About Glamour
BETA STATUS
This project has reverted back to a beta status since 5.0.4. The addon still works as a library for addons which call it for custom alerts and Seems todo okay with normal achievement alerts but there are some issues that i'll be working to resolve over time when I can. If you do not subscribe to using beta software, I would ask you opt out of using Glamour at this time.
BUG REPORTS
Please report all bugs on the Glamour CuseForge website here: http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/glamor/tickets/
Please do NOT make bug reports in the comments on this page. Lengthy, inconclusive bug reports posted as comments will simply be deleted and ignored. Bug reports need to include the following:
- What was happening when you encountered the error.
- What region is your client.
- What is the error text/description of the error you are experiencing.
- Please include the names of any/all other Achievement related addons had enabled at the time of the error.
Glamour
Glamour is a stand-alone replacement for the default Blizzard Achievement Alert frame. It currently offers the following improvements over the Blizzard built-in alert interface:
- draggable anchor for relocating where your achievements are shown on your screen.
- increases the amount of alerts from 2 to 24 allowing your screen to really pop when you fire multiple achievements together.
- adds the ability to instantly hide an alert frame by right-clicking it.
- left-clicking the alert frame will now open the achievement interface without closing all other open windows.
- Captures Blizzard Achievement Alerts (Personal and Guild)
- Captures Blizzard Dungeon Completion Alerts
- Captures Blizzard battle.net Toast Alerts
- Full set of slash commands to operate and test alerts.
In addition Glamour allows other addons to send customized alerts to its' frame, mirroring the fun and attention grabbing nature of the original Blizzard Achievement Alert frame. I created this interface to have a shared frame to hold alerts for when multiple addons fire alerts together. Developers are welcome to plugin to the alert interface for their own addons as well.
Suggested Addons
For an example of addons that utilize this interface see:
- Titan CurrencyTracker supports Glamour alerts for Token/Currency changes.
- Titan Reputation supports Glamour alerts for Faction Standing Changes.
- GlamourQuestGuru adds glamour notifications when completing quests: requires QuestGuru.
- Titan Archaeology supports Glamour alerts for fragments and alerts for completed artifacts.

Ok nice update but you still did not fix teh problem at hand, the following line
local presenceID, givenName, surname, toonName, toonID, client, isOnline, lastOnline, isAFK, isDND, messageText = BNGetFriendInfoByID(toastData);
like i have said before has changed. it is now
local presenceID, presenceName, battleTag, isBattleTagPresence, toonName, toonID, client, isOnline, lastOnline, isAFK, isDND, messageText = BNGetFriendInfoByID(toastData);
This funtion changed with 5.0 really all that needs to be done is to have the "isBattleTagPresence" variable added and it should work as intended. This would be inserted inbetween surname and toonName

Thanks to all for your continued reports of issue with Glamour, I do not want to promise an iminent release, but I'll be looking at this code this weekend and hopefully fixing atleast some of the more obnoxious behavior. Your continued support is encouraging and I thank you for the patience you've all exercised here by simply reporting issues and not overly complaing about them.
Any update since that weekend ?
The bug occurs when I receive broadcast message from my friends list

This addon doesn't seem to wanna include dungeon completion even though I have "Capture Blizzard Dungeon completion alerts" ticked. Am I missing something? Very annoying seen as it all covers my Vuhdo so I can't heal.
Been with WoW for some years now...
request: I would ver much like an option to let achievements stay on screen for a longer time!

Sadly, still throwing a lot of erros (see below) and missing most of the new Alert Frames. :<
I'm glad you are working on this. I love being able to move the windows out of the way, but still being able to see them.
thank your for all the work you do for a rockin addon...
