimental.

This project is only experimental and may change drastically between now and when it comes out of experimental status. It may even be disapproved once that happens, worst-case.

Be forewarned before downloading anything from this project.

Broker Bar

This is a simple implementation of a LibDataBroker display bar.

Features

  • Create multiple display bars in any combination of top, bottom, left and right sides of your screen.
  • Plugins will use the LibDataBroker system. Therefore, users can switch display bars without losing their plugin data.
  • Right click any blank space on a display bar to open the options screen.
  • Plugins can be set to left, centre, or right of any bar.

What is LibDataBroker

LDB is an extremely lightweight system that seperates plugins from the display bar. This method allows user the freedom to change the display bar without losing any of their data. In World of Warcraft, before LDB was created, there was FuBar and Titan Panel, and each had their own proprietory methods for registering and displaying data plugins, making them incompatible with each other. LDB provides one open standard, regardless of display method.

Even though it was written for WoW initially, the principles and explanation is exactly the same. For more information, please read this article. Keep in mind the addons listed in the article are not written for Rift. Broker Bar is the first of its kind.

Bugs and Suggestions

While I will read the comments posted on the various sites, it is NOT recommended to post error reports or suggestions in said comments. I WILL delete them, as they spam comment space. Please use the ticket tracker link.

Translations

Rift supports English, French, Korean, German, and Russian, and I would like to have my addon support these languages. However, I only understand English. Go here and help translate!
