About Tabbed Dungeon Browser (tabDB)

Updated for 4.3

What is it?

I love the new cross-realm Dungeon Finder and Raid Browser, but I can’t understand why Blizzard decided to keep these features completely separated despite their obvious synergy. This small add-on attempts to fix this by combining the Dungeon Finder and the Raid Browser into a single window with tabs on the right hand side to switch between them. This results in easy access to the Raid Browser through the menu bar micro buttons.

More Details

The add-on will remember which of the two windows you last had open and will reopen it for you the next time you invoke the Dungeon Finder or Raid Browser. You can open them through any of Blizzard’s default methods, including the menu bar micro buttons, slash commands or the button in the raid tab of the social window. Note: If you do invoke it through the raid tab of the social window, the add-on will assume you wanted to open the Raid Browser specifically and will always open the Raid Browser regardless of the last window opened.

New in 2.0a

Thanks to user suggestions I’ve updated TabDB to include the Battlegrounds as well. Now you can easily tab between Raids, Dungeons and Battlegrounds to see what’s going on in each. Please check the change log for other updates.

    Actually this is desired behavior. Back when the Raid Browser was accessed from the social tab, this allowed people a one click option to access Dungeon Finder and Raid Browser from the mini menu. This behavior is stated under the addon description. Of course now Blizzard has added a button to the mini menu, so this behavior may be superfluous. I am reluctant to just take it out as I am sure some people like having it. I will look at adding an option to disable/enable the behavior in a future update.

     

    If you want to disable this behavior there’s a simple hack you can do.

    - Open up tabDB.lua in a text editor.
    - Find both instances of "group = 1,".
    - Comment these out so they look like "--group = 1,".
    - Save the file and re-launch wow.

    Be careful not to change anything else or you may break the addon.

    Just found this addon. What a brilliant idea. I also don't know why this was not included as part of the UI. Blizzard only knows...

    I've been informed that Skinner may be causing problems with TabDB. Try disabling the skinning of TabDB and doing a /console reloadui

    Hope this helps!

    Wow, I'm sorry all. I did the very thing I promised myself I would never do; not update the mod. Up until 4.0.1 everything was working fine and given real life commitments I didn't have the time to spend updating the TOC after every update. Then I went overseas for a few weeks. Just got back and found it broken.

    A BIG thanks to Seerah, Maziel, Dridzt and xplosive03 for working this out in my absence.

    As an FYI this project is not dead. I'd been working on a replacement libTab long before 4.0.1 was even announced. Looks like that's probably going to need some changes now. In the mean time I will update the current libTab asap to at least get this working again.

    Ugh, I'd hate to see what my other mod looks like; luckily it wasn't released yet
