About QBar
QBar - Quest Item Button Bar
Ever been questing and had to find all those usable quest items in your bags all the time, then this addon is for you. No longer will you have to keep your bags open to do daily bombing quests!
This addon will automatically create a dynamic buttonbar for all those usable quest items, it also checks if your equipped gear for usable quest items. As using items is a secure function, QBar is not able to update the bar or the set keybinding when in combat. This will only be changed outside of combat.
You may ask, why use this over the buildin quest item buttons? Well, the buildin buttons will only show items you receive when you accept the quest, any usable quest items you loot during a quest will not be shown, QBar will however. QBar will also show items which starts a quest, so you wont miss them in between all the cluttered loot. The default buttons also goes away once you complete the quest, but the item is not actually removed until you turn the quest in, and you may want to use the item even after the quest is complete.
If you do not wish to show a certain item on QBar, you can ignore it by holding down Shift and clicking on it.
Button Facade Support
Officially there is no support for button facade, but someone has been kind enough to code one for QBar. You can find it here:
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info14644-QBarButtonFacadeFanUpdate.html
Command Line Parameters
/qb toggle
Toggles QBar being enabled or not
/qb scale <value>
Sets the scale of the buttons, default is 1.
/qb padding <value>
Configures the padding between the buttons, default is 1.
/qb tips
Determines if item tips are shown when you move your mouse over the buttons.
/qb vertical
Toggles between horizontal and vertical button bar
/qb mirror
Changes the anchor direction, top/bottom or left/right, depending on the vertical setting.
/qb lock
Toggles the button frame being locked, use this command to move the buttons around.
/qb reset
Resets the QBar frame to the middle of the screen in case it was pushed off screen.
/qb add <itemlink>
Adds a custom item to the bar. To remove an item again, simply shift click it, as when you're ignoring an item.
/qb clearignore
Clears the ignore list, and shows all items again. You can shift click an item to ignore it for the reminder of the session.
/qb clearuser
Clears the user list from items, added using the add command.
/qb bind
Use this command to set the key binding for the last item used, this is vital for all the dailies.
Lacking Features, Problems & Ideas
- Manage the update of keybinding, no need to unbind and rebind if it stays the same as before.
QBar Changes | 2010 Dec 05
- Should now work better on non-English clients. This was done by gathering the localized "Quest" text from the 12th parameter of the GetAuctionItemClasses() function.
- Fixed the "/qb lock" slash command, locking QBar intially, instead of unlocking.
- Changed the "VARIABLE_LOADED" event with "ADDON_LOADED".
- Added "/qbar" as an alternative, to the already existing "/qb" slash command.
- Fixed an issue with the equipped gear scan not respecting the ignore list.
QBar Changes | 2010 Nov 08
- You can now properly ignore quest starter items again.
- Adding custom items to the bar is now possible. Use the new slash command "/qb add <itemlink>" to do so. To remove an item again, just shift click the item on the bar.
- New slash command "/qb clearuser" to clear the custom user list, from items added through the new "/qb add" slash command.
- It's now possible to overwrite QBar's old keybind. This used to be somewhat of a bug/coding error on my part.
- Now remembers the last used item between sessions.
- The ignore list is now stored using the item ID, rather than item name. This has the unfortunate side effect that your ignore list will be wiped.
- Button "count" text now uses normal font, instead of number font.
- Now uses a more localized way of determining a quest item, instead of just using "Quest". This means it should be more compatible with non English clients.
- Minor code cleanup and optimisations.
QBar Changes | 2010 Oct 22
- Changed the TOC version to 40000 for the 4.0.1 pre Cataclysm patch.
- Items that starts a quest are now detected using the GetContainerItemQuestInfo() function.
- Added a few items to the list of items that should be treated as quest items.
QBar Changes | 2010 Feb 27
- Changed the TOC version to 30300 for the 3.3 patch.
- Removed global pollution of the name "button".
- Items which starts a quest should now be detected better.
QBar Changes | 2009 Mar 08
- Added a mirrored anchor direction option, use the slash command "/qb mirror" to toggle it.
- You can now set the unit size of the item buttons using the command "/qb size <value>", default is 36. This option is not new, I had previously removed it when I added the scaling option.
- The item tooltip is now a little more intelligent and should not block the buttons any longer, no matter what corner of the screen you put QBar.
- Zone items should now properly update after you re-enter an instance from a corpse run.
- Did a little code cleanup.
QBar Changes | 2009 Feb 20
- Usable zone items will now be shown on the bar. An example would be the flying drake's essence in The Oculus instance.
- Some items which starts a quest are now included onto the bar.
- If only one item is shown, the assigned hotkey will automatically become bound.
- Since some quest items are not marked as being so by WoW, I've added a custom table that forces any itemid in it, to be included no matter what. So if you find a quest item that isn't shown, please let me know which one it is, and I will add it to this list for the following releases.
QBar Changes | 2008 Nov 09
- Changed the TOC version to 30000 for the Wrath of the Lich King patch.
- Settings are now saved per character.
- The ignore list is now remembered between sessions.
- Fixed the "/qb toggle" slash command.

Any chance for update it to 4.3?:S Or someone can an alternative addon with this function?
Are there any issues causing it not to work with the 4.3 patch?
Thanks

Why bother adding keys to QBar, from what I remember, when it comes to quest keys, you never have to click them, you instead just click on the world object that you unlock with it, so no real need to show them on the QBar, or is there some new quest that needs you to click the keys?
-- Keychain --
for slot = 1, GetKeyRingSize() do
local link = GetContainerItemLink(KEYRING_CONTAINER,slot);
if (link) and (CheckItem(link)) then
AddButton(index,KEYRING_CONTAINER,slot,link,select(2,GetContainerItemInfo(KEYRING_CONTAINER,slot)));
index = (index + 1);
end
end
That, followed by adding:
46895, -- Black Cage Key
40652, -- Scarlet Onslaught Trunk Key
to qItems at the top, makes things just a little easier whilst I'm bouncing around.

QBar is by far the best "quest item" bar out there, I've tried several.
Thanks again for the reply.
You should read about the "clearignore" slash command in the description. There is however also the issue that certain items in WoW just isn't marked as quest items, even if they are, these will not be picked up by QBar. To get around that I added these items manually to a list, you can add items yourself, by going to line 26 in "QBar\core.lua".
But now it is happening more often. What is happening lately is QBar will show something as a usable quest item (and it is) but days later it just vanishes and is no longer shown on QBar. One example of such a thing is the Venomhide Hatchling quest item. This is from the Venomhide Raptor quest from Un'Goro Crater.
For the first several days it would appear on the Qbar as it should but the last few days it no longr gets put on the bar, to use it I have to open my bags and right-click it like the old days before addons.
Is there a /slash command to add specific items to the Qbar? Also, I recall a long time ago you told us a /slash command to ignore an item. Does that still exist and if so what is the command for that too?
Thanks
You can add this by editing the "QBar\core.lua" and going to around line 48, under the "qItems" section. Here you should add the number "49278" to the list with all the others, and it should show up in game.
